Sunday’s Lynx vs. Valkyries game fits a historically profitable betting system.
Named “Bet Bad Teams Off Loss as Big Dogs,” this system focuses on teams with an undesirable record coming off a loss as a big underdog.
This strategy plays on the perception that “bad” teams coming off a loss should be avoided. When such teams are large underdogs, it’s often because they were recently blown out or are on a cold streak.
But when the previous loss was by a modest margin, this system finds value in the market’s overreaction.
The public tends to pile onto fading weak teams after a loss, leading to artificially widened spreads that are ideal for covering. These teams often fight harder than expected in the follow-up game, keeping the margin within the number.
This system boasts a 176-120-4 all-time record, good for a winning percentage of 59.5% and an ROI of 14.9%.

The Valkyries enter this game with a 2-3 record and are coming off an 82-77 loss to the New York Liberty.
With Golden State coming into the game as a 12-point underdog against the Lynx, we’ll take a shot on the big ‘dog.
Pick: Valkyries +12
