Or you see things where in football where this team has one the last 100 games while leading by 10 in the fourth quarter while now the score is tied and the other team is driving down to win. Those stats mean nothing at all they can still lose if there was no trend at all

It’s like in the playoffs they said the Steelers haven’t lost a Monday night game at home since 1993 lol it doesn’t matter they still lost doesn’t give them a edge at all

Couple days ago I seen BR betting post that the Washington wizards don’t win back to back games they were 1-41 on b2b since 2023 and I always say when it looks that easy it’s never that easy so I took wizards and they won! 😂 everyone in the score app chat was regurgitating the same trend before the game started

See those RED bars? This is me betting.
@mard7218Trends are information. Ignoring them is stupid
@EquiaposeI can’t believe people still think sports betting isn’t profitable, even though in 2026 we have tipsters like Megalodon Tips and Gribaldi Bets being profitable every single month, and people still question it lol.
@SnowboardingPlanetall im hearing is that this s is impossible and im just gonna lose money
@matratzacHe’s not saying trends are bad or good. He’s trying to explain to us how to “read” a trend. This dude is an elite ball knower
@foxtrot7714So how should I go about betting ?
@Divine_feminineThese trend scenarios unrealistic because you would never take the same player every time back to back for the same prop
@yomomma..Trends are your friend
Til they aren’t
Nah I make bank off player prop trends. If you play sports you know if you’re hot you’re just hot.
@Manny0404I feel you, but if someone famous dies....take Nick Castellanos for a HR.
@kangtheconqueror9545I think trends can be useful but you can't bet them blindly. The comparison to roulette doesn't really work because those aren't actually trends, humans just like to see trends where there aren't any. The odds of red and black are still 50/50 each time. With humans, like in props, trends can be real.
@paulweeldreyer7457I really don't understand the point of this video, you make the point but at the same time you lose it.
What you're calling "trends" are statistical facts. Yes of course there's many things you have to take in account for but MATH never lies. Lets take LeBron scoring under 10 for example.
You would almost never bet his U10 line. Because factually, Over 10 will hit nearly every time. It's where his age and lack of caring is where you have to start factoring in.
This video of your is dum acting like statistical data is meaningless. No one says math is the end of all you have to account for.
5/6 Up & down Trends+Minutes+TeamRank/Off&Def rank+Injuries+B2B+rivalry+C vs C 😂 some many variables to think about
@romelegend2334lol thanks for the shout out to my website https://youtu.be/eT9HNTan6Hw?si=GYfSAoPpWP1KFmRZ&t=41
Trends only should serve as a compass - not an answer sheet. The context behind the numbers matters more. Ultimately, the price you pay (odds) for the play itself is the most important aspect.
Good video.
Great video but how do we beat that instead of not narrowing down trends
@rosslv__fitThe roulette thing I’ve made thousands off of. That’s a proven way to beat roulette. Just don’t patience. Actually never lost
@wiserise1393can you do a video where you break down a game or a heavy slate day. how do you choose quality games to break down on a heavy slate day
@IampmjPlease it's all manipulated so that the house wins more than "us". I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to believe that something is rigged in the name of MONEY...
...that doesn't mean you can't be profitable....but it's no different than the forex market which is 100% manipulated (and again...people still profit).
You’d think “trends” would be known to be idiotic for beginning sports better. Rodd from pick dawgs is notorious for betting these. “Bet the under for Clemson home games while playing west coast teams on Tuesday nights.” 🤦♂️
@beatingu8347Yooo I needed that NHL trap breakdown 😂
@Allthedeets7Never bet on a team that is 10-0 against the spread last 10 against a team that’s 0-10 last 10, bet on the team that’s 0-10, it has 100% hit rate 🎉
@cardman4342This is to throw you off
@Catch-T-Wayalways bet under
@TC.....guys just bet Haaland, Mbappe and Kane to score singles every week. These three don't care about anything else in the world. They are not like NBA lazy bones, they will try to scored at 90th minute even winning 3-0.
@bermudatriangle94I like the cleverness with the counter, but using the logic you provided in this video, we can predict — based on the data and commonality of those words — that you mostly likely will be using those words again in other/future videos.
@SOABASSASSINHe's definitely going to start the next sentence with "and" or "but"
I'll take -2600 odds
The ending was frickin perfect
@justinportillo242That first example is a no brainer 😂 getting shorthanded goals NEVER happen would never bet on that
@813TampaI agree for the most part. However, the best sport to bet ATS is college basketball after trends are developed.
@MrNoName-13Pls I have a question. What qualifies that underdog has covered a spread of e.g 5 between a teaser and pleaser bet. Which is correct for either teaser or pleaser separately: underdog must lose by 0,1,2,3,4,5 or 1,2,3,4,5 or 0,1,2,3,4 or 1,2,3,4? An expert should pls tell me which goes for both teaser and pleaser thanks 🙏
@oluwaseunakanbi8317sure it's been said before but fantasy players live on trends.
@marcosc7451TRENDS ARE ONLY RELEVANT FROM 3 GAMES TO 8/9 GAMES
@seanmurphy1578If trends were helpful then we would see a lot more nerds getting rich from just plugging information into a computer
@mikehennessy6766Trends do work until I decide to bet on it.
@drof1462WHAT TF ARE THOSE NUMBERS IN THE CORNER OF THE VIDEO MAKE THEM STOP
@dontfadetjrSample size is so important when evaluating trends
@dennisgodman9732I disagree I use trends on sports betting and it works for me. I make sure I have at least 2 years of data.
@themoney5362yea this is why dabble and prizepicks display 5 game stats
@sthhtx8297I love seeing posts where people look at the past five years for trends whilst the teams have completely different rosters lol. Trends are absolute trash and especially for baseball, which is a sport of huge variance. It's always funny when espn gives some kind of trend stat like this team is 11-7 in their last 18 games or whatever lol. Why are they using that specific number? Why not 20? It's fools gold.
