Vegas vs KenPom System

So, to hopefully help pad my wallet I'm going to take the extra .5 points.

I locked in:
La Salle +14.5
Tennessee +6.5

I will cancel them if the lines don't move to make them system plays.

Also, I will not count them on the overall record with the extra half point

CoC -17                                       CoC -23
Valpo -1                                        Valpo -3

So Tonights plays are:
Chattanooga +3.5
Samford +17
W.GB +1

If the Syracuse line moves to 3, Syracuse will be a play.


Good start for the system.  2-1 as we avoided the near moose with Wisky Green Bay.

I will continue to track this system and everyone is welcome to help me mold it into a winning system.

Also, If I miss a game that is supposed to be a play, please let me know

Once there you can see his prediction for every game being played that day.

You can compare his projected line with the actual line made by Vegas(I am just using the lines on covers)

Thanks bro! Your the man! 

I will do a couple examples for you:
Vegas has Xavier at -14.5 while Kenpom has Xavier winning by 18 (88-70).  According to my rules for the system, a game with a line between 12.5 and 16 needs to have a difference of 4 to qualify as a play.  This game is close because it has a difference of 3.5 and if the line moves to -14, the difference will be 4 and it will qualify.  The play would be La Salle +14

Same can be said for Tennessee.  Vegas has Vandy at -6.5 while Kenpom has them winning by 9 (76-67).  According to my rules, a game with a line between 4.5 and 12 has to have a difference of 3 to qualify.  This is a 2.5 point difference now and if the line moves to -6, it will qualify as a play.  The play would be Tennessee +6.

I hope this clears things up for you Jtmarlin

just looking at your system, if you wait for the lines to move in the better's favor, you would have lost the hook and have less of an edge, but as you stated if you locked in at your current lines: la salle 14.5 and tennesse at 6.5 then these basically are no plays in the system.  need to tweak it some more!

Just a thought and I would be curious to see what the record would be if  you added this one tweak to it.

Again, with the high juice on some of these, possible ML parlays here I would think. At any rate, will track through the week and possibly play some this weekend.
