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?
I wait for another game. If they still win, that might possibly change my mind. But if they lose, that gives them a small chance to win the entire series. Many cases like this happen in the NBA, and only a few manage to break through and take the lead despite struggles at the start. But if you trust the team and have been supporting them since the start, then stay with them. If ever they lose, that won't make you regret it, as you bet not just for money but as support to them.
