Reliability is the target of these postings, and as the regular season winds down – and for various reasons - the basis for the numbers the model uses (ie. past-performance data) becomes always more than ever useless. The model’s projections, therefore, become less and less reliable, and UNreliability is just around the corner. This past week was a strong indicator of inevitable failure. I track a few other statistical projection services, and all suffered similar declines in successful results, but they stay up and running, likely because these are paid services with ads, and contractual obligations. The Limper is not so ethically burdened which is why this next week will be the last – until the playoffs begin next month. Like most of you degenerate gamblers, I’ll continue making plays, but far less based on team and player past-performance, and more on playoff and play-in seeding, and my highly fallible eye-test. So, good luck to all – Bill
