Situational Spot Betting Analysis
Analyzing daily line movement, going through teams schedules, overreactions to a line and recognizing the use of "buy low, sell high" opportunities is key to picking winners and growing your return on investment. The ability to analyze line movements and decipher their meaning is something that takes a long time to develop. Bettors can only acquire this skill by consistently watching lines daily and breaking down the movements week in and week out. Situational spot analysis uncovers conditions and patterns [...]
“Buy low sell high” Applied to Sports
This is the most basic principle in investing "buy low, sell high" and is the cornerstone that I apply to daily handicapping sports. Put simply, by buying when cheap and selling when expensive you will grow your return on investment. This sounds easy right? Well you have to know when is the right time to react. So how do you determine whether to buy low on a team or sell high. Everyday is a new day in the world of [...]
The Best piece of Sportsbetting advice I can give you
People who bet on sports make the mistake of betting based on what happened the last game and that's what's going to happen again the very next game. This applies to every sport and it's the square way of thinking which is why square bettors will never be winners.

Betting Favorites Early, Underdogs Wait Middle Possible
This is a simple strategy to use in any sport. Lines are often made right away after a team's last game is played. Say the line opens up -3 for the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, well the Cowboys are a public betting team and if you like them against the spread the next week you should take that line ASAP because once Sunday comes around it could be at -4 or -4.5 and your not getting the best number.

Reverse Line Movement
This is a must for every handicapper to know. If you notice here on vegasinsider.com they have bet percentages there on moneyline, spread and OVER/UNDER for each sport. They have what the line for the game opened at and what the current line is at. What to look for is: for instance the Heat open at -7 for the game and there is 74% of the betting market on them but the line went from -7 to -6 with only [...]
