This tool uses past game results to predict future results.  The assumption is that specific situations that have historically delivered winning results will deliver winning results when the situation arises again in the future.

On the Top Trends page you will see information like:

Play ON  KENT ST  using the money line in All games as a favorite
Record: 42-6  for the last three seasons (+31.55 units)

And this is what it all means:

CBB =  abbreviation for the sport type, in this case, College Basket Ball.
 
(725) KENT ST @ (726) BUFFALO = The teams and their Nevada rotation numbers.

Play ON  KENT ST  using the money line in All games as a favorite = the betting advice given.

Record: 42-6  for the last three seasons = the record over the last three seasons that quantifies the advice given.
 
(+31.55 units) =  this is the calculated units of profit had the player wagered one unit on every game in the particular trend, for eg. if I bet $1 on Kent State on the money line in every game where Kent State was the favorite over the last three seasons, I would have made a profit of $31.55.

Note: Sometimes a negative figure may be listed for the units of profit.  In these cases, the advice is to play against a team that has displayed a consistently bad record hsitorically for the particular trend.
