Here are the results containing my regression model's predictions on BO, using HSXSanity Data from pre-release forecasts. elchan2012 Feb 25, 23:08

Wow. What happens when smart dudes get together and share #s is awesome. Thanks elchan and Mr Moore! {nm} Willroast Feb 26, 00:09

Some initial thoughts... RogerMore Feb 26, 04:34

Actually, the extrapolated RS data is not all that accurate. Mean error rate for RS is 0.45 for, compared to ,,, elchan2012 Feb 26, 07:18

Here are the result of a few runs: elchan2012 Feb 26, 08:09

Interesting. It's worth noting that an average error of 25% is still about as good as the best predictors over a season of EAP God. RogerMore Feb 26, 08:37

I was only kidding, they are all bad forecasters, but when combining their information, the regression comes up with a good fit. elchan2012 Feb 26, 08:57

Nate Silver's missing out on all the fun :) {nm} tealfan Feb 26, 08:56

yes... jaymel Feb 25, 12:16

Nicely Done. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 25, 18:58

Does anyone have historical data for predicted box office sales? Or does anyone know if there is a data set available anywhere on the web? brianstorm Feb 25, 10:46

Yes, there's over 4 years of box office predictions in this spreadsheet RogerMore Feb 25, 10:52

Thank you so much RogerMore, that is exactly what I was hoping for! brianstorm Feb 25, 10:58

Collected, week by week {nm} RogerMore Feb 25, 11:06

That's impressive. Thanks again! {nm} brianstorm Feb 25, 11:28

Hmm, every interesting. I could implement a nice regression model on all that data, and do BO predictions. {nm} elchan2012 Feb 25, 07:01

Yeah, letting the number-crunchers have a go at that sort of stuff and seeing the result is one of my main motivations for sharing the info. RogerMore Feb 25, 07:55

So you've run Linear Regressions? I guess it a matter of identifying the right set of features to get the best fit. elchan2012 Feb 25, 15:33

Only to see what relationships there are between early indicators and delist. RogerMore Feb 25, 17:04

(So I think you can do it with two factors - target audience and level of audience interest) {nm} RogerMore Feb 25, 17:07

This data is a little more complicated. I'm going to work on a regression for the predictions database you have above, first. {nm} elchan2012 Feb 25, 19:47

You only have 420 mil. I could burn through that in SBOs alone... However, I digress. (more) PVL Admin Feb 24, 01:12

Of course, all of this (and more) is available in the Port Value League description area of the league you are in... {nm} PVL Admin Feb 24, 01:15

You don't have to radar all the SBO, just use this search to find every SBO with a dROI above 2, for instance ... elchan2012 Feb 24, 10:03

The two events are not dependents. For Powerall, he had very tiny amounts of luck to start with, so he's bound to run out. {nm} elchan2012 Feb 20, 20:32

I did check that out ty! enigma Feb 18, 20:11

Confused about RoboCop "Call" Derivative. I had 20,000 shares bought at 2.00 for $40000. Does this mean it cashed out for only $1,200? CactusLand Feb 18, 17:41

The strike prices was $25, actual was $25.06. Somebody please explain it because CactusLand Feb 18, 17:44

Weekend box office gross (25.06) - strike price (25) = cash out of 0.06 per share. {nm} socby19 Feb 18, 18:11

You are correct. Break even for this particular call would have been 25 strike + 2 premium = 27 Oleg Max Feb 18, 18:15

only Fri-Mon counts, per the stock description {nm} lapuckfan Feb 18, 18:47

** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** enigma Feb 18, 19:56

here you go. box office this weekend was 25 not 30. cash out is correct. You're adding in box office from Wed (2.8) and Thur (2.1) Moviesnob Feb 18, 20:03

TY! Moviesnob enigma Feb 18, 20:08

Is there a trick to the Classic Cash game? {nm} AgentEvil Feb 17, 06:17

If there is a trick, I don't know it. When I remember to play, I just click same location poster every time. One would think Oleg Max Feb 17, 07:46

I also click the same position every time, and win less than 1/7th of the time. Bit odd. {nm} CG63 Feb 17, 08:29

There used to be a trick, but it was fixed, and now it is just random {nm} RazorHawk Feb 17, 07:48

Six (6) Classic Cash Wins in January 2014 for ROTO YTD Port. Most ROTO Wins in 1 month - Eleven (11). RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 17, 09:40

Using a RNG won't help, since the two events are independent. You can click the same movie everyday and still have a 1/7 chance of winning elchan2012 Feb 17, 10:47

*Calling all PHD's in Mathematics.* {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 17, 11:08

LOL, not worth a PhD, undergrad stuff. {nm} elchan2012 Feb 18, 13:31

yap.. unless these two events are mutually dependent on each other.. this scenario is purely random and coincidental ;-) {nm} karspov Feb 18, 05:27

pick Bullit when it comes up and hit 25% of the time. the rest are luck? {nm} DASavage Feb 18, 08:45

the trick is to be lucky....once i hit it 4 days in a row, ill never see that kind of luck again, i havent won it in 2 weeks {nm} horrorfanatic Feb 18, 09:16

So, I'm reading up on starbonds, which I've never played. Am I correct in saying the bond adjusts according to the delist price of a film? CactusLand Feb 16, 07:34

Basically, the total gross of past delisted movies should be ignored when calculating future starbond adjusts? CactusLand Feb 16, 07:58

Use the delist price for the new movie being added; use total gross (up to 250mill) for movies that have already delisted {nm} RazorHawk Feb 16, 08:08

Thank you for clarifying! {nm} CactusLand Feb 16, 08:33

I've been causually playing this game since 2010, and have a portfolio of about $400 million. Some people seem to get that in months. CactusLand Feb 15, 08:46

Playing starbond adjusts is an obvious one. Look in the Glossary to get an idea of how Starbonds work. RogerMore Feb 15, 09:08

thanks! I'll check them out. {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 10:11

I play a version i call HSGuess {nm} DASavage Feb 16, 09:06

At the bottom of description in my leagues, there are a series of tips. Read. Joining optional. PVL Admin Feb 15, 10:48

Thanks that was very helpful . {nm} CactusLand Feb 16, 05:37

See link inside to something I posted a while back DTravel Feb 15, 14:07

Can I link to this in my leagues and caption it "Casual Player Strategy"? {nm} PVL Admin Feb 15, 14:26

Sure, go ahead. {nm} DTravel Feb 15, 22:45

Added, thanks! I think that will help "casual" players a lot. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 16, 12:20

Thanks! {nm} CactusLand Feb 16, 05:37

Excuse the noob question, but does President's day mean a 4-day 2.2 adjust? {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 03:09

Basically, what formula is Robocop using? 5 day opening, or 4 day? {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 03:17

Yes, and in Robocop's case it's "4-day weekend * 2.2 + Wed + Th". The calendar is your friend {nm} RogerMore Feb 15, 04:31

Which calendar are you referring to? {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 06:05

The "market calendar" say that. So what calendar should I be looking at? {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 06:09

Nevermind. I see it. Thanks. {nm} CactusLand Feb 15, 06:10

Is the Change Today on my port in real time? I can't figure why I'm in the red when I hold max shares of 10 of top 12 movers. {nm} BuenaOnda Feb 13, 15:32

Maybe u lose money in other stock {nm} mike255 Feb 14, 05:59

The top 10 movie movers account for 0.95% of your port. {nm} elchan2012 Feb 14, 08:05
