It's something I pay attention too but I don't cap strictly based on trends but today made me realize something and that's... I need to start paying attention a little harder. I'll give a unit to every trend that hit and deduct one if it missed.

Yankees vs. Rangers
*Texas 0-5 on road vs. NY.
*Over has hit in 5-7 in their last 7 games
Tex 2 NY 8
+2 units

LAD vs. Pitt
*LAD 4-1 on road vs Pitt
*Over 5-6
LAD 5 Pitt 4
+2 units

Tor vs CHW
*Tor 15-3 in last 18 vs. Chw @ home
*Over 4-6
Tor 3 CHW2
Even

Miami vs Philly
*Philly 0-5 in last 5 games in Mia
Philly 4 Miami 0
-1 unit

SD vs. Az
*12-18 games gonende
+1 unit

Houston vs. Cubs
*Houston 1-8 vs Cubs
* Unders hit 5-5 in Cubs last 5 games
Hou 1 Cubs 7 (I played under here and missed by .5) unreal
Even

Det vs. Twins
*Det 5-2 last 7 against Twins
Det 3 Minn 9
-1 unit

LAA vs Cle
*Laa 4-1 at home vs Cle
-1 unit
LAA 2 Cle 6

TB vs Sea
*16-22 have gone under in TB games
*Sea 2-9 vs TB
TB 4 Sea 1
+2 units

SF vs. Wash
*SF 1-4 last 5 playing Wash
SF 2 Wash 14
+1unit

Mil vs Col
* Mil 5-15 in last 20 in Colorado
Mil 6 Col 9
+1 unit

So that would be a six unit increase for the day. One of those that missed was a obvious one to stay away from. CHW was not gonna go over. I was just kind of surprised how these trends hit so hard today. I'll be looking at these a little harder now.

Where did you find those trends?

[EVPlus]

Tread carefully here. Vegas knows these and other trends and adjusts accordingly. I've capped plenty of games in which trends helped; and I've capped plenty of games in which the trends pointed towards a certain outcome and the EXACT opposite took place.

The take-home message is to incorporate trends in your final decision to play or pass; but there must be other variables factored in. And, of course, you need to know that being on the right side is never a guarantee.

eBettalent, I have a couple good sources but I like to use sportsbettingstats.com. They have the lowdown on EVERYTHING.

EV, I hear what you're saying and I totally agree. I would never place a bet on a trend alone but they're something to consider when making a decision. I think the Mil/Col trend surprised me the most. I thought Fiers was gonna go in and handle buisness but apparently Colorado has the Brew Crews number.

Looking at today's trends I think I'm gonna have to take the under with TB

Trends are Great if you bet them since they started trending, just because something is 16-5 for example does t mean diddly and like someone else said, Vegas has accounted for it

[Mantle7]

I'm not saying I bet them but I do consider them when I'm placing a bet.What made me start paying attention to them a little more was the Pirates/SD series.
