The Point Spread As A Reference Point: Evidence From The National Basketball Association, George Diemer, Michael Leeds Mar 2022

The Point Spread As A Reference Point: Evidence From The National Basketball Association, George Diemer, Michael Leeds

These seemingly anomalous findings are consistent with underdogs’ using the point-spread as a reference point.
