    Minimum plays to confirm I can hit 70%
    I told friends of mine who called BS on select plays, strictly NFL (my specialty), that I could hit 70% or better.

    It began last week with Bears, GB, Seattle/Carolina over and New England last night. I kept out the over play so went 3-0.

    When I said the Bears and Packers were at least 70% plays (I thought actually 75% or better) they called me nuts. Please realize that early/mid week Bears were -3 or -3.5 at several casinos and this was stable until some took it OTB and brought it back late week at 5-6 points.

    Anyway, how many total plays do you think is minimum to get statistical significance and say I can hit 70% with these select plays? Do you use a student's t-test on this?

    Thanks

    The academic answer is about 30 (Central Limit Theorem). The real world answer is you need several SEASONS to even begin to TRY to confirm anything.

      Hit 70% ATS over 300 plays. Then we can talk.

        Chances are you'll be around 55% after 100 plays and you'll have to start over.

          forget

          forget your claims for a second

          I've no problem with skeptics, but what I would like to know is, along with my friends who are doubting as well, what MATH says

          central limit theorem?

          has anyone used the student's t-test?

              I've done several seasons as well. Considering its more recent volatility, I've destroyed the NFL for the last 8 years, only with 1 year finishing with ROI under 1.

              Obviously ROI is a route to follow someone, but these guys who challenged me (back) said I would be lucky to get 60% winners.

              The problem is, it doesn't have to do with luck. That's why my pockets are phat as hell after last week.

              I also know not to get overconfident (like in the upcoming week) after big weeks. Been there, done that.

                  I don't blame you for playing the odds, Joe. But you are wrong in this case.

                  Instance vs. experience my friend.

                  God knows there are a lot of blowhards here.

                  I'm being very disciplined with these picks. I'll give it 3 years if I have to.

                  The guys also allowed me to pick two games and tease them, having that count as a single "pick" even though it can be -120 or so

                  I'll admit I can't do it if after 50 even a subsequent 50-0 to make a total of 100 sample won't do it ... and I'll come back and post that I wasn't as good as I said/thought.

                      Rudy,

                      I'm not taking offense, but if you can't help with my first question, please don't bother posting and wasting all of our time.

                            Because someone only posts 51 times he doesn't know anything? Quit being ignorant. Use logic or sense and then please post.

                            Unless you have a mathematical analysis method, please quit being the douche. I'm just asking how to track, that's all. You can believe what you want.

                                  Can you give me a few more details?

                                      Rudy, this is the last time I'm going to recognize your foolishness:

                                      You have no idea about what's true or what's false ... or anything. You are guessing. Good for you. Now you are just being a troll and what's funnier is that you are spending time trying to talk down to someone who you know nothing about, which says a lot about your M.O.

                                      Go back to making your loser plays. If I'm BS, you've already said so, so why persist? It's just lame and childish banter ...

                                        Look pal on behalf of myself and the others that bash you. We know from experience that hitting 70% even through like a minimum of 100 is almost near to impossible and you are not the next golden boy to become this rare commodity. BTW a 100 plays is a small sample size even if you do accomplish this.

                                                  only about the 1000'th guy here that can hit 70% winners


                                                  if you can really hit 70% then quit wasting your time here, just cash your tickets and be happy

                                                  you obviously are trying to convince yourself more than you are trying to convince the forum


                                                  70%. you could make a mill a week.

                                                    I can prove it, at least 2 days.

                                                    The Wynn had it for 3 days at -3 (-125) (last T-W-R)

                                                    3-4 other strip casinos had it concurrently at -3.5 (-110)

                                                    I don't lie. Why do you?

                                                        Do you guys read?

                                                        The question was about statistical analysis.

                                                        I never touted anything. I asked a question. Please go read again.

                                                        Again, read, or stop trolling. I asked about confidence intervals of such a percentage desired in order to minimally confirm it was not mainly due to chance.

                                                        Recognize. Read. Then please say something smart or quit wasting everyone's time (too late).

                                                                      Your pathetic name calling can't change the fact that my week 13 picks were 4-0

                                                                      Sorry to disappoint you.

                                                                      Still, I exposed all the trolls. Now I expect more name calling, because I delivered the goods and they feel stupid. It's too predictable.
