Successful betting on sportsbooks, or successful handicappingrequires a substantial amount of homework and a systematicapproach to gambling and money management. Profitable gamblingon sportsbooks games has its price and you must be willing toput in the time and research.

Top Sportsbookswill show you some of the things you'll need to know to makebetter picks and win more money this season.

1. Always approach the sportsbooks games in terms of an entireseason.

Don't try to win big on one game and set your goals to win moregames than you lose over the long haul of an entire season. Ifyou are serious about success, you must make a plan and remaindisciplined. You should plan the proper bet size on each play orgame. You should never risk more than 5% of your bankroll on anyone play. I would guess that most of the sportsbooks gamblersare wagering too much on each game and ask you not fall intothat same trap.

2. Narrow your weekly gambling choices down and make qualitybets.

Narrow your weekly gambling choices down to no more than sevengames per week. It's a rare week when more than a few games willstand out as good gambling values. Find these games and you'llbetter your odds of winning more than you lose. Whatever systemyou use for your sportsbook betting remember to keep it simple.You don't want to worry so much about how much each play isworth and forget to handicap. If you want to be successful atsports betting remember that money management will be important.

3. Look for the best early moneyline and point spread values inthe season.

Take advantage of early season point spread and money line valuebefore the odds makers have had a chance to catch up with whichteams are hot and which teams are not. During the early part ofa season, look for teams that are playing much better or worsethan expected to get your best value. Many novice handicappersconcentrate on how a team performed the previous year, but inthis era of salary cap constraints and constant roster turnover,teams never perform at the same level in two consecutive years.In addition, teams that performed well the previous year are nolonger a good value because you are laying

a much higher pricewith them, especially at the beginning of the next season. Startyour handicapping analysis before the season starts so you'll beready to take full advantage of the first few weeks of theseason.

4. Find the best odds and gambling lines.

One last place to look for value is in the line itself. Withhundreds of online sportsbooks already in existence, and morespringing up every season, handicapping lines and point spreadswill vary from one sportsbook to the next. Having multipleplaces to shop for the best lines offer bettors an extra pointon many games. A few extra wins that would have been pushes, andpushes that would have been losses can make a huge difference ina handicapper's bottom line at the end of a season. A fewminutes of shopping around for one last chance of additionalvalue will make certain that you are getting the best odds foryour gambling dollars.

5. Use research not trends.

The first type of a sportsbook gambling method is where youresearch as much as possible about the teams and the gamesspecifically, weigh all the relevant substantive factors as bestyou can, and arrive at your best educated guess as to the likelyoutcome. The key to this method is a lot of research. The moreinformed your opinion or intuition is, the better. The secondmethod involves looking for specific trends that appear to hitat a greater than chance rate, and then betting the games thatfit these trends. The overwhelming majority of such trends havelittle or no predictive value whatsoever. One reason I say thisis because there are an infinite number of possible trends likethis, so of course you can always go back after the fact andfind as many as you want that have hit at a surprisingly highpercentage. But you want to identify the ones that will continueto hit at that above chance percentage, and that is a veryelusive task. For all intents and purposes, ignore trends andconcentrate on trying to figure out who is the better team andby how much.
