Streak trendspage only
Streaks are listed for games in the next seven days.
Win/loss and over/under streaks, carried across seasons; "what happened next" is measured on the overall split. Measured over 18 seasons (2007-08 to now, closing prices): the price already knows - after a streak the next game lands within about a point of what the line said, riding a streak loses about the bookmaker’s margin and fading it is break-even. (Last season alone looked like streaks carried on; over 21,500 games that was luck.) Unlike football, where fading long streaks wins. Shown for context only: no picker bets on it and it is never in the pickers’ packet.
