╘HIS PROGRAM IS CALLED ╞╧╧╘┬┴╠╠ ╫╔╬. ╔T HELPS YOU TO HANDICAP PRO FOOTBALL
GAMES BASED ON THE THEORY THAT THE BOTTOM LINE IS TEAM POINTS SCORED AND TEAM
POINTS ALLOWED. ╔N OTHER WORDS, OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.
┴ SAMPLE FILE OF STATS IS THE SEQUENTIAL FILE ╫╦13/86 ╙╨╠ ╞╔╠┼. ╠OAD THIS FILE
INTO THE PROGRAM TO TRY IT OUT.
┼VERY WEEK STARTING AFTER THE GAMES OF WEEK 1 HAVE BEEN PLAYED, YOU ENTER
THE POINTS ALLOWED AND POINTS SCORED FOR EACH TEAM IN THE ╬╞╠. ┼NTER THE FIRST
WEEKS AS 01, 02, 03 ETC. SO AS TO HAVE A UNIFORM PATTERN SINCE THE HIGHER WEEKS
WILL ALSO THEN HAVE TWO DIGITS SUCH AS WEEKS 11, 12, 13, ETC.. ╔ USAULLY SAVE
THIS TO DISK AS ╫╦01/91. ╫ITH THE 91 REPRESENTING THE YEAR. ┴FTER WEEK 2, ╔
LOAD IN ╫╦01/91 AND ADD IN THE POINTS FROM THE SECOND WEEK. ╔ THEN SAVE TO DISK
╫╦02/91 AND THEN SCRATCH ╫╦01/91.
┘OU CAN KEEP STATS FOR EACH YEAR. ┘OU COULD COMBINE LAST YEARS STATS WITH
SAY THIS YEAR STATS OF ╫╦02/91 BY USING THE MERGE OPTION. ╞ROM THE MENU YOU CAN
TRY ═┴╬╒┴╠ ├┴╠├ TO SEE HOW YOUR FAVORITE TEAM WAS FAIRING AS OF WEEK 13 IN 1986
IF YOU HAVE LOADED IN THE SAMPLE FILE, ╫╦13/86 ╙╨╠ ╞╔╠┼.
╠ETS SAY THAT YOU HAVE SAVED TO DISK THE STATS FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF
THE ╬╞╠ SEASON AND HAVE THIS INFO IN MEMORY. ╬OW YOU CAN SELECT ┴╒╘╧ ├┴╠├ FROM
THE MENU. ┼NTER THE ╬╞╠ TEAMS IN PAIRINGS. ╞OR EXAMPLE, IF THE ┬EARS ARE
PLAYING THE ╟IANTS IN THE UPCOMING WEEK 3, ENTER THEM TOGETHER. ├ONTIUE
ENTERING THE TEAM PAIRINGS. ┴FTER YOU HAVE ENTERED ALL 28 ╬╞╠ TEAMS, ALL THE
STATS WILL PRINT TO YOUR PRINTER FOR EASY COMPARISON OF THE PAIRED TEAMS. ╘HE
PRINTER COLUMNS MARKED ┴/╙ MEANS ┴ FOR "ALLOWED" AND ╙ FOR "SCORED". ╘HUS IT IS
EASY TO COMPARE HOW THE ┬EARS AND ╟IANTS COMPARE FOR EACH CATEGORY OF POINTS
ALLOWED AND POINTS SCORED.
╠ETS SAY THAT IN THE UPCOMING WEEK 3 PAIRING FROM THE PRINTOUT THE ┬EARS
HAVE ALLOWED AN AVERAGE OF 8 POINTS PER GAME AND THE MEAN IS 6 POINTS PER GAME.
╔ WOULD AVERAGE THE 8 AND 6 AND CONSIDER THE CALULATED POINTS PROBALBE THAT THE
┬EARS WILL ALLOW IN THE UPCOMING GAME AS 7. ╬OW LETS SAY THAT THE ╟IANTS HAVE
ALLOWED AN AVERAGE OF 13 POINTS PER GAME AND THE MEAN IS 16. ╔ WOULD GUESTIMATE
THAT THE ╟IANTS WILL ALLOW 14 POINTS IN THE UPCOMING GAME. ╘HUS THE ┬EARS
SHOULD BE 7 POINTS BETTER (14-7=7) THAN THE ╟IANTS ON DEFENSE. ╘HEN DO THE SAME
THING USING POINTS SCORED TO SEE WHO WILL DO BETTER ON OFFENSE. ╔F THE ╟IANTS
ARE 4 POINTS BETTER ON OFFENSE THAN THE ┬EARS, BUT 7 POINTS WORST ON DEFENSE,
THEN ╔ FIGURE THE ┬EARS ARE FAVORED IN THE GAME BY 3 POINTS. ╔F THE SPREAD
SHOWS THE ╟IANTS FAVORED BY SAY 7 POINTS, AND MY STATS SHOW THE ┬EARS SHOULD BE
3 POINT FAVORITES, THEN ╔ JUMP ON THE ┬EARS.
├AVEAT: DO NOT MORTAGE THE HOUSE TO BET ON ANY GAMES. ╘HE PROGRAM IS FOR
PURPOSES OF ENTERAINMENT ONLY AND NOT AS AN AID TO ILLEGAL GAMBLING. ┘OU MAY
FIND DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THE STATS TO COMPARE TEAMS. ╫HEN THE PLAYOFF COMES,
USING THE AUTO CLAC OPTION, ENTER THE 4 OR 6 OR WHATEVER TEAMS BY PAIRINGS.
╘HEN ENTER "*┼╬─" AT THE NEXT PROMPT TO EXIT AND PRINT OUT THE STATS FOR THE
PAIRINGS. ╬ATURALLY, WHEN YOU GET TO AN UPCOMING SUPER BOWL, YOU WILL ONLY NEED
TO ENTER ONE PARING OF TWO INDIVIDUAL TEAMS.
╔F YOU DISCOVER INTERESTING WAYS TO USE THESE STATS TO HELP YOU, PLEASE
LET ME KNOW IN ┼-MAIL.
