12/29/12 Results

We've been stuck in neutral, just 23-22 since Christmas -- doing nothing but losing juice. We are going to scale back our picks until we have more time to focus on handicapping, as the time-crunch has clearly affected results.

12/28/12 Results

Another horrible night for sides and great night for totals. We have not had as much time as usual for qualitative assessment over the holidays, and it has clearly affected results for sides, now 4-11 the past four nights. Totals during the same four nights have gone 14-6.

Honestly, we were a bit more aggressive tonight than usual. These "aggressive" plays helped make totals even better but made sides even worse. It was a wash. The system has been effective but we feel we need to make slight changes to improve the results for sides.

Christmas '12 Results

Due to the holiday time-crunch regular plays remain on hiatus, but we are continuing the extremely successful double-plays. We had a low-volume, well-capped day of games; we expect many more double-plays tomorrow as the NBA returns to normalcy.

Totals Experiment 12/21/12

I do not recommend tailing these. This is just a little experiment I thought I'd set up and see how it works out, applying a similar V43 premise to totals now. We just feel like testing it publicly on a high-volume night.

I'm not going to clutter the @V43sports twitter account by posting 2H totals the system likes, but it is a possibility that there may be some adds.

After a couple of nights with less than exciting numbers from the system -- and results to match -- we are once again back to getting fantastic system numbers and the high volume we expect from V43. We are very excited tonight not only about our very successful double-plays, but also think tonight will see the regular plays get back on track.

To those of you new, it may seem odd to take 3Q or 4Q lines before the game even starts. I have presented the double-play splits below to help ease these concerns. The system has actually been a little stronger on these later lines, as they tend to be a little softer, but all splits have been positive. We will continue to monitor the relative success as our sample size grows.

Double-Play Splits
1Q: 6-3 (.667)
2Q: 2-1 (.667)
1H: 3-2 (.600)
3Q: 4-1-1 (.800)
4Q: 4-0 (1.000)
2H: 1-1 (.500)
Overall: 20-8-1 (.714)

Notes: Regular plays should be played for one unit. Double-plays should be played twice, or for two units. The system also caps 2H lines as well but these lines are not released until games are at halftime. If the system finds a favorable 2H line it will be posted on the V43sports twitter: @V43sports

12/20/12 Results

I told people last night was a weird night in the NBA and to not jump on the system except for the double-plays, and advised that today wasn't the best time to jump in either. With no double-plays and no "strong" plays spit out of the formulas, I knew it would be a boom or bust night. It was a bust.

We got 10 games tomorrow night and look forward to some double plays. This system has been at its best on high-volume nights. I apologize to anyone who tailed tonight; we'll be better tomorrow.

It's a low-volume night in the NBA and there are no double-plays for the first time.

Please read the "Changes in the System" post for the reasoning behind the change in format.

You will also notice that I have included +/- units for the first time. Most bettors would agree that this is a more accurate measure of success. The +/- units YTD assumes all games are bet on -110 lines with regular plays being bet for one unit and double-plays being bet for two units. I realize some lines are -105 or -115, but I have not kept track of this and will be making the assumption that these even out.

Note: The system also caps 2H lines as well but these lines are not released until games are at halftime. If the system finds a favorable 2H line it will be posted on the V43sports twitter: @V43sports

12/20/12 Changes to the System

We have decided to change the way we present the V43 system to you. The format with the two formulas and different "star" ratings within the formulas and the possibility of cross-over "double-plays" or formula disagreements was certainly confusing for someone new to the system.

After splitting the statistics every way possible and retroactively testing a third formula designed to streamline the two existing V43 formulas, we have decided to present the selections as either "plays" or "double-plays." No more formula splits or star ratings. I will still have this data to constantly monitor the success of different splits within the system.

You may be wondering how the results would look right now had this new way of selecting and presenting picks been done from the start. The third formula run retroactively would have added 35 picks the system did not previously take, going 21-14 (.600). Formula 3 also would have nullified 9 picks that went 4-5 (.444) from the system. We are not changing the way "double-plays" are selected, as their success has been the backbone of the successful V43 system.

With a sample size over 140 and an overall success rate just under 60% it may seem odd that we would now make changes to the system. We are always looking for improvement and don't see any point in waiting. "Double-plays" are currently 20-8-1 (.714). Taking these plays away, regular plays are only 43-41-1 (.512). Had formula 3 been used, this regular game record would be 60-50-1 (.545).

We are very excited about the early results but believe we can improve upon them and make the system more user-friendly for those new to it.

Thank you for your visit.

12/19/12 Results

Well, I said it was a weird day in the NBA in my earlier post and the results were not up to par tonight. First losing night for the 5-star "double-plays," and a below .500 night overall. That said, it felt like we caught some tough breaks and it was the worst night in the system's brief history at 10-12 (.455). One of the benefits to this high-volume system is that the "bad" nights are not so bad. I'm confident we will bounce back tomorrow.

12/19/12 Selections

I have to say, it's an odd night in the NBA. Lots of heavy home favorites and similar styles clashing on the hardwood tonight. Lower volume of picks than normal for V43 today, no 3- or 4-star plays, and there is a formula disagreement for the second time.

I want to note that on 12/16/12 there was also a formula disagreement. Obviously, bets should not be made on these picks since you are just throwing away juice, but I wanted to document them to keep an accurate track of each formula's success rate. However, I did not throw out this guaranteed 1-1 end result in the combined formula summary. I am doing that now, and the guaranteed result of tonight's 1-1 will also be excluded from the combined performance summary when going over the results later tonight (all four selections involved are 2-stars). I just want to clear this up since the combined formula YTD record will be different by one win and one loss from what was posted last night. I believe in being as transparent as possible with this system's results.

Again, to reiterate, the plays highlighted in yellow are conflicts and should not be played; the plays italicized and highlighted blue are 5-star or 2x plays.

Note: The system also caps 2H lines as well but these lines are not released until games are at halftime. If the system finds a favorable 2H line it will be posted on the V43sports twitter: @V43sports

The system also caps 2H lines as well but these lines are not released until games are at halftime. If the system finds a favorable 2H line it will be posted on the V43sports twitter: @V43sports

12/14/12 Results

General note about the system: We are currently monitoring the system's performance across its different levels of confidence (as indicated by number of "stars"), but at this time believe everything should be played at the same unit. The exception to this rule is when the two formulas agree on a pick -- these games should be played twice, or for two units. You can consider these "double plays" as five star confidence level.

This system's success had led to me to better its documentation. Here is what the system spit out for tonight's games and the results:
