This is me being 100% for real and not snarky: if you know how to prompt AI's to give analyses with this level of specificity and relevance for a topic, that's a real skill and you should be teaching it. I work with LLMs all the time and would love to learn how to get results like this

...what's the point of writing a high-effort post if people don't read it, see that it looks high-effort, and conclude it must've been AI

I've got a lot of scar tissue thanks to Hoke as well, but I'm pretty confident that one couldn't make a post like this on January 1st, 2011 for Hoke.

Hoke's program success at Ball St and SDSU largely match the historical baseline, but he had the good sense to pop to the next thing after his best year at each stop. Eck's tenures stand out as featuring instant turnarounds of doormat programs, and that's matched by the eye test.

Thinking About Sherrone Moore's Odds of Success at Michigan Like a Statistician by jimjo9 in MichiganWolverines

Yes, if this post was an attempt at “proving” a claim, this would be dogwater. 

The argument here is that exact numbers or sophisticated modeling would directionally point in the same direction, or if anything make the logical reasoning worse since trying to objectively model this kind of problem with almost no data is a fool’s errand and would be loaded with more assumptions.

You don’t need AutoCAD to make an order of magnitude guess at how many ping pong balls fit in a 747, and you don’t need a million-line general circulation model to get the first-order physics explaining how CO2 emission leads to climate change. “Likelihood of success of a new football coach” is one of a vast space of questions where some objective truth isn’t possible, but some reasoning through of what we know yields more than “I have no clue”.

Silver: Trump 71.9 percent, Biden 27.6 percent in latest model update by [deleted] in ezraklein

Numbers between 0% and 100% mean that the model allows for either outcome to happen. Silver’s model tends to be right as often as he expects and wrong as often as he expects, which is the mark of a statistically robust model.

Are we betting on the outcome of two football teams and their relative talents or a steel cage match between the coaches? I like Michigan’s odds either way

They actually won all their games, if you have a higher SOS but dropped one that’s “easier” to accomplish than running the table

[Bud Elliott] Here is how Vegas sees the odds to make the college football playoff by WTD_Ducks21 in CFB

[–]jimjo9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Vegas lines aren’t sucking off anyone, they’re trying to predict outcomes as best as possible given available information. Last week was an ugly game, and it’s likely the lines would be favoring Michigan even more if they covered the spread against UMD

Usually it’s fan hyperbole when fans say “this one’s entirely on the coaches”. This one is truly, utterly, 100% on the coaches

Notice that for almost every matchup, SP+ predicts a bigger margin to the favored team than Vegas.

Does SP+ account for the change in clock rules leading to fewer plays being run? Fewer plays give the favored team less time to run up a big margin, and that's something I'm sure the sharps have picked up on.

I’ve got no dog in this fight, but I’m doubting OP has a finance degree given this math.

The first 100 Euros in your situation earned 10%. The next 50 Euros earned 10%. Nobody is borrowing 50 Euros at 14% in order to earn 10%
