Guys . . . New project I am beta-testing this week . . . next week we will launch live - with ESPN.com distribution and national radio distribution . . . tell me what you like, what you'd like to see added, and anything which is not clear to you . . .
All sports fans have opinions, but only bookmakers and professional bettors back their opinions with big money. Each week, the most famous names in Las Vegas sports betting provide Pregame.com with their private power rankings. These are the secret numbers that directly influence millions of dollars of action each week. VEGAS RANKINGS are calculated using a proprietary algorithm – generating the final word on what teams Vegas believes are truly the best, plus what teams are being incorrectly valued by the public’s losing bias.

* TRUE POWER tells you how good Vegas thinks a team really is. True Power (home team) plus Home Field Advantage minus True Power (away team) can be used to project the score of any game.
* BETTOR BIAS tells you by how many points the public overvalues (positive numbers) or undervalues (negative numbers) a team based upon illogical biases.
* POINT SPREAD POWER is the combination of True Power and Bettor Bias. Include home field advantage to project who Vegas would favor in any game.
