Double Upset
@doubleupset.bsky.social
A newly defined volatility pattern in the NBA. The Double Upset.

When a pre-game odds underdog leads by 20 or more points, but loses by at least 3.
Based in my historical data, we should see the Bucks hold out and win or lose by less than 3 points.

Today's pre game outputs show not much to talk about on the double upset front.
January 19, 2026 at 5:49 PM
Okay! Based on my system output, i would expect Memphis to collapse again after their big lead.

Please remember my system is in its testing phase and is not a prediction mechanism .

Pre game results for today are pushed out early due to the London game.

Keep an eye on:
Memphis vs Orlando
Chicago vs Brooklyn
Houston vs New Orleans

We're starting to see more variety in the outputs now that we have a good amount of the season past.

What's compelling about all the data I've looked at for double upset games is the volatility can exist for more than a single set of reasons.

Today the pre referee analysis shows 3 games with potential, all with differing circumstances.

A slight odds change gives us a potential game primed for double upset.

Keep an eye on the hornets tonight, if they take a 20 point or more lead, I'd expect them to lose by 3 or more points.

Missed the beginning of the Berlin game because of my day job, but this should not be a double upset game.

Memphis should win or lose by less than 3.
January 15, 2026 at 9:29 PM
We should see the pacers hold out here, or lose by less than 3 points.

All indicators say this should NOT be a Double Upset.

Pre game indicators show a high score for the Spurs vs Lakers tonight.

Please remember that our system does not and can not predict double upset games, but flags games that reflect signs that say "if the odds underdog leads by 20 or more, they are likely to lose by at least 3."

Possible double upset in progress. The Mavericks have taken a semi early 20+ point lead. This game was flagged heavily negative in the system today so we're expecting the mavs to hold out or lose by 1-2.

I thought the Pacers were going to hang on but no. This was the first real Double Upset of the season. Even though the indicators weren't strong, it felt good to see one. And it shows the volatility of these types of games.

Just when I run my mouth.

Potential Double upset with Pacers vs Celtics. Still a lot of game left, but the Celtics are on their way back from more than 20 down.

It might seem like I have been MIA, but not only have we had 0 good indicators for upcoming double upset games recently. We actually haven't seen a DU game since Oct 22nd.

Not unusual for such a rare event.
December 22, 2025 at 5:50 PM
Tonight we will be observing the Mavericks and Pistons for a potential Double Upset game. Pre game indicators show a good scoring for this game now that all data is available.
November 1, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Today, pre game indicators show a favoring towards the Wizards at OKC. This game currently has one of the best combinations making it the 3rd highest scoring game in our system this season.
Barring any large odds movements, this game warrants double upset observation.
October 30, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Last night we saw 3 out of the 10 games feature an underdog lead of 20 or more points. Unfortunately, the pre game favorite couldn't make the comebacks.

This aligned with our pre game model that the Lakers game scored the highest but not well enough to consider observations.
October 30, 2025 at 11:52 AM
All of today's pre game indicators point to no games with Double Upset potential tonight.
October 27, 2025 at 10:44 PM
If the only way (according to nba.com) to watch the buck/cavs game is "fanduel sports network" I think that's enough endless capitalist expansion.
October 26, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Of today's games we will be keeping a close eye on the Trailblazers at the LA Clippers.

This game is giving the best matches for pre game Double Upset indicators so far this season.

Since it's a later game we may see some odds movements effect the indicator scoring, but it shouldn't be much.
October 26, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Took some work but daily pre game Double Upset indicator scoring is back up and running. Nothing exciting of note with this morning's numbers, but happy to have everything working again.
October 25, 2025 at 1:51 PM
Did the person responsible for updating the boxscores for the nba also get arrested today? All my pulls for yesterday's games are still incomplete.
October 23, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Pretty crazy second night in the NBA with 5 of the 12 games having the pre game underdogs take aead of 20 or more.
One of those ended up being a double upset, but not the highest flagged game from yesterday. Great data for moving forward this season.
October 23, 2025 at 6:33 PM
First game of the season with potential for a double upset. Keep an eye on Miami at Orlando. If Miami takes a lead of 20 or more, we should be able to anticipate their loss.
October 22, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Current preseason Double Upset stats.

Total preseason games played: 57

# of games with underdog 20 point lead: 7

# of Double Upset games:2

Historical averages are holding over perfectly from previous seasons.
