#1 Posted: 2/13/2012 10:00:21 AM Took a day off
yesterday, due to tight lines. My scoring table went 3-3 on the day.
Monday's first play is:
Minnesota Timberwolves
+5.5
Projected score:
T-Wolves 96 Magic 94
That's a 7.5-ATS edge
for the T-Wolves
Unit Split: 90% spread
and 10% ML
Minnesota travels well;
they are my #10 road team. On the other hand the Magic struggle at home, they
are my #16 home team. Part of the reason for poor home performance is
disinterested fans that may be off-put by the rift that Dwight is causing in
this Magic organization.
The T-Wolves hold a big
advantage at PG and Love can contest Howard for rebounds, that is what will
make the difference for the T-Wolves.
That's enough for the
speculative write-up.. in reality all of my plays are based on market value and
quantitative analysis, not match-ups and stuff I think COULD happen. I know the
NBA like the back of my hand, but it’s all perception and bias. You need cold hard statistics and market
recognition to cap the NBA well. We are
playing against the logical perception that public plays [and write-ups] are
based on.
I do believe in trends,
for the simple fact that all ATS trends always progressing/regressing to a
mean, because that is how spreads are designed. The Magic hold a slight trend advantage, so i won't post them here because I do not want to confuse anyone as to who the play is on. I am going to monitor the line a bit more for laying on this game.. most places are still at +5.5 so I am not worried about it ticking the wrong direction.
I have 3 more
prospective plays, they are sitting right on the bubble so I will have to see what kind of line moves we get. |

I gave the Sixers a 1.5-point ATS advantage.. All the Bobcats lines are inflated at this point, so you can be sure that you aren't getting value on the line. However, they are a terrible team so a blowout is always likely. |

The trend and market edges are different, as you probably know. Yesterday Boston and Golden State both held the trend advantage over Chicago and Houston. Which basically means that BOS and GS were more "due" for a cover than their counterparts. That is all based on regression of the ATS figures to a mean.
However, Boston and Houston held the market advantage, and Derrick Rose's scratch increased Chicago's market value. I find market value my evaluating each teams intrinsic value based on nothing but unbiased statistics. The difference between the spread and my intrinsic value awarded to each team, is public perception and betting percentages.
So, at the end of the day, Chicago and Houston held slight edges yesterday, due to higher market value discrepancies than than Boston and Golden State trend discrepancies. However, neither team held enough of an edge to elicit a play.

You are correct.. I had forgotten to adjust the raw power rankings into "game points." The Suns still have an edge of 4-points, I just had to adjust the power ranking into a projected score. It is PHO 101 GS 100.. I hadn't adjust the LAC/DAL score yet either, it is actually LAC 94 DAL 95. Thanks for noticing that error, appreciate it.
