Bettors often fall into the trap of looking at the team name, logo or color of the jerseys. Just because a team was great last year or even 1 month ago is NOT relevant TODAY. ALL teams good and bad go through peaks and valleys over the course of a long season.
Focus on current results the last 5 games in particular. Once you hit the one quarter pole of a season year to date stats are as meaningless as trends.
Analyze a game as if it were team A vs. team B. This will have you set a more accurate number on the game and in turn help you get a more accurate indication of value.
