Sports Betting's Revenge Factor

The Revenge Factor.

Yes, as you may already know, sports always has its fair share of rivalries to make each game more interesting than it already is.

For example, let's say the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts have some kind of rivalry going on. Let's say the Patriots won the first tango and the two teams will meet again in the following year's football calendar.

Some would more likely pick the Patriots thinking, ''Hey, the Patriots already beat these Colts last year, lets put a gazillion dollars on New England, they will definitely beat Peyton Manning again.''

Now, you tell me, was that a good bet to make?

The answer is no.

In the world of football, teams prepare in the off-season just for that one game when they meet their rivals. And as fate would have it, the team out for revenge always come out on top.

Don't just depend on the history between two teams when you make your wagers. Any given Sunday, anything can happen, whether its a team trouncing on their rivals again or the other team finally having that sweet taste of revenge.

And its also important to take note that the team who lost the first meeting, is more likely to win the next one.

Get it?

Got it?

Good.
