    Expert.... I think this is funny that you have found this system. I use to use this system 9 years ago. It looked great on paper, and it started out great. I found myself up 11 units after 3 weeks. I continued to use this system for 4 months. I don't remember my exact record, but I can tell you that it was a flawed system. I don't remember the exact record. I want to say it was around 56-51.

    After mulling over the fact that it wasn't working, I decided to critique this system.

    This is what I did...

    Keep in mind that the average points scored by for each team was 96.5 points. I will give you an example of what I did.

    Example:

    Golden State-  Points for 111 Points against 114
    Orlando-          Points for  96 Points against 95

    Taking in account that the average points for all 30 NBA teams was 96.5 points. I either added or subtracted 1 point for every point over or under the average.

    Golden States O was 14.5 points higher than the average, and their D was 17.5 points higher than the average.

    Orlando's O was -.5 higher than the average, and the D was 1.5 points lower than the average.

    Obviously if the offense was higher than the average, that is good. If the defense is lower than the average, this is good also.

    After we get this numerical value, I would do the following...

    Golden State's offense scores (+14.5) points better than the average, and Orlando's defense scores (-1.5) points lower than the average. I would take GST's (+14.5) points on offense and subtract it by Orl's (-1.5) on defense, that would give me (+13). I would then take the average points scored in the NBA, which is 96.5 and add the (+13) to it. That would give me 109.5. That is what Golden State will score in that game.

    Orlando's offense scores (-.5) points lower than the average. Golden States defense scores (+17.5) points higher than the average. I would take Orlando's (-.5) on offense, and add GST's (+17.5) points on defense, that would give me (+17). I would then take the average points scored in the NBA, which is 96.5 and add the (+17) to it, that would give me 113.5. That is what Orlando will score in that game.

    Final Score Prediction:

    Golden State: 109.5
    Orlando:         113.5

    Total would be: 223
    Orlando would be: +4 favorite

    Remember that this is a prediction of the outcome, this is not the final score. I would use this system on every NBA game. I would then decide the best selections to chose based on which games that are most favorable.

    Example: I have a 7 point rule!!! If the Total of a game is 7 points higher than the predicted score, I would wager on it. I would also do the same thing when betting the side.

    If you do this when a side or total is 1-4 points different, this system will not work.

    Chose your games wisely, and be selective.

     

    I will also tell you to wait about 10 games for every team to gather their stats. If you don’t do so, the system may find you -5 units down, before the system takes into effect.

    I understand that this looks very confusing. If you get a pad and pencil and work out the equation above, you will find this to be very easy. I hope I have given you all a system to follow and win big on.

    Good luck to all, and to all a goodnight!

    OK  eagle shot I will try it, you tell me if this is right
    I will try one of last nights game
    Houston     points for 98.6     points against 93.8
    Cleveland   points for 102.4    points against 89.2

    Houston     O    98.6-96.5= 2.1            D  96.5-93.8= -2.7
    Cleveland    O   102.4-96.5=5.9            D  96.5-89.2=-7.3

    Houstons O 2.1-7.3=-5.2 from 96.5=  91.3
    Clevelands O  5.9-2.7=3.2 from 96.5 =98.7

    Final score prediction:
    Houston  91.3
    Cleveland 98.7
    Total points    200

    last night over/under was 186.5
    so this would of been over for this game because the over/under was 13.5 points higher than the original total

    Also 7.4 was the line and the original ine was 7.5
    OMG Cleveland beat Houston last night 99-90 so a total of 189 points scored WOW this does work

    You did it perfectly! I would say about 20-30% of the sides/totals fall into the 7 point differential.

    There is one point a failed to mention. When you are figuring out the side figure. Make sure you add 3 points to the home team. so in the Celtics vs. Lakers figure. The Lakers should be favored by 1 point

    Celtics       101.5
    LA Lakers  102.5

    I hope this makes sense, good luck!

    If you would add 3 points to the home team wouldn't it be 104, maybe I am missing something please explain, I am a little confused now. I want to thank you again though for this I am always looking for a better way for my handicapping.

     What you have is a good starting point. You must add on this. Line makers are not stupid they are sharp as can be. If a line is seemingly off it might be a trap. There are circumstances that teams will go over par and under par in relationship to what seems the norm. Have you ever seen the line on a second half game that is totally out of sync with the game line. Bad teams often get peculiar 2nd half lines and probably cover More often then not when it looks too good to be true. There are many things that are considered when handicapping totals. The linemakers know most of this. Here is a sample. When a high scoring team loses to the under by 10 or more they average about 5 points above their average in their next game unless they are mired in a scoring slump. The linemaker adds a couple points on this and the seemingly good line becomes a trap. Handicapping is not a simple 1 -2 -3 and here is the answer problem. There are many things that get in the way of simple handicapping stragedies. The idea is to be aware of them and act upon them when they come up.

    Hey slock
    I checked into that 70% against the public system it doesnt when at 70% YTD Some years it was down.
     
    I dont think that is a 100% proven system.

    Big Keith, I'm glad that someone is actually looking into this. Please tell me where u got your information. Remember that the 55% is averaged out over a whole season for that particular sport. I'm not sure if u understood exactly what I was saying. When 70% OR ABOVE are on one side or total you take the opposite side or total, and over the course of a season you will win a little more than 55% of the time. This DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL WIN EVERY WEEK OR TWO WEEKS. For all I know u could even have a losing month. The pros have losing months. You have to stick to the method with small wagers and build. I think what you found is that your account can fluctuate, and yes it will. Write me back Keith, I want to talk further on this topic.

    In short, Keith, this method is proven 55-56% for over the course of sport's season, like the throughout the four months of NCAA Bball, or the six months of MLB. Only proven sports are MLB, NCAA Bball, NFL, NCAA Fball, and NHL.

    Starting on 11-6 to 12-23 it is
    97.0 Road Team
    99.8 Home Team
    196.8 Both
     
    197.0 Average opening line
     
    During the same time span
    177 Unders won
    175 Overs won
     
    I don't know what it is for the whole season, because I don't include the 1st 63 games in my records.

    Memo is right Expert. You need to check the NBA average on a weekly basis.
