I have found an additional trend that I will be adjusting the algorithm to take into account. And this is a "DUH" moment. I will adjust it to skip any 2nd. half of back to back games. Had I done so from the beginning then my losses would have been reduced by 1,000.

I found this morning's line on the Timberwolves vs. Clippers game to be strange. Clips were only -2. They seem to be way better than the Wolves. Plus they're at home. Can anybody explain this? I know the Clips don't have Chris Paul but they have won 7 in a row without him.

For whatever it's worth, my stats show that the Wolves are scoring at a rate around 6% better over their last 5 games as compared to the 5 before them. Not related to this game against the Clippers, but the Wolves seem to have a nice roster of young players. If they buy into Thibs' coaching then I will expect them to do well in the future.

Sorry, but I misspoke in my previous post. The Wolves' offensive stats are 6% better. Not their scoring.

Do you think it's possible that the books sometimes give the players an easy pick to keep them interested when most are betting the NFL? Probably not. Just a thought.

No. I wouldn't think so. My belief has been that any edge to the books is because of the officiating. I have always viewed the NBA as the basketball division of the World Wide Wrestling federation. Stars get calls and rooks don't and that doesn't make for an honest game.

Unbelievable. The line has moved a lot and now the Wolves are the -1 faves. I wonder if some whale crushed in on the Wolves. I'm thinking that somebody knows something that I don't know about this game. I guess despite the record people are focusing on Griffin and Paul being out.

Interesting. I'm not going to do it, but it seems to me that the Clips are awfully tempting at that number. I've always believed that backups tend to step up, initially, to filling in with a well played game. Adrenalin, or something.

Yeah, I agree. I was wrong about Chris Paul. He was injured on Monday. So, I guess that explains it.

Wow, this is rapidly becoming an exercise in how to lose money. Favorites being picked are just horrendous. How does anybody lose at home to the likes of the Brooklyn Nets? Time to take a hard look at the favorites and either make another tweak or drop them altogether. Maybe the answer lies in just flipping to the other side on any favorite picked?

Today's Picks:
 Celtics laying -330 to win 100
 Suns laying 100 to win 205
 Clippers laying 100 to win 155


I took a quick look at how the favorites have done since 12/22 (date of my last change to the algorithm) and despite having a 67.5% win rate, they've gotten crushed.....................and this win rate is an improvement over the less than 63% that it was at prior to 12/22 which would have to mean that the losers were at higher average loss amounts, even though there were less of them......
