Let’s talk betting on fights and sports – whether these fights are boxing or mixed martial arts and whether the sports are basketball, football, soccer, hockey, baseball, tennis, rugby or whatever else.
One of the things you’ve got to keep in mind is that almost everyone that gambles on sportsbooks has a certain system or style they use when they have to choose the winning bet. Obviously, there’s no one perfect method to handicap. What you’ve got to do is find a way that’s going to work for you – this is the most key aspect of betting on fights or teams. A lot of bettors out there think they’re being “flexible” by just jumping around with various styles, systems, and betting theories – but in the end they end up being on the wrong end of the bet and lose big money.
So let’s say you’re a beginner to sportsbook betting. I’ll give you a solid strategy for any beginner to this. Here it is: find out what most people are betting on and bet the opposite. Yup. Take a look around the sports betting world. More than 95% of sportsbook gamblers end up losing. So what’s the best option? Go against the popular opinion and you’ll come out a winner more often than not in the long run. Of course, as a beginner to this it’s going to be real hard for you to go against the grain and bet against established teams or fighters that everyone and their mother is hyping up like mad. Trust me, in the end you’ll be the laughing and 95% of the betting population will be crying.
I’ll give you a run-down of how to implement this strategy into your routine. Make sure to keep it locked to all the top online casino blogs, subscribe to the email feed, subscribe via RSS reader as well to make sure you get up-to-the-minute updates. Check out magazine columnists that report on fights and sporting events that make predictions. Write down their predictions for the fight/event – you might want to use a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for this. If it seems like they’re really going for a particular team or fighter make a note of that too.
Go to your favorite online casino forums to see what Joe Gambler thinks about the fight/match/game. You’ll find posters talking about who they like in the match. If lots of forum posters are talking trash like, “This guy is gonna get killed tonight” or, “Bet everything you got on that team” take note of that as well. Just get the general vibe of what most people think.
Go to your favorite sportsbook to check out the odds. Recommended sportsbooks are BetUS and Sportsbook.
Bet the favorite if the underdog is getting hyped. If the general consensus seems to be that everyone is liking the underdog, then bet big on the favorite. A lot of times you’ll see this in boxing matches and MMA fights with headline fighters – this is a perfect opportunity to use this strategy.
Bet the underdog if the favorite is getting hyped. If the general consensus seems to be that everyone is liking the major favorite, then place a smallish bet on the underdog.
For the rest, make your bets according to your general vibe and educated intuition on the match. Take into account the action you’re seeing on other matches. Try to keep your betting on underdogs and small favorites – for example in MMA fights, generally stay away from favorites that are higher than -300.
You can use this strategy in Mixed Martial Arts betting, boxing matches, football games, basketball games, hockey, baseball, soccer (futbol), and other spots.
Try it and let me know what happens!
