Sportsbook value is what gamblers continually search for. Sometimes finding that precious little word is often much more difficult than saying it. Sports book gamblers around the world search for value each day as they look at pointspreads but sometimes finding it is a very difficult endeavor indeed.
Sportsbook oddsmakers set the pointspread hoping to attract action on both sides of a game. That is what they officially tell you anyway. Sometimes it is not true. There are pointspreads every week that the sports book oddsmakers don’t want equal action on. The sportsbook may have taken a position on a game and wants money on one side. The pointspread may sometimes reflect this fact. That is where you may find value at the sports book.
What we want to do as sportsbook gamblers is look for the games in which a team is overvalued on the pointspread and get on the other side. This may also be the side the sportsbook themselves are on. Your goal as a sportsbook gambler searching for value is to try and get the same mindset that the professional players have. The average gambler doesn’t think from the sports book’s perspective and they don’t look for value. You can do better.
If you want to be a winner this season you have to do more than just what the average bettor does at the sportsbook. Pointspreads always have something behind them. It could be that the TV games have sides that the sportsbook wants the public to take. It could be that certain games are trap games set by the sportsbook oddsmaker. The goal for you as a sports betting gambler is to look beyond the obvious and look at sometimes the exact opposite of what everyone else thinks. And it is not easy to do.
There is no absolute answer as you search for sports betting value. The pointspreads don’t scream at you, telling their exact story in online betting. Oftentimes they will give you clues though. If you see a game that looks too good to be true it probably is. If you see a fishy looking pointspread at the sportsbook be careful. Traps are all over the place and it is your job to stay away from them when betting at the sports book. It is also your job to find the sportsbook pointspread values each and every week without missing too many steps.
