Worse yet, it's an accurate line.
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

Quote: SlackJawYokelHey Steeldco,
I have been following your threads for a while now and would like to make a suggestion, add another set of picks using a coin flip ATS. We have this argument all the time at work that it is not possible to beat random picks vs. educated picks because the lines for pro-sports are far to accurate. I think that since you carefully track your play already; it would be an interesting experiment to see if you can outperform random picks.
Yo Slack, I'll try to remember to flip the coin starting tomorrow.......or maybe I'll use Excel to randomize a pick for me.....but in any case, maybe tomorrow.

You'll notice the W or L after each of my picks. This designates, thru use of Excel's random function, whether the team was randomly picked to win or lose. Per Slack's request, we'll track how my picks do against Excel's randomly picked winners or losers.

Thanks.

It seems that I now have a new competitor. Mission146 is going to join in. He claims that he won’t do well at this…..which is why I agreed to include his picks. Now, however, I wonder. I wonder whether he is just plain old lyin’ to me. But I’ve committed (and been committed, btw). So Mission146 enters the fray to try and best both me and Mr. Excel Random. In all honesty, I think I fear Mission146 more than Mr. Random....for the time being.
Here’s Mission’s picks (his picks are submitted based upon lines from Justbet):
Atlanta -6 L
Detroit +1 L
Washington +15 L
Orlando -1 L
Brooklyn +3.5 L
Wow, Mr. Random has picked against every single one of Mission’s picks!
Good Luck Mission146!

Thank you very much, SteelDCo! This should be fun.
I will say that I admit that my Picks should end up being little better than completely random. I wouldn't lie about that. If I do well, I'll disclose my picks metric, and I will say that same metric worked horribly for NFL Picks when I used it years ago. I think there's not really enough of a sample size of NFL Games for my metric to work. I'm using the plain Jane version of the metric right now, and if my record falls below .400 after a few days, I'll use the advanced version which should be even worse!

Coin flip is killing Mission 146. Expect retaliation in the form of a steeldco suspension.

Mister Random has a cruel sense of humor. Let's the chumps thinking they might actually win.

Mister Random should be at about 50 percent if the lines are as good as I think they are in pro sports. As for lesser level college games I feel that there is opportunity to take advantage of some skewed lines.

Not true. Mr. Random gave gives the illusion that you might win, before busting your bubble once gain.

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

......and we have a new leader in Mission146 with the odds on favorite, Mr. Random, bringin' up the rear.
Today's Picks:
Minnesota Timberwolves #VALUE! W
Portland Trail Blazers -3½ L

For the record, today's picks of 12/29/12, were reduced by the addition of a new metric. The hope is to attain fewer picks at a higher win rate.....we'll see.

I see where COVERS.COM has published a line of Minnesota -8.5, so we are taking Minnesota today.
