This system helps you analyze matchups like financial markets — identifying value opportunities, managing risk exposure, and
compounding returns through discipline and data.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned investor in the sports markets, the Raymond Report teaches you to trade smarter — not riskier.
1. 💰 Shop for Value ($) and Play the Percentages (%)
In this system, odds are stock prices. Every line reflects market perception — your job is to find when that perception is mispriced.
- Value ($): Identify when the public or bookmaker overvalues one side. Example: If the Jets are +130 vs the Dolphins -150, ask if that price matches the true probability.
- Percentages (%): Long-term winning and covering percentages reveal real consistency — much like companies’ earnings reports.
👉 Investor’s Tip: Don’t buy hype. Buy value.
2. 🏆 Classify Teams into A, B, and C Tiers
Think of your betting portfolio in Wall Street tiers:
- A-Type (Blue Chips – 60%+ win rate): Consistent, elite, and often expensive. You’re paying a premium for reliability.
- B-Type (Mid-Caps – 50–59%): Balanced, often undervalued, and offering the best risk vs. reward opportunities.
- C-Type (Penny Stocks – under 49%): Volatile, high-risk, and suitable only in perfect market setups (e.g., home vs. another C-type).
👉 Investor’s Tip: Build your core around A and B-types — use C-types sparingly when the market overreacts.
3. 📈 Track Market Cycles: Bullish, Neutral, Bearish
Teams move in cycles — just like stocks. The Raymond Report tracks these trends in 7-game windows to identify when teams are rising, steady, or due for reversal.
- Bullish (7-0, 6-1, 5-2): Hot streaks — profitable but may be overpriced.
- Neutral (4-3, 3-4): Balanced and often undervalued. Great for contrarian plays.
- Bearish (0-7, 1-6, 2-5): Downtrending. Avoid unless there’s strong correction value.
👉 Investor’s Tip: Don’t chase momentum — anticipate corrections.
4. 📊 Use the Value Index (VI)
The Value Index (VI) is your market thermometer — a snapshot showing whether a team is overbought, fair value, or oversold in betting terms.
- Bullish VI: Overbought — proceed cautiously.
- Neutral VI: Fair value — where the smartest plays hide.
- Bearish VI: Oversold — contrarians often find value here.
👉 Investor’s Tip: Great value often hides where the public refuses to look.
5. 💹 Portfolio & Money Management
Just as investors manage exposure across sectors, bettors must manage units and bankroll exposure based on situation, cycle, and location.
- Use units, not emotions.
- Scale exposure based on team type and game scenario.
- Treat risky plays like speculative stocks — keep exposure small.
Example:
B-Type at home in a neutral cycle → 4-unit position
C-Type on the road in a bearish cycle → 1-unit or pass
👉 Investor’s Tip: Risk management isn’t flashy — but it’s how portfolios survive long-term.
6. ⚖️ Golden Rules of the Market
- Never fade A-Type teams at home unless the line screams value — it’s like shorting Apple before an earnings beat.
- Apply the 24-Hour Rule: After a big win or loss, step back and reset before reinvesting.
- No edge = no trade. Every wager must have measurable value.
- Avoid MLB doubleheaders. Volatility from lineup changes and bullpen fatigue creates unnecessary risk.
7. 🔎 Filter the Noise — Trade on Credible Info Only
The market is full of noise. Successful bettors separate signal from static.
- ❌ Ignore hype: social media trends, “locks,” and emotional plays.
- ✅ Trust credible intel: line movement, injury reports, and schedule strength.
- 🧭 Discipline check: challenge your bias — don’t confirm it.
👉 Investor’s Tip: Professionals pay for verified data. Amateurs trade opinions.
