Sportsbook odds give you a lot of games to choose from. Very often when looking at the pointspread it is critical to eliminate the games that hold no betting value. This is much easier said than done though, so we need to have some guidelines that will help us avoid pointspread losers at the Sports book.
Sportsbook value is something that many people search for everyday against the pointspread. Making sure that poor value games are avoided is a big step to finding the value winners. We all know that when laying 7 points if you should only be laying 5 points you are not finding good value at the sportsbook. What you want is to be laying fewer points than you should or getting more points than you should at the sports book. For example, if you are getting 7 points when your numbers show you should only be getting 6 points then you are getting good pointspread value at the sportsbook.
What we need to avoid is laying points in a game where we have no value at the sports book. Very often that means looking at betting the underdog first. This is not easy for sportsbook gamblers to do. It is human nature to want to take the better team. Taking underdogs, especially those that suck is not a pleasant thought to consider at the sports book. What we have to remember though is that poor teams can still offer us value if they are getting more points than they should against the sportsbook odds. We always have to remember that the sportsbook holds the edge and it is the bettor’s job to overcome it.
Sometimes the sportsbook gambler may find some favorites with value but it is more likely that value in the pointspread will be found with the underdog. Sports betting can be much like other forms of online betting where there is not much value in doing the same thing everyone else does. Sometimes you will see that a poor team is favored in a garbage game against another losing team in sportsbook odds. In this matchup of two losers taking the points is probably the way to go. You sure don’t want to be laying points at the sportsbook with a bad team.
If you look for value in sports betting you are going to be ahead of many bettors who do not. You have to start thinking like a sportsbook and look for teams that appear unattractive. That is oftentimes where your best online betting pointspread value will be. Open an Account today at SBG Global Sportsbook!
