For example, let’s say one team starts off slow and falls behind early, but then they suddenly make a strong comeback. The game becomes close, and at that point the betting line gives you pretty good value if you pick them to win.
Would you place your bet on that team just because they have the momentum on their side, or do you think it’s just an illusion and not really a factor in the outcome?
This thing you explained happened during the just conclude WAFCON were Nigeria was losing to Morocco 2 - 0 first half. It was like Nigeria side would not be able to win against the Moroccan players but all of a sudden the game changed and Nigeria won the match just like that.
ItI believe many gamblers actually placed a bet on Nigeria to win and the way the match started, many people lost hope because in such a situation, it could be very difficult to equalise not to talk of winning the match but it was a different ball game altogether Nigeria did not only equalised, but the Falcons won the match.
FilotFor those who held on to their bet believing that Nigeria would win,
winwon their bet but for those who couldn't bear the risk could not stand to bear the pain of not being patient till the end of the match
lost their bet.
