Geek confession: About 12 years ago I participated in a weekly NFL pool. Pick all the games in the week and the cumulative winner at the end of the season won a ton. I was tired of sucking at it year after year, so I wrote a simple program to pick the winners of each game. I input the teams (home and away) and the point spreads and used a randomizer to predict scores. I was in 1st place by a decent margin after the first half of the season. In the second half I regressed to the mean, but I still did better randomly picking winners than picking them myself. /geekconfessionVerdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-65986013986377830432009-06-01T10:39:16.682-04:002009-06-01T10:39:16.682-04:00I barely have time to read blogs and write in my o...I barely have time to read blogs and write in my own blog... let alone play trivia!
