Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

HOW TO BET HOCKEY SIDES

Do not let records fool you when betting on sides in hockey

When betting on hockey sides wins and losses mean nothing. Like baseball the most popular bet is picking the winner of the game, straight up, with no pointspread.

Sounds easy but instead of a pointspread you have to bet the odds.

Here is an example:

You bet 3 games and take the favorites

Detroit – 200 to win 100

Ottawa – 220 to win 100

Anaheim – 230 to win 100

Now Detroit and Ottawa win you cash your tickets for $ 200

Your record for the day is 2 and 1. That is 67% winners. But when you add the most important part, the money, you just lost $ 30.

Do not fall for the hype some services promote with wins and losses. It is the bottom line that counts.

TOLL FREE PICK AND 800 NUMBERS

You are really paying for the FREE picks

Did you ever call a 1-800 number for a free pick selection? Then some guy is screaming at you on the T.V. It makes me wonder is this guy an actor or a handicapper?

This is rediculous! It’s like when everybody thought the two old guys, Bartles and Jaymes, really made wine coolers. That was marketing genius. The picks that are released Free are probably done by some guy closing his eyes and throwing darts at a board.

They win, not you. Even if you call from a restricted line , be assured someone will call in the future promoting a Big Game you need to buy . I call this TELESPAMING ,1-800- GET- SPAM.

LATE TELEPHONE SERVICE

How late are telephone services?

When you join a late telephone service, your hoping to get late breaking information. Unfortunately some of the late telephone services are more marketing driven than professional handicapper driven.

The selections that are given to you may come out as early as Thursday and as late as 11:00 AM for Saturday’s and Sunday’s plays. I always try to give out my picks one hour before the game starts. This is to make sure you have the right spread on your side. So be carefull, you want to get a true late telephone service to stay ahead of the game.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS FOR SPORTS PICKS

Are weekly news letters a good resource for sports picks ?

I do not believe that weekly newsletters are a valid resource for picking games. The newsletters are a marketing tool to promote picks in different categories. For example, some of these newsletters will promote their picks in the following manner, 5 stars, 4 stars, dog of the week, total of the week etc. Now lets say their 4 star picks go 2-0. All they will promote is the winning catagory. No mention of the losers. This is a form of marketing, not handdicapping. These newsletters are done by marketing people not handicappers. They are usually printed on Sunday or Monday for Tuesday delivery. Having picks this far ahead of time is bad info because many things can happen to change a point spread in four days.
