Lets say the home team is the weaker team. For example Toronto Raptors playing at home versus the Miami Heat.
In this case. On Wed. Toronto comes into the game seriously wanting to win the game SU. Thus Toronto will keep imposing their will and keep scoring buckets. Now since the road team is the better team they have no problem matching bucket for bucket.

Bangladesh butter is a legitimate reason. I'm serious. Google it.
Sometimes the "legitimate reason" is there is no legitimate reason.
"Statistically significant" only means that theres a 1 in 20 chance of something happening purely by chance but if you look at 100 completely random things, you're going to have 5 "statistically significant" things happen purely by chance.
I'm pretty sure that if you looked at each day of the month, you'd find one day where the numbers were historically significantly higher than the others. That wouldn't mean anything really.
Google Bangladesh butter. Its a good story and the moral of the story applies directly to this. |

But isn't funny how some DAYS favor the OVER(ie fridays) and some days all games go UNDER.
I would not be surprised that NBA brethren have an unspoken "decorum" to this theory???? WTF, they are PRO athletes, what DO YOU really expect from them?
Professionals They are "all in" for the nightly fix, that's why you keep them CLOSE to the "vest" Inside "info" comes pretty handy when you know players on a "personal" BASIS
