Todd put a turbo charger on the engine and added two rocket boosters.

Yes, in the past I was wondering about it. Now it is possible to post predictions for the entire week.Hum, when I wanted the more accurate results the site used the old method. Now that this changed ...

One interesting stuff is that when playing Atlantic Keno, my predictions were doubled. Making 16 picks instead of only 8. 16 picks instead of just 10!!! Not bad since it boosted a little my statistics ...

That's a great topic. What causes these predictions to gain so much

The speed is the only thing that changed. Are you saying you liked it slower?

Edit: I guess you're talking about including stats from games that have not been drawn yet. I like it to be accurate; others may feel otherwise. I gotta go with my gut on this.

I did not mention new features -- just speed. Of course, to anyone who has not seen them before, they would be new .

I just finished installing substantial performance increases for the prediction statistics pages, including all the statistics reports for each member, and all the Top Predictors reports.

It took a major architectural change to the database and some creative coding to make it happen. (Anyone who has data warehouse experience may appreciate the difficulty.)

There are now more that 110 million predictions made by all of you (and a few by me ) stored in the database -- all of which is report... [ More ]
