How do you read the Index?

How do you read the Index?

To: AllIn8 and others new to the index:

The index is kind of like a power rating. It has been around for many years. The differential of ratings determines a point spread.

The first team listed is the top-rated team with the point difference (rounded) in parenthesis. The asterisk (*) indicates the home team.

I use the index, but not exclusively. It does have a good track record long term, but I found it to be a useful tool to use along with your own handicapping methods or others whose opinions you value, and comparing index values to actual point spreads. Use discretion and be prudent, upsets do happen!

Good Luck!
