    Roughshod31, do you think you can start to make another YPPT method post specifically just for the NBA using Wednesday's stats? thanks

    Test Projection

                              2 PTA     PPA      3PTA    PPA    FTA     PPA

    Boston                 57.83    .962       16.95    1.065    22.93   .821  

    Cleveland            56.67     .961       19.56    1.067   26.08   .771   

    Projected Score

    Boston           92.47

    Cleveland      95.44

    Remember this is in the trial phase I need this years stats for more accurate results.

    Ther other is how often does your model say to bet an opening line but pass on a closing line.  This is showing you if your model is in agreement with the market.  This is the strongest way to predict the sccuracy of your model.  If your model isconstantly predicting the correct movement of the market it IS A WINNER. 

    Also keep in mind that almost no models do well in al situations.  Dr. Bob boasts the most famous and accurate math model on the planet (that we know of atleast). And even he admitted that his model seriously struggles on large road favorites.  This comes from some serious testing and work and if you guys are willing to do that than give up on the whole"math to give you and edge" mindet, because you wont get one. 

    I understand you were just answering their question.  this is for everyone else 



    Should it not be if you lose by 4 as a +7 dog then your action point would be +4 since if you win by 3 your action point is +10. 

    Also, what are you suppose to do with these action points?  If a team is very positive do you bet them the next game or what? And are the action points cumulative or single game?

    Action points is one of them.  Actions points is how the team did in relation to the spread.  So if the thread is +7 and the team looses by 3 your are -4 action points.  If they win by 3 you are +10 action points.  Your goal is to be as positive as possible

    Ther other is how often does your model say to bet an opening line but pass on a closing line.  This is showing you if your model is in agreement with the market.  This is the strongest way to predict the sccuracy of your model.  If your model isconstantly predicting the correct movement of the market it IS A WINNER. 

    Also keep in mind that almost no models do well in al situations.  Dr. Bob boasts the most famous and accurate math model on the planet (that we know of atleast). And even he admitted that his model seriously struggles on large road favorites.  This comes from some serious testing and work and if you guys are willing to do that than give up on the whole"math to give you and edge" mindet, because you wont get one. 

    I understand you were just answering their question.  this is for everyone else 



    Should it not be if you lose by 4 as a +7 dog then your action point would be +4 since if you win by 3 your action point is +10. 

    Also, what are you suppose to do with these action points?  If a team is very positive do you bet them the next game or what? And are the action points cumulative or single game?

    I understand where the action points come from & I dabbled with them some time ago, but imo, they cant be used to predict future events with a winning percentage worthy of your money. Maybe someone can do something new with them.

    I've picked the Baltimore/Denver stats to try and work on this formula in my own spreadsheet.

    Roughshod31 or VGPOP, any chance you have time to put a breakdown of the stats together to show which forumulas are required ?  (something like post #37 of this thread)

    If your tired of answering this, I understand, I'll do my best to figure it out.

    Hi roughshod.  

    I forgot to ask you what you were using for sos, original or team efficiency with the Sagarin team power rating/ it's schedule rating.  I noticed in your example you gave me you used the original sos and I was just curious.  The team efficiency way can get some big changes with the real bad and the real good teams.

    Hey Lou,

    I thought the SOS was just the SCHEDL number?  I may be wrong, just wondering.

    Hey recon,

    The original way was to take the schedule numbers of both teams add them together and then divide the sum by two. After, you get that number you divide each teams schedule number into the number.  Roughshod was also trying a different formula for sos so that is why I asked.  sos is a very important part of the equation and I just wanted to make sure what he thought was best.  Hope this helps.

    Hey guys, I think I finally have the spreadsheet, but my number is off for Ind and SF, I used them as an example.  I have...

    IND 31    SF 14

    Can anyone verify these numbers for me and who is willing to verify my spreadsheet.  Especially anyone that knows this system, please tell me if I have this correct.  I have a spreadsheet ready to be sent.  PM me if you want to check it out.

    Is this thread going to split the college games from the pro? I've read the blog last night, impressive.

    I'm interested in learning the system and hope to contribute. After I read the thread again I will try to do a few games then ask questions. Not here for a free ride.

Also, when I started to post predictions, I counted those games, not Roughshod31's predictions, since he kept adjusting the system, adding HCA and other factors. (No disrespect to the him)

    NFL:
    18 wins - 6 losses - 1 PUSH (75%)


    NCAAF:
    24 wins - 15 losses - 1 PUSH (61.5%)


    TOTAL:
    42 wins - 21 losses - 2 PUSH (66.7%)
