these trends are for the most part meaningless... not only because they make no sense logically, but also because the sample sizes next to these trends are so tiny..

In addition, if you had an extensive database, lets say the one that statfox uses for their foxsheet systems, it is often easy to find one very strong trend which supports team A against team B, and one equally strong trend which backs team B against team A..

I'd say most all of these trends that poster "atsdatabase" posts across the street are extensive "datamining" and over the long term these trends are for the most part meaningless..

so i'd say royalfan is doing a lot of people in here a service
That is Royalfan for you, ever the philathropist.

Welcome to EOG. Glad to have you here. I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future.
