Sports betting surprises happen all the time but if you want to make money on them you must discover them before the average gambler does.
To the masses, the most attractive wagers in online sportsbetting are the popular powerhouse teams. This same mentality means that they bet high scoring teams over and low scoring teams under. In other words, they do exactly what the sportsbooks expect them to do, and fall right into the sportsbooks traps as the sportsbetting lines are set precisely on public perception.
Sportsbetting gamblers have a highly predictable habit of overreacting to the immediate, with no concept of the big picture. Long term to the average online sports betting gambler means the next game. Sportsbetting gamblers that win money have the gift of depth, and they are able to see weeks, if not months, in advance. The winner doesn’t fall all over himself with an overreaction to an upset win or one individual poor performance in sports betting. They give sportsbetting a deeper and unique look, which helps them find surprises.
One of the best places to uncover sportsbetting surprises is when a bettor can locate a solid, well-coached, up and coming team that is yet to be “proven” against a popular perennial contender type team that is, of course, the chalk as the oddsmakers are appealing to the mass mentality. Keep in mind that sportsbetting lines are no different than any other business, in that the lines/prices are set by consumer demand. Think of all of the products in the economy that are worth far less than the price tag, and yet the masses still overpay for these products. The same principles of supply and demand holds true in sportsbetting. And you will find that winners are often wagering on “generic” or “off” brands/teams, that the masses simply cannot see the value of taking in online sports betting.
What about the opposite situation when a quality team has lost three consecutive games but played well and competitive in each of those games, barely losing? At surface level, this team has lost three straight games and, thus, has lost “mass” appeal in sportsbetting. To the bettor capable of a deeper look, however, those three losses would reveal that the team is still good and the “mass” defection actually can increase their value in online sports betting. All of a sudden, the formerly popular team that is now unwanted has becoming a sleeper bargain. Finding sportsbetting surprises can be done if you look in the right places.
