I will be posting all systems here this year and tracking them all. every week pops up way too many (20+) to actually play them but i would never blindly play them anyway.
Last year I designated each play 1-5 stars or "other" for team-specific or week-specific stuff. While every category ended >.500 record I will put an asterisk next to the 5-star and "other" plays. Those 5-stars went 25-16 and others went 31-19-1 last year. These probably won't show up until at least week 2, maybe 3, but I will highlight them appropriately
1) I am posting these merely to give you a technical approach to your own capping
2) Feel free to throw ideas around of different queries to run, within reason. Happy to run them for you
3) Keep in mind the NCAAF database is not as robust as NFL, MLB, NBA so I am limited by the stats they load into the dbase. An overview of these parameters is available at http://sportsdatabase.com/ncaafb/query
4) If you see stuff at places like Marc Lawrence, statfox, etc I can usually run them without any problems but never will get their exact ATS or O/U number but usually fairly close. This is for two reasons...1) their systems might include a parameter that isn't available to query at the dbase or 2) they have been known to fudge their numbers a bit to try to get the "perfect" system as a 24-0 ATS headline sells more issues than the 27-6 ATS reality.
5) In my opinion more recent success is more important than what happened in 1995 because of how the rules and game has changed so I constantly work, and rework, systems to make them more modern but try to not "back fit" for the sake of making it look good.
6) Any questions during the season, please ask, but just remember I am devoting my time doing this for you, not for me, so don't be a complete fn asshole. I run these every week myself and CHOOSE to provide the info so you have an additional resource in your own capping.
7) I taught myself the SDQL language but am not an expert like Joe Meyer or some of the guys that are part of sportsdatabase. That being said if you are trying to become familiar with the querying I'm here to answer your questions but please don't ask the most basic of things like "how do I designate a team as playing at home". sportsdatabase and killersports has plenty of material available for the true beginning coder and I'm not that guy
Looking forward to the season...hopefully folks that stop by this thread each week find something useful. It's simply a different way of looking at things and SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS A RESOURCE to add in with your own capping.
Good Luck in 2016!
