💀 the sports collapse bet
The sports collapse bet is the one you place when you sense the vibes are off. A team up 3-0 in a series that suddenly looks nervous. A coach whose press conferences are getting weird. A franchise that traded for someone who hasn't practiced.
These markets are fascinating because sports collapses are always obvious in hindsight and invisible in real time. The odds tell you what the crowd thinks — and the crowd is often wrong right up until it's catastrophically right.
These are the bets for the people who watch the postgame interviews more closely than the game.
