The next three days could be the last postings until the playoffs begin. Now with 2 out of 5 red-flags waving, the model is trending toward unreliable. Too many starters/key players sitting at tip off or playing reduced minutes, makes a monkey out of an algorithm which is based on past team and player performance. This usually happens several weeks after the all-star break, so the fact it’s happening earlier in the season is a severe disappointment. I’ll be trying, these next three days to post as close to tipoff as I can, to see if there’s a marked improvement, at least in SU performance, but with the number of GTDs skyrocketing I doubt it. Also, finding and downloading closing lines which are a reliable consensus of Vegas sportsbooks, has been nearly impossible, so I’ve been doing it manually, and I just don’t trust my aged eyesight and wobbly fingers to do it accurately. Labor intensive and time-consuming, I’d rather be just watching the games. Not that the ATS record is a worthwhile measure anyway, but it should be a reliable indicator of the model’s product. So – stand by and GLTA
