Series Bet

A wager on the outcome of a playoff series, such as which team will advance or the exact number of games. Available in NBA, NHL, and MLB playoffs.

Like betting on who wins a best-of-seven chess match rather than a single game — consistency matters more than any one performance.

Why it matters

Series bets can offer value when the market overreacts to regular-season records or a single game's result during the series.

How DMP uses this

DMP's projection system evaluates individual games, which you can use to build your own series-level thesis from game-by-game analysis.

Common mistake

Ignoring home-court advantage patterns and rest days when pricing a series — these factors compound over 4-7 games.
