I think my program is there....

[usma1992]

I have slain the dragon when it comes to college basketball. I have successfully tracked over 6000 games from the previous two seasons and created my model based on that. Is it data hedging? Yes, initially but you have to start somewhere...

I have spent 3 years on this project almost every day for 4-8 hours a day. I quit my job, waited tables at night, but I finally there. I am now averaging north of 60% -110 over the course of the last 400 games. Since Dec 11 2012.

My final demon... is to remove myself from the execution equation. I was screwing it up by having too many beers etc... and betting stupid rather than just stick with the program. I have agreed to pay a buddy of mine 10% just to place the bets for me.

Anyway, picks from yesterday... use far right column...

Is this legit? You went 6-1 today?

I looked at the last two plays after you posted this.
Liked them, played them both, and both cashed

Keep posting Bro. Very interested to see where this goes.

[Fishscale]

I have no idea what I'm looking at.

[Untied]

I have no idea what I'm looking at.

It's not perfectly clear to me either. I'm assuming N= no play, U & O self-explanatory. 2nd from left column on 1st post is a bit confusing, last column is the play in 2nd post.

Apparently usma1992 showed up a couple weeks ago in the Handicapper's Think Tank asking for some feedback on a system he created that was hitting at 57-59% after 8,000 games. There was some controversy as to how those back tested data were concluded (data dredging?).

Not sure if he's on to something here, or not. But if he starts posting winners like yesterday (preferably earlier) I'll be watching.

[OhMyEli]

Can you explain what the letters mean and more on the system please. Also picks for tonight?

[playersonly69]

You guys realize that almost ALL of his plays from the last 2 days were past posted?

[onacloud]

Let them pay him some people never learn

If you have to tail/buy picks you should just quit now before its to late

[Untied]

His claimed numbers do seem unrealistic. Maybe his backtesting is flawed. But there's no harm in giving him the benefit of the doubt

All I know is; he's 2-0 on posted plays in this thread. And after reading his previous posts, he does seem genuine.

Win or lose, I hope he starts posting plays.

[Fishscale]

I'm not buying into this, was just curious how to read the chart. Looks pretty standard, can't see any back tested data in the model. I mean, this shit looks like it was copy pasted from a blogger site.

[allabout the $$$]

my bad lets see these plays before the games start
