Back To Stats Class

Light day yesterday. Donated to Kaiseroll13, like he needs it. Tony Parker's very pedestrian game (8 points, 7 assists) was the dagger.

Monday results: 1 contest entered (HU); 0 cashes; total risked: $5.50; total won: $0; net ($5.50); ROI -100%

I'm busy working on a numbers-intensive post but am finding it slow going. The biggest roadblock is my rustiness with statistics. It's been a few years since I've done anything much more complicated than finding an average. That's why everything to date has really dealt with heads up contests - the math is easy. When you get into 6 and 10 player contests, it becomes harder. Fortunately I think I have an old B-school stats textbook down in the basement and I can probably get this figured out.

Now if only I could figure out basketball. That's four losing days in a row and it needs to stop.
