Correct Team Total Picks (1)

  • Cleveland Cavaliers OVER 128.4 → Scored 138 (+9.6)
HIGH — CLE's 100% OVER trend held. Now 4/6 OVER (still 100% excluding pushes).

Wrong Team Total Picks (3)

  • Denver Nuggets OVER 125.8 → Scored 122 (-3.8) | HIGH — Close miss. DEN's
  • "+10.5 avg diff" was inflated by a few big games. MEM limited scoring despite missing key players.
  • Boston Celtics UNDER 119.2 → Scored 124 (+4.8) | HIGH — BOS broke their
  • UNDER trend (was 0% OVER in 5 games). CHI at 67% team total OVER was classified "not strong opposite" (below 70% threshold) but was enough to push BOS over.
  • Golden State Warriors UNDER 107.1 → Scored 113 (+5.9) | HIGH — GSW broke
  • their UNDER trend. SAS scored 126 on away B2B — tanking teams give up easy points, inflating opponent scoring which lifts the depleted team's total too.

    Wrong Game Total Picks (1)

    Detroit Pistons @ Toronto Raptors

  • Pick: OVER 224
  • Vegas: 222.7 | Actual: 208
  • Confidence: MEDIUM
  • Factors: Both teams >60% OVER rate (DET 67%, TOR 100%)
  • Margin: -14.7 pts
  • Why wrong: TOR scored only 95 (implied was 110.6, -15.6 under). TOR's 100%
  • OVER rate was a 3-game sample that regressed. DET also scored below implied (113 vs 112.1 = roughly push). The blowout nature (DET won by 18) killed pace — losing team stopped competing.
  • Root cause: Small-sample OVER trends (<4 games) remain unreliable. The
  • "both teams >60% OVER" trigger needs minimum 4+ games per team.


    Cumulative Stats

  • Last 5 Days: 0%, 100%, 0%, 0%, 0%

  • Lessons Learned

  • 2026-02-11: 0/1 game totals, 1/4 team totals = 1/5 combined (20%). Worst day.
  • 2026-02-11: "Both teams >60% OVER" trigger failed on DET@TOR (UNDER -14.7).
  • TOR 100% OVER was only 3 games — small sample regressed. **Require 4+ games minimum for auto-OVER trigger.**
  • 2026-02-11: HIGH confidence team totals went 1/4 (25%). Team total rate trends
  • are not as reliable as expected at HIGH confidence.
  • 2026-02-11: Both UNDER team total picks (BOS, GSW) lost. UNDER trends broke
  • when opponent had 60%+ team total OVER rate (CHI 67%, SAS 67%). **Lower the "opponent not strong opposite" threshold from 70% to 60%.**
  • 2026-02-11: GSW UNDER failed (+5.9) because tanking teams playing at home
  • against away-B2B opponents create inflated game pace — visitors score easily, inflating both totals.
  • 2026-02-11: DEN OVER 125.8 missed by only -3.8. DEN's "+10.5 avg diff" was
  • skewed by outlier games. Regression to mean is real — high avg diffs will come down.
  • 2026-02-11: CLE OVER 128.4 correct (+9.6) — CLE now 4 OVER / 0 UNDER / 2 push
  • out of 6. Most reliable team total OVER team remains CLE.
  • 2026-02-11: IND 7/7 OVER (100%) — hit OVER even on away B2B (IND@BKN +10.4).
  • Only team with 7+ game OVER streak.
  • 2026-02-11: Slate went 9 OVER / 4 UNDER / 1 PUSH (69% OVER). 30+ PPG missing
  • games went 5/7 OVER — injury-heavy slates lean OVER.
  • 2026-02-11: MEDIUM confidence game total OVER now 0/2 lifetime (DET@TOR,
  • earlier miss). MEDIUM OVER picks are not working.
