Hey guys,

So, last week I shared my plays for the first time. Went 1-4 ATS -3.4 Units.
Basically, I capped games based off of all the bs I'm fed by the media
day in and day out.

However, i'm a numbers guy and at heart and decided that I needed to
create my own custom rankings based on a few important factors I don't
see many people using.

To make a long story short, these rankings seem to find lines that are
not set correctly and provide value.

The Theory/System
The system is simple. I apply the two teams custom rankings.
Then add 3.0 points for Home field advantage (considering 3.5)
and factor in the line.

Qualifying play is anything with a difference of 7.0 or greater.

I've also attached a simple spreadsheet that shows the qualifying plays
from last week and their results. (11-2-1)*

I will also include a spreadsheet later this week that will show the qualifying plays
for this week.

The Reason/Benefit
After seeing the promising results I figured I would share these projections with you guys here.

I'm pretty excited about what i've seen so far, but the continual success of this system is all
speculation at this point. The way I see it, if it pans out and continues to be successful then we
all get a chance to cash in on it.

If not, just another thread to be lost in the abyss ;)

The Rankings
These rankings were based on pre-season factors as well as last year's
stats.

I will update these rankings after week 3 or week 4 and then update each
week thereafter.

I think your rankings looks pretty good, but it's easy to see how not making adjustments for the week #1 games (and how they make reflect season-long improvements or regression) has contributed to the value you are seeing on your system selections. Which isn't to say I think all the selections are poor, I like several of them still.

Thanks for the kind words cruncher. These rankings are based off of last year stats with a few small adjustments based on returning starters etc.

I'm excited to to get through few weeks of stats for this season.

Either way, the results were surprising. I'd like to trim down the plays to 5-7/week. I think I may add in one more system i've been working on
with YPP and YPPT for efficiency.

I don't understand.

You went 1-4 and you're asking if this is sustainable?

What's to be considered?

Hi Tsm... i'm sorry for any confusion. I would advise re-reading the original post again for clarification.

Also, open up the provided spreadsheet.

The system went 11-2-1..... My personal picks (not system related) went 1-4.

Good luck sir

I think your rankings are way off. TCU is NOT the #1 team in the nation. Not with the defensive losses they sustained last week. If you wait until week 4 to update, you are going to pass up some great wagering opportunities.

Been reading this forum a couple years. Just started posting. But one thing i've learned.... Your insight is irrelevant. Negativity follows you around.

So while I am open to all criticism, I should've put a side note in that you and your opinions are not welcome or relevant.

Please do not post in my thread in the future as your insight is not welcome or valued.

All others are welcome.

Thanks,
Conniseur

Doing your own power ratings there will be things or teams in your ratings that are off the radar..........which is part of the reason people do them (to spot teams and value below the surface)............

I had Texas A&M ranked in the Top 10 before they even played a game this year...........Seemed crazy at first, but they justified it somewhat and now they are getting more recognition.......
Either that or Arizona State was over-rated.

Indeed. Clearly you are Well-Seasoned when it comes to handicapping and looking into new angles.

Definitely a few surprising ratings when it all shakes out. But numbers and results don't lie.

Thanks for the input.

Maybe results don't, but numbers sure do.

Ever heard the phrase, "Figures lie and liars figure"?

Whether these pan out or not, it's great to see something like this on the forums. Agree with whoever else said it, I'd like to see these updated weekly as the early games often have the most value for a power rating approach.

OP, I like It.

. Thepredictiontracker.com does something similar with tons of power ratings each week

Power ratings did really really well week 1 it seems

Curious about the comment of power ratings doing well early in season. Makes some sense but which power ratings are mostly just last year's final ratings

If you can come up with a ranking system that works with solid numbers, say 60% & higher, I wouldn't share how it works with the public.......once anything you have is in the public eye, it falls apart.

You can share the plays all year long, & your ranking numbers have a lot of promise if you have your own little way of coming up with them thats different than the others out there, but never share the recipe of how you actually come up with your numbers.....just my opinion tho.....

Good luck this season & hope it all works out for you.......

Thanks for the advice bud. I've had this model for many years. Had great success with it in the past. But been away from
all of this for about 6-7 years.

Just dabbled from time to time to make games more fun to watch. I have confidence in this process. But only time will
tell once again.

Thanks again for the advice.

Not a bad week, but could've been better. I've noticed the >7 and <10 plays seem to be more consistent.

I will continue to segregate these two to help all following the thread/system to find the most value.

(Week 2 ATS >7 <10 Plays: 8-4-0) - OVERALL: 15-4-0 - 79%

(Week 2 ATS >10 Plays: 4-4-0) - OVERALL: 8-6-1 - 57%

All System Plays: 23-10-1 70%

Will have next weeks plays up soon.

Hope everyone had a good week wagering.
