42-13-2 ...Thats the record for Friday Night DOGS in the NBA

[goldengreek]

These are the ATS records for the underdog for NBA games played on Fridays in the month of November :

11/05/10 10-2
11/12/10 6-2-1
11/19/10 9-2
11/26/10 9-2-1
12/03/10 8-5

That's a 42-13-2 total, a winning percentage of 76% just by blindy betting the dogs on Fridays in the NBA so far this year

Do you think it's because on Friday nights people are feeling great about the finished workweek and thus feel OVER optimistic, placing blind faith in favorites, pushing up lines higher than they should be?

It's like the Friday Effect in the stock markets...indices tend to end UP on Fridays due to overall optimism.

However, Mondays have a similarly opposite effect (called the Weekend Effect; exacerbated by three day long weekends). I wonder how sports dogs do on Mondays? Would general pessimism make dog plays extra profitable?

no clue

might have to do with the NBA players

Players want to go out, drink and fuk on a friday night...popin bottles in the club... on their minds ?

might be cause people are trying to build the bankroll for the weekend and the books know this and hurt them

honestly , i dont know why

fading the public on friday night in the nba has been profitable for me for many years.... But this year its on another level completely !!!
