but depends on the line, games where the favorite is projected to win SU over 90% should go OT much less often

[chandler1981]

RM18,
Can you explain what you are saying? I think I am reading it wrong. Aren't all favorites projected to win all the time?

[ShamsWoof10]

but depends on the line, games where the favorite is projected to win SU over 90% should go OT much less often

I would think this is factored in... I would think all the games of all spreads are factored in...

Are you saying a lower spread has a better chance of going into OT then a high spread..?

[rm18]

I mean games with big spreads are less likely to go OT because they are less likely to be close.

[rm18]

I don't have any data, but I would think high scoring games go OT more often though just off of memory.

You would have to be a retard to not figure this out intuitively.

Yes, if a game goes OVER in the first half it has a higher chance OT!

What's the probability of a game going to overtime in the NBA?

If it's not too much work, can you group them by spreads?

Thanks.

[shasso]

A bit over 6% makes sence since the lines for a draw are originally 15 and 15 is 1/0,0666. Some books use 12 tho and some change it on the basis if match is supposed to be close or not.

cool info, so about 6 out of every 100 go OT

[pokernut9999]

And all this info helps who ?

Can I win more bets knowing this ?

[imgv94]

Lol

[rm18]

And all this info helps who ?

you should factor this in to betting totals, game and second half

[pokernut9999]

Yea , I think I will just skip totals all together now. If I had this info earlier I would have never bet a total.
