How I Handicap The NBA

If you have the historical data, testing various formulas wouldn't take long at all -- a few minutes for each trial.  The data would have to be in some format, preferably in a ' .csv ' (comma seperated values) file.  Easier to test then to risk money.

Very interesting formula.

The problem with this and any formula or system is that if you don't take account anything else, this is reason it will give you 50% win chance.

For you to make it profitable you need to account everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.

- Injuries

- Days or rest

- Situation

- Revenge

- Letdown or Look-Ahead

- Division games

etc, etc, etc.

By adding or subtracting points from this INITIAL raw rating you can come up with a more educated line and hit a better percentage.
