2010 mlb capping & betting #102 - daily key info plus q&a

[pops69]

First I have to say that until recently I didn't know many of important stats in baseball. I was just casual viewer who knew meaning of few basic stats and that was about it. I enjoyed games but was lost when reading stats at ESPN site.

I tried to follow steps 1-4, you have all this in PDWS, and make my initial decision which game to pick. Not just for over/under but also to pick possible winners.

Then I'd go to http://www.wunderground.com/sports/MLB/ to check weather for possible O/U picks.

Third step was http://www.statfox.com/mlb/umpiremain.asp but that didn't always influence my decision if I liked what have I seen in PDWS if there were interesting numbers regarding ERA, WHIP, OU/ERA difference etc.

This was all done without touching pivots and I managed to score some good picks but that could only be beginners luck. However it gave me balls to go against some "consensus" plays and I earned few bucks.

Only today I decided to rearrange pivots on old Master file. You just need to drag and drop items on the right side menu and some things get hidden. So I learned how to get rid of confusing stuff and easily add only things that interest me and when I want it. Nothing more. Now next step is to learn how to use all info presented in Master which currently isn't useful to me but will be in a day or two.

And I didn't knew shit about Excel and was afraid to touch Master file not to fuck anything before I've read this http://spreadsheets.about.com/b/2009/09/26/excel-2007-pivot-table-tutorial.htm

that's just the way u should use it and do it. i spend much of my time in the pivot tables once i've determined which game to look at in more detail.

Thanks mizantrop for taking the time to help out. That's a good beginning. I've had a hard time finding someone locally to tutor me on pivot tables.

jj i dont think your ever going to understand how to use those pivots. 90% of the time they are good as they are. about 5% you just change one of the drop down arrows in the top box to filter your results. if you need to go further than that dont bet that game your looking at cause your drilling to far down

i'd look at that tb game. pdws tell it all. .000 and .056 so a very low h&w.

with a 6.5 number guess everyone figures it's going to stay that way

When you say h&w, do you mean hits and walks? You're saying that by the .000 and .056 that should say that the 6.5 is a bit low? Just trying to get educated. Thanks POPS!!

I think I understand now; you thinking, with only a .56 game ERA, think 6.5 is too high. I guess we won't know what C. Lee has since he's yet to pitch yet.

Since the day I've seen this thread I was impressed by all the work. Now when I learn something new every day I'm more and more impressed about easy use of this data.
After I finish with beginning of last years thread and cover all my questions I'll start asking things I didn't learn and I hope pops will still be around.
I can't understand people being afraid to spend few hours daily learning for their own financial benefit.

Bingo, someone gets it. Pops is hilarious (the Boston Tea Party comment killed me...must be the lack of sleep from exams), but the guy has the best info of every single poster on the forums. All these idiots wasting their time in the in-game thread, while they have all this valuable info at their disposal.

i never could understand why all those in game threads, esp with the delay vs live feeds from anywhere in the world

My guess is that nobody asked any questions because Pops said to keep it quiet.
