Football Betting Tips

• Bet on the underdog. Betting on the underdog is where the good money is. Good teams win games and bad teams cover them. If you discover this it will really help you out. When betting on football the point spread is used, as winners straight up do not mean a thing. Betting on the underdog is how you can make a good profit if you know how to handicap games.


• Keep records of your bets. At the middle of the season check out which bets are winning you money and which ones you are losing. If you are losing you may want to change your betting patterns.


• Have solid money management. If you are betting all of your bankroll on only one game per week, you will end up losing money in the long run. Make smaller bets to stay in the action. If you are winning you can bet a tad more to ride a streak, but never bet double if you lose to try to hedge your bets, as that is the fastest way to lose money.


• Don’t think the MNF will bail you out. This is much like the above tip, as if you have a bad weekend do not bet the NNF game huge to try to recoup your losses.


• Bet the same amount of coin on every game. This is even the case if you have found a bet that you think is a sure thing. No game should have more weight than another. The line is in place to make bettors feel they are getting a deal on one side, but that is simply not the case.


• Check the weather reports for the game. It is always hard when you bet the over on two high scoring teams only to have a 3-0 game because there is a blizzard or heavy rains.


• Shop around. Check out a few sportsbooks in order to find the best line possible for every game you look to bet. Different sportsbooks will have different lines, so why not take advantage of the best line?


• Learn how to bet on totals in the NFL. You should know that the betting limits on totals are lesser than sides. The reason is that they are easier to beat.


• Don’t go in blind, as you need to handicap the games. If you do not know how to handicap a game there are cappers out there that you can use. They have info on the game that can give you the information you need to make the best pick possible.


• Know NFL key numbers and how you can gain from them. This is knowledge that needs to be known by any legit sports bettor. If you know the NFL numbers it can save you many ½ point losses over the season.


• Pay close attention to injuries. Do not just look at the injuries for QB’s and RB’s, but also other positions, especially on the defense. NFL games are won in the trenches and if a lineman is injured, especially on the offensive side, it can have a major outcome on how the team plays.


• Keep your betting to a minimum. A good rule of thumb is to bet 2%-3% of your bankroll for each game, but never go above 5% for s single game.
