A successful sports betting strategy begins with a frank determination of the seriousness of the bettor's commitment. Whether you are betting online on a fantasy sports game or an actual game, it is important to understand betting strategy. The serious bettor makes bets for only one reason; to turn a profit and make money!
There are 9 simple yet effective tips to consider when betting on a sports betting sites:
Choosing The Right Sports Betting Site
All sports betting sites are not the same. Where you place your bets is as important as who you bet on. There are a number of ways to analyze a sports book and though this may come as a surprise to most readers, bonuses are the least important factor to consider when choosing an online sports book. They come with huge strings attached and offer little true value for instance having to roll your money over 5 times before being able to make a withdrawal. The most important factor to consider when evaluating a sports book is the type of bettor the sports book caters to. This answer will affect your bottom line more than anything else.
The Betting odds
Some sports books have better odds on parlays and teasers. When you are betting big bucks the difference in odds translate into a huge difference in your payout. All it takes is a little research of the sports books you usually bet at. Most books have their payout odds listed in way that is easy for the bettor to find them. It should be noted that we advise against playing parlays and teasers for the most part.
Place Bet Against the Public
The logic is simple: always bet against the public. Which ever team the public is loading up on, simply bet the other team. There is a reason why sports books are in business.
Analyze The Game Updates
Many people don't have the time to study things like: statistics, line moves, game analysis, team trends, situational trends, Historical angles, valuable lines, inflated numbers on public teams, etc. If this is your situation, there is help available to you. As a bettor, you have the advantage of streamlining your research, which is something the sports books are not at liberty to do. They must keep on top of every sport and every game. The best way to win money betting sports is to develop a niche and follow it closely.
Play For Home Dogs
There is probably no better bet in sports than playing an underdog at home. Teams play inspired ball at home. Slim underdogs regularly win outright. Big underdogs often find ways to cover the spread and they rarely give up toward the end of a game in front of the home crowd.
Try The Arbitrage Bets
By arbitrage bets, you can make money inspite of the results of the sports betting game. The mileage of these bets is that it doesn’t matter what the outcome of a game is, since the only bet you made was on a specific happening.
Focus On The Game
There is a reason the offshore sports betting hall supply you with free drinks while you are gambling or playing at online sports betting sites while drinking or emotional stressed. Because alcohol clouds your judgment and usually helps you to make rash decisions you usually wouldn't otherwise make. To be a successful sports bettor you need to operate with a clear mind. If you have had too much to drink, it is in your best interest to stay away from the betting window.
Bet On A Square or Sucker Lines
Many bettors try to stay away from square lines and that is, lines that are designed to lure public opinion into betting a certain way and in the end, can even make money off these phony wagers if they can closely monitor the betting percentages.
Establish A Money Wise Management
Never bet more than you can afford to lose, better yet, set aside a portion of your money for betting and to stick with it, regardless of your winnings or losses and try to spread your total among a few smaller bets rather than risk it all on one sure thing that may not be as predictable as everyone thinks.
