honestly, betting on sports based on the female players' period cycle is a high iq move.

Now I want a chart of player stats vs days cycle days.

I assume it is the worst right before the blood starts, maybe even more penalties giving the other team more free throws?

I vaguely recall seeing a weird study that women's depth perception was worse than men's normally, but was statistically equal to men's during their periods (I could be completely misremembering when it was better, read this over a decade ago), which could be helpful in basketball.
