How do you guess correctly the outcome of a game?
Well you have to break down what each team has done in
the past, then project current variables that are
relevant for these similar circumstances.
Basically it boils down do putting in enough time and
effort breaking down the two teams playing. The
point spread should accurately reflect the strength of
one team over the other, and if it doesn't then is it
set to balance the action? A good
sports handicapper
knows the difference and realizes that each game has a
little bit of both.
Football is a physical game. You have to be
able to run the ball down the throat of your opponent
while your defense has to stop opposing rushers in their
tracks. This is a big key when it comes to winning
games and these are the stats that good football
handicappers are aware of. Keep in mind both the
average yards rushing and the rushing yards allowed and
you won't be surprised at how the better teams are.
Recent performance is another factor to key in on
with your football handicapping. What has each
team done the past couple weeks, how have they done
recently against the current opponent, are there certain
motivations coming into play, how do the styles of play
matchup, what's the weather going to be like, and what's
the injury situation are some beginning questions to ask
yourself.
Another thing that good bettors do is avoid
handicapping games when they are pressing. If you
have a losing day then you need to take a break and
refresh, come back to it when your emotions are in
check. If you are betting with your head and not
your heart then you won't try to catch your losses and
you'll end up winning more in the long run.
Remember it's a marathon and not a sprint.
One important handicapping tip that we can't preach
enough is line shopping. If you have a four or
five good internet
sportsbooks then you can get some great value on
your bets and win more games. Why bet a game at +7
when you can get +7.5 somewhere else? It doesn't
make any sense, and having several accounts to choose
from doesn't make any sense either.
