Hornets vs Clippers score 88 total points in first half? So the obvious would be Live beat the under for the game????

They score 82 in the third Quarter. How’s that even possible. That’s a point ever 8 to 9 seconds,

We are all in a simulation- your fricked either way you go

You need to read up on Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s research on reversion to the mean. It involves a story of Israeli fighter pilots, so it’s actually more interesting than it sounds haha



Check out Judgement Under Uncertainty:Heuristics and Biases. It might as well be an instruction manual on why Vegas keeps beating you

You could have just kept your money in your pocket instead of being a degenerate gambler


People like you blow my mind. You GAMBLED your money. You LOST. Why act surprised about it? Nothing is ever certain except uncertainty



But Vegas

You’re asking how it’s possible you lost a bet you are sure to lose 50% of the time?

sounds like the people that took the first half under and 3rd quarter over are doing just fine.

I’m a bit confused here. The live over/unders account for the current score, so it’s not like you’re betting the pregame total.

I’m not sure with your wording…but are you not aware the O/U adjusts in real time with live betting?

I’m pretty sure NBA games don’t have 80 plus quarters on the regular.
