lt8989 said:First, I would like to thank you for your system and hard work. I have spent months putting this system into excel, using your formulas. I run into a few obstacles and would like to ask you for some inputs:
1. How far off your line from the real line?
2. For LineOff calculation, if SD Wk1 is +11 and CHI Wk1 is -12.5, for week 2 LineOff calculation SD@CHI -4, would it be SD +23.5/10=+2.35? Or SD +1.5/10=SD +.15?
Just for testing your line.....I have SD -6.04, CIN -2.84, and DET -1.93.
Am I on the right track? Am I missing something? Again, thank you for your system.

when you're done with your system, may I have a copy of it? My email is Thanks.
Bad-Faith said:I'm having trouble with the division part of the equation.
For the Line Off number what do you base the dividing number one.
I'm confused.
Same question for the Time of Possession differential and Penalty yardage.
I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Thanks for the help.
Knockout said:For Lineoff, if the difference between the 2 teams is above 50, you divide by 20. Otherwise, divide by 10.
For T.O.P., over 25, divide by 10. Otherwise, just 5.
For Penalty yards, divide by 100 always.

gb week 1 -24
new orleans +8
new orleans -16 so new orleans -2 is good

I'm still getting something wrong.
I am not getting the same end result as you did for the San Diego game at -7.6
Just to clarify how do you assess the Turnover Margin.
And if possible can you show how you came up with -7.6 for the San Diego.
I only want to understand the formula and do some homework myself.
This formula is a proven winner, kudos to Ace-Ace for inventing it.
Knockout said:Here are the numbers for SD and Ten.
Giveaway/Penalty yards/T.O.P/Lineoff
SD 4 /60/9/27
Ten 4/111/-7/-13
Bad-Faith said:I appreciate your guidance here. I'm new to this as you can tell.
Giveaways.
San Diego had 0 turnovers in week one.
Tennessee had 2 ints and 1 fumble for a total of 3.
I don't see how you came up with 4 for each team.
--------------------------------------
Penalty Yards
SD had 3 penalites for 25 yards
Ten had 8 penalties for 70 yards.
Again I am getting the wrong stats bc I pulled these from Yahoo.
---------------------------------------
Time of Possession
SD had 35:48 minutes
Ten had 25:58 minutes
How did you get 9 and -7 for SD and Ten respectively.
---------------------------------------
Line Off
SD was -3 and won by 27.
Ten was -3 and lost by 7.
Why did you get 27 for SD and -13 for Ten.
Again thank you ahead of time for clarifying this.
Knockout said:You 're stats are right. You just need to include Preseason week 3 and week 4 stats as well. In addition to that, you need to take 70% of preweek 3 and then 30% of preweek 4.
Bad-Faith said:And the light bulb just went on!
Thanks brother.
I thought I was losing my mind for a moment. When is it a good time to ignore the preseason and just go with the regular season.
Week 3 or 4?
Bad-Faith said:I remember reading Ace only recommends betting games with a +6 or more value line.
With San Diego at -7.6 and the line set at 11.5 what is the derived value line and is it a good play.
Knockout said:He actually looks at values of 7 or more. So w/ the actual vegas line of -11.5 and his "adjusted line" of -7.6; -11.5-(-7.6)=-3.9. So there is not enough value in this line for him to consider looking at it further. Remember, this system is the "weeding out" of plays. First he looks for the value, then if there is value, he looks closer at the games. He doesn't make plays on all values of 7 or more.
