The system (Aaron Brown, 2006 -- implemented verbatim)
Three factors from public data, scored per game: 1. Last-game turnovers: +1 to a team with net giveaways in its last
game, −1 with net takeaways. Turnovers are mostly luck; last week's
sloppy team is underrated, last week's opportunist is overrated. 2. Season-to-date covers: +1 to a team that has covered less often
than not, −1 to a chronic coverer. Books shade lines against popular
winners so their fans lose slowly. 3. Line movement: +1 to the team the market has moved against since
the line first posted. Bettors over-react to news.
Home total minus away total: +3 or more, bet home; −3 or less, bet
away; anything between, pass. Historical record as published by Brown:

performance guarantees nothing.
