    Buffalo's 1 Pocket Calcutta $$

    Thanks @skip100. I knew the Fargo rating inherently wasn't the direct prediction, and your 50-point adjustment is interesting. Fargo gives us the best independent data source available. Perhaps in the future, the Fargo site will allow us to select a Fargo Rating by Player and by event. Your...

    Buffalo's 1 Pocket Calcutta $$

    Hmmm. I wonder how good things like a Fargo Rating would be to predict odds on this field, and then to see if the bidding is in line with those odds? For instance, Billy Thorpe at $9k to place in the top 8 and still make a profit ($2,800), is that in line with a full model running the tournament...

    Templates Work The Best For Racking But I Hate Them.

    Smoke eaters in pool halls - owner perspectives

    Years ago, I tried to attend a football game my Godson was playing. He played on a team called the Cougars. I was last to the game. His dad told me they were having an end-of-the-season party and to just come to a specific address. I knew NO ONE at this party except my best friend and his son. I...
