The glaring omission in the original follower script was that there is no taking into account any trends.

I would look at the distribution list for each column and have zero clue which one in the list would be the next out.

The goal here, outside of learning about short term trends is to eventually integrate this into the follower concept, adding the Hot/Neutral/Cold to the distribution output, and perhaps use a shorter term for the follower count to also capture the more recent followers rather than looking at the entire game history.

The ultimate goal being to put together many of the ideas into one program to give the best guess possible. And sticking to column-at-a-time allows the flexibility to analyze any of the pick N games by simply pointing to a different csv file.

But one thing at a time... finally get a day off tomorrow to move this hot cold idea into executable code.
