Top 9 Methods To Win At Betting Sports

Top 9 Methods To Win At Betting Sports

By Simon M SkinnerIf 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, sport 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 By placing bets on the right book, you increase your odds of winning by 3% - an enviable edge.
8.Bet Against the Public Many bettors choose to “fade the public” and bet against the outcome everyone else is counting on. This can be a winning strategy for you.
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 The underdog is statistically a good bet when they are playing a home game. Teams tend to put forth their best effort for the home crowd, so don’t count on the favorite on the underdog’s turf.
5.Bet at Just the Right Time Bettors who bet on underdogs usually bet early. Therefore, if you are betting on an underdog try and bet late. If you are betting on the favorite then bet early. Going against the grain in sports gambling is often a smart move.
4.Make Arbitrage Bets Regardless of the outcome of a game, you can make money by making arbitrage bets. You only bet on something specific within the game and can make money no matter how the game itself turns out.
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 should go without saying, but drinking can impair your judgment and makes you more likely to make rash decisions. Don’t drink and bet, please.
1.Manage your Gambling Money Another lesson in common sense that is often ignored when it comes time to put down a wager: never bet more than you can afford to lose. In fact, it is recommended that you set aside a portion of your money for betting and to stick with it, regardless of your winnings or losses. Lastly, 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.
