College basketball ATS research

A structured system for analyzing betting situations.

Predator’s Edge evaluates historical college basketball games using clearly defined pregame conditions. It measures how teams performed against the spread when the same types of conditions occurred together, then checks the current daily slate for comparable situations.

The basic unit

What is a predicate?

A predicate converts one piece of pregame information into a consistent condition that can be tested across the historical archive.

One factual, testable condition

A predicate asks a question that can be answered using only information known before tipoff. Predator can combine several predicates, while requiring every condition in the group to be true.

Predicate + Predicate + PredicateWhen all selected conditions are true, the game enters that historical sample.
Signal families

Sixteen recurring historical situations

Each family represents proprietary pregame research. Select any card to read the approved profile; exact formulas remain private.

Green class

Predator Signals

Situations where the selected team historically covered the spread more frequently.

Red class

Prey Signals

The selected team is the potentially vulnerable side; a Prey signal does not necessarily predict an outright loss.

Statistics are historical backtest results, not live tracked performance. Cover percentage excludes pushes. Historical performance does not guarantee future results.

How the system operates

From historical sample to daily signal

Predator separates research from selection. A qualifying situation is evidence to review, not an automatic wager.

01 · RecordPreserve pregame context

Odds, location, ratings, rest, and prior results are stored as they were known before the game.

02 · EvaluateApply predicate groups

The same logical definition is applied consistently to every eligible historical team-game.

03 · MeasureGrade against the spread

Predator calculates wins, losses, pushes, cover percentage, sample size, and average ATS margin.

04 · MonitorMatch the daily slate

Current games that satisfy a validated family receive a signal for further review.

Reading the board

Signals, not automatic bets

Predator applies judgment after a game qualifies. Not every signal becomes a selection.

Green signal

The selected side matches a historical profile that covered at a strong rate.

Red signal

The selected side matches a historical profile that frequently failed to cover. It is context, not an automatic play on the opponent.

Historical results are descriptive, do not guarantee future performance, and are not betting advice.
