Predictions Thread Discussion

So I finally inputted the predictions onto an Excel sheet.

I have not looked at my results team by team because I don’t want it to influence my predictions. But I did look at yours. Do you want me to say anything or no?

I won’t give you any team names, but I can tell you trends or observations.

I don't want trends or observations right now.

I just want to know:

* What's my best day in terms of pick %?

* After the winless day, what's my 2nd worst day?

Do you want to know and post your results for those 2 items, too?

Which day did we disagree the most?

And in terms of percentage, what day did we agree the most? How many times have we agreed on all picks, and what's the next best percentage?

MHSL82 said:

I don’t know those answers yet, but we have agreed 389 times and disagreed 142 times. Not including today’s picks which I think we both agree.

Why did you have to tell me this? Now I have more questions.

What's our W/L % when we agree on individual games?

And what's each of our W/L % when we disagree on individual games?

Actually, let's save this for the end of the year. I don't want this to influence my picks.

Let's just do the other questions only, whenever you have time.

Good thing you told me that. I was going to give you that answer. But I will tell you the other questions as soon as I can.

Yes, my concern was that if I knew that when we agreed, we got a lot more games right, then I might be more likely to agree with you. Or if I knew when we agreed, that we missed a lot of games, then I would be less likely to agree with you.

Or if I knew that when we disagreed, that one of us was more right than the other, then that could influence my picks too.

However, the things I asked on a daily level, such as what the best and worst days have been, shouldn't influence anything. It's just fun to know.

Thinking about it now, I think I never want to know our %'s when we agree or disagree. Because if you do this game next year, I don't want to be influenced next year, about whether it's good to agree or not.

You could always pick first and never change your picks… But that would be too many rules.
