Thin-Slicing the NBA
November 7th, 2005
Eye on Gambling has an article on “Thin-Slicing” (A concept from Malcom Gladwell’s book “Blink,” which is essentially breaking down decision making to a few key factors) and whether or not it is possible to apply the concept to NBA wagering.
In a nutshell, Dean Oliver, author of “Basketball on Paper” has it narrowed down to:
1) Effective Field Goal Percentage
2) Turnover Rate
3) Offensive Rebounding Rate
4) Getting to the Free Throw Line
