Went old school today. Tried using the not ready for prime time system yesterday and in a rush I put the wrong totals in. Prediction scores were what they should of been etc...Hopefully I'll have this beast conquered shortly. Until then the old way:

I went the "didn't get home in time to put the games in, so am stuck, again, with whatever the hell the program assigned" method.

So I now have the new automated score working (mostly), azure has some issues but the functions in SQL all work and display correctly. Which has been monumental process to tackle for me as I have zero sql experience. However, because I had to change the formula up a bit for not wanting to webscrape any longer and use APIs. One of the things in the new model formula (i.e. where the confidence score comes from for the original model) is not available via API, so I had to develop my own version to replace it so it changed the new model methadology slightly. I will display that outcome in a seperate post along with a new feature I worked on as well.

The new model has the scores:
Texas Tech: 75.9
Florida: 82.5
Total: 158.3

Alabama: 82.3
Duke: 86.3
Total: 168.6

Took the under at 157. I was happy to see those free throws go in and lose the money.

I took TT and Alabama on the spread. I knew better than to take Alabama, they shot some stupid 50+ from the floor and 3s the other night. But I did it anyway. So went 1-1.
