Common paths
| Player type | Usual stats | Hardest stat |
|---|---|---|
| Point forward | Points, rebounds, assists | Rebounds or assists |
| Playmaking guard | Points, assists, rebounds | Rebounds |
| Passing center | Points, rebounds, assists | Assists |
Most triple-doubles use these three stats.
Find the weakest stat
A player who averages 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists clears points easily. Assists decide the bet.
Look at how often he reaches 10 in that weakest stat. That rate matters far more than his scoring.
Implied chance by price
| Yes price | Implied chance |
|---|---|
| +150 | 40% |
| +250 | 28.6% |
| +400 | 20% |
Implied chance = 100 ÷ (odds + 100).
Minutes and game script
A blowout can bench a star in the fourth quarter, cutting his chance. A close game keeps him on the floor.
Fast-paced games create more rebounds and assists. Injuries to teammates can also raise his share.

A worked example
You bet $10 on Yes at +250. The player has 22 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists late in the fourth quarter.
He adds two assists in the final minutes to reach 10. The bet wins and returns $35.
Double-double vs triple-double
A double-double needs 10 or more in two stats, which is far more common. Big men get them often through points and rebounds. Season leaders in triple-doubles often record one in a large share of their games.
A triple-double needs a third stat, usually assists. That is why few players get them regularly. A player returning from injury may also play fewer minutes than normal.
Prices for triple-doubles are much longer, reflecting the extra stat needed.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on points
- The weak stat matters.
- Ignoring blowouts
- Minutes drop.
- Missing injuries
- Roles change.
- Ignoring stat corrections
- Settlement uses official stats.
Home and road
Some players record more assists at home, where scorers may credit assists more freely. For most players, though, a triple-double happens only a few times a season, if at all.
This effect is small, but it can matter when the weak stat is assists. Check the starting lineup news about an hour before tip-off.
Look at a player home and road splits for the weak stat before betting.

Late-game stat chasing
Teammates sometimes help a star reach 10 rebounds or assists late in a decided game. Back-to-back games can cut minutes for stars, especially late in the season.
This can help the Yes side, but coaches may also rest the player.
Do not count on it. Base your bet on the player normal rate.
