Yeah, it's exactly the same. My bad: I didn't look carefully at what Roscoe wrote. I was just about to delete my post.

But "P" stood for predicted result, and "A" stood for actual result in what I wrote. P_T1 = "Number of wins predicted for team 1". Sorry, I read physics equations all day.

And I'm a mathematician by training, which explains why I was able to grasp your notation right away...and also why I was able to get excited about proper use of absolute values.

I just copied what BillLaimbeer sent me last year when I asked for his help on a tie breaking scheme.

Thanks for looking out guys.

Geez, I can't believe I picked Miami to beat the Bulls 4-3. Horrible!

I picked the same. I was pulling for the Bulls, but I didn't think they could get past Wade's 20+ FT attempts.

You ain't alone. I was counting on Riley to pull a bunny out of his butt.

Re: 2007 NBA Playoffs Bracket Pool Discussion

I'm sitting pretty well with every matchup so far.

Well, except Dallas / Golden State.

I still believe they can come back.

That's how bookies make their $$$. Sports are just too unpredictable. I think we all can agree that picking winners in the playoffs is a very thanksless task.
