Dr. Bob NBA
I no longer handicap the NBA, as I decided a few years ago to devote all of my attention to College Basketball.
Dr. Bob College Basketball
College Basketball Best Bets: 2497-2096-74 on a Star Basis for +183.2 Stars the last 8 seasons!
I have been very profitable on my College Basketball Best Bets over the years (+471.0 Stars the last 27 seasons) but starting with the 2020-21 season the College Basketball plays were based on a new model that tested incredibly well (832-636-29 for 56.7%) over the previous 4 seasons. The model was tested on seasons not used to derive the model to avoid back-fitting.
The first five seasons using that predictive matchup model produced good results on Best Bets (1614-1350-42, 54.5%) despite being an unlucky 14-34-3 on games decided by overtime (instead of 33-15-3 on those games had they been graded at the end of regulation) and winning only 47.7% of the close games (225-247-42 on Best Bets decided by less than 3 points) instead of the 50% expected in the long run.
Had we won 50% of the close games and had those games altered due to OT (i.e. dogs not covering) produce the results they would have in regulation then we’d have been 55.5% winners the last five seasons, which is incredibly good in Basketball. The new model has won despite the bad luck – particularly in the last three seasons (+88.95 Stars on Best Bets) and I expect even better results in the future.
We also release Opinions, which are recommended to be played at 0.5 Stars each, and Opinions are now 1272-1069-36 (54.3%) for +96.1 Stars over the previous five seasons.
Five Seasons with new matchup model: Best Bets are 1614-1350-42 (54.5%) and Opinions are 1272-1069-36 (54.3%).
