First Tournament ATS

It started with panic and a deadline.

March 2025. Brackets were due Tuesday. I hadn't followed college hoops that year. But I had 30+ years of watching ball, a math/CS degree from Illinois—and a weekend.

So I built something—not to change the world. Just to survive the first weekend.

Selection Sunday, panic mode

The Weekend That Changed Everything

I didn't set out to build a system. I just didn't want to finish last.

But when you turn 30 years of basketball knowledge into code, and it outperforms the pros— maybe it's worth sharing.

That first run? 54% ATS during the tournament. Since then? 3,589 games. 59.8% accuracy.

Turning 30 years of hoops knowledge into code

Didn't mean to be an expert. Just refused to suck.
