Sports betting and fantasy sports are largely responsible for the NFL ratings skyrocketing above those of a Willie Nelson concert in the past few years. Sports bettors don’t know where to begin, despite the fact that they are eager to profit from sports betting. This can be a difficult process, whether dealing with endless touts that promise unrealistic winning percentages, determining which sportsbooks to trust, or simply determining which sides to take.
In addition to live odds from over 40 sportsbooks, public betting percentages from seven contributing sportsbooks, and highly profitable Best Bet picks, Sportsbook Insider is your one-stop shop for sports wagering services. However, novice bettors will need a lot more information to begin taking advantage of all the features our subscription offers.
Multiplying the Number of Sportsbooks Available
The ideal situation for bettors is to be able to access three sportsbooks: one that is sharp, one that is square, and one that is reduced juice.
A square sportsbook is an oddsmaker that caters to the casual bettor. In addition to having relatively low limits and excellent lines for underdogs and overs, these books usually have fairly low limits since novice bettors tend to back favorites and overs. Sometimes, half a point or more is off the market average at these sportsbooks.
In the NFL season, sharp sportsbooks often accept six-figure bets, and often take the highest limits on games. Overs and favorites at these sportsbooks are usually the best.
What are the Best Sportsbooks?
Although we don’t usually make recommendations, bettors should take a look at SportsbookReview.com for expert analysis and user feedback on offshore books. Look for books that are reliable, offer a generous sign-up bonus, or provide convenient cash out options.
The Same Unit Size Across all Units
It’s important not to overreact when a recent streak occurs. The best systems will win over the long haul, so keep your unit size consistent when you bet. According to most experts, it is recommended that you bet anywhere between 2% and 5% of your bankroll on each game. As we have discussed in the past, chase systems are extremely dangerous, as they allow touts to provide unrealistic winning percentages. When you’re on a winning streak, resist the urge to increase your bankroll; follow a flat betting strategy, and you’ll end up with long-term gains.
Live Betting Software
Sportsbook Insider allows you to view odds, public betting trends, number of bets, betting trends, and more from over 50 sportsbooks in real time. In addition to the Best Bet picks, bet signals (such as steam moves, reverse lines movement alerts and contrarian plays), a value meter, a line watcher, a line predictor, and much more are also included in the Pro subscription.
We offer a lite version of our Sportsbook Insider package, which is free to use, if you’re not ready to pay for a live odds service. In order to understand how the market trends and which sportsbooks differ from the consensus, a live odds service allows you to view how the market is changing.
Don’t Buy Picks From Handicappers Who Only Sell Them
There is no need to trust handicappers as they typically inflate their numbers. Right Angle Sports is obviously an exception to this rule, but these instances are rare.
The majority of handicappers will claim unrealistic winning percentages without providing a record of past performance. Since 2007, Sports Insights has been publishing its Best Bet record and we pride ourselves on our transparency. On our results page, bettors can find our most recent picks (along with the line use and the result).
