BettrailsIs eBasketball random?
In eSportsBattle, no: good players win far more and stay on top month after month. In GGLeague the player matters much less and the NBA 2K team matters more. Measured on 25,274 games from the last 60 days.
The better-form player wins
When a player arrives with a 30-day record at least 10 points better than the opponent, how often do they win? If it were luck, half the time.
Good players stay good
The 10 best and 10 worst of the previous month (at least 30 games): how are they doing this month? If it were luck, everyone would drift back to 50 %.
Streaks
After 5 or more wins in a row, do players win the next game more than usual? In the European Conference and GGLeague, yes; in eSportsBattle NBA, no.
Half-time
The side ahead at half-time almost always wins: the bigger the lead, the fewer the comebacks.
In GGLeague players keep switching NBA 2K teams, and the team matters: over the last 30 days, Oklahoma City Thunder won 59 % of its games and Brooklyn Nets only 43 %.
Is it rigged?
Nobody can see what happens at each console. What thousands of results do show is what you would expect from a game of skill: the best win far more than the worst, stay on top the next month and big leads are almost never lost. Bettrails only measures public results and gives no betting advice.
