You did too mean to be picky DUH ! ! !
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

Mission, you are correct. Sorry. I must not have had my first cup of coffee that day............
Good thing since it allows you to stay ahead of Mr. Random, who had a great day yesterday, although just barely.

Beardgoat,
Yes. I just need a few days of data to get started. I would think that my first post will be mid to late this week.

For the current NBA season, today is the last full month and I have not updated my table from your picks yet, looks like you may have set a new low for the year this past week.

What have you learned from this season??

Has any adjustment to any of your methods been what you expected??

Now knowing what you know from this season, what would you have done differently in choosing your winners if anything?

I'm always looking for improvement to the way that the formula makes picks. The last improvement was made 12/29/12 and slightly improved the % to 51.46%. Interestingly I've done better with favorites than dogs, which I find odd since I don't normally see that.
I do believe that I have something that's fairly consistent....not a winner but consistent. With that consistency I hope to find a pattern that will drive the winning % up. I know it's here..........

Another month gone in the NBA season.
The flat bettor had to reach into his pocket for a few more betting units.
At least the end is soon.
A few 6 unit net days would be nice.

7craps,
I'm not at home in order to check what happened, but it certainly looks like you would be correct. Thanks.
I'll get it corrected for tomorrow morning's update.

7craps,
Thanks again for catching my error. It looks like it was a good old fat finger slip....typing a W instead of an L in a field.
The below contains the revision.

I'm going to choose to call this a year on the NBA. It's continues to be a challenge but perseverance will win out. See you next year.
I believe that I'm close enough that a couple of tweaks to the formula will provide winners.
Below are the final results.
Also, in my opinion only, NBA=Pro Wrestling.........too much engineering of the game calls and therefore the results.

Yeah, suck that Mr. Random!

My reasoning was that NO picks were better than MY picks, so I stopped!
