lul... Doofus City... well you finally understand who accountinquestion is or at least you finally posted about it!See. this is what I mean about people not knowing what they're talking about. As in not knowing what they are talking about AT ALL.Why would they give away their picks?
Why would anyone share proprietary information? It would be beyond idiotic to do that.
One of the issues with competing in public contests is that people will run your plays through every algorithm imaginable to discover what it is you are doing and what subsets at which you are most effective. You will be data mined up, down, and sideways. This has been going on since the "70's, when a wealthy person would subscribe to dozens of handicapping services, then re-sell those picks as a "Consensus Service" that enabled clients to pick and choose whose plays they wanted. In the meantime, the Consensus Service owner would data mine all of the plays, including checking correlations between services for effectiveness.
When Billy Walters assembled roundtables of experts in individual sports (late 1990's and onward), he would have access to individual savants and data mine their plays while basically setting them up to compete with each other, while (of course) doing his best to not have them working with each other without his oversight.
Why would anyone who actually wins tell you how they are actually winning? Are sports handicappers supposed to be mentally challenged as opposed to most "APs?"
It's such a bizarre request, Axelwolf. What the hell are you thinking? Or do you believe people are just brain dead in general? I mean, can you imagine someone publicly asking you to lay out the specifics of what you are doing? LOL. What would your response be?
Maybe they are successful people who can win at sports betting without it being important to them or even any sort of significant income. Maybe it is more for funnsies.
The beyond idiotic portion comes from not understanding this. The person who can't understand this simple concept is the mentally challenged one.
I lol at this idea people reverse engineering contest picks. If they're running these picks under every algorithm available I'd have to wonder why they don't just use that on the ACTUAL games. You'd find far better correlations than trying to reverse engineer someone's picks without even knowing what stats they use. Doubtful you'd have anywhere near enough data but I won't bother asking why because I know the answer.
<crickets>
Obviously, genius, people HAVE BEEN data mining actual results for decades. Pull up a Playbook magazine from 1990. I mean, holy hell, do some research or work or something. Learn to read. Holy fucking christ. You've had multi-millionaires running every imaginable data mining program on results forever. And not just from the good old USA. Half the Playbook staff was running these programs for 30 years.
If you don't know this, why would you even comment at all? It's doofus city with you and sports betting.
Jesus, you are out of your depth. It's okay to be out of your depth. But you don't acknowledge you're out of your depth. It is truly un-fucking-believable what you don't know.
I'm not onboard nor do I condone your use of Holy F--- C Word... not nice, not nice at all.
Thou Shalt Not Take the Lord's Name in Vain and you did it twice in this post.
Pray for forgiveness!
