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?
It is not an illusion, momentums are real and that's why come backs are real in sports. As long as the books are allowing to bet on them while in-game,
Then, I'll might give them a shot with any amount that I want to put to while the odds for them are pretty good and convincing.
I have watched many of these sporting events that had a decent comeback and that's why if there's a momentum and it is happening, it's a good catch to these games.
