Current Limitations

Below is a list of the current known limitations in our model:

Last minute roster changes or injuries will not be captured by the model.
A good example is when Taylor has his lung punctured by their team doctor prior to game 2 during the 2020 season.

Season To Date Performance

Below is the overall performance of the money line predictions for the year

<table> <thead> <tr> <th style="text-align:right;"> TotalPredictions </th> <th style="text-align:right;"> TotalCorrect </th> <th style="text-align:right;"> PctCorrect </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:right;"> 208 </td> <td style="text-align:right;"> 139 </td> <td style="text-align:right;"> 0.67 </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Below is the performance of the money line predictions based on the scoring bin.

Note - The model predicts the probability of the Home Team winning, so any score before .5 would be a bet for the away team. In the table below, I normalized the bins. The .6 bin is for all .6 probabilities, either for the Home Team or Away Team. A .6 probability for the Away Team would be .4 probability for the Home Team. A .6 probability for the Home Team would be a .4 probability for the Away Team.
