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. 04 Select { 2 } Picks Using Overall Stats The program will ask you to enter the date the games will be played ?

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.
