Sportpunter has developed a
new NBA Model, in the same lines as it previous models. It
has included data going back to 1994. We have analysed odds
going back three years and the results are pretty good. These
are shown below:

Betting is on the line and using the kelly system based on
a $1,000 bank on full constant kelly betting\. Hence in three
years we've turned $1,000 into $16,500. A conservative %ROI
of 3.1% over the three years, but the large amount of bets
means a healthy profit.
This can be increased to 3.2% ROI when deciding
to only bet on 5% overlays or greater. An analysis of the
different overlays is shown below:
