Win the 1stQtr, Win the game.

[HoulihansTX]

Has anyone noticed this? Its been going on since the Conference Finals.

So if you are making a 2ndH play, just watch for this.

I knew My Celtics ML had no chance after the 1st Qtr in Game 3.

[shari91]

That is honestly the only reason I took LA 1Q and 1H in this game. I felt they were going to win and after Boston snapped LA's 1Q winning streak at home, I had to take them in this one. If I take Boston in game 4, I'll take them 1Q and 1H as well. Seems there's no flip flopping leads so far.

[HoulihansTX]

Celtics win 1st Qtr. Celtics should win the games. That's the trend.

[shari91]

Celtics win 1st Qtr. Celtics should win the games. That's the trend.

The trend is shit.

[HoulihansTX]

Got Lake Show huh?

[shari91]

Got Lake Show huh?

Just for a bit. Spent a lot more staggering 1-10 points and 10+ points props on either side.

[HoulihansTX]

The trend comes in again.

But I bet against it. WOW, I'm just giving money away.

Game is far from over

[HoulihansTX]

I'm just making 2ndH bets with this trend from now on. I'm done with this shit.

[Congruency]

The trend is shit.

[HoulihansTX]

I will be basing my 2ndH play on this trend.

[mundane]

[sweethook]

2-2 i think

[mundane]

2-2 i think

Yeap

[MrSink]

nope i cant find any relations between game winner and first quarter winner
go go bos Beat LA Beat LA

[HoulihansTX]

Trust me, I'm not saying that the teams win the game, b/c they win the first quarter.

I'm saying the first quarter winner, has correlated to the game winner.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. I understand that.

Game 1
1stQtr: 21-26 Lakers // LAkers win game

Game 2
1stQtr: 29-22 Celtics // Celtics Win

Game 3
1stQtr: 26-17 Lakers // Lakers Win

Game 4
1stQtr: 19-16 Celtics // Celtics Win


I'm not urging anyone to bet this way, but it is a wieird trend I have found to hold value for 2ndH bets

[HoulihansTX]

22-20 Celtics.

Trend points to Celtics winning the game.

I will be on them 2ndH.

[Cappinpicks]

Lakers reverse this trend, don't be fooled.

[HoulihansTX]

2ndH: Celtics +2

[sweethook]

why is LA only -1- ?? is it a trap i think so

[Cappinpicks]

Unload on the lakers, no way around it

[las8]

Im glad someone else noticed this. celtics first quarter was saved on that charge by odom. now lets get a strong 2nd half without all these turn overs!

[Eatminus]

Interesting. Can't say I would bet the C's second half in this game just because they won the first quarter though. BOL

[Torsim]

Very interesting tend, never would've thought to look at something like this,
