RAYMOND REPORT METHODOLOGY & DEFINITIONS
To maximize the utility of these previews, bettors must understand the core ATS Stats analytical pillars:
- C.O.W. (CHANCE OF WINNING): This is a percentage-based probability derived from a 10-year database of similar situational matchups (e.g., Home Favorite, after a loss, versus a division opponent).
- PVI (PREDICTIVE VALUE INDEX): A proprietary power rating that measures the strength of a team’s schedule against their performance. A negative PVI (e.g., -10) indicates a high-tier team, while a positive PVI (e.g., +10) indicates a lower-tier team.
- THE VALUE REPORT: We compare the PVI “Fair Market Price” against the current Vegas Line. If our Fair Price is -150 and the book is offering -130, we have identified a high-value opportunity.
- 80% CLUB: Identifying trends that have occurred in at least 80% of historical instances under the exact same game conditions.
BETTING STRATEGY: Focus on the “A-Tier” teams (Rangers, Mavericks, Warriors) when they show a positive value overlay on the PVI scale. For the NHL matchup, the Rangers represent the highest confidence pick of the day due to the goaltending disparity and the PVI value gap.
