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?
Momentum is definitely a thing. It gives the players some confidence and they are more precise with their moves because of the found confidence. But if I initially made a bet on the other team, there must also be a valid reason so I might still stick with that. Sometimes even with momentum the win never comes their way. Momentum is built and not just given randomly or suddenly.
