Hi RobertBIrish,

I have been following your computer plays and they look great. I am also a big computer guy. Was wondering if it would be at all possible for me to get a copy of the program to check it out. I have a couple of programs I am trying to perfect also. The help would be greatly appreciated. If you want get my email from MadJack. Thanks

I would like to see the football and the basketball. Thanks.

 

[RobertBIrish]

Well hope you don't get mad because it is nothing personal but I have a whole lot of money tied up in it and I am going to keep it to myself I have the only copies and I am going to keep it that way if you have any questions about it I would be very glad to answer what I can.

I've watched your success with the computer football picks. Great job! I have a question. When it spits out the picks, are you placing every single one, or are you narrowing it down to fewer plays? Basketball is my stronger area, so I will have more to say in this forum than football, where I am much more of a reader than a poster. Since you are obviously killing them so far this season I justed wanted to see if you made any analysis beyond what the computer picks. Thanks. I'll be checking out your progress, and good luck!

Well I actually cap the games myself and I conflict with it often what I do then is pass on that game and I play the games we agree on. It has worked out well so far it has actually pulled me off a few games I would have otherwise played and lost on.

 

[TEXAS]

Here are my initial thoughts after a brief and limited handicap. But I will not play all of these. More than likely, I will narrow them to a maximum of 4 plays.

501 Boston -2 against Cleveland

507 Toronto +4 against Orlando

507 Toronto/Orlando over 195.5

513 Atlanta/Houston over 191

514 Houston -4.5 against Atlanta

517 Denver +10.5 against Phoenix

519 Milwaukee +3.5 against Utah

524 Lakers -7 against Portland

I think Houston and Boston are particularly strong plays, but take that with a grain of salt, as this is the 1st game of the season.

I guess for the first game the program makes predictions from last years data!!!!

I am using WinPics and I am getting strong picks on Knicks -5 Toronto +4 and Rockets-5
Good luck

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

gonna be looking closely at these results...

 

[theGibber1]

this program is UNREAL with football!!!! do you expect the same results w/ NBA?

The reason i ask is that it seems w/ the NBA emmotion plays a big part. they play so many damn games, that it seems most teams only give 100 % about 60% of the time.

while im at it, id like to tell you what a fantastic job youve been doing lately!!!

keep up the great work!
thanks

 

[RobertBIrish]

Well I always expect the best LOL. i use the program as follows I run the numbers then start eliminating down the line injuries,motivation so on so forth I don't follow it blindly but it looks like you could on the NFL program LOL. Like I said let's see what it brings about!

ROBERT B IRISH
I TOO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR COMPUTER PICKS. I KNEW I WANTED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH YOU, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE TIME WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS.
I TOO AM DEVELOPING SOFTWARE. YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE FURTHER ALONG THAN I. I HAVE NCAA FOOTBALL PICKS, BUT IT'S NOT QUITE TO MY LIKING AT THIS TIME (41-29 FOR THE YEAR),
I AM NOT PLEASED WITH 58%. I THINK I'M 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM COMPLETING MY NFL PROGRAM, AND MY NEXT PROJECT WILL BE COLLEGE HOOPS.
IT AMAZES ME THAT JORDAN 23 WOULD EVEN ASK FOR A COPY OF YOUR PROGRAM. IF HE'S A COMPUTER GUY, AS HE CLAIMS TO BE, THEN HE REALIZES, IN MY CASE, THE THOUSANDS OF MAN HOURS (3YRS) TO DEVELOP SOFTWARE THAT MAKES YOU MONEY.
IN TIME, I HOPE WE'RE ABLE TO SHARE IDEA'S ABOUT ALGORYTHMS, AND OTHER THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR POSTS.

 

[RobertBIrish]

Sides are not doing hot but I expected as much until we get a week of this seasons stats in but totals are doing okay.

 

[RobertBIrish]

Not bad for the first round I expected about this much really need about a week, week and a half to get stats for this year to get sides on track but totals get out of the gate great.

Sides 3-6-1

Totals 5-1

Combined 8-7-1

 

[TEXAS]

I can't believe you guys. I leave the forum for a few months, come back with a first night outing 6-2 record, and no one even notices. My feelings are hurt.

 

[Z-MAN]

Good job Tex!

Keep em coming buddy!

 

[TEXAS]

Just like I tell my wife. I'm a lot nicer of a person when I'm appreciated. Unfortunately, she still can't comprehend what I'm saying. LOL

Working on tonights games right now. Sure would be nice to come out of the gate with a couple winning days in a row.

 

[Sick Dog]

Good job Tex but in your post you said I will narrow them down but you never did.
