Quant Fact Predictions now 35-20 (63.6%)

With our predictions for both the Stanley Cup Finals and NBA Finals correct, our quant fact predictions improve to 35-20, or 63.6%.  Our work shows the power of quantifying concepts related to sports psychology.  Sometimes our championship factors agree with the general consensus, but sometimes we pick against generally-accepted favorites.  As one of our readers said, "I'll take 65% all day long!"

The factors we focus on are more easily coached -- and can help improve results.  These include a focus on the fundamentals, minimizing errors, and methods to improve confidence.

Stay tuned for our work focusing on baseball pitching -- 
and how pitchers can improve their results.
