How big is your sample size ..... What was the success rate of teams covering the -5 ..... Is it opening numbers or closing numbers .....

    Unfortunateley, if you do your research, the same results will apply to 3,4,5,6, with the strongest lean on 2, you must of pulled five out of a hat .. your thread is mis-leading, and cannot  have any success ratio beyond pure "luck"

    But you're forgeting the inside temperature...

    The results are better if the inside temp. is 3.5 above the outside temp.
