In this report, we will analyze the current sports betting market conditions of the NBA using the Raymond Report Sports Betting Index (SBI) data. We will examine the performance of favorites, underdogs, OVERs, and UNDERs across various time ranges to provide valuable insights for bettors.
Favorites and Underdogs Performance
Throughout the season, favorites have held a strong position with a 63.9% Straight-Up (SU) win percentage, while underdogs have managed a 36.1% win percentage. The SBI ratings indicate a bullish trend for favorites. In the short term, however, underdogs have shown some strength, as they won 67% of the games on March 20th. This indicates a bearish trend for favorites in the short term.
Over and Under Performance
When it comes to Over/Under (O/U) betting, the NBA has seen a relatively balanced performance this season, with the OVERs hitting at a 50.4% rate and the UNDERs at 49.6%. The SBI ratings for both OVERs and UNDERs remain neutral for the season. In the short term, UNDERs have been performing better, as evidenced by the 67% UNDER win percentage on March 20th. This puts the short-term trend for OVERs in a bearish state.
Against the Spread (ATS) Performance
The ATS performance of favorites has been more volatile, with a 49.5% win percentage for the season. This indicates a neutral SBI rating for favorites. On March 20th, favorites had a poor ATS showing, winning only 17% of the games. This implies a bearish trend for favorites in the short term.
The NBA sports betting market has shown varying performance trends for favorites, underdogs, OVERs, and UNDERs throughout the season.
