GETTING STARTED Welcome to version 2.0 of CASH! You are using the most successful statistical handicapping system ever created, so please take the time to read through the HELP topics to make sure you understand how to use all the features. (If you have not registered yet and would like more information, pull down the "Register" menu and choose the "General Information" option.) This program was developed over a period of several years, and involved an exhaustive data analysis effort. The end result of that research was an advanced formula that uses statistics shown to have a high correlation to a team's scoring ability. This is then balanced by the defensive stats of the opposing team, and both sets of data are adjusted based on the strength of each team's schedule. CASH calculates a final score, then uses available LINE and OVER/UNDER information to make predictions against-the-spread. (The LINE and OVER/UNDER numbers have NO effect on the final score calculations.) These predictions do NOT take into account intangible factors like injuries or weather, so we encourage you to do some research on your own and analyze ALL the data thoroughly. If you would like more information on how to pick winning teams, check out the "Picking Winners" HELP topic.
