    Up-Down Theory Does It Work?

    One of best Theory's that use is the ''Up-Down Theory''suggests that teams that played poorly one week should be due for a regression the next, while a team that played above itself will come back down to earth. However, the market usually corrects the other way, assuming that a team that played poorly is a “bad team” and will be equally bad or even worse the next week while a team that won will continue to play well or improve. When a team coming off a statistically anomalous “bad” game goes up against a team that played over its head the week prior, then you have a classic Up-Down situation.

    For example, in Week 1 of the 2013 regular season Philadelphia blitzed Washington in a marquee road win. That same night San Diego played horribly in the second half while collapsing in a loss to Houston. The two teams played the following Sunday. And a spread that probably should’ve been 3.5 was inflated up to 7.5 because the assumption was that Philadelphia was trending up and San Diego was trending down. It was just the opposite. The Chargers bounced back (Up) while the Eagles slid back to reality (Down), and the result was an outright upset win for San Diego. Road favorite's are rarely a strong play for NFL bettors. But there are some teams that simply should never be favored when they play away from home. You never want to lay points on the road with teams that have a track record of wild inconsistency – turnovers, penalties, late-game meltdown, poor special teams, etc. These teams are usually enticing because of perceived “talent” advantages. But if they aren’t consistent and fundamentally sound, you don’t even want to think about betting on them away from home SBR members

    Conclude my thread, I would like to share this thought with you SBR members. I’m sure you’ve seen them online, heard through sports betting forums or various other online outlets, those posts or banners flashing the attention grabbing headline of the best betting system, or winning sports betting system, or we win 90% of our sports picks. The reality is that 80% of the sports betting systems in the market don’t work, or unqualified. I would even go on the line to say it is closer to 90% and the factors that play into their prediction systems or methods are why the majority of NFL betters lose. The unfortunate case with the handicapper market is that it’s a saturated market of self-proclaimed sports betting professionals claiming to have the latest sports betting system that produces the best winning picks and giving away with free picks The unfortunate, and fortunate case of the sports betting and handicapper industry is that the 80/20 business school rule applies.The reality is that 80% of the sports betting systems in the market don’t work, or unqualified. I would even go on the line to say it is closer to 90% and the factors that play into their prediction systems or methods are why the majority of NFL betters lose. Good power rating are where to go, I use J.J. Bascus[ Reno N.V.] power rating analysis considered the best 80% true.

    Unless I see actual statistics of this, I don't believe it. There is no magical formula to tell you when teams are going to play above average or below average. Each game is independent of any other just like in all gambling.

    Thanks for the insight. I guess my question would be, how do you evaluate teams in the 1st week of the season? I could see your suggestions being more effective in week 6 or 7, which allows the bettor to see if a team is under performing or over performing as well as accurately gauging whether a team is good or bad

    Thanks for your reply I evaluate teams in the 1st week of the season by comparing power ratings from 2013 to 1st game analysis by using J.J. Bascus[ Reno N.V.] power rating analysis report after the 1st games of the season considered the best 80% true. , I do not bet 1st week in NFL.

    In 1951, Binion's Horseshoe hosted a legendary heads-up poker match between poker legend Johnny Moss and wealthy gambler Nick "the Greek" Dandalos. The match went on for months and millions of dollars passed back and forth. Spectators came from all corners to watch, generating serious business for the casino.The World Series of Poker Comes to Binion's . In 1970, the World Series of Poker began. Originally conceptualized as a get together for poker greats who would determine among themselves who was the best, the main event Texas hold'em freezeout, begun in 1971, became the standard way to determine poker's world champion. However another champion arose in NBA & NFL Sports betting and his name was J.J. Bascus who determined himself as the best NFL & NBA sports handicapper in country. His power rating is considered the best 80% true. J.J. myself use too hang out with Lefty Rosenthal and Bob Martin who told us stories about how the line got ironed out before it was given to the rest of the world. The bar was Thoroughbred lounge owned by Bill Miller[Boxing promoter for strip fight of week at the silver slipper casino on the strip in the 70s} where we use meet.The sportsbook we use you hang out was right next door where we use make our bets Sammie Cohen's Santa Anita Sports Book across street from Stardust in 70s.***Note Sports Books Were not incorporated in strip hotels and downtown casinos then****} I probably leaned more about point spreads and money lines from some great old school sports betters there. A rule of thought "follow the money. "A another most important fact that I learned as a streetwise Kid growing up in Vegas is information[ reach out to ever body in your circle of influence in sports betting. I live in Las Vegas and alive and well, making my bets at Sports Book at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Well"Ladies" and"Gentlemen"of the 'Jury' [SBR Members] that's why I am 5-0 "With and Against the spread" in NBA Championship games. All my threads are posted with SBR sports Forum[NBA] & [NFL].
