This year every now and then when I like a certain play but I'm on the fence about pullling the trigger on a larger play, I revert back to the PS2. This year believe it or not I'm 2-0 (Troy, & Bama) when using this so far this year. This is how it works.
1st.. I do my normal handicapping and find a game or two stands out, and I'm going to play.
2nd ... setup up the PS2 (gameday 2005) with very simular settings. (Weather, records, injuries, etc) for the game I want to play.
3rd...play best of anywhere from 3 to 10 games. and record the outcome.
Finally...compare the results vs. the spread to determine if it will be a bigger play or not.
Before I go any further. Let me say I don't use this all the time. Just when I have time to kill and really can't decide if I want to play an above average play on a game or not. Just thought this might be of some interest to someone.
All that said, I really liked BC tonight. Noticed the line moving in my favor so I started thinking of making an above average play. So I reverted back to the Ol' PS2. Below are the results:
Game #1 BC 35 Uconn 7
Game #2 BC 41 Uconn 10
Game #3 BC 39 Uconn 21
Game #4 BC 29 Uconn 21
Game #5 BC 34 Uconn 20
As you can see, BC cover easily 100% of the time. This is only about the 5th game I've used this on but so far this is the only game where the spread was covered 100% of the time. :shrug:
So with my handicapping, the line movement, and the PS2 results!
3* play on BC -6'(bought hook)
