I read from a poster today (here I think) about betting unders after the all star break. It kind of piqued my interest some so I did some investigating for the 4 days of games following the all star break. Here is what I found. If you bet every game for the under, you're record would have been as follows.
2012: 32-23 58.18%
2013: 38-20 65.55%
2014: 38-21 64.41%
2015: 32-22 59.26%
2016: 29-12 70.73% (not including today) looks like quite a few today are developing
Five Years Cumulative: 169-98 63.33%
Betting $100 per game at -110 odds you would have won $6120 in those 20 days.
I'm not big into systems. I've tried a ton of them in college hoops and haven't really come up with anything. I really do admire people who break down games and come out ahead. But thinking about this trend (I won't call it a system) made me wonder why this is such a strong trend. I came up with 2 reasons. First, pitchers are well rested, but in the groove of the season. Second, hitters haven't faced live pitching for 4 or 5 days and their timing is off. The trend kind of fell apart after the 1st 4 days after the break. Anyway, this will be filed away for next year.
