NBA Triple Revenge
By Kris Lazaro (5/4/2007)
NBA (national basketball association) triple revenge is perhaps the strongest angle in sports betting. It occurs when the same coast teams meet for the 4th time in the season, whereby one teams has beaten the other three times in a row. The latter team gets major motivation during this fourth game and usually annihilates their opposition. The author, though, has noticed an interesting side angle that is most strongest: in that backing the underdog seeking triple revenge.
Favorites seeking triple revenge do not fair as well as underdogs in the same spot. The author has isolated a specific situation, whereby 7-point underdogs do quite well. This fact can be explained by the moneyline angle (sportsbooks have severely inflated such lines, in anticipation of a flood of money on the moneyline favorite). In other words, if a favored team is ‘destined’ to win, such a team will have an overly inflated spread. The underdog, who is also seeking triple revenge, will play to their potential and cover the inflated line more readily.
Bettor bewares though: sometimes teams simply own other teams. A clear example of this is the Dallas Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies. To the author’s best recollection, the Mavericks have never lost to the Grizzlies, covering their games approximately 95% of the time. In this scenario, it would not be wise to back the Grizzlies in their fourth game of the season against the Mavs, because simply, the Grizz suck.
This angle, when combined with other confounding angles will create an especially strong play. Other factors to consider that may be in conjunction with this angle are playoff positioning, back-to-back games, et cetera. When other angles combine in one play, such a play can be a monstrous one. At season’s end, especially the NBA season, a plethora of plays open up for the sports bettor.
A lot of money can be made if the right situations align and the savvy sports bettor is able to identify and isolate them and play them accordingly.
In closing, NBA triple revenge is one of the best angles to consider in betting sports. It develops at the end of the NBA season and, if used wisely, is a great way to make some serious money.
