    Thanks again Thinker.......don't give up on the NFL plays just yet, I took both GreeBay and the NY football Giants and cashed both as you know.

    Also you picked Pitt and Tbay,they won but lost a close cover.

    Power Ratings Program: 116-109 (+$877)

    TOP plays: 14-13 (+$376)

     

    here are the plays for tuesday

    226. Fla (+1.35) $35 to win $47

    227. Buffalo (+1.10) $35 to win $39

     

    for those following only the Power Ratings Program, that is a complete card for tuesday.

    here are the TOP plays for tuesday.

    Miami +1 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

    Phoenix +7.5 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

     

     

    couple of notes: its going to be very stromy here today.. i may lose power and be offline for some time today... those with my email can give me a holler if they need me...

    i have decided to play every NBA game that my program selects for $100... i will do this for 2 weeks and then we can have a discussion. i have several people tracking the nba, to determine the best way for us to play this... a $100 bet for me currently is what you may call a 1% bet... everyone can decide for themselves what to do with the nba plays.... we will have a meeting on nov 8th and discuss things...  i did reduce to phx bet from $200 to $100, just want to note that... the nba plays will not be part of the Power Ratings Program for at least 2 weeks, i will list all the plays under the heading of TOP plays... i really cant make it any simplier than that.....

    no additions today of any kind..

    update for wednesday oct 27

    Beginning Balance on sept 5 2010: $1000

    Current Balance on oct 27 2010: $1807

     

    Power Ratings Program: 116-111 (+$807)

    for those following only the Power Ratings Program, which is the main theme in this thread. here are your plays for wednesday oct 27.

    228. Atlanta Thrashers (+1.30) $35 to win $46

    229. LA Kings (+1.35) $35 to win $47

    there will be no play on game 1 of the world series, slight lean to texas, just as line indicates...... another thing the 2 NHL lines came from the greek, which had a better line than pinnacle on those at 7:40 am cst this morning...

    for those following only the Power Ratings Program, read no further..

     

     

    TOP plays: 14-15 (+$156)

    here are the NBA plays to track for wednesday oct 27

    Det +4 (-1.10) betjam

    Det  (+1.50) ML

    Mil +3 (-1.10)

    Milwaukee (+1.40) ML

    Atlanta +3 (-1.10)

    Atlanta (+1.30) ML

    Sacremento +4 (-1.10)

    Sacrement (+1.50) ML

     

    for those tracking the nba, those are the 4 plays that the program selected today.... there will be no additions, those are the numbers that im using for tracking purposes...

    gator here is the record coming into today.. for tracking..

    ATS: 0-2 (-2.20 units)

    ML: 0-1 (-1.00 units)

     

    the moneyline tracking is far more important for me to know, because thats what would fit into the program...

    ill post what im playing for the TOP play or plays in a few minutes, i want to look into a few more things... the first 2 weeks are very much a "feeling out process"....

    ok here is the dilema for me today.... the TOP play out of the 4 listed is Atlanta +3.............. but there is a slightly stronger play, using a favorite tonight and that is Portland -2.5......... i didnt list portland for the tracking because of the fact that they are a favorite but according to the program they are the strongest play, laying the fewest points..

    we have enough info for the tracking and we have the Power Ratings Program posted, so im going to think about what im going to wager tonight, ill post it later, it will come from the Program plays and it will be listed as a TOP play....

    back later..

    here is what i decided to do today...

    Detroit +4 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

    Milwaukee +3 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

    Atlanta +3 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

    Sacremento +4 (-1.10) $110 to win $100

     

    one thing is for sure, those lines will move before tonight, that could be good or bad........ i cant sit around all day and wait to post the plays, so i have to go with the lines posted above.. its usally a good idea to wait on the dogs until later in the day...

    all i can say is, thats what i did... you must decide for yourself what to play and for how much..

    It's likely this doesn't make sense for reasons I'm not awares of. But in regards to playing dogs with points, given your system, would one possibility be to increase the wager slightly per point of spread?

    For instance, for each .5 point you increase the unit by .10. Five point dogs and it's a two-unit bet. (Arbitrary numbers)

    Just a suggestion, thought of it yesterday, if I understand the problem correctly than maybe it's a possibility going forward.

    IMHO, this is still the best idea in this thread, bar none.

    Not sure if we can get better either..

    still kicking around how i want to ultimately play the nba... if i had used the nba in the program, the first 2 nights... the record would be (2-3) (-0.20 units) ...... losing phx on opening night and losing det and mil tonight... while winning (atl +1.30) and (sac +1.50)...

    looks like a nice little night for me, going 3-1 on the TOP plays and splitting our 2 nhl program dogs..

     

    ill update everything thursday morning..

    Sacremento +4 (-1.10) $110 to win $100





    I played these four using Jokeheads ATS/ML split method. Cashed five of eight bets for a gain of almost 1.5 units.  I really thought Detroit was going to cover the ML until the last minute of the game.

    I think this worked pretty well for a first attempt.

    Jokeheads method would work best when you have a +ML though, wouldn't it?

    Does it make sense to use that method when it's a -ML ?

    i believe so, most of this picks are dogs anyway so the ML would be plus money also. the four picks dufresne tracked were all plus money.

    ridibets, PM whenever you like..

    guys, feel free to play or discuss the program plays anyway you wish... ultimately we all must decide for ourselves.. im just a guy like everyone else, thats showing you a computer program that ive created. i think that i can turn 1k into 100k in 36 months and this thread is about proving that... lets not lose sight of my objective..

     

    Update for thursday oct 28

     

    Beginning Balance on sept 5 2010: $1000

    Current Balance on oct 28 2010: $1818

     

    Power Ratings ProgramL 117-112 (+$818)

     

    breakdown:

    MLB: 73-73 (+$405)

    NHL: 31-20 (+$517)

    NBA: 0-0 ($0)

    NFL: 11-15 (-$94)

    CFB: 2-4 (-$10)

     

    here are the program plays for thursday oct 28

    230. Texas (+1.15) $35 to win $40 (wilson/cain)

    231. Tor Leafs (+1.55) $35 to win $54

    232. Stl Blues (+1.10) $35 to win $39

    233. LA Kings (+1.15) $35 to win $40

    234. Col Av's (+1.50) $35 to win $53

     

    for those following only the Program plays, that is a complete card for thursday. there are no NBA plasys that would qualify today.

     

    TOP plays: 17-16 (+$346)

    there are no TOP plays for thursday oct 28

     

     

    here are a few of my notes for thursday oct 28:

    there are 2 NBA games tonight, neither qualify as a play for the Program whatsover... so its a night off from the nba.

    here are the results that i have from tracking the first 2 nights of the nba season (and this may be the last time that i post these results), someone else can handle that.

    Tracking:

    ATS: 4-4 (-0.40 units)

    ML 2-3 (-0.20 units)

    so we basically have a wash so far....

    as i stated above, we must all decide how to play the plays for ourselves. tomorrow night im going to put the nba plays into the main Program... I will probably be risking only $10 per play for a few nights, unlike the plays for hockey and baseball where im up to risking $35... so ill start small and see what happens... my thread project is running about 2.5 months ahead of schedule and i can afford to do this...  i also thinks its far less risky for me doing this,,,,, than it is to bet $100 on each play....

    you decide for yourself what to do... im leaning in that direction, mainly because it sticks strictly with the computer program that ive created.... i will still play the stronger choices as TOP plays..

    again, you decide for yourself what to do... im just a regular guy, dont lose sight of that..

    230. Texas (+1.15) $35 to win $40 (wilson/cain)

    for those following only the Program plays, that is a complete card for thursday. there are no NBA plasys that would qualify today.

     

    TOP plays: 17-16 (+$346)

    there are no TOP plays for thursday oct 28

     

     

    here are a few of my notes for thursday oct 28:

    there are 2 NBA games tonight, neither qualify as a play for the Program whatsover... so its a night off from the nba.

    here are the results that i have from tracking the first 2 nights of the nba season (and this may be the last time that i post these results), someone else can handle that.

    Tracking:

    ATS: 4-4 (-0.40 units)

    ML 2-3 (-0.20 units)

    so we basically have a wash so far....

    as i stated above, we must all decide how to play the plays for ourselves. tomorrow night im going to put the nba plays into the main Program... I will probably be risking only $10 per play for a few nights, unlike the plays for hockey and baseball where im up to risking $35... so ill start small and see what happens... my thread project is running about 2.5 months ahead of schedule and i can afford to do this...  i also thinks its far less risky for me doing this,,,,, than it is to bet $100 on each play....

    you decide for yourself what to do... im leaning in that direction, mainly because it sticks strictly with the computer program that ive created.... i will still play the stronger choices as TOP plays..

    again, you decide for yourself what to do... im just a regular guy, dont lose sight of that..

    If ATS hits (at -110) and .476 doesn't, you'll split for the day. If both lose, you lose 1 unit. But if both hit, your profit is substantially higher. (.5*x + [ML odds]*x*.476)...or 1.5-2 units usually.

    Thinker, what's your opinion on this for system underdogs?

    I see it being highly profitable
