Section 8.7. Predicting Sides (Straight-Up and ATS)
After you load a formula, WinPicks is ready to make predictions for the current date. To predict games both straight-up and against the spread (ATS), select SIDES from the PREDICT menu. The predictions appear as shown in Figure 8.70.
Figure 8.70 - Predicting Sides (CFA)
The prediction screen is divided into 10 columns:
WinPicks Favorite - The team that WinPicks predicts to win.
By - The WinPicks line. WinPicks expects its favored team to win by this many points.
WinPicks Underdog - The team that WinPicks predicts to lose.
Line Favorite - The team the sportsbook predicts to win.
By - The actual betting line (point spread) for the game.
Line Underdog - The team the sportsbook predicts to lose.
Recommend - If a team appears in this column, WinPicks is predicting that this team will cover the line. A formula recommends picks when the difference between the actual line and the WinPicks line is within the range of the betting window.
Score - Once the game has been played, this column lists the score in this format: WinPicks Favorite - WinPicks Underdog.
Result SUR - If the game has been played, this column tells you if WinPicks picked the winner of the game correctly. WON means that WinPicks was right. LOST means that WinPicks was wrong.
Result ATS - If the game has been played, this column displays how WinPicks did against the spread. If WinPicks did not recommend a pick against the spread, this column is left blank. However, if WinPicks did recommend a pick, WON means that WinPicks was right. LOST means that WinPicks was wrong.
