That's how it initially was. But I have now made it so that, as you say, it first checks to see if it's a multiple of 7. If it's a multiple of both 7 and 3 (regardless of whether or not you have played it before), then you will no longer be penalized.

I agree. Just updated.

That makes complete sense. I originally considered making a small noise when the sum was added to the score, though I'm leaning more towards flashing the updated score with a different color. Thank you for the feedback.

That's a great idea! The trick will be finding a place to display it. Maybe I'll add a button next to the score, and clicking it will reveal an overlay with played numbers.

Thank you for pointing that out. No it should be on a game by game basis. It should be fixed now.

Thank you for the article. Believe me, I am very much aware that this is elementary. I hoped to – but apologize that I didn't – make it clear that making predictions requires incorporating many many factors. It was a fun script for me to code, and I was excited to see it work the night I wrote it. But I also understand that this will need more testing and to be based off of far more information to be anywhere close to accurate.

I'm sorry it came off that way. I am very aware that the script in its current form does not come remotely close to doing justice given all of the data thats out there and necessary to incorporate. I meant to make it clear in the article that this script is completely elementary – it was a fun thing to code, but nothing remotely resemblant of what it takes to predict sports with accuracy.

The 2012 data I used as the basis of my program actually had the same thing you describe – the longest streak was an 8 game losing streak despite having more wins than losses overall.

And I understand exactly where you're coming from. This is very preliminary, and if anything it was good coding practice for me. Though I very much intend to incorporate more significant factors like the lineup, the opposing team, and their history.

Excellent idea. And it will provide a much faster way to gauge its accuracy as I adjust the script to accomodate more areas of information.

I actually just started that book and so far so excellent.

yeah for now... They're most definitely a thing, though I have a documents worth of baseball elements I hope to incorporate
