9 Top Ways To Win At Sportsbetting
By Simon M Skinner | September 20, 2008
If you are looking to try your luck at sports betting then know that you do have greater odds of winning in this game than you would in roulette or craps. While those are games of chance, sports betting is a game of predicting a foreseeable outcome. Here are some tips on how to win big at the big game.
9.Place Bets on the Right Sports Book
Statistics suggest that placing bets with the correct sports book will make a big difference, and increase the odds of winning by 3%.
8.Bet Against the Public
There are those who will tell you that betting against the conventional wisdom and "fading the public" can be a winning strategy. Many bettors do so.
7.Do Your Homework Before the Game
To make the most of sports betting, learn everything you can about the sport. Think about the things which a lot of people are unaware of. Even bookies don't know every little detail; if you can become an expert, it can work in your favor as a sports bettor.
6.Choose the Underdog at Home
Statistically speaking, it's a good idea to bet on an underdog at home. A team will put forth their best effort at home stadium and underdogs have a way of triumphing over the odds in general. Using this strategy you may beat the odds too.
5.Bet at Just the Right Time
Bettors who opt for the underdog usually do so early; be different. Bet early on the favorite and late on the underdog. Going against the conventional wisdom can work well for you in sports betting.
4.Make Arbitrage Bets
When you make arbitrage bets, you are betting on a specific occurrence within the game and can make money regardless of the outcome.
3.Square or Sucker Lines
Most bettors will try to avoid square lines (lines which are made to lure people into betting one way or the other). You can even make money off of these by keeping an eye on the odds.
2.Never Gamble While Drinking
This may be common knowledge to some, a great shock to others. However, when you drink an alcoholic beverage, your judgment will be significantly clouded. A drink may also give you that extra "courage" to make a rash and expensive decision.
1.Manage your Gambling Money
This is another common sense rule. Don't bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose. Set aside money specifically for gambling and do not go outside of this fund, regardless of your wins or losses. Spread out your betting among several small bets instead of one large bet - you risk losing it all if you go for one big bet.
