Last year, I made a system based on different web sites power rankings.  I mixed them together, weighing them based on whether the website updates daily, biweekly or weekly.  Based on the tally, I am posting the top 4 teams of the day (unlike NHL where it’s only the top 4 team in the rankings) and fading the bottom 4 teams of the day.  The websites used are Oddsshark, Covers, Cbssports, Teamrankings>Predictive, Home/Away, Last 10 and lastly, Statfox.  These were the only websites I could find that I could pull the rankings from easily.  
I also made my own rankings based on the Last 5 games played + YTD stats, L20 games +YTD stats and also made up another based on the Runs Scored/Runs Against system + Last 5 games.
I will be monitoring, but not posting other systems:  Dog plays based on Tony Stoffo system, a Progressive/Regressive one that I found on Covers that I cannot find right now and Reverse Line, whereas the betting public is heavy on a team, but the line goes against that team.

I made a spreadsheet for the RSRA instead of posting the numbers:

https://www.covers.com/postingforum/POST01/showmessage.aspx?spt=79&sub=103232798

Post any of the spreadsheet problems there.

RSRA2 is RSRA but with Medians instead of averages.

I won't be posting the systems records everyday.

Progs/Regres, Dogs, and Rev Line plays will be based on when  I update my spreadsheet for the final time of the day, and not based on Covers' final lines.  I use Vegas Insider for my lines.  The plays may swap out after this time but would still be a play here.

The power rank plays were not reset (post #14) as I had these correct on my spreadsheet.

The RSRA plays on this thread are different from the "Play All" in the other thread in that the difference of the numbers stated is at least 1.000 or greater to become a play.  So far, playing all teams (from the other thread) is paying off more while playing the RL (or ARL if dog) is paying off greater if you weed out the teams with less than 1.000 difference.

Reverse that...weeding out the teams 1.000 and below is paying out greater and playing all teams on the RL or ARL (dog) is greater.

This thread:

RSRA 47 - 25 $17.77 35 - 37 $9.71 

Other Thread:

RSRA 60 - 39 $16.43 46 - 53 $11.44
