This will allow you to take advantage of winning streaks - thoughts?


    Degen-

    I have a lot of thoughts on this because this is exactly how my system works.  I have studied streaks and playing an entire series from every way imaginable.  Using your code, I've been able to incorporate some stats into my system that I wasn't using before.  It is working pretty well so far.  I have some interesting data on series games that might be useful to everyone.  Let me see if I can get it all in some presentable form over the weekend and post a spreadsheet and then we can bounce some ideas off each other.

    As far as the super systems go, I don't really use them or that spreadsheet.  I don't believe in the theory behind most of those systems.  I fixed the sheet for 2013 because I thought it would be useful for people on here and I was in the midst of doing a bunch of coding for this season anyway.  At the time I thought I was going to be posting more often...I still want to try and do that, but at the very least I want to contribute a bit more to the work you guys are doing.

    One last note...I wanted to add that I've found that a 3 game chase is just too many games to be profitable in almost every scenario because the win percentage you need for it to be profitable.  It can work in certain scenarios where you play the dog in game A when you know they will be a dog in game B (or a slight favorite) but that can be tough to predict.  I think it's best to look at 2 game chases that start on game A or on game B of a series.  Less plays but you end up ahead of 3 game chases in the long run due to the enormous losses that come on C games.  I'll try to post some data to back this up over the weekend.  An interesting angle that I've found profitable is to bet a team on game A and then play them again on game B in the right scenarios.  This is somewhat what my system is based on.  Anyway, I don't want to get too complicated with the post, just wanted to say that in my opinion, looking at 2 game chases (and also 2 game series) is probably the best angle if you want to "chase".

    Leprechaun, 
    If/when you have time, could you check the SuperSystem spreadsheet for me?  I haven't gotten any plays at all for sys #1 since may 5th, and there seems like there should be for other systems.  All I get is for Sys 6 and 7, with an occasional #3.
    I would appreciate it

    I fixed the spreadsheet for now.  Go back and redownload from the link in post #79.  I didn't change the file name so make sure you delete the old one.  Somehow the formulas were changed.  I don't know when that happened, maybe when I was fiddling with things last month?  I thought the only changes I made were to the code and that the formulas were all the same as they ever were.  Either way, it appears to be fixed now and it's time for this Leprechaun to find himself a cold beer at the end of the rainbow.  Let me know if you see any other issues.

    Thanks, works great.  I made a copy of it to kinda mess with and try get the workings of it...to learn how to make my own, so I wouldn't have to ask you or DeGen if it breaks down.  I'm gonna have to get a book from the book store.  Any suggestions...Excel for Dummies?!

    What does it mean when a team is highlighted in dark blue?  It's not for doubleheaders.  I thought it was for having the dominant pitcher, but that doesn't seem to be it, losing or winning previous game either.

    Buckeye-

    I had never taken a close look at these formulas until now.  I just took for granted that they were already done correctly.  From what I can tell, the shading criteria seems to change for each system.  For example, in system #6, the team is only highlighted if it's not a C game AND the team has a pitching edge.  From what I see for the rules of this system (https://www.guide-to-baseball-betting.com/ebook-revisions.html), I don't know why Degen included those last two filters for that system.  There is similar highlighting in the other columns that doesn't seem to be included in the original system rules.  Maybe they were his own highlights to look for an extra edge when betting?  It's also possible that they are leftover remnants from him trying to build the filters in via conditional formatting instead of hard coding them into their own rows.  That's a question he will have to answer.  At a quick glance, I'd say just ignore the highlights.  If you have a chance one day, I'd say run the filters for each of the systems manually to confirm you're getting the right plays.

    Lol.  Like you, I'm not following it too much.  Kinda updating daily more as a backtest than wager tool.  I have others doing well...UD etc. to worry about that...running manually etc.  It's interesting though, but I'm not going to worry about anymore problems etc, with it.
    Thanx

    You got it Leprechaun - it started off really strong last year - if you review the thread - it started to tank - so we added pitching and over.470 win record filters to see if it improved.

    It's possible that the systems are most profitable between may and end of June.

    I only tracked it for a few weeks - as everyone knows i'm terrible at tracking and backtesting.

    Google Docs is a cloud or something for you to store your documents.  Look at the letters after the dot in the name of the document.  If it is XLSM, it is an Excel file, and will be that way unless you don't have Excel, which then I haven't a clue what it will download as....I've always had Excel.  I guess you can right click and choose what program to open it with "Open With..."

    DeGen, I'm finally getting the hang of making a spreadsheet.  I've been  ripping through some of your old ones to make my own.  I was able to figure out how to pull data from TeamRankings.com and kinda make formulas to get me the stats I want.  I doubt I'll ever get to the point where I'll see a system, sit down and make a spreadsheet for it in a hour, (or at all) but at least I make one for my needs.

    Congratulations for this post very useful and very well done these files, I wanted to use against the Run estimator and I came across a bug after you click on the "Update Lineup" button.un pop up appeared indicating me an error in the macro in the progression of the update (stop 47/48)

    once the page vb open I fell over.so if someone could look and tell me what to do to rectify the program or simply update all the file (I use Excel 2010) it would be nice.

    Hi Degen,
    Ive downloaded some of your sheets and they are awesome. sorry but im not savvy at all with this stuff and liked the fact that it seemed to be automated. I tried to update them and get a message that says:

    compile error
    method or data member not found

    and then:

    cant execute in break mode

    Can you please give some direction? Thanks

    Which spreadsheet?  The spreadsheets import (scrape) data from various websites - if the website changes - it tends to cause the spreadsheet to be modified.  I don't keep them up to date - but if there is a simplel fix for one of them I can take a look

    H DEGENi, I tried using the system "Streak Finder" you posted, but unfortunately after updating (with my connection speed is disgusting) I throw no value in O / U and not in the bet area. I just made the friend request to exchange emails and see if I can help with that. I downloaded all systems q you published and none seems to work well after update. Must be some way I'm doing it incorrectly ... Please HELP!

    I'm back in the game and have a 'pure' MLB RPI system sheet ready to go.  Will make it available closer to May 1.

    I'm back in the game and have a 'pure' MLB RPI system sheet ready to go.  Will make it available closer to May 1.

    Looking forward to it!

    I am needing help in excel. I am tracking records of multiple systems and I want to add the records up. Currently my formula is =left(B1,1)+left(B2,3) etc. With the records changing from say 9-0 to 10-0 it messes up the formula and I have to change the number of characters from 1 to 2. Is there an easier formula I can use for this. For instance: left(B1,everything left of "-")
