I live in the Philly area and root for all the local teams but it seems my win % is horrible when trying to pick a winner. The only team I'm having an luck with is the Flyers because they basically are a win-at-home/lose-on-the-road team this year. As far as Eagles, Sixers and those goddamn Phillies, I might as well fade myself! Villanova looked like a contender on Thursday, pretender on Saturday. You would think that the more you know about a team, the better you would be able to handicap them. Its not only Philly teams either. The more that I follow a team, the more info I get from stats, etc, the worse my handicapping gets.
I'm starting to believe that the way to win in sports betting is to follow trends such as home/away %, watch the injury lists, and over/under stats, following the hot teams such as ATL's streak in Jan.
Anyone else have a rule of thumb of staying away from your favorite teams? (And screw all you guys who think the problem is I live near Philly)
