There are certain situations where it is hitting 75% or higher. For example, if the actual line shows a home dog getting 5 points but I have the line calculated where the home dog should be getting 10 pts, it is 10 - 2 over the past 16 days (Atlanta and Denver would be picks tonite on this situation). Here is what I have for Friday:

Pure ATS System: Hou (55%-21%)Orl (63%-43%), Bos (61%-51%), NY (50%-50%), Clev (75%-39%), Atl(75%-30%), Minn (47%-33%),Den(56%-44%),Sac(53%-37%), Phil (44%-20%), Char(75%-70%), LAC(60%-33%), Por(41%-66%), Utah (53%-47%)

shep - I have been tracking two systems. The one that I mentioned to you just purely looks at ATS numbers. The team with the better H/A ATS in that spot is the play. Right now that system is tracking at 65% (79 - 42). I think it might have been around 70% when I mentioned it to you.

The other system I am using has a combination of ATS percentages (Home/Away, L5 and against current game's point spread) as well as several stats including FG%, H/A point differential, rebounds, etc. and assign point values based on the degree of difference (i.e. if one team had a 2% difference in FG% that would be 1 point but if the difference was greater than 5% they might get 2 points). Also factor in home court and back to back games. With this I come up with my projected line and compare it to game line to determine what team to take. I then apply a set of rules to the calculated line vs. actual line to come up with the selection.

been looking into your system, and just wondering how you determine the plays... is there a certain % comparing Home/Away ATS that is your cutoff, or just any winning record?

looking at Friday's games, it seems like these fit: Houston (21-11), Atl (17-10), Clev (23-11), Phil (19-12), LAC (19-11), Por (16-10)... couple others weren't quite as good, and Philly i wasn't sure about because Dal doesn't actually have a losing ATS record at home... just curious how you break it down...

my system would have: Clev, Den, Port... considering adding Orlando to the system in some form...
