I think I could make more keeping it to myself :wink:

Bascailly it just identifies trends, throws them together and produces a score. To give you an idea of how much work it takes to put together a database, I need results against the spread for 2-3 seasons, scorelines for 3 seasons and as many results as possible for important stats in games (eg turnovers, rucks&mauls, linebreaks etc for Super 12, I'll also need things like tries per match etc). That all has to be copied into nearly 90 different categories (more for american sports). Although in excel this doesn't take nearly as long as it sounds.

God bless excel :wink: it's amazing what you can do with it.

Not sure it's worth spending this much time on it though. I doubt it'd do better than 65% at even money, and the packages here probally perform close to that (with what are probally considerably less complex adn time consuming systems). An extra few % won't justify the amount of time I'd be putting into it. None of this even guarantees it's profitable.

The system itself isn't complicated, just the entering and sorting of all the data.

The other option is to finish off the relatively simple NRL system I was developing yesterday, and if it tests well just use that.
