Abstract

The NBA playoffs and finals are ideal games to watch as they are very competitive and they have many lead changes so mean reversion risk arbitrage is an ideal way to bet and watch these games. I start discussing the general risk arbitrage principles and its application to various sports betting, political and stock market mean reverting situations, then apply it to the NBA playoffs and finals.
