Sports bettors are always looking at statistics, trends, film, and games when determining their next bets. They also use the “eyeball” test. This industry is based on numbers. Keeping the pulse of teams is very important to helping increase your bankroll over time.
A number of years ago, the Idaho Vandals football team (yes, they have one) was off to a hot start. We aren’t talking about their win/loss record. They were awful. We’re talking about their ATS record. They were the only team in the country to be 6-0 against the spread halfway through the season. While most recreational bettors typically wouldn’t have given the Vandals a second thought, professional bettors had been hammering them for weeks because the team was covering every week.
In 2008, the Detroit Lions made NFL history by becoming the first team to go 0-16 for the regular season. Again, this team was dreadful. However, they garnered a lot of support from professional sports bettors. Why? They were often times double digit dogs. In the games that the Lions were underdogs of 10 points or more, they were 7-1 ATS. A lot of professionals made a lot of money backing this dreadful team.
When scouring the weekly betting sheets, it is easy to give attention to the powerhouse teams. But as we’ve stated so many times before, a dollar won on a small market team (or in this case, a bad team) is the same as a dollar won on a big time team. Keep an eye out for trends on the bad teams. Often times they can be your most profitable plays of the week.
