A team is "Due" theory

[Karayilan9]

Not really a theory, just a terrible idea that I see being given as a reason for picking a side from time to time.

A team is never "due", a losing team doesn't win a game because they are "due", this way of thinking is like throwing your cash on a bonfire then complaining why your moneys going up in flames.

Its better to follow the streak, a team can lose all season, yes there are teams that are so bad that they wont win a single road game for the entire season.

Rant over

Agreed. You bet the "due" your thru.

if that is ever somenoe's angle, then they deserve to lose their money.

Yeah, every season you can find a couple of teams that won't win one road game for the whole season and its not just in the small unheard of leagues. For example in the EPL this season, Hull didn't win one away game, Burnley only won once and only drew once.

I use the due theory a lot

It works in sports other than baseball
