Most of today's profitable sports bettors are using models to help them handicap. In this lesson in the Sharp Academy, you will learn how to build a Linear Regression model.Using the Linear Regression model you can find out which statistics have the most predictive qualities for any sport you are modeling. Combine these stats to build a model that can tell you what the scoring margin (spread) should be. Compare that to the actual line and see if there is value to be had.As you improve your skills you will get more creative and build better models. We would love to help you with any questions you may have.
