I don't know if it is just on my computer but when I open the xls files from the historical odds archive that is being kept on the website, I almost never see any blue cells indicating negative trend or insufficient statistics. However, when I update the leagues each day in OddsWizard I almost always have cells that are blue in every league, using default value of 900 for depreciation period. It would be useful if the odds in the odds archive would also have this formatting. Otherwise it becomes impossible (at least it appears so to me) to test what would have happened in the past e.g. by following a strategy that would only bet on odds > fair odds where the opposing teams odds are "blue" or to at least not bet on odds that are "blue".
