[ahomeplateslugger]

these nfl lines are weird to me. the favorites should be getting more points imo which makes me wonder if it's a trap game.

so far i like

steelers -4
raiders -1
bucs -6
cards - 4.5
giants -3.5

i think the cards and giants are better than the 4.5 and 3.5 they're giving up so i might just stay away from those

USF right off the bat

Stick a fork in USF.

 

[Bernie Madoff]

shyt why not lol

So I posted this in the programming thread but I figured it would be relevant here as well

So I have always been really into sports betting and have followed this guys model for a while.

I decided to write a program that would grab his data, grab the vegas line, compare the two and point out the largest discrepancies between the two.

I originally had it as just a command line tool where you would enter a url and it would output your info but I decided to build it out into a full web app.

Here is the command line version

Here is the webapp version

I am about to upload it to heroku

Here is the main code that parses the ratings and returns the results

As the season goes on I am going to track the results and see how it performs.

It is always good to combine coding with something you are interested in. It's good practice and you get to learn new shyt.






I am going to try to get the webapp running on a server so everyone can use it as another tool to help pick games.

Based on this weeks projections I made these bets

Niice, how long did it take for you to compile this code and where did you learn how to write code? I'm currently working in the systems side of it but wanting to evolve into a devops engineer, any advice?

Niice, how long did it take for you to compile this code and where did you learn how to write code? I'm currently working in the systems side of it but wanting to evolve into a devops engineer, any advice?

Took me probably three hours to write it. I learned using online resources and got a job as a remote developer 4 months ago. Go fukk with freecodecamp.com or theodinproject.com it's basically all you need

lost my 3 team parlay cuz of 1 fukking point from COst vs Minne Game...That hurt mane
