The Motivation Angle That Made Bettors Rich (Then Died) | Presented by ProphetX

Do quants ignore motivation? I tested the most famous motivation angles in football, revenge games and blowout bounce backs, against 20+ years of real NFL closing lines. One of them was legitimately profitable. Then the market found it. This is the full lifecycle of a betting edge, tested live against 20+ years of real NFL closing lines. 🟢 Sponsored by ProphetX, America's #1 Sports Prediction Market.
