i use several different ratings. from feist, sagarin, iskoe, and others to name a few.i also use the rpi ratings.
i use the favorites line and i need things to fall into certain situations.
sounds crazy but it works. all it does is give me line value for games. that's it. that's also why i have so many games, because to pick and choose just a few is suicide for my picks.
that is why you will see some of picks lose by 30, or win by 30.
It also gives me games to stay away from. if i don't mention the game, then it is a toss up. and they always run in cycles for the home/or the away.
a goodexample of the situation i just explained is this weekend i had twenty plays, now before sat they were 29-11 their last 40. now this sat they went the opp and went 3-17. so i've decided to stay away, the swings are night by night, and way to drastic.
the good/and the bad
the good is that i have yet to have a under .500 night in picking games. but the juice does add up. but it is worth a night of 6-6, when i put together a day of 35-20, or 11-2. whatever.
now the bad is that you have to be able to play everygame, every night. otherwise it is suicide.and play the same amounts. no play is any better thean another. the only thing i have found is that after a bad night i have a great night, and sundays are just great for me.
now last night i went 8-4-1. i expect a .500 night coming soon. i expect a 65% night for both wed/thursday combined.
my plays get broke down into three cat. 3 for hme fav, three for road fav, and no plays.
i could break them down from now on so everyone can see the % of each.
yea and i understand everyone being up in arms, but all i'm doing is giving you an edge for line value. choose your own plays and compare. that's it. i compare all the time with co-captain and when he has games that are 7 or 6 * plays, and my system says the same, believe me, i jump on them.
so yea, i understand what this forum is about, info, unfortunately my is all math.
