Betting Systems - Revenge Games

Teams seeking same season revenge usually cover their games when the team seeking revenge is at home. Although the spread is usually shaded against them, these teams cover nonetheless. In the National Football League, where rarely do teams face each more than once, this angle does not fully work. In the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, this angle works the best. In the college sports of NCAAF and NCAAB, teams who got humiliated in the past year usually exact vengeance on their opponent the following year (especially if the team seeking revenge is at home).

One instance in the NFL where a team does very well in revenge games is seen in Bill
Belichick’s New England Patriots. Belichick is a very proud coach and is almost flawless in same season revenge games. He is a mastermind and exposes the weaknesses of other teams and exploits them rather easily.

In the NBA, division rivals meet 4 times a year. Teams who have lost 3 straight usually do not lose the 4th game. These teams have too much pride on the line and will not usually be swept by the team that beat them 3 times prior in the year. Some factors that make this triple-revenge angle stronger include: If the team seeking revenge is at home, if the team seeking revenge is on a winning streak, and if the team seeking revenge is vying for playoff position.

In the MLB, if a division rival is matched up with a rival team in a 4 game series and one team has lost the first 3 games, the 4th game usually goes to the other team. This angle also works strongest if the team seeking triple-revenge is at home. Pitching matchups do not usually matter in these types of situations, thus, betting on a team to avoid a sweep at +money is a very good bet.

College sports, both in the NCAAF and NCAAB, afford great drama and suspense. Teams who get humiliated in one year, usually return the favor in the following year. Since these players more so play for school pride, and not necessarily for money, these intense matchups usually are very entertaining and drama-filled. If the team seeking revenge is at home, this angle becomes that much better. Not only do we have the team seeking revenge comfortably at home, we also have the home crowd jeering at the opposing visiting team. Likewise, college teams do not usually bode well on the road.

In summary, go for teams seeking same season revenge in the professional sports, and in college, look at what the previous years have revealed to determine one’s bets.
