Maybe a new format

[THEGAME9000]

After reviewing last weeks thread I found a lot of killer trends took it on the chin.
But looking at how the #'s did...no big surprise, they just keep doing what they're built to do...determine who will cover and who won't...that made me decide to go back to week 4 and check its overall win/loss record ats on all the games it gave a choice on, whether the record was 5-0 or 1-2.
No matter how weak or how strong, if it gave a side I counted it, (and everyone who reads me knows I don't keep records), here's how the last 3 weeks broke down for the # selections...again, easily researcable.

Week 4....it gave 5 plays......4-0-1 ats
Week 5....it gave 6 plays......5-1 ats
Week 6....it gave 7 plays......5-2 ats

Total last 3 weeks....it gave 18 plays and went 14-3-1 ats

The point is, I'm not so sure it's neccesary to even post insights except for information on totals, don't get me wrong the insight trends and stats aren't always wrong or right, just additional ammo...would anyone care if I left them out, or thinned them down, or should I leave it the way I do, and post everything...(the more the merrier).

Opinions and feedback will determine it.

By the way, week 7's #'s are done, they're unbelievable, you'll be happy and they give a ridiculous 12 selections this week...I'll pop them up tonight.

So let me know if the insights mean anything to you, should I stop putting them on here, or, don't screw with it, just keep doing it the same way I've been doing it....

Thanx in advance for the feedback...

GAME.

I think you're right. Also, I think a lot of the trends people post here don't carry water because the sample size is just way too low (and the variance of the sample is just too high). I'd wager to say that watching the games first hand and paying attention to them closer than your random joe sitting on the couch drinking a natty light screaming at his wife to grab him another beer because his underdog didn't cover would probably be more valuable than some of the short term trends posted. Not in any way shooting that at you about your trends - just agreeing with what you said about trends with few games played and them being a small factor in your overall decision. BOL!!

I appreciate the input, that's why I only post stuff that's dated and has happened over long periods of time, you're right, anything that's only based on "the last 3 meetings in 2 years" should be immediately dismissed...

Thanx GOD.

The numbers have always been the beef of the data you post. The trends and insights are secondary to me. That said, I have grown accustomed to reading through them and taking note as an overview but not as a deterrent to the numbers.
As always I look forward to this week's data and thank you for sharing it with us.

 

[THEGAME9000]

hey green...

That's what I'm thinking, everybody makes their own decisions, bottom line, but there might always be something that catches your eye in the insights section.
So more the merrier I take it, is your vote...keep it the same....

 

[athan12]

First I want to thank you for all the information you've provided in this forum. You've helped me, and lot other people. I would vote to keep the insights. I like reading stuffs that will help me someday in the future whenever teams play each other again.

 

[THEGAME9000]

A12...

I think, so far with just a couple returns, everyone sees the insights as they should, secondary and interesting but not as "the beef" of the post. ( as green clearly said)...the clincher.
It's obvious that on the Rx, players know what they're doing...this is the reason I've stayed here so long, the posters aren't juvenile or uneducated about what they're doing as I have found on other sites..( clearly inferior )

Thanx A12

GAME.

 

[TomandJerry]

Count me in for keep it the same GAME. If you're busy, skip the insights but the # is a MUST. Thank you !!!

 

[sparticus]

I agree, you can skip the insights as the numbers are VERY important, tu & gl!

game - how do you decide if it gives you a "choice" or decide its a play?

I thought if it determined a team was a -6 road fav and rd favs of -6 only went 2-4 then it wasn't a play? Or does that count as a play too?

He just said it's on you to decide; but if it counts from last 3 weeks the record will be

Total last 3 weeks....it gave 18 plays and went 14-3-1 ats

So it's up to you to decide which way to bets, your $ and your decision; but the # works by itself. Or just play the strong ones; that's fine.

 

[MalikSealy]

no, Tom and Jerry...I was referring to what he counted as a play in his record the last three weeks. He said "if it selected a play, whether it was 5-0 or 1-2, he counted it"...

 

[THEGAME9000]

Sealy...the #'s technically give the 49ers as a play tonight, it has Seattle in a position of 2-3, so it means sf should cover, is it a strong play?, not hardly, but a play none-the-less....we'll see what happens"..
I think just to clarify what this weeks plays are I'll post them...although I believe everybody should get it by now..

San Francisco
Jacksonville
St.louis
Pittsburgh
Ny jets
Detroit
Atlanta
Indianapolis
San Diego
Ny Giants
Carolina
Arizona

There they are, the elusive majestic 12

Let's see how they do...

GAME.

 

[THEGAME9000]

I'll pop up the rest of the insights during the game on the week 7 #'s thread.

 

[MalikSealy]

ohhh, i see. so bc the -11 road fav has a losing record of 2-3, its technically a play for the opponent, albeit maybe a small one...got it, thanks game
