Performance through 41 bets from a recency-weighted Bayesian model for pitcher K's. Not too shabby for a first attempt at modeling this market, but we'll see how it continues to hold up over the next few weeks.

Continuing to experiment with this recency-weighted Bayesian model for pitcher K's. So far, it's down 1.44% after 41 bets. I'm going to keep trying it out until I've placed >= 100 bets with it before deciding what refinements it might need.

Took a few days off from testing the new recency-weighted Bayesian pitcher K's model to have a baby, but back to testing as he sleeps on me.

I started building @btrbet.bsky.social because I wanted two things:
1. A way to track all of my bets that wasn't a spreadsheet.
2. A way to line shop that was integrated into my betting process.

I'm very proud that BtrBet does both and more, for every bettor, for free.

I think he also gets credited with receiving yards, but not a catch however. What a strange rule edge case.

Dogfooding your product is exciting in two ways: you build a better product through user empathy and get to experience success using the product just like your users do.

Apropos, it has been a great NCAAMB season so far!

Reader from Readwise is pretty good, especially if you already use Readwise for collecting your marginalia.
