So I've noticed that when teams go on a road trip, they tend to play against the Lakers and Clippers on back-to-back nights.
I was wondering if anyone knows where we can find a stat that shows the ATS record of the second game (based on whether the first game was a Win/Loss)?
Or something similar to this.
this form of linear thinking...that you look up past trends to forecast the future...doesnt lead to winners. every game is a fingerprint, its own entity, with its own unpredictable events (like turnovers, lax energy etc) its the same as the roulette wheel, where 5 reds in a row does not mean the next number is red.
i believe sports gambling texts call it the gamblers fallacy.

I know, I don't completely disagree
But past results may give some insight into what may happen later on
For example, let's say a team is 12-4 ATS
That means that they're being underestimated, which may continue on into the future (just look at the Cavs' record, bookmakers have been underestimating them quite a bit recently).
Also, I don't solely use past trends to forecast future performance. I do take them into account, along with many other factors.
