Football Betting Is Fun If You Are Winning

It is true that football betting is fun only if you are winning and making a profit. So, how can you make sure that when you do some football betting, you will come out the winner? We have gathered “must follow“ rules in football betting that you must adapt to.

Always be able to pick the straight, right-on champion of the game. It is all or nothing in football betting. So, why is this statement true and relevant? Well, as you know, some handicappers and casual bettors out there always focus on the point spread. They become pre-occupied by it. The question they should be asking themselves is how often does the line really matter anyway? The line only makes an important factor when the favored team wins, but is unable to cover the intended point spread. When the underdog team wins outright then the point spread does not seem to matter. Look at this data: As far back as 1991, the winning team was also able to cover the point spread and the figure for this is roughly 73 percent of the time. That translates to about 3 games in 4, crossing over more than a whopping 5,200 games. In the Bowl games, the figures even become higher.

When you choose to bet with the underdog, choose to bet using the moneyline betting system, but use the system with several conditions in mind. The moneyline wagers naturally have no points. The point of the system is you need to call the winner of the game straight up. So when you choose the underdog on the moneyline, you may read such odds figures as +140 or plus 2 to 1. Statistics show that when double digit underdog teams (these teams typically receive about 10 points or more) win 25 percent of the time straight up. So what happens is if you can achieve around 3 to 1 on your underdog pick, what you are getting is a fair share of profit. It is important to remember that the average of the Bowl underdog usually registers at +6. This means the double digit dogs are not that great, and usually, in a Bowl match, 6 results as a double digit line.

December is the season for the underdogs. On the other side of the fence, New Year is the time to bet on the favorites. There is a misconception shared by football bettors who like betting as handicappers. The misinformation is the idea of making money over the long term just by blindly choosing the underdog all the time.
