Create function to calculate CLV for spreads and totals about bettor HOT 5 OPEN

Awesome idea! Such a hassle to do this calc by hand, especially for spreads and totals. @papagorgio23 have you been able to come up with something for this?

I love your thinking here! I have a list of ideas and calculating CLV for spread and total bets was definitely on the TODO list.

I like how you structured a possible solution. I've talked to quite a few bettors and there are some slight differences of opinions on CLV calculations but my ultimate goal is to automate the majority of the manual work that you and most everyone else goes though when trying to track CLV. I think this is a very doable function to add to the package and I will try to add in a little flexibility to account for the differences I've seen for accounting for the worth of points for spread and total CLV.

Now that football season is dying down, I'm hoping to have more free time to dedicate to this package. I hope you're enjoying it so far and please continue to suggest new ideas because I'm open to anything. Thanks!

Love it. Thanks! If I can help you, let me know.

Thanks for pinging this thread, @Cwadmail. Now that NCAAB is almost here, I'll be doing this manually again.

@papagorgio23, you alluded to CLV being calculated differently by folks. Is the way I describe standard or the exception? I'd be willing to take a pass on this function but I'd want direction on how to calculate CLV, especially if the way I calculate it in the example isn't standard.

I'm sorry I still haven't gotten around to this...Life has been nonstop for the last year+... But @aqsmith08 you are more than welcome to try it out! Your solution is solid and pretty standard (I've seen slight variations but this is more common). I know getting this into the package would be way helpful.

Create a branch and add it in. If you need help with anything just ping me.
