If it were easy to win betting sports, everyone would do it. Hordes of people would quit their jobs and simply stay home and pick games. But if you want to be a successful gambler, you have to put in a lot of work, just like Micky Rosaand his legendary U.S. roulette team did. The reality is that sports betting is a science and no one knows exactly what will assure a winning sports betting record. Most successful sports bettors have a few things in common, however.
Research
The main thing that a successful sports bettor is good at is research. Good sports handicappers don’t base their picks on the colors of the team uniforms, which team is their “favorite” or who “looks good” today. They take their time to study multiple factors before making their decisions.
Weather
Weather is a big issue in a sport like football. Some teams perform better in cold weather, others are warm weather teams. Cold weather usually means less scoring and more turnovers. Before making any assumptions about weather, be sure the teams aren’t playing in a domed stadium.
Injuries
Pick a game without looking at the injury report and you might as well be throwing darts at a board. A team is all about its players and if a star player isn’t 100 percent it could have a huge impact on the game. Make sure you know who’s in, who’s out, and who’s playing hurt.
History
Certain teams match up better against certain other teams. Take a look at how
these teams have played each other in the recent past. If the personnel on each
team is still relatively similar over these meetings, you may have a preview
of how the next game is going to turn out.
