Trying So Hard... and I seem to fail on college basketball...
I am running two systems simultaneously trying to find and edge...
One system produces a significant more bets... specifically under bets. Over the past two seasons it produced close to 700 under bets at a hit ratio of 59%+ rate. That doesn't take into account OT because I don't model it that way. So I figure I might lose 1-2% because of that but I would still be north of 57%.
So I checked to see how my entire system was doing since Feb 1st. It hit 53.3%. The under bets were 47.5% and that doesn't account for any games that went into OT.
If I use my second model... I hit 62% but it didn't bet many games. It wouldn't have picked any games yesterday. I am not just trying to chase the numbers.
I am trying to create a model that diversifies risk... produces enough bets... and delivers results. I can't tell if I am close or so far away that it isn't worth talking about.
Just Venting... I am snowed in and really want this model to work.
