WTF is an offensive interception? How is this possible? SDIINC did you get your system from the advancednflstats website? Seems like they use the same criteria.

Offensive Interception rate measures the frequency of interceptions per offensive plays. This is a good way to test the productivity of an offense.
No, I didn't get the system from Brian, but it is similar in approach because we both use logical regression. Search for these terms on the web and you'll find a bunch of statisticians who talk about win probability. Compare mine with Brian's and you'll also find some differences (he doesn't predict ATS, e.g.).
Thanks for the question!

TM, no tweeks. I put the formula together based on backtesting of 10 years of data and have used it profitably. A few weeks are statistically insignificant. The difference between investing and gambling is with the former we stay the course and don't let a few losers change a fundamentally sound approach. Stay tuned!

I have been busy! By far the worst market since I've been managing money. Fortunately was already bullish so missed the last week of losses and are flat for the year.
As for NFL, we're at 16-17, 48.4% ATS with a net one-unit loss, certainly not great, but nothing to get crazy about.

We're at 19-20 ATS so far this season with alot of upsets thus far.
A review of last year's results plus this season suggests we're better off to bet more games rather than less (putting more money at work each week), so I'm going to start posting a few more games than in the past.
Here are week 7 picks:
SD +1
CAR -3
CHI -3
TEN -9
MIA -3
DAL -7
WAS -9
DEN +3

With due respect I see no merit to this system. The linemakers use similar stats. If that is the case you will not be able to make money. There are many things more important. Linemakers shade the spreads. If one can come up with an accurate spread you can make serious money by "investing" on all games that are 3 or more points off. I have been posting plays in NBA that compare the spreads to what is a truer spread. It makes money every year. At this posting it is 9-1. I post plays every day. What I do works and has so for 20 years with never a losing season. It is all but impossible to lose when you have teams that are undervalued by 3 or more points!!!!

Decent strategy but as you can tell, it doesn't always work. The key winning strategy, is not having a set strategy. Variables such as weather, injuries have an effect on lines as well as outcomes. I do this professionally for a living and am building my own company soon. Anyone want free picks?

Hi guys, the numbers put CLE and DEN very even tonight, so I'm going with DEN and the 3 points.
Keep in mind that I approach this as investing rather than gambling. The profits come in the long run, by grinding down through a slight edge. It's easy to say something "doesn't work" when you look at a relatively small sample, and conversely, you can say something "always works" if you look at a different, but small sample. I think I've posted before about binomial distribution, so if you care look that up.
In MLB we had a very consistent and profitable season for the 2nd year. We made about 50 units, using a bankroll of 50 units (2%), with a very attractive efficiency rate. Yet, I always get some idiot who sees a 3, 4 or 5 game losing streak and begins yelling "the sky is falling". If you know anything about stats you know such a thing is inevitable.
For the simple-minded: try flipping a coin 20 times and post your results. If you get more tails than heads, we know your system "doesn't work". If you get more heads than tails, then we can proclaim you the Messiah.
I'll be back tomorrow or Saturday with Sunday & Monday's games. If you don't like the picks, I'll refund your money...oh, wait, they're all free....
