Quote: steeldcoYesterday's loss, and using the Kelly Criterion, has brought the wage size down to 1,200 (rounded down). I will be going to that number today and using the Kelly Criterion, adjusted daily, going forward. Having said that, it's going to be a long day in that 4 visiting favorites were picked today and at 1,200 each an 0 for 4 on those would cut starting bankroll down considerably.

Quote: steeldcoMidwestAP, I go strictly by the data produced by the algorithm, but when I saw Washington as a pick last night I thought that it was a near sure thing........instead crap. How does Washington not beat the Lakers by 20? Yea. I know the Lakers were home....
I hear ya. The Lakers started hot and got a big early lead and still almost didn't cover. I guess that's why they play the game. I have all four visiting fav's you mentioned for tonight.
