So, you’re looking to earn your keep at basketball wagering. I could have called this article “Turning Sports Betting Tragedy” to “Sports Betting Strategy” as most basketball handicappers tend not to look at enough statistical information and spend too much time on past 10 games performance, scoring averages, home/road records ATS, and team chemistry.  It literally takes countless hours of analysis to really make consistent money in basketball handicapping.  We’re going to look at some important statistical trends that will turn your betting tragedies into “Sports Betting How To”…put more money in your pocket.
 
I personally take historical data from the past 2 seasons 먹튀검증 (and current), ATS trends and recent team play in and out of conference as well as intra-division rivalries into play. The first thing I look at however, before looking at anything is the opening line of the game. Remember the lines-makers are very schrewed people and often set lines based on emotional scenarios (of fans). Often an opening ine can be all I need to make a play by realizing that the line is just plain wrong. This can save me a quite a bit of analytical time. Until you have enough experience setting “your” line before you see the official book-makers line, you really can’t appreciate what I am saying. Suffice it to say as you gain basketball handicapping experience your “sports betting how to” IQ will rise also.
 
Okay, back to or regular analysis. Let’s take a look at scheduling. How often do you look at a road favorite on the front end of a back-to-back? This often is a very profitable situation by betting on the home dog. There are many situations that a head coach must consider when faced with back-to-back road games. The coach obviously has no interest in whether his team is favored or not, but you need to be. He has to be concerned whether his team leaders will have enough rest during the game (remember, they have a game tomorrow also). As a road favorite a team is expected to have a significant lead in order to rest those key players in the second half and that is the perfect situation for a home dog to sneak in and cover. 
 
Being able to establish “power ratings” on teams is a very profitable statistical analysis method often overlooked. It takes into account so many factors of a teams performance that will raise your sports betting how to knowledge to a new level. Many of the online ratings are useful and by studying those you will eventually learn to analyze those stats in developing your own system. Become familiar with The Sporting News statistics pages for some outstanding information. A great play is often a road dog coming off an upset win and the next day having a huge letdown (provided the next game is on the road also). 
 
There are so many more analytical factors necessary to pick a winning side. There isn’t a single article that will ever give you enough information. What it takes is constant analysis of the lines-makers, team stats, player stats, league stats and finally the overall psychology of the final line that will make you a consistent winner, killing your book, and overall taking your sports betting how to, to a new level. Let me leave you with one final thought. As a general sports betting strategy rule, bet against the public and NEVER bet with your heart.
