ALWAYS USE YOUR HEAD IN BETTING
Welcome to yet another edition of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and of course, I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Football Betting 101. This is in preparation for the coming football warfare in the NFL and the NCAA. Oh yeah, you'll be unceremoniously schooled again.
Yesterday, I thought you guys how bookies work around betting lines. Yup, they make it as favorable for them as possible. Now you know, and the best that you can do is continue hunting down the best betting lines available. Don't just stick to one bookie.
Today, I will teach you guys something you can practice to keep the Benjamins rolling. So on that note, here is today's Football Betting 101.
Use your head.
Yes, using your head is as important to this sport we call betting as to that of real life. And in betting, using your head means betting with your head, and not with your heart.
For example, you're from Baltimore and you like the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have a game against the defending Super Bowl champions, New England Patriots, and you very well know that the Ravens will be most definitely creamed on this one.
Being the true Baltimore local that you are, you bet on the Ravens.
What happens next is almost automatic. Another win for the Patriots and another month's pay gone to the bookies.
A classic example of people betting with their hearts was the fight between Muhammed Ali and Larry Holmes. Larry Holmes was the younger and stronger fighter, yet to taste defeat and he was going up against an old Muhammed Ali, way past his prime.
Common knowledge will tell you that Larry Holmes should be the odds-on favorite to win. It turns out that Holmes was only an 8-5 favorite over Ali.
That's another edition of Sports Betting Lessons. Keep it here on these pages because I'll keep on letting the truth be told. This is Professor Jeffdstuff, signing off. Peace!
