Three Prime Arbitrage Windows
1. The Halftime Overcorrection
- NBA teams down 15+ at half cover second half spread 53.2%
- But public overreacts, creating value on the trailing team
2. The “False Comeback” Pattern
- Soccer teams scoring 2 quick goals see odds overadjust
- Smart money knows most 2-0 leads hold in quality leagues
3. Injury Overreactions
- Star player goes down, odds swing 20%+
- But modern teams have quality depth most casuals ignore
