In watching sports, it is very common for fans to have recency bias especially if fans are new. They might not have watched certain important events so they end up only believing what they have witnessed from recently. If a team wins the latest match, fans might think they are already at the best form of their careers.
In sports betting, this can hinder you from making rational decisions. Sometimes, people fall for short clips cut specifically to make an athlete look good or cool. This is very common on reels or tiktok. How would you combat recency bias? Or do you even believe that recency bias is a thing? or do you believe a team or athlete is only as good as their latest match?
I hadn`t such problems. It is bad for analyze to watch reels. If you want to make good analyze - you ought to search information about previous matches, last matches between these teams, injures, transfers, coach changes, etc. You need all information you can get for at least last season, better - last two seasons. Last 1-2-3 matches can give you useful information if it was some serious injures/illness or transfers. That`s all.
