The Zig-Zag theory is one of the most popular handicapping techniques especially during the NBA playoffs. It is based on the simple theory: The team that wins a game is less likely to improve than the one that just lost. The loser comes out more hungry because every play off game is a must win situation.
I look at the Zig-Zag theory when I handicap the NBA playoffs and to some degree the MLB post season. There are several times that this approach is helpful, especially when you are dealing with strong defenses.
However, over time you can not place bets strickly using this theory. If it worked then technically every playoff series would go seven games, and we know that doesn't happen.
So look at the revenge factor, just don't hang your hat on it or use it exclusively.
