Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

Sports Betting Advice From A Voice Of Reason…

For all those sports bettors out there taking advice from yourself, your friends, your handicappers and TV and radio analysts, be leary of what you hear. To win in this business you need to have a number of factors working for you. The first is properly screening who you are listening to. For instance, I was listening to the countless TV analysts offering their advice on who they think will win the Super Bowl. One of them had a track record of 45-50 over 2007. He was a loser! Understanding which side to take in sports is not easy.

Here are a few things to consider when taking advice from anyone regarding a sports bet.

1. Consider the Source: Stay away from most TV and Radio analysts. They rarely factor in the spread, and therefore you’re listening to advice on who will win out right. In this case you should be considering the moneyline. However, the moneyline is very difficult to win at long term because you could have a winning record with your picks and still lose money, especially if you are picking a lot of favorites instead of dogs.

But that guy gave him his best game that he has ever played and still lost…by the way that was one of the best matches I have ever seen!
