The bill in congress that would make gun silencers legal is actually called the "Hearing Protection Act"

That's all sounding very familiar now Doves.

For current relevant information, I've been running a lot of Excel, do a lot of repeating, and do far too much manual input. On top of that, the main sheet I use to input data is a hand written guide, one I use for every sport. That's part of the sharp forecast and many current state of the market metrics.

The stacking forecast is more involved and requires a lot more data manipulation.

Good stuff Doves, and a bit provocative if I do say so myself.

Excuse me, I didn't smell my toothbrush before I brushed my teeth this morning, I think I need some breath freshener...

Derivatives of stats can be easily done with SQL queries or programming. My old method was to have a database of box scores and derive advanced stats/splits/season stats from that. Haven't worked with any artificial intelligence programming frameworks, but am looking to get my feet wet, gonna check out decision trees. I write code all day, any interface that you are looking to create is probably easier/cheaper than you think. For "live interface" do you mean gathering real time stats? For live betting? Anything can be automated pretty easily. This other poster you speak of sounds like a legend. You never really elaborated much on this "interface". Anything you can imagine can probably be done though.

I look at a lot at rankings of stats, not raw stats, to compare to league averages. Raw stats will change but there will always only be 30 rankings. Not sure how to use the information yet, gonna start playing around with linear regressions with my own stats I create, maybe filtering out weak opponents or other filters. I can still get creative with team stats without having to analyze individual lineups/player collections. Planning on doing regressions based on advanced stats, traditional stats, recent performance, performance against certain types of opponents. The team stats are right next door.

I tend to underestimate points scored and other basics stats, will keep that in mind to not underrate them. I used to scrape web pages, now the name of the game is to figure out which interfaces the websites call behind the scenes. Most websites will do a call to an interface to return JSON data (the format I posted earlier) which is then displayed on the webpage. You can bypass scraping the webpage and directly call the interface yourself if you know the parameters.

One of the interface that MLB.com and MLB At Bat mobile app calls:

https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1/game/492485/feed/live/diffPatch?language=en&startTimecode=20170930_013023

You can use this data to run regressions/make predictions during the first few innings, even first inning, maybe check out spin rate, movement, or metrics of the pitcher to determine when a starter doesn't have "his stuff" and make a live bet.

Here is one of the interfaces that NBA.com calls, hustle team stats. You can pass parameters to get data just for the first minute of the game, over a certain time period of the game, etc. Before you would have to scrape the play by play data and parse it which would be a huge task. Now you call the API, give me the stats for the first 5 minutes of the game.

http://stats.nba.com/stats/hustlestatsboxscore?GameID=0021601154

Here is an example what NFL calls

NFL.com | Official Site of the National Football League

http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/game-center/2017012200/2017012200_gtd.json

The official source for NFL news, video highlights, fantasy football, game-day coverage, schedules, stats, scores and more.

You can paste the URL/data into this site to make it more human readable if you want to check it out (prettify)

JSON Formatter & Validator

https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

Format and validate JSON data so that it can easily be read by human beings.

Scraping things like odds, news reports, would be harder potentially, but gathering sports statistics is easier than ever.

I just picked up the UNDER tonight in KC.

The sharp forecast has KC wining with 24 points to Washington's 21 points.

Tom Petty :-(

KVB · 10-02-17, 07:27 PM

That forecast triggers Under buys down to 48.5, but not 48. I took the 48 anyway.

Fidel_CashFlow · 10-02-17, 07:28 PM

I wanted to play the under as well KVB, but my NFL capping is rough at the moment

Fidel_CashFlow · 10-02-17, 07:29 PM

This , or the versions close to it have always been my fave baseball logo
even as a kid it stood out, like on the Dairy Queen ice cream sundae hats

The Twins

Not even sure why, just always loved it

KVB · 10-02-17, 07:37 PM

I stuck KC in the contests too, I needed two plays.

One of the Greatest and the Heartbreakers a solid band. I saw them live a couple of times...

Fidel_CashFlow · 10-02-17, 08:35 PM

Tom Petty was just interesting man
Looked interesting, sounded interesting interesting mannerisms
IDK, just another great one gone, just like that... gone

Fidel_CashFlow · 10-02-17, 08:39 PM

not sure if its disrespect towards the people who died in Vegas shooting
despairing so bad over Petty, but im trying to not think about the Vegas shooting
as the random acts of violence are the ones that eat me up inside the most

Makes us think about our own mortality. Are we going to do something great before our hearts give out, or we get gunned down senselessly?

Are we?
