I've noticed that some of us here at MadJack's have grown frustrated with the inability to consistently pick winners.
I must say it is not easy, especially when you have teams like the Yankeees, Twins (most recently) and a few others than continue to screw us day in and day out.
I created a ratings system that looks at various factors such as: starting pitchers, bullpens, record vs. opposition, win/loss streaks, umpires, etc... This system spits out a number, similar to a power ranking, for each team and based on these numbers I make my decision on which plays to make.
I will say that I am hitting over 65% of my plays this season and as you can see 68% of my plays for the Play of the Day contest.
My Play of the Day is simply the game that gives me the largest margin between my "power rankings."
I hope this helps you in your daily winnings. I am NOT posting this to give anyone the impression that I will eventually start a service. I do NOT believe in paying for picks. There is a wealth of information available to those that choose to spend the time to research. I am simply looking to contribute and hopefully make everyone a little more money.
I will begin posting my daily plays as I play them with my local book. My wagering strategy is very simple, 1 unit or 5 units. My POD is a 5 unit play and my other plays are 1 unit each.
I will refrain from posting my YTD stats since they are useless given the fact I am starting to post my plays as of today. If anyone is interested in taking a look at ALL my plays for the 2005 MLB season, you can send me an e-mail and I send you an Excel spreadsheet with a detailed list of all my plays YTD.
Good Luck to everyone!
