Definition

Patterns or streaks derived from historical data, often used (sometimes overused) to inform betting decisions. Trends can relate to a fighter’s performance under certain conditions or general statistics (e.g. “Fighter X is 5-0 in Vegas” or “80% of Champion’s fights go Over the rounds total”). While trends can be interesting, savvy bettors analyze whether a trend is meaningful or just coincidence.

Formula

Example

A betting article might cite **trends** like “Canelo has won 90% of his fights by decision when fighting in Las Vegas” or “The underdog has covered in 7 of the last 10 big championship fights.” You should be cautious: some trends are not predictive. Successful bettors focus on relevant data and sample size, not just flashy historical nuggets.
