Now that i get a day off i will dabble a bit about this "mojo" system of mine and take a poll.
I developed this "mojo" rating system in the summer of 2006. Before 2006 i only used biorhythms to complement fundamental handicapping. I realized that even though most sporting events are all skilled based there are some luck involved.
One week Eli Manning looks like a legitimate Pro Bowler and the next week he'll throw 5 interceptions -- a few of those might not be his faut; its just how the ball rolls. Even the most skilled of all talents like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant will have off days.
Some very lucky guy, with the stars aligned in his favor, will step up to a craps table and roll for 1 hour. It happens. Just ask any dealer or floor person -- they've seen it all.
A light bulb went on while i was pacing the grounds of Mandalay Bay in the summer of 2006. A new concept to add to my arsenal of esoteric sports handicapping was born. The beginning of the "mojo" system -- skill + luckiness or unluckiness.
It wasn't until 2011 and thanks to the usefulness of Google Docs (now called Google Drive) i began compiling spreadsheets and keeping track of what works and in certain parameters. For MLB, this is the 4th season i have been making these daily spreadsheets. And for the past 3 years i have been trying to develop a system, within a system; toying around with many incarnations of the baseball systems you see today in the sports forums. May 20, 2014 is the debut of my 5-Game Fade the Public Chase System. A system where i am betting on unpopular teams/pitchers against teams/pitchers where everyone [and their mother] is unloading on. A system where i am siding with the books on a season-long basis. Should be profitable, right?
Now that the system is 32-0 here are a few questions i will take a poll with:
Do you like or do not like the system because
A) There are no forced plays; its all systemized. Some days there will be 1-4 plays and some days there are no plays. This is also true for the time of day that the games are played. There is one early Cubs home game on Friday -- lets force a play for some action. There is only one Sunday night game -- lets force a play for some action. There is no forced action from my system. There have never been a day i post 5-10 plays -- could be good or bad.
B) There are not enough plays. See above. This is the 29th day of the system and there have only been about 50 or so qualified plays. (Which by the way is hitting around 56% with an average price of +110. So even if you don't chase, its still a profitable system.) There have never been a day i post 5-10 plays -- could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.
C) At what point can this be called a legitimate [chase] system? Now at 32-0? At 50-0? At 100-0? At what ever loss and profit is tallied at the end of the season? 5 years down the road?
D) Do some of you really hate one continuous season-long threads? Really?
E) Do some of you loathe any kind of "chase" system? Is it because you have been burned in the past or you think "chasing" is dumb in general?
