This option will allow you to check or change the home court ad-

home than others, this option is for you. Just enter the number
of the team you would like to change, then enter the new home
field number and press return. After November 30 the program will
automatically figure the Home Court Advantage for you when you enter
the scores. Lets say that you give a team a 4 point home court ad-
vantage. The home court advantage is divided between the two teams
as +2 points for the home team and a -2 from the visitor. It is done
this way as not to effect the total points predicted. If you think
Boston plays well at home and their home court advantage should be 6
points, the home team will have 3 points added to their predicted
score and the visitor will have 3 points subtracted from it's
predicted score. Remember the home court advantage you enter is
only used if you use Select { 2 } Picks Using Overall Stats.

Select { 3 } Picks Using Away / Home Stats
This is the same as Select { 2 } Picks Using Overall Stats except
that the program only uses games played away by the away team and
games played at home by the home team. We set the default to 07,
but you can use any number from 3 thru 16. We run both options
and check to see if they have both picked the same team. A lot
of times the Overall picks will be different then the Away /
Home picks. You have to keep an eye on this because sometimes
one option will be better then the other. We try to play only
the picks that match both options. Remember that this option
don't use any home court advantage because the Away Teams past
games were played on the road and the Home Teams past games
were played at home. We feel that makes the home court built
right into the picks.
Remember on any given night only God knows for sure!!!
