New Covers Beta Project: The Stats Engine begins Tuesday, July 24th

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the suggestions. We'll look into

• Making Run Lines available
• Sum of results for Right handers and left handers
• Pushes being treated as unders
• Blank appearing for the RH/LH pitchers field for certain dates.

Thanks again,

Mr_C

I would like recommending having a search for:

After playing team b the day before, team a is 1-3.

for example:

Boston playing the day after playing the yankees is 1-3.

Hi JohnBoy224,

We will investigate adding this option to the Stats Engine.

To confirm are you looking at what happens in a game of a series?

Boston vs. Yankees Game 1 (result in the first game of a series)
Boston vs. Yankees Game 2 (result in the second game of a series)
Boston vs. Yankees Game 3 (result in the third game of a series)
Boston vs. Yankees Game 4 (result in the fourth game of a series)

Boston is 10-1 in Game 1 of a series vs. the Yankees
Boston is 4-7 in Game 2 of a series vs. the Yankees
Boston is 2-9 in Game 3 of a series vs. the Yankees
Boston is 11-0 in Game 4 of a series vs. the Yankees.

Thanks,
Mr_C

Sorry i was kind of unclear in my post.

Boston is X-X in Game 1 of a series after playing the yankees in the previous series.

Like tonight when boston plays toronto. Boston is 1-3 in game 1 of a series after playing the yankees in the previous series.

but damn, boston is 11-0 in game 4 of a series vs the yankees?

covers,

definitely a "must provide." I imagine there's a lot of handicappers out there (including myself) who would save a lot of time inputting stuff.

However, I think you should provide much more info if you plan to charge for this:

For baseball, you need to provide info on an inning basis - so that pitchers can be compared versus the innings actually played, and so that teams' strength can be weighed on an inning basis. We need to know who pitched which inning. Sportsline has some interesting free stats available under "winning edge," but having this info readily available for multiple teams/scenarios would be very beneficial, because I just don't have the time to be clicking from one page to the next, one link to the next etc...

For NBA stats, each quarter needs to be reflected. Injured players for the evening would be useful too.

I'm buying if I like the level and amount of data provided.

Cheers

Hi JohnBoy224,

We know exactly what you're talking about now. We'll look into adding this option.

Thanks,
Mr_C

Hi Autumn,

That is fantastic feedback. We plan on adding more pitching and inning by inning stats in the future.

We're looking at a quarter by quarter breakdown for football and basketball too.

Thank you,
Mr_C

Hey Infinitepicks,

The Dallas Cowboys did not appear in the list of teams because they did not play during the date range that appeared in Step 2.

If you change the date range to a longer period of time in Step 2, you will see that the Dallas Cowboys appear.

Hi, thanks for this - great idea and I will try using it.  However I did do one quick test and it returned an error.  I looked at first half points for and against for Baltimore Ravens, for the season so far.  I also did it for Buffalo.

It compiled them fine, but says the average scores are twice what they should be.   For instance -- for Buffalo it says they average 14 pts in the first half, but when you add the scores and divide by 8 games it should = 7.  Baltimore was also twice what it should be -- said 20.57 when it should be half that.  Same thing with first-half against -- should be half that.

Maybe it is trying to estimate the full game score?  But that's not what we look at first half stats for - we want to see how they do in one half only.

Hi Danstyk,

Thank you for spotting that error. We'll work on fixing this error.

Cheers,
Mr_C

is there going to be NBA stats put up on this engine as well?

Hi AK85,

Yes we will also be looking to launch NBA and College Basketball stats on the Stats Engine over the next few weeks.

Thank you,
Mr_C
