November 1 marked the end of Major League Baseball in 2015, as NBA basketball launched its 2015-2016 regular season on October 27. If you're following the games this year, you may want to watch for patterns predicted by recent SFI research. For example— if your NBA team's up 18 points at the half, chances are pretty good they're going to win. In fact, their lead is 90 percent safe. What's more, if they blow such a comfortable lead, they'll probably do it late in the fourth quarter.
