    Kenpom

    Hi everyone,

    Yesterday I was on Georgetown. Lost by 28 and 2 HA, I was wrong by 30 points.

    At least I didn't suffer it last night.

    But this morning, having a coffee with a friend, he told me -and showed- that he was 3 times his usual bet wirh Pittsburgh. The only reason, pittsburgh is ranked over 50 positions to Georgetown. And having Pittsburgh as a dog was just a big opportunity.

    I did hear about Kenpom last year, but didn't follow it, nor didn't any kind of research.

    My question to the forum is, is anyone using Kenpom to choose bets? Or as a filter? Choosingonly dogs? And the most important question, does it work?

    Today we have Tulsa as a 4 points underdog vs Marshall. Tulsa is ranked 165 and Marshall 219. Again over 50 ranks difference for the underdog. How wise do you think is to make a much higher bet than usual on Tulsa?

    Thanks for your comments

    I'd also like to add that Marshall is 0-9-1 ATS

    i use it to cap but do not follow it blindly- for example the game above- kempoms prediction in red, final score in blue- bigger difference in kenpom rankings than pit/uconn
