7-Star Titan on UMASS
 
This situational betting system reinforces the bet on UMASS. It has earned an 89-40 (69%) against the spread (ATS) record over the last five seasons and requires us to bet on any team (UMASS in this matchup) after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games and is now facing an opponent that has gone under the total by 42 or more points total in their last seven games.

Some quick Hitters:
Knicks are 4-15 ATS when facing teams who are called for two or more fouls-per-game than their opponents over the last three seasons.

 Knicks are 17-39 ATS after one or more consecutive unders over the last two seasons.

Portland is 37-21 ATS in home games following a poor shooting game making 37% or less of their shot attempts.
 
From the machine learning side of things, Portland is projected to score at least 111 points and the Knicks are 13-43 ATS when they have allowed 11 or more points.

This is a Big Ten Conference matchup that will be highly competitive and will provide plenty of entertainment. This is Penn State’s shot at knocking off on eof the best teams in the conference and the nation and get their name noticed as a contender.

The Maryland Terrapins are off to a perfect 10-0 record and have earned an even 5-5 against-the-spread (ATS) record to begin the season. They were quite fortunate to come away with a win in their last game, which was the conference home opener against Illinois. They needed a huge rally to overcome a 15-point second-half deficit and made the winning free throw with just 2.1 seconds left in the game.  So, they are beatable is what we learned from that game.

Penn State is off to a surprising 7-2 start to their season and have earned a 5-3 ATS record with one the game against Wagner not having a betting line. They were hammered by Ohio State in their last game by the final score of 106-74, but the first half was competitive.

·        PSU is a rock solid 13-2 ATS after two consecutive games with 12 or fewer assists over the last three seasons.

·        PSU is 10-2 ATS after a combined score of 155 points or more over the last three seasons.

·        PSU is 20-9 ATS after playing a game as an underdog over the last three seasons.

Some quick Hitters:
Kings are 9-0 ATS when facing good teams that are outscoring their opponents by 3 or more points-per-game this season.

Kings are a solid 14-3 ATS (+10.7 Units) after having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games over the last 2 seasons.

7-Star bet on Cal Poly Slo
NCAAM Hardwood
10:00 PM EST, December 7, 2019

 Siena is a money-burning 3-12 ATS facing poor teams that are outscored by their opponents by 4 or more points-per-game over the last three seasons; 1-9 ATS after playing 3 consecutive games as a road underdog.

From the predictive side Siena is an imperfect 0-6 ATS in road games when they grab four to nine more rebounds than their opponents in a game over the last three seasons.

Some quick Hitters:
Missouri is 8-1 ATS in games in which they make a minimum of 79% of their free throw attempts.

Temple is 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) in home games in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons.

The betting system has earned 72% winning bets on a 50-19 ATS record and instructs us to play on An underdog (MISSOURI) after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games against opponent after going under the total by 42 or more points total in their last seven games.

Portland State is just 1-10 ATS when playing only their 2nd game in eight days over the last two seasons.

7-Star bet on the Golden State Warriors
NBA: GS vs Chicago
8:05 PM EST, December 6, 2019

Here is a another situational betting system that has earned a 35-10 ATS record for 80% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (GOLDEN STATE) in non-conference games off three or more consecutive road losses.

Bulls are a money-burning 6-19 ATS in home games after a game where they covered the spread over the last 2 seasons.

Boylen is 8-24 ATS in home games when facing poor defensive teams allowing 106 or more points-per-game as the coach of the Bulls.

From the machine learning summaries, the Warriors are 8-1 ATS for 89% winning bets when they have had the better, more efficient assist-to-turnover ratio and scored 111 or more points as a road dog since 2015.

There will be an over abundance of Bulldogs running the court tonight when the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in this inter-conference matchup. Sorry, had to write it.

LT is off to a 5-2 start and have an even 3-3 against the spread (ATS) record with one game not being lined. MS is off to a solid 6-1 start and after failing to cover the spread in their first two games, they have ripped off five consecutive covers.

LT is a member of the Conference-USA and have an extremely balanced team on the offensive end. Senior guard Kalob Ledoux leads the team in scoring averaging 12 points-per-game and is tied for the team-high averaging 3.9 rebounds-per-game. They have tremendous team leadership with four Seniors starting and ranking in the top-5 in scoring.

LT has seven players averaging 8.4 or more points-per-game and they have used 12 and 13-player rotations in recent games. I love the depth and the fact that they will be the fresher team down the stretch in the second half. They have 74% of the minutes played and 73% of the points scored from last season returning to this team.

·        LT is an amazing 13-2 using the money line after scoring 75 or more points in four consecutive games.

MS head coach Howland is just 3-10 using the money line after covering four or five of their last six games against the spread. 

No.6 Ohio State vs No. 2 North Carolina
Big Ten vs ACC Challenge
9:30 PM EST
Dean E. Smith Center, Chapel Hill, NC
NCAA Basketball Odds: UNC favored by 4

Even though we are barely a month into the NCAA basketball season there have been some great matchups involving the best teams in the nation. This is another one to be sure and there will be more coming this weekend. Ohio State will open their Big Ten Conference schedule hosting Penn State this Saturday and UNC will be a guest of the National Champion Virginia Cavaliers.  

The Buckeyes are off to a 7-0 start and have covered the spread in six of these games. Their defense has been incredible as they have held every opponent to less than 37.5% shooting. They are an excellent ball handling team as well and have not had more than 15 turnovers in any game and have had four games committing 11 or fewer turnovers.

UNC is off to a 6-1 start but have covered only two games to the spread. They have a solid defense that has held every opponent, but one, to 38% or worse shooting from the field. They are a perennial leader in rebounding and this season is no different. They have had problems with turnovers, however, and this will be a significant reason OSU can win this game.

·        OSU is 8-1 ATS coming off two or more consecutive home wins in games played over the last two seasons.

·        OSU is 12-3 ATS facing team that are called for three or fewer fouls-per-game than their opponents in games played over the last three seasons.

Wisconsin vs North Carolina State
Big Ten vs ACC Challenge
PNC Arena, Raleigh, NC
9:15 PM EST
NCAA Basketball Odds: NC-State favored by 5 (-110)

The Wisconsin Badgers will be the guests in Raleigh tonight to play against the NC-State Wolfpack, which is part of the BIG-TEN vs ACC Challenge series of games. The Badgers are off to a 4-3 start and have covered just two of these seven games to the spread. The Wolfpack is off to a 5-2 start and have covered three of the seven games.

Wisconsin has a terrific defense and their entire game is fed off the defense. They have allowed an average of 61.7 points-per-game, which ranks 52nd in the nation. They have solid leadership on this team given that 70% of the minutes played and 62% of the points scored are on this team.

The Badgers are led by A Junior Forward in Nate Revers, who is 6-11 and 240 lbs and is averaging a team-high 15.4 points-per-game and a team-high 5.7 rebounds-per-game. He has plenty of support as four players are averaging 10 or more points-per-game and six players are averaging four or more rebounds-per-games. I love the depth that the Badgers have, which will be a reason they end up winning this game.

Here Are a Few Additional Tip-Ins

·        The Wolfpack is just 22-41 ATS in home games when facing strong free throw shooting teams making at least 72% of their attempts.

The Badgers are 16-6 ATS when playing with seven or more days of rest.

This situational betting system has earned a solid 63-31 ATS record good for 67% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet on home teams within three points of pick-em after having lost two of their last three games and has a win percentage between 51% and 60% and is playing against a winning record team.

Utah is 56-13-3 ATS for 81.2% winning bets when they have had the better, more efficient assists-to-turnover ratio and scored 111 or more points including 29-6-3 ATS in home games for 83% winning bets.

7-Star bet on the San Antonio Spurs
8:35 PM EST, December 3, 2019

Here is a another situational betting system that has earned a 38-14 ATS record for 73% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet against any team (Houston in this matchup) after two consecutive covers as a favorite, a good team winning between 60% to 75% and is now playing a struggling team winning between 25% to 40% of their games.

Under head coach Popovich the Spurs are a solid 47-24 ATS in a home game and coming off an embarassing blowout loss of 15 of more points.

This situational betting system has earned a solid 30-8 ATS record good for 79% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to bet against Any team (DALLAS) after beating the spread by 48 or more points total in their last seven games and are facing an opponent after going under the total by more than 12 points in two consecutive games.

The Northwestern Wildcats are a team that I believe is under rated and has the advantages to win this game against the Boston College Eagles.

Northwestern has posted a 3-3 record and are 2-4 ATS in these games. BC is an even 4-4 on the season and has posted a 3-5 ATS mark over these games. After covering the spread in the first three games they have lost five straight to the number and I think a sixth striaght ATS loss is forthcoming tonight

Northwestern has struggled on the offensive end this season, but that is because they lost a lot of players from last season. They have only 45% of the minutes played and 36% of the scoring having returned to this team. Despite ranking 290th in scoring offense averaging 63.8 points-per-game they are out scoring their opponents by an average eof 3-poits-per-game with a suffocating defense that ranks 94th allowing 63.8 points-per-game.

Northwestern has a size advantage on BC and their defense is much better.

·        BC is a near-imperfect 1-10 ATS in home games coming off two non-conference games in game splayed over the last two seasons.

·        BC is 5-14 ATS coming off a game in which they failed to cover the spread in games played over the last two seasons.  

This situational betting system has earned a solid 36-10 ATS record good for 78% winning bets over the last five seasons. Play on favorites that have a winning record on the season and is facing a team that was involved in a game that went over the posted total by 24 or more points and has a winning record between 60 and 75% on the season.

This bettig system improves to 24-4 ATS for 86% winning bets over the last five seasons.

Miami vs Illinois

7-Star Bet on the Fightin’ Illini

7:00 PM EST

WHAT DOES THE MACHINE HAVE FOR US? 

This situational query has earned an outstanding 59-13 ATS record for 82% winning bets over the last five seasons.

San Diego vs St. Bonaventure
Boca Raton Beach Classic
FAU Arena, Boca Raton, FL
9:00 PM EST
NCAA Basketball Pick: 7-Star Wager on SBU

This is a matchup of two teams struggling to play sound fundamental basketball. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are 2-4 and have earned a 2-3-1 ATS record. The San Diego Toreros are 3-5 and have posted a 4-3-1 ATS record.  

I am a bit surprised that San Diego is favored in this game. I had expected the Bonnies to be favored because they possess the much better defense. The Bonnies are allowing 65 points-per-game that ranks 117th best in the nation. The problem has been on the offensive end where they rank 324th of 353 Division-1 programs averaging 61.7 points-per-game and 333rd making just 38% of their field goal attempts.

I do see them shooting much better against a Toreros defense that allows 71 points-per-game that ranks 223rd in the nation. The Bonnies will get to the free throw line more than the Toreros and they make 80% of those free throw attempts that ranks 16th-best in the nation.

·        The Bonnies are 43-25 ATS in road games after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread.

·        The Bonnies are 39-19 ATS after two consecutive games with 12 or fewer assists.

·        The Bonnies are 36-20 ATS in low scoring games where both teams do not score more than 65 points.

10-STAR WAGER ON THE DENVER NUGGETS AS THEY TAKE ON THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS IN GAME-4 SET TO START AT 5:35 PM EST, SATURDAY APRIL 20.

This is Game-4 and the Spurs lead the Nuggets 2-1 in this best-of-seven Western Conference series. This is a game that Denver is projected to win outright and given this potential outcome I am recommending an alternative wager comprised of a 7.5-Star wager on the line and a 2.5-Star wager using the money line. The money line is currently at +150 and would pay back $375.00 for a $100 per star unit player. That would be added to the 7.5-star wager on the line that profits $750 and combined with the money line makes for a grand total of $1,125. 

From the machine learning side of the street the Nuggets are projected to score 111 or more points, made more three-point shots than the purs, and have 12 or fewer turnovers.  In past games where the Nuggets have met or exceeded these measures they have earned a 94-13 SU record winning the games by an average of 13.6 points and an 89-19-2 ATS mark for 82% wins and covering the spread by an average of 9.2 points.  If the game is in the playoffs, the Nuggets are a perfect 5-0 ATS covering the spread by an average of 17 points.

When we ask the query to return just playoff games, the results improve to a stronger 11-4 ATS result for 73.3% wins.

From the machine learning side of the street the Raptors are projected to score 111 or more points, and made more three-point shots than the Magic.  In past games where the Magic have met or exceeded these measures they have earned a 10-69 SU record losing the games by an average of 13.1 points and a 7-70-2 ATS mark for 9% wins and failing to cover the spread by an average of 12.7 points.

In addition to the 10-Star wager consider making an alternative combination wager using a 7-Star amount on the line and a 3-Star amount on the money line to take advantage of Auburn’s potential to win this game and advance to the Final Four.

This database situational query has earned a 59-22 ATS record for 73% wins since 1996 and instructs to play on a road team (Auburn) in the month of March that is coming off a 15-point upset win installed as a dog.

Auburn is the 2nd best 3-point shooting team in the nation averaging 11.6 made 3-point shots per game 63rd with a solid 1.220 assist-to-turnover ratio (ATR).

  (13) The University of California – Irvine versus (12) Oregon University Ducks

9:40 PM EST, March 24, 2019

South Region Second Round taking place at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA

Oregon favored by 4.5-points with a 124-point total 

10-Star play on Oregon

Preview, Adjusted Metrics, and Predictive Data

  Coming into the Tournament Oregon was ranked 35th-best team in the Tournament field based on opponent-adjusted team efficiency, 107th in opponent-adjusted offensive efficiency, 18th in opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency, and 328th in the opponent-adjusted pace of play metric. After their first-round win, they remain the 25th-best team in overall opponent-adjusted team efficiency, have moved up 18 spots to 89th in opponent-adjusted offensive efficiency, 18th in opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency, and 328th in the opponent-adjusted pace of play metric. These rankings are based on the entire pool of 353 Division-1 basketball programs unless otherwise noted as a ranking based on the 68 Tournament teams. 

After losing on February 28th to UCLA, Oregon, and a 15-12 record and essentially very little chance of being awarded an at-large bid to the Tournament. However, they have not lost since then winning 9 straight games and covered the spread in all nine. During this win streak, their offense steadily shot higher percentages I games and have shot over 52% in each of the last two games. Their defense has allowed two opponents to shoot better than 34% from the field during this stretch. 

UC-Irvine (UCI) has had an even greater win streak and are playing at their best levels of the season right now. They have won 17-straight games (12-5 ATS) and none were bigger than their upset of No, 4 seed Kansas State Friday. Entering the Tournament they ranked 66th in opponent-adjusted team efficiency, 129th in opponent-adjusted offensive efficiency, 56th in opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency, and 298th in the opponent-adjusted pace of play metric. After their first-round win they moved up to 54th in opponent-adjusted team efficiency, 111th in opponent-adjusted offensive efficiency, 56th in opponent-adjusted defensive efficiency, and 244th in the opponent-adjusted pace of play metric. There are no other teams remaining in the Tournament that is hotter than this pair and there will be a double-digit seed in the Sweet-16 Round.

For this game, my machine learning and algorithm tools recommend a play on the No. 12 seed Oregon Ducks giving 4.5 points over the No. 13 seed UCI Anteaters.

I use Python to generate situational queries that match the projections produced by the machine learning models. Searching for valuable Round 2 insight we learn that No. 10 seeds and higher are 17-5 ATS when favored and No, 13 seeds and higher whether favored or a dog is 7-40 SU and 13-33-1 ATS. So, both of these are supportive of Oregon and work against UCI. 

This database situational query has earned a 60-17 record for 78% over the last 22 seasons and instructs us to play against  a dog using the money line after beating the spread by 48 or more points in total over their last seven games and posses a win percentage of 80% and higher and are now facing an opponent with a win percentage between 60 and 80% for the season.

  7-Star Wager (5,7 and 10-Star scale) on the Tennessee Volunteers as they take on the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament set to start at 12:10 PM EST, March 24, 2019. 

Machine Learning Projections and Database Situational Queries

 Using overall Division-1 and Conference specific ranks for offensive and defensive performance metrics is a great start to finding game intelligence useful for forming wagering opportunities.  When efficiencies are added these metrics, the team’s opponents’ strengths, weakness, and pace of play are baked into the metrics and offer even greater insight.  Before the Tournament started Tennessee ranked 8th in overall team efficiencies, third in offensive efficiency, 31st in defensive efficiency, and 158th in pace of play metrics.  After their first-round win, Tennessee fell to the ninth-best overall team left in the Tournament, remained at third in offensive efficiency, fell to 34th in defensive efficiency, and fell to 164th in pace of play metrics. 

Iowa came into the Tournament ranked 36th in overall team efficiency, 15th in offensive efficiency, 115th in defensive efficiency, and 74th in pace of play metrics.  After their first-round win over No.7 seed Cincinnati 79-70, they now have moved up to 34th in overall team efficiency, 14th in offensive efficiency, and 72nd in pace of play metrics. 

The reason I am showing that Tennessee has fallen and Iowa risen in these ranks to reflect the fact the public sentiment has turned bearish on Tennessee and bullish on Iowa resulting in a very cheap betting on Tennessee line of 8-points.  Using some advanced mathematical applications, my line would show Tennessee as a 14-point favorite in this neutral court environment.  The 6-point differential between the market price of 8-points and my estimated price of 14-points is the discount that Vegas lines makers have anticipated for this matchup. 

I use Python and other tools to generate situational queries that match the projections produced by the machine learning models I have developed over many years.   Tennessee is expected to shoot at least 54% from the field, make at least 38% of their 3-points shots and potentially as high as 45%, and will score at least 81 points.  Iowa is 1-9 ATS when their opponents have shot 54% to 59% from the field and 0-6 ATS when their opponents have shot 38% to 45% from beyond the arc in games played over the last three seasons. Tennessee is a near-perfect 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) when they make 54% to 59% of their shots and 15-3 ATS (+11.7 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their 3-point attempts in games played over the last 2 seasons. When Tennessee has scored 81 or more points they have earned a 12-5 ATS record this season.

7-Star Wager (5,7 and 10-Star scale) on the Purdue Boilermakers (838) as they take on the Villanova Wildcats in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament set to start at 9:00 PM EST, March 23, 2019.

I use Python to generate situational queries that match the projections produced by the machine learning models. a Villanova is projected to take 54 to 62 shots, will make less than 44% of those shots, will shoot less than 38% from beyond the arc, and will have at least 4 more turnovers than Purdue. In past games where Villanova played under these projections has resulted in a terrible money-burning 7-21 SU record losing the game by an average of 9 points and 6-20-1 ATS for 23% and failing to cover the spread by an average of 9.7 points.

Purdue is expected to score at least 75 points and when combined with the defensive projections mentioned above has earned them a robust 35-0 SU record and a 26-3 ATS mark for 90% winners and has covered the spread by an average of 12.4 points.

As you can see from these analyses, the public sentiment has overvalued the defending Champions and severely undervalued the significantly better opponent. Last, I want to reiterate once again to consider placing a small wager on Purdue to win the Region.

Let us look at a few database situational queries that support Baylor in this first round matchup in the NCAA Tournament.  Baylor is a stout 8-2 ATS (+5.8 Units) versus excellent teams shooting at least 45% from the field and with a defense of allowing no more than 42% opponent shooting this season. Baylor is 35-3 SU and 19-4-1 ATS when making 11 or more 3-point shots and having the better assist-to-turnover ratio.

 This database situational query has earned a 33-9 ATS mark for 79% winners since 1996. The query instructs us to play against an underdog off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of 6 points or more and is a top-level team with an 80% or better win percentage and now playing a team with a winning record.

The Bulldogs are projected to score 75 to 80 points, make 48 to 53% of their shots, and have at least 7 more rebounds than the Flames. The Bulldogs are 9-1 ATS for 90% and covering the spread by an average of 9 points when they have met or exceeded these performance measures.

Wager Opportunity

  7-Star Wager (5,7 and 10-Star scale) on the Georgia State Panthers as they take on the Houston Cougars in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament set to start at 7:20 PM EST, March 22, 2019.

Also, consider an optional 2-Star wager using the money line as the machine learning projections have produced many scenarios where this game has the potential to be very close late in the game. At 6:1 odds a $200 wager returns $1200 and that is just far too attractive to pass up, in my opinion. 

Machine Learning Projections and Database Situational Queries

 From the machine learning side of this game there is a mountain of supporting analytics for the Panthers to cover the spread. The Panthers are a perfect 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) after 2 straight games allowing a shooting percentage of not higher than 37% over the last 2 seasons. They are 11-2 ATS when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 2 seasons; 18-5 ATS (+12.5 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons; 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) in road games when they score 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 2 seasons.

The Panthers have earned a 54-12 SU mark for 81% and a 41-15-3 ATS mark for 73% winners when they have scored 67 to 74 points and had the higher, more efficient assist to turnover ratio (ATR).
