Washington at Minnesota

One of the favorite wagers a bettor makes is on a team seeking revenge. After all, it is like comfort food, it seems to make sense. Why wouldn't a team take the floor with a chip on its shoulder seeking redemption? Isn't that just the human psyche at work? Bettors often seek comfort when plucking down a few bucks in the betting world, because it is hard to play on an ugly team. The psychological factors are one of several reasons bettors often come up short. Today I provide a situation where the revenging team simply has nothing left in the tank, and will often come up short. Revenging a loss as a favorite makes the revenging team easier to bet on because the assumption is they are better, which is not always the in case. Let's take a look: 1. Revenge for a favorite loss. 2. Off a dog loss. 3. KEY:  Covered the spread in that dog loss (in other words made a full effort). All told, these teams cover just 40.8% of all games. Play on Minnesota.
