One trend that I'm seeing

[ksnooksk]

Is that teams with multiple days of rest off are playing very sluggish in their first game back. Just some thoughts.

[Speedy88]

Could be that teams are getting so used to such a fast paced schedule that when they get 2-3 days off in a row, it really throws their rhythm off.

[YouHave2outs]

do you have a few recent examples that are fresh in your mind?

[ksnooksk]

Yeah tonight with the Thunder.

[ksnooksk]

It must be a rhythm thing.

[YouHave2outs]

Yeah tonight with the Thunder.

that game is easy to bet on rlm tho...i'm not even great in nba and it was a big bet for me based on that and cumatmebrah and bleek, any others?

only reason i ask is cuz u seem to know wut ur sayin in general

[bleek88]

The clippers just wanted it more 2nite, thats all

[bleek88]

in a 7 game series the thunder would roll

[ksnooksk]

Yeah the rlm + those 2 square asses being on the side made this game my biggest bet of the season so far.

As more of these situations come up I will update this.

[Speedy88]

Tomorrow keep an eye on these teams:

Knicks - havent played since Saturday (2 days rest)
Warriors - havent played since Friday (3 days rest)
Kings - havent played since Saturday (2 days rest)
Bobcats - havent played since Saturday (2 days rest)

[grizzy]

OKC spent weekend in LA. Probably just partied...definitely did not show up tonight.

make a thread and keep a record tho

[ksnooksk]

Yeah there was 2 teams the other day that fell into this but I can't remember off hand.

[tokio]

Lakers lost against Bucks after 2 days rest.

Knicks
Warriors
Kings
Bobcats

cant depend on these teams to begin with so going against them (using this trend) would be easy $

Yeah but kings at warriors so maybe the under 199 a good bet. Both teams off rytmn. Or maybe 1st half or 1st q under???? But maybe sloppy d. Maybe I'll watch.

I wouldn't start betting on this system. We don't even have any results for it. If I were you, I'd just keep an eye on it. Unless someone has some stats on how well teams do on 2-3 days rest, I wouldn't start blindy betting on this system. But it would be interesting to keep track and see how these teams fair.

[therocket]

I think ill watch but good thinking.

[ksnooksk]

Yeah I'm not saying to bet on this. Just something I've noticed. And yeah it was the Lakers who I was thinking of.

looks like it. On their twitters , myspace and facebook all they talked about was the sights and sounds of LA.. nothing about the actual game.

LA was just a field trip for the thunder

A good way to test theories like this are using Sports Database.

Your trend is simple and looks like this. This is basically all teams with 2 days or more of rest. It can be manipulated from there.
