Powerful Trends Engine
Every handicapper knows that the trend is their friend. Need information about a specific team? Just ask WinPicks to analyze the team's performance. You can go back just a few games or all the way back to the 1990-91 NBA season! You'll see how the team has fared in a variety of situations, including home and away games, conference and non-conference games, games after a win or loss, playoff games, or games against any selected opponent. You can also analyze a team's performance against the point spread. Want to know how Miami has done against the spread as a home underdog? As a road favorite? Against good teams and bad teams? After winning by 7 or more points? After 3 consecutive losses? After 5 consecutive victories? If you can think of an angle, ANY ANGLE, WinPicks can check it out for you. No other product gives you the answers faster or easier than WinPicks. You can also use the powerful Situation Analysis feature to instantly see all of the trends that could influence a specific game.
Of course, one of the problems with trends is that by the time you find them, it's sometimes too late to take advantage. WinPicks solves that problem with the amazing Trend Watch feature, which goes one step beyond all available trend engines by searching through multiple combinations of game conditions to find significant trend patterns in the database. It quickly searches though literally millions of possible trends, and extracts only those that are statistically significant. Because Trend Watch does an exhaustive search of all available data, it uncovers information that only WinPicks users have. You can't get information like this anywhere else, no matter how much you are willing to pay. And best of all, Trend Watch alerts you when the trends it finds are relevant to games yet to be played. If you have favorite trends that you want to follow day after day, you can save them using the powerful My Trends feature.
The flexibility of WinPicks is unmatched by any other software package. For example, you can look at power ratings over any interval ranging from 3 games to more than one season. You can instantly see which teams have played the toughest schedules. You can also look at trends pertaining to the whole NBA, like how often home teams cover in conference games, or how often home teams cover in all games. All data can be printed out using a powerful report generator that produces professional looking, business quality reports.
Powerful Handicapper
WinPicks is a terrific handicapper. It predicts the winner (straight-up and against the point spread) and estimates the point total for every game. You can create your own prediction formulas and have WinPicks check their results. You can then fine tune them for maximum accuracy. Three formulas are included that soundly beat the spread last season.
All formulas are based on a unique prediction engine that emphasizes strength of schedule, margin of victory, and how well NBA teams play at home and on the road, and how their performance varies over the course of a homestand or road trip. The result: against the spread accuracy that no other NBA handicapper can touch.
If you need to tune up a formula, the incredible Formula Tuner uses a Monte Carlo technique that randomly varies the numbers, testing the results along the way. When a finds a better result, it remembers the new formula values, and continues to run with new random variations. The tuner runs continuously under your control, letting you tune a formula for a few minutes or overnight. The longer the Formula Tuner runs, the more likely the results will improve. In other words, the Formula Tuner can start with any formula, and in nearly all cases produce a better one. You can tune formulas to produce against the spread winners, against the totals winners, or straight-up winners. Some of the results we have seen are absolutely phenomenal. Formulas that formerly lost units have been tuned until they now produce more than 100 net units in a single season!
NightShift enhances the Formula Tuner by letting it run until you get the results you desire. NightShift is like a tireless worker who will tweak your formulas as long as you'd like, always squeezing out a higher winning percentage and more net units. It tunes as many formulas as you want for as long as you want. If you pay a sports service, it's time to stop throwing your money away. NightShift works for free and puts every tout's record to shame.
To use NightShift, just tell it how long you'd like to work on a formula. You can specify the number of tries or the number of minutes that you want the tuner to run, or you can even tell NightShift to run until the formula is up a given number of net units. You don't have to be around while NightShift works its magic. Leave NightShift running when you go to bed and wake up the next morning with a formula that will blow your bookie's mind.
