Finding Value Bets with Sports Betting

By Teresa G. Moothart


If we had one golden rule when it comes to sports betting it would be to get value in all of the of your bets. You just have to apart from not every your bets will win. In fact, you possibly will not be able to break the magic 60% barrier. If this is the case then what might you do to ensure you profit out from the bets you need to do choose?

This is where value comes in. When you go through the day's games, matches or events there will be some that jump out at you as ideal sports betting candidates. Now compare these up against the odds on offer, I am certain that for the sports you have good information about there will be some place the chances as much higher than you'd calculate. There will also be somewhere else the chances appear to be a bit of a rip off.

Now these bets where the chances are a good deal are the value bets. Let's look for example at Brazil facing Scotland in the World cup (I am sure Scotland will make it to World Cup 2014!) Now it would be usual to see it can be for the Brazil win to become arousing the 1.2 - 1.3 mark (depending on the squad fielded). Let suppose that you are scanning purchasing odds to see there are probability of 1.9 available for Brazil to win. Exciting stuff, there's money to be made here right? You have discovered value!

Not surprisingly there's far more still to examine, is there any team news that has affected the chances? Are any big players missing? Check all of the factors that you can (start a system to do this). If you still find no reason for the high odds then you have a value bet. Maybe the bookie got the chances wrong, or possibly there are a variety of Scottish supporters who like sports betting and therefore are driving the cost on a betting exchange?

The things is, should you search for and are strict about finding value bets and taking only these bets you will increase your long-term sports betting profits. Our example might be a little extreme, but it is there to make the point.

Don't get caught up in short term gain bets, sooner or later you will luck out and lose your bank!
