I agree with you broadly, but this appears overstated relative to the eye-test. What are the confounding variables driving the change from -9.02 to +4.95 NetRtg?
@SmokeTheBooks
I might have misunderstood, but I interpreted ‘Ignore limits’ to mean I wouldn’t face sportsbook limits on individual bets per account, rather than implying I am able to bet unlimited amounts without moving the line or first collecting funds.
Given that, I’d prefer 20 bets with
"C’est la vie in French means that’s how things happen, in betting CLV means the same, when you understand it and appreciate it things start to happen." 💎
Finally found a name for this mathematical process!!
“If you balance your bets such that you profit the same regardless of the result, this is nicknamed the Dutch scalp.”

How would you attempt to flesh this out in the data? Intuitively, I agree it's likely worth more than 50%, but in what ways would you attempt to tune that weight relative to self created points?
To recap:
1. SGA/JDub ISOs were often against 3 to 5 Mavs defenders in the paint
2. OKC teammates could rarely capitalize on advantages due to...
a) reluctance to shoot 3s over closeouts
b) reluctance to shoot pull-up 2s over peel switches
c) good DAL scheme
NBA Finals 2022 pre game 1 projection.
Assumes Full Ws roster. Assumes 22 minutes of Robert Williams.
True coinflip.
Ws at just over 50%.
Cs in 6 or Ws in 7 basically even.
Robert Williams is the key.
More Rob? Cs win
Less Rob? Ws win
Why Adelman?
LA ran organized offense 55%+ of the time in 26% of games this year.
20-3 in those games. 87% win %.
I’ve logged 12 DEN 2022-24 games. They went 55%+ in 11/12 games w/an avg % of 60%.
He’s their offensive coordinator. It will translate & does fit LA’s personnel.

I like where your head is at. This feels more aligned to the way I would attack the problem. What do you consider the major drawbacks to this approach?

Thanks for gathering this data, sharing it here, and adding all the right sorts of context. This is exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for!
