Once you enter a pitchers name in for a team you have to leave the name in that spot for the rest of the season. 2. If a pitcher is traded to another team then you have to add the pitchers name to that teams list of pitchers. You will also have to leave the pitchers name on the list of pitchers for the old team. 3. ONCE A PITCHER IS PUT IN FOR A CERTAIN TEAM THAT PITCH HAS TO REMAIN WITH THAT TEAM FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. 4. You can have the same pitcher, pitching for several different teams as the program reads only the stats for each team not the pitchers. 03 Select { 5 } Add Game To Schedule Choosing this option will allow you to add a game to the schedule or add an entire season's schedule. That is a lot of work. Press { 5 } and you will be prompted to Enter Date Games Played, press <ENTER> and continue. A window will open displaying the Visiting Team. Use the up and down arrows to scroll to the visiting team. Press <ENTER> and a window will open displaying Home Team. Again, scroll with the up and down keys until you come to the home team.

After deciding how many games you want to included in your forecast you will see the question at the bottom of the window asking, " Is This Correct (Y/N) Y ". Press <ENTER> to accept your decision, press N to change it. The program will then ask the following question ? 04 Do You Want A Full Screen Display Or Just The Results (Y/N) ?

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 on any given night only God knows for sure!!! 05 Select { 4 } Check (1) Team Statistics Using the arrow keys select the team you want to display and press return. Use Arrow Key's to Display Teams press <ENTER> To Display Team Stats Team : Boston RF 1,890 RA 1,793 Won 11 Lost 8 Power Rank As Visitor : 99.2 At Home : 114.3 Over All : 106.3 Ga.# Date Played Opponent Pf Pa Line Cover 1 07-04 Home Cleveland 1 3 Fav The program will start the display at the last 7 games the team played and the next 8 to be played if the schedule is installed Y.T.D.

Up-Date Sheet For : 07-04 Visiting Team Home Team Line Cleveland _____ Boston _____ _____ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We don't have the program give the Score Sheet a form feed so that you can copy more then 1 Score Sheet on a piece of paper. 06 Select { 7 } Check Past Match-Ups Pressing 7 will load another program. Select { Q } Quit Returns you to DOS. Some things you may or not know about baseball ---------------------------------------------- 1. It has been said many of time that GOOD PITCHING beats GOOD HITTING. The truth is that good pitching beats good hitting most of the time. 2. When you bet baseball you bet a money line and you should never bet a Favorite, but if you do never, never lay more then 7 to 5 never. Try to bet only Dog's as you can win 1 of 3 Dog's and still make some money. 3. Example of the money line. Lets say that Clemens is pitching for Boston and is the Favorite vs a weak team. the line would look something like this. Boston 230 Cleveland 100. This means that if you bet Boston you would have to put up 230 to win a 100 on the other hand if you played Cleveland you would put up a 100 to win 220. This is the main reason you should only play DOGS. If you bet 3 Dog's at 230 / 100 and only win 1, you have won 220 and only lost 200, so you have made $20. On the other hand if you bet 3 favorites and win 1 you have won 210 and lost 460, that makes you 250 in the hole. 4. Most of the time the Home Team is the Favorite and the Away team the Dog. 5. This program only uses the runs scored and allowed by each team in direct relation to each teams strength of schedule for the number of games you have selected to use. In short this program looks at the hitters and not the pitchers. 6. All teams have their 1 and 2 main starting pitchers so what we look for is when the program picks the dog and the other team has their 3 or 4 pitcher going that day vs any of the pitchers our team has going. 7. We don't use the 2nd of game of a double header in this program as the teams use a different catcher and most of the time a long reliver as the starting pitcher.
