update for wednesday dec 22
seriously guys, you should all know that i was close to something with the long running computer program thread... Baseball did very well and actually the nba has been good also.. Problems arose with the NHL that i cannot explain. It came as a surprise to me and was the downfall of the project.
But the page turns and 2 revisions were made to the original program. These revisions will allow me to "get off" some games in which the situation does not bode well for us and will allow us to play a few favorites along the way. There is absolutely no reason why we should not play favorites as well. I never did like a totally one sided program.
Hopefully as this thread progresses, i cannot regain some trust and contribute here in 2011. I think i deserve the chance..

Computer Program Plays: 3-2 (+$260) revised edition
first off lets take a quick look at yesterday. the program went (4-1) (+3.60 units) playing every game in the nba yesterday. losing only on the Memphis Grizzlies and passing on the bucks/lakers game. The TOP play came thru with the OKC Thunder rolling the Bobcats in the 4th quarter.. Dallas was a nice winner that most of the general public happened to be on... The revision cost me a winner with GST but i can live with it.... The NHL didnt fare quite as well, going (4-3)(+0.30 units).... Losing on atl, col and anaheim. the revisions made kept me off anaheim... big favorites wash, clb and sj all won but could not be played due to excessive juice..
call that my daily ramble...
moving on to wednesdays card...
6. Vancouver (+1.25) $200 to win $250 (this is a play under both the old and new program). Program actually has this a coin flip, the (+1.25) payback makes it a play... would you flip a coin if you won $12.50 and only lost $10...
7. Nashville (+1.40) $200 to win $280... (this is actually a much stronger play than vancouver but ill go with a base $200 bet) and hope to split the two at worse...
take those 2 nhl plays with a grain of salt, as things havent worked out so well for us there as of late... the other 2 games, the program was solidly behind the favorite but due to the excessive juice being laid, both were made NO PLAYS...
8. Utah -6 (-1.10) $220 to win $200...(rated the strongest of our 4 plays for today, so this one gets recorded as TOP play today).. Not quite as strong as OKC yesterday but should be considered the TOP play today, for what we are playing...
9. Houston Rockets (+1.05) ML $200 to win $210... this is a solid program choice, much like the predators in the NHL.. houston would be a play under the old and new format...
as for the remainder of the nba.. here is what the program has to say..
Toronto -6: would be the slight choice but only very slightly. no way we would lay (-6) here... Program says toronto, so we cannot go detroit.. consider this a very easy PASS.
Chicago -3: would definately be a play at (-3) but the program has a filter for B2B situations and this one does qualify... we expect chicago to win but cannot play them, so we PASS here as well.
Atlanta -10: easily the choice here but i do not lay double digits in the nba, so we PASS here as well...
Boston -10: probably the strongest play on the board, along with the hornets but once again, the line is nearing double digits and we PASS...
OKC +1: the Thunder at (+ money) is a play tonight under the old format but the B2B filter is keeping us off them. The program anticipates another road win for the thunder but we have to PASS.
Hornets -8.5: very strong choice tonight, probably my favorite on the board but the big line keeps it from being a play (PASS again)..
Spurs -7: this was almost the 5th play tonight but once again, we choose not to lay the points, so PASS here as well..
there is just a brief little rundown for tonight.... as you can see, the nba was mostly favorites but i have a cutoff in at about 6.5pts...
