Know the Venue and Sport You Want to Bet on

Look for Lopsided Games

Avoid placing money on games that are very close in score or statistics. Small statistical differences drastically impact odds.

Example: In a one game series, one team has a 35% chance to win while the other team has only a 5% chance. However, in a two game series, the first team has only a 9% chance while the second team has only a 1% chance. In this instance, it is obvious that the first game will have more importance on who wins than who loses.

Know the Matchups

All sports, except perhaps baseball and basketball, are played one team at a time. What this means is that there will always be times when a better team will face an inferior team. When this happens it is important to consider the motivation of each team as well as the method they choose to lay out their game plan.
