Not being a downer, just asking a real question.
How does how you do against the spread tell you anything about your program ?
You could win ALL your games and still be the worst in ATS. I'd take that.
ATS data may help betters decide to place a bet or not, but I can't see anything logical that says you want to be high on this list or not.
If you are amongst the top in ATE that means that you are consistently outperforming expectations.
Sports books on the macro level are VERY good at the spread. The ultimate goal for a sports book is to get equal money on both sides of the bet so the losers pay the winners and the house gets its cut. So they set the line to entice betting on both sides. When it’s lopsided, the house is at risk that’s why they move the line with the money.
So if the line is “expectation” even if that expectation is for you to lose you’re either going to outperform or underperform.
Outperforming is usually better in sports.
Again, if you’re really wondering if it’s good a thing, look at the company…..
