Action Network has developed an elite betting algorithm that targets roughly 50 college basketball games per year and lights up for Michigan State vs. Illinois on Friday night.
The proprietary algorithm has gone 488-370-22 (57% win rate) since 2005, returning an annual 11% on investment during that timeframe.
Since 2005, if you had wagered $500 on the roughly 50 college basketball games per season that have fit this algorithm, you'd be up more than $45,000.
We don't recommend using this betting algorithm as an alternative to investing — variance is a much sturdier constraint in sports gambling compared to the financial markets — but similar principles apply in regard to gains over a long time horizon.
