The Danger in Betting Trends

In my sports wagering skills video, I warn against relying on gambling trends, pointing out how biases like gambler's fallacy stem from misleading journalism and sportsbooks. I emphasize that trends are often statistical flukes, mistaken for patterns. Distinguishing between analytics and predictive analytics, I argue for using historical data to forecast outcomes intelligently, rather than following non-predictive trends. I caution against small sample sizes in trend analysis, advocating for informed betting decisions based on predictive analytics, and highlighting the unreliability of trends.
