So a fellow degenerate gambler friend of mine, Broncos625, noticed a trend in the NBA using ESPN's accuscore system, using the percentages with the o/u and the spread. When the percentage is 60%+, it becomes a play. In NBA, it's 12-2-2 since he began watching and 7-2-1 since starting betting. I wanted to try this system for CBB, because he didn't want to track all of the games and do the leg work, and I don't blame him but if it's profitable I will do it. Yesterday was my first card, and I went 7-1 using this system.
Now I bought some points in some of the games today, which in retrospect is manipulation of the system, but all of my plays except Troy was above 60% prior to buying points. I just like Troy, they haven't failed me yet, so that won't count on the overall accuscore record. Unofficial pick. Now, todays picks and percentages are
[827] VIRGINIA TECH +6½-120 (B+½)- 60.1% at +5.5 on accuscore, bookmaker had it at 6, and i moved it to 6.5.
[846] TROY +1½-140 (B+1½)- 59% at a pick em, but i like it. Bought points, which I'm assuming would move it into the 60th percentile plus. This pick does not count against the accuscore record however, as stated above. Unofficial.
[847] TOTAL o121½-110
(ILLINOIS ST vrs NORTHERN IOWA)-64.5%!!!!!!!!
[852] GEORGE MASON -8½-130 (B+1)-61.7% at -8.5, bookmaker had it at 9.5 so bought a point.
[855] PORTLAND U +8½-120 (B+½)-60.3% at +8, bought .5 points.
Four official picks today, one unofficial. YTD 7-1. <!-- / message -->
