The Bias Rankings
Through 1989

I have come up with a way to rank teams in order of success related to expenses. Bottom line, only money matters to the owners, and you know it! The hard part about this was finding a way to relate those two factors, as none of them exsist in fbb. Thou shall be calleth The Bias Value!
To calculate the income, a number of factors wer taken into acount. First of all the revenue generated from the last season, which is represented by the win rating ($500,00 for every point generated). In addition, every team earns money from a hardcore fanbase that was built up over the years. For every year in the Playoffs, those fans support the team with $1,000,000. Another $2,000.000 for every SSBL Championship. Accomplishments from 1989 were not taken into account, as they are already represented in the win rating.
To calculate the expenses, I simply took the team salary and add a flat fee of $5.000.000 for general expenses of the team (staff, maintenace, road trips etc.).
In other words, the formula is as follows:

Income = (Win Rating x 500,000 + Years In Playoffs x 1,000,000 + SSBL Championships x 2,000,000)
Expenditure = (Team Salary + 5,000,000)
The Bias Value = Income / Expenditure


To start it off, I will throw you the averages in some categories as well as the best and worst team in each category:

Average Bias Value: 0,727
Average Income: $23,344,828
Average Fanbase Income: $0
Average Expenditure: $32,053,037

Highest Income: Washington Bullets
Lowest Income: Indiana Pacers / Dallas Mavericks
Highest Fanbase Income: -
Lowest Fanbase Income: -
Lowest Expenditure: Dallas Mavericks
Highest Expenditure: San Antonio Spurs


But enough for now, lets get to the actual rankings. The number in brackets represents the figure last season.

Nice. Cool to see my team in the top 10. Only 4 teams made money this season :O

What is the fanbase income though? and it would be great if you place the Bias value for each team but its ok if you dont, its pretty simple to do anyway. Mine's .80
