An NBA Playoff Betting Angle

One of the most reliable betting angles in pro sports happens during the first round of the NBA playoffs. Teams that are down 0-2 (games) and returning to their home court for Game 3 are automatic bets whenever you see the situation.

Note the NBA plays a 2-2-1-1-1 format, which means Game 3 is always a change of venue.

By contrast, sports gamblers have no lobbying organization. Even the casino industry is unlikely to fight much on behalf of such a small sliver of market share interest.”
