And more importantly, how long should a large lead take to decimate?
The reason I ask is because I've bet about 4 basketball games in 2 weeks (not a huge basketball bettor) and in each game, the team that I bet on had a double digit lead only to lose the lead and the game. I understand large leads (particularly by bad teams) can be blown. But the way they were blown and in the amount of time they were blown in ridiculous.
Game 1: GT vs BC in the 1st round of the ACC championship game - GT leading 15 - 0 and continue to lead by 15 half way through the first half. They lose the lead by HT and go on to lose by over 20
Game 2: Cleveland vs Miami - Cleveland leads by 27 with a little over 6 minutes left in the 3rd. By the 10 minute mark in the 4th quarter, Cleveland is losing and go on to lose the game.
Game 3: Syracuse vs Louisville in the BIG 10 Championship - Up by 16 with like 15 minutes left in the game and lose by DD.
Like I said, I've seen comebacks. But these losses cannot happen this often. Yesterday's loss was unbearable. Up 10, 15, or even 20 I could get it. BUT 27 POINTS!!!!
How do you guys bet this game?
