OTS - Own The Spread FAQ's

What are VAO's

A VAO is a Value Arbitrage Opportunity. Basically the higher the value, the more opportunity in that matchup. We are not providing picks here at OTS, we just provide the most likely outcome of the game and then analyze the odds and lines for the game to see which matchup the best value for your money.

What is the USAS?

It stands for the Ultimate Sports Arbitrage Software. It is the highly guarded software that we have developed over the last 3 years that is responsible for taking the pertinent gathered information and creating the VAO's. It is able to predict the most likely score of a game, but it keeps track of how well the teams do and how well the software does with specific teams. So it makes adjustments with the team as the season goes along to become more accurate.

If it is so great why don't you use it to make millions?

We have been using it to make enough money to support ourselves and our ventures. Yet in the end, it is not psychic, it just provides tools and a guideline to follow. We do not have a gamblers heart, and it has predicted scores to amazing accuracy, us as individuals have profited from it over the last 2 years. What we don't feel comfortable doing, and never will is spending our time betting large amounts of money on any side. It is our policy to spend our time insuring we provide the best possible predictions for our clients and not at sportsbooks.

How has it done in the past, do you have statistics?

We have enough statistics to make even the most fervent statistician vomit, and we have a large library over the past 3 years of work. The reason why we waited this long to come out with it, is we wanted to get the process, the formulas, the software to the point we feel very confident with its predictions. After 2 and a half seasons we now feel ready to share it with others.

Have you shared the VAO's with anyone else prior to this release?

Yes we have, and they used the information to make a nice profit for themselves over the years. They were our beta testers in a sense. They are free to share their results, we will do so if they want us to. They not only signed a confidentiality agreement but we agreed on our part not to share their information without their consent.

How come the game outcome didn't turn out exactly like you said?

We are not Nostradamus, we cannot predict the future. What we do here is using math, statistics, information, injuries, experience, weather and previous performance of the players, coaches, and sometimes even refs try to come up with the most probable scores for any specific matchup. Your job as the potential bettor is to use that information and the plethora of other information we provide for you to make more informed and educated bets. Our software/service is here to be used as a tool to increase your win percentage, which we are certain it will do if you are a disciplined bettor, and it will probably do if you are a risk-loving gambler. There are many factors we take into consideration, injuries, location, previous performance, trends, history of the matchup, coaches tendencies, and too many more to list. Yet the software cannot predict how any player is going to perform at any one moment. Nor can it predict unusual events that might happen during the coarse of any game, nobody can.

Do you have any statistics on the teams or matchups available?

Yes we have all of them and display all viable stats for the teams in any matchup you are able to view. Just click on the details link on the right of any matchup for the matchup stats. You can also click on the name of the team for the teams stat page. Our stats not only include their season statistics, but also our softwares VAO stats.

Can I just purchase the sofware and not go through your site?

Absolutely not.
