Wanted: A Better Injury Feed

Almost a very good day. Lost a heads up contest by one point. Single digits out of the money in the 10 player contests.

I was a little surprised that Danny Granger didn't play, since I hadn't read that he was anything worse than probable. Judging from a few of the rosters, I wasn't the only one. I was lucky to win both contests where I had selected him.

Wednesday results: 6 contests entered (2 - 10 player, 1 - 6 player, 3 HU); 3 cashes (0, 1, 2); amount risked: $19.80; amount won: $26.00; net $6.20; ROI +31.3%

Only two NBA games tonight, you know what that means. I will not be risking anything of note.

I do have an idea for a fun little programming project that's been begging for a night like this. If I can remember how to manipulate arrays and actually do the coding, I think the results would be entertaining. No promises, though.

IIRC, the injury feed comes from sportsnetwork.com. It's not always up to date.

A better injury report would be like giving free info to the fishies. Not sure I want that.

Even with my own due diligence, I often get screwed on west coast games regarding "game time decisions".

I should have been more clear. I don't have a problem with the FSL injury feed - I don't expect and don't especially feel the need for a better feed there.

What I'd like to find is a better feed somewhere out on the nets. I've been checking a couple places and they're no more up to date.

I guess there's always the labor-intense method of searching each team's info out individually, it's just that you'd think there would be someone consolidating it already...
