New system: play against media hype

[swisher33]

Betting against the teams who get overhyped by the media makes perfect senses.


Could somebody run a test to see Cleveland's and Bostons 2008 record. They were good, but the media overhyped them.

Boston 43-39 ATS
Cleveland 50-32 ATS

Boston probably would have been even better had Garnett not been injured, they had a cold run when that happened.

I found teams ats record.

America's teams- Teams with huge icon like Lebron and Kobe and teams on the East coast who are frequently shown on ESPN like Boston and New york have positive ATS records:

Boston 43-39
Cleveland 50-32
Lakers 42-39
knicks 47-34

182-144
The Lakers record is only 52%, but that was the worst record here. The combine record is 55.8%
If you bet 2% of our payroll on every game.

Does anybody know of free software that would let me take a closer look at this data?
