I finished the calculations for the ATS results over the past two years. I analyzed and extrapolated the data, trying to find a correlation between my system picks and Vegas oddsmaker data. I currently pull oddsmaker data from every Vegas and every offshore book for every week of seasonal play. The goal is not to prove or disprove anything. The overall goal is to find an edge within the results that provides inherent value.

I personally did not do well last year. During previous years, I focused on ML values and was doing fine. However, the last two years I've been trying to shift to an ATS only format as the return value is greater. The results below show a great deal of promise for 2017. The data below is accurate.



In the topmost case, if the spread was an oddsmaker favorite between -31 and -37.5 and it was a also a system favorite on my site, picking the opponent to cover produced a 73.33% winning pct.

In the second and third cases, if the spread was an oddsmaker favorite between the ranges posted above and it was also a system favorite on my site, picking the favorite to cover produced 72.38% and 78.31% respectively. The majority of games were posted in the -1 to -9.5 bracket.

In the final case, if the spread was an oddsmaker underdog between +24 and +35 and the underdog was considered a system favorite on my site (contradicting the oddsmaker), picking the underdog to cover produced a 77.78% result.

The overall number of games for the past two years that fit the criteria was 548 games. 412 won, 125 lost, 11 pushed. The overall winpct was 76.72%. If using a $100 game wager per game as a flat bet per game, discounting the pushes (since no money would be won or lost), $53,700 would have been wagered. The total gains would be $37,080 and the total losses would be $12,500. The net gains would be $24,580.

The goal this year is to use a similar wagering structure and ATS criteria. However, I'm still working through all of the losses to find any correlating trends that worked against the system. My goal is to produce a 3-5% additive value to the current results.

The ATS calculations for all other markers showed little to no promise as providing an edge when comparing them against both systems. Therefore, those ATS markers are not posted.

These are for College Only. I'll post the NFL results by next weekend.

Congratulations Joel. That is a fairly large sample. I think you may have certified yourself as the greatest college football handicapper of all time. I can't wait to read about how you crushed with your NFL bets too.

Here's what you said about last year re college football: " I personally did not do well last year."


That means you may have hit on close to 90% in the year before that. Absolutely superb.

I don't bet on sports, but Joel apparently lives, eats, and breathes the stuff. So, if you're like me, you may be confused by his (undefined) reference to "ATS."

I was confused about why he would be referencing the All-Tall-Small craps bet. Possible, as Joel has previously indicated he sometimes plays craps. But, in this case, he was (almost certainly, I'm pretty durn sure) referring to "Against The Spread," something (probably) well-understood by those who bet on sports (and other various) contests.

Joel, please correct me if I am still confused. I'm no ATS expert.

Joel...... 412-125. Seriously, if I told you I had a system that achieved those results, and published a large table (GIVING NOT A SINGLE SPECIFIC) "proving" that I achieved those results, what would you think?

Do you think you have now found a 'system'that will repeatedly achieve the 77% results you say you got? If so, please buy me a Maserati after you get your Lamborghini.....

Two years of results is a very small sample size. All I said was that I'm "hopeful" for 2017 based on the discovery data.

I will put together a table summary for all of the data and post it today.

Best of luck during March Madness, Joel. We look forward to hearing how you crushed the books and went 25-0 in hopes of gaining someone to sign up to your site.

I don't bet on basketball. I don't post links to my site or tout my site. Every bit of information I share has no reference, links, or pointers (direct or indirect) to my site. I did that "once" when I first joined as an intro and have never done so again.

I've never understood the hate when someone posts information. No where in the information I posted in this topic did I ever once said I crushed or won all of the picks. In fact, I stated very clearly, for anyone that read it, that I did not do well last year. My ATS picks were average at best last year.

As far as my site is concerned, it is mainly a "research site" filled with a ton of data for people to comb through. Most people have an idea of what they want to do as far as wagering. All I do is provide them the data so they can determine if they have an advantage on a game.

What I like about the Wizard and this site is that it contains a lot of easy to read data for many types of games. It's number 1 in my book. My site only focuses on football (college and pro). My goal is to provide as much data as possible on any team or game. I have more than 150 data models where I perform detailed regression analysis to help define and determine predictors.

Since we had a rough start last year SM777, I'll offer my apologies to you for anything negative that I said or implied in any conversation where we differed in opinion. I'm really tired of fighting. It's not productive.

I can guarantee that next year there will be some angle that wins 400 out of 500 against the spread. I can also guarantee that the chance of it being the same angle as last year is near zero

412-125 on even money bets is NOT a small sample size. The likelihood of that win % over 537 events randomly is 1 out of a number with LOTS of zeroes. Most distressing is a man who claims to know a lot about betting NOT realizing that a 412-125 record would likely be the best record over 537 even money bets in the history of human gambling.

The sample size of games within a specific ATS bracket (-1, -1.5, -2, etc.) is small over a 2-year period, no matter how many total combined games are tallied. The end result, after going through all of the data and running multiple tests is:

A net result of more than 480 games that combine for a 63.32% win pct. This includes combining betting on favorites or underdogs via brackets. I'll post the results over the next few days because I'm busy. I'll start at the top of the favorites and work towards underdogs, only providing data that houses an advantage.

Bracket One: ATS of -31 to -37.5 (betting on the Vegas underdog and the System Underdog) (73.9% win pct)

GamesWins on OpponentLosses on OpponentPushes on OpponentWin Pct
47341210.739130435


The qualifier on the bracket has to be a minimum of 40 games uninterrupted from one ATS point to the next ATS point. I don't care if I only find 1, 3, or even 7 brackets of advantage data. All I care is that it produces a positive advantage. Any ATS points not shown produced avg return values.

The columns that are important are the ATS and the Cov. If betting on the opponent ATS we look for the 0 values under the COV. If betting on the favorite, we look for the 1 values under the COV.

There is no value on -15.5 to -20.5 ATS. The cover win % is 50% with both favorites and opponents covering evenly (83-83, 50%). Therefore, this bracket is not posted.

The next bracket was tough. I said it had to contain 40+ games and be continuous but the high and low ends are more advantageous on this bracket.

Qualifier must be 40+ games uninterrupted from one ATS point to another ATS point.

The columns that are important are the ATS and the Cov. If betting on the opponent ATS we look for the 0 values under the COV. If betting on the favorite, we look for the 1 values under the COV.

Totals:

63.6% was the final from the combined ATS brackets. The inconsistency in the first posting was that my first snapshot was from development data and not from production data and I had not accounted for all games played in that DB. I have not gone through the data to determine any type of additional filtering. So, I do believe this can be improved.

Final is (324 - 185, 14 pushes) (63.6% win pct)

I'm saying that after researching and looking at all of the ATS data over the last 2 years that the charts above represent any advantage within each ATS bracket. The totals are the combined results for that research data. Read through the data and determine whether it has any value to you.

That is not my overall record. My overall win pct is barely above 52%. But, I've only been diving into ATS picks over the last two seasons.

I primarily just provide research. My research data over many years was built to provide high probability value for which team would win the outcome of a game. It was never designed to measure ATS. But, like insurance principles, everyone has a risk appetite and so some people like higher value on returns at the cost of more risk. Therefore, I am working more on ATS research data and profiling.

I hope that answers your question.

JD, Unless you are posting your picks prior to the games starting, you will not convert anyone here. Anyone can post whatever they want post games played where the results are as you wish them to be. If you have done this somewhere in this forum/thread, then my apologies for not reading all the mumbo jumbo.

Look at what Rising Dough are Steeldco are doing... they are posting their picks prior to game starting. These are the only picks I will pay attention to or give merit to.

btw, I went 19-1 the past two weeks in hoops. See what Im sayin?

I'm not trying to convert anyone and I don't want to be viewed as a tout going forward. The data I posted is for informational purposes only. If you find the data useful then great.

My goal is finding discovery data that may provide an advantage. My sole concentration is on football.

Joel,

Can you post your NCAA data just for 2015 and then select the best trends where you think you system and the line correlate? Having found those trends, how did they do in 2016? If you can do this going back many years that would be indeed be impressive. Isn't it likely though that the correlations and trends are near random and that they don't hold up as well for the following seasons. However if you found a trend back in 2013 and then it worked in 2014-2016 that indeed would be interesting over 1000+picks.

I'll answer your question by posting the top 3 trends for college.

1. [2016] TSRS (True Statistical Rating of Strength): Accounts for 71.75% Win Probability
1. [2013,2014,2015] TSRS: Accounted for a 70.82% Win Probability

2. [2016] RERDiff (Rushing Efficiency Rating Difference): Accounts for 66.40% Win Probability
2. [2013,2014,2015] RERDiff: Accounted for a 65.88% Win Probability

3. [2016] PERDiff (Passing Efficiency Rating Difference): Accounts for 63.90% Win Probability
3. [2013,2014,2015] PERDiff: Accounted for a 63.99% Win Probability

I have more than 36 Trends that I forecast, with 22 of them accounting for greater than 50% Win Probability. But, since I posted the top 3, I'll explain what they are so I'm not asked the question at a later date.

TSRS

When facing an opponent, each stat category is compared against its opposite. If the opponent is stronger in the comparison, and the team facing them does not deviate from its measured potential, the team will increase slightly in its strength index. TSRS calculates strength of offensive, defensive, and special teams groupings, rates and assigns strength of schedule, and uses covariance between these groups to measure how much these areas change over time. I named it True Statistical Rating of Strength because it handles inflation/deflation values that come with raw statistics. All statistics, regardless of type are converted into a base floating point number. Standard Deviation is used to measure dispersion between teams and lower SD helps determine consistency and quality within each stat grouping. To date, just using TSRS alone produces a 70% or better win probability on any college game.

RERDiff

I created my own Rushing Efficiency Rating formula because it is highly likely you will not find one anywhere on the web, much less one that is accurate. In college, rushing efficiency is slightly more important than passing efficiency. The two are very close but unlike the NFL, rushing is very important in college football. Each offense has a rushing efficiency rating and each defense has a rushing efficiency rating. The greater the RER on offense, the stronger the team is at running the ball. The lower the RER on defense, the stronger the team is defensively at limiting the run. Subtract the two and you have an RERDiff. A team that has a very large RERDiff has a decided advantage over a team that does not.

PERDiff

Pass Efficiency Rating Difference is exact in detail when compared to RERDiff above. It has it's own formula, but the mechanics are pretty much the same as RERDiff so no need to explain this further.



SUMMARY


This year I've built out special AI scenarios for ML and ATS in College and NFL football. I have four unique AI programs that handle scenario driven data.

ML AI for College:

The ML AI for College which I call "Victor Argentum" goes through four base scenarios, and each scenario has up to 15 logic based criteria.

For instance, the four base start with: Power 5 vs. Power 5, Power 5 vs. Group of 5 or IA, Group of 5 or IA vs. Power 5 and finally, Group of 5 or IA vs Group of 5 or IA. Notre Dame is the only exclusion of the group and are considered Power 5 even though they are an Independent. If my system predicts a group of 5 team to beat a power 5 team, it goes through that part of the scenario and is matched to any of the criteria. If it doesn't have greater than a 78% probability after the process is completed, the game is tossed out. Each game fits its own scenario.

ATS is a lot more complicated and I'm pretty excited about all of the scenarios I have in place this year. I won't go into detail here.

--------

I hope that answers all of your questions.

JD,

I've read that 6 point favorites win 70% or more of the time in college football. Does you system add value by winning ML bets above 60% on games where the spread is between -5 and +5? And how does your system find edge on ATS bets?

Have you found your system predicted winners, especially if the books have them as a slight dog, or covering at 60%? And have you back-tested your algo on past seasons to see if the relationship has held to past regimes and increased data?

It would be impressive if you found over hundreds of system picks that your algo can cover more often than not if when books are +1 to +3 on a team yet you have it capped as a -3 situation. What other scenarios are you able to find edge?

Joel,

I'd assume your system and the bookmakers choose the same favorite over 80% (90%?) the time?

Given that; how is it possible your seeing 78% (even 60% would seem improbable) in the -1 to -9.5 games when this range covers half the D1 games (around 800)? Not to mention favorites only covered around 47% for the 2016 across all D1 games.

Your seemingly saying had you just bet your favorites (or even the Vegas favs since there will be huge overlap with your picks) in all games between +16 to -16 you'd have scored huge.

But surely as a seasoned gambler you know that this is false? What am I missing?

I finished the calculations for the ATS results over the past two years. I analyzed and extrapolated the data, trying to find a correlation between my system picks and Vegas oddsmaker data. I currently pull oddsmaker data from every Vegas and every offshore book for every week of seasonal play. The goal is not to prove or disprove anything. The overall goal is to find an edge within the results that provides inherent value.

I personally did not do well last year. During previous years, I focused on ML values and was doing fine. However, the last two years I've been trying to shift to an ATS only format as the return value is greater. The results below show a great deal of promise for 2017. The data below is accurate.



In the topmost case, if the spread was an oddsmaker favorite between -31 and -37.5 and it was a also a system favorite on my site, picking the opponent to cover produced a 73.33% winning pct.

In the second and third cases, if the spread was an oddsmaker favorite between the ranges posted above and it was also a system favorite on my site, picking the favorite to cover produced 72.38% and 78.31% respectively. The majority of games were posted in the -1 to -9.5 bracket.

In the final case, if the spread was an oddsmaker underdog between +24 and +35 and the underdog was considered a system favorite on my site (contradicting the oddsmaker), picking the underdog to cover produced a 77.78% result.

The overall number of games for the past two years that fit the criteria was 548 games. 412 won, 125 lost, 11 pushed. The overall winpct was 76.72%. If using a $100 game wager per game as a flat bet per game, discounting the pushes (since no money would be won or lost), $53,700 would have been wagered. The total gains would be $37,080 and the total losses would be $12,500. The net gains would be $24,580.

The goal this year is to use a similar wagering structure and ATS criteria. However, I'm still working through all of the losses to find any correlating trends that worked against the system. My goal is to produce a 3-5% additive value to the current results.

The ATS calculations for all other markers showed little to no promise as providing an edge when comparing them against both systems. Therefore, those ATS markers are not posted.

These are for College Only. I'll post the NFL results by next weekend.

I was describing the breakdown example of the ML AI, not the ATS. 78% is the base probability for all ML scenarios the AI resolves.

ATS is much more complicated. What I want to see when I look at ATS is the following:

Breakdown comparison for each team by scenario.

If Team A is an power 5 team and an oddsmaker favorite playing at home against another power 5 team. If the ATS is -19.5 as an example -

What is the probability for Team A as a favorite?
What is the probability for Team A as a home team?
What is the probability for Team A against a P5 opponent?
What is the probability for Team A where a cover scenario is -19.5 or greater?
What is the historical cover scenario probability for a P5 vs P5 playing at home as a -19.5 favorite?

The same probability is shown for the opponent as well.

Additionally, I want to see the points avg for each scenario above or below the cover margin for each team.

Now I have a basic understanding of which team has shown a true advantage in this match-up.

Lastly, line movement has to be factored in as well.

Will this relationship help me win more on the ATS? It will be tested and adjusted. I won't assume anything at this point. Neither should you.

Joel,

I get your logic on the ML betting scenarios and if you can really pick near 80%, and get lines better than -350, then you can make a few nickles.

However, you clearly talked about ATS "cover" in the post (see below). Have you found correlations between your system picks and line covers?

I ask since picking winners in NCAA football is often easy. But picking ATS winners and beating the vig is a whole different story.

What has your backtests shown you? Seems like all the data work you do wouldn't be worth it just for betting ML favs whenever you find line value. Now, if you can pick ATS winners at 55-60% then you'd really have something. Historically how well have you done and are you going to post/track your picks going forward?
