Not my words but it sum it up for an ACTION JUNKIE.
Betting Too Often
Another issue that bettors run into is the thinking that they should be wagering on every game, market, or proposition. There’s a big reason the sportsbooks have state-of-the-art equipment and a staff of experienced odds makers. It’s to make sure their markets are efficient.
Over the past half-decade or so, the sports media, including ESPN and other networks, have finally begun to realize the value of using betting lines to predict the outcomes of sporting events. They now mention odds in their analysis and cite betting lines in previews of games.
This is something that savvy sports bettors have known for years. Who knew that the people that make a living predicting the outcome of sporting events would be accurate? The point I’m trying to make is that, the odds makers are smart. They’re smarter than you, your neighbor, and the guy in the bar who sits around all day drinking and watching sports. In fact, they’re smarter than just about everyone who bets on sports, since the vast majority of sports gamblers are losers.
THE POINT IS THIS:
If you’re looking at the odds and see a ton of “mistakes” and want to bet every game on the board – you’re just kidding yourself. You’re not smarter than the odds makers, especially at some of the sharper sportsbooks online.
Betting every game on the slate is simply madness. Pick your spots. You’re not going to catch the odds makers with their proverbial pants down consistently. Line shop and make your wagers count.
Of course, there are going to be days when you bet more games than others, but for the most part, the days will be exceedingly rare that you look at the odds that day and begin to salivate.
There’s no shame in taking a day off either. It’s good to pay attention each day to the results of the markets you normally bet, but if you’re betting every day, it becomes a grind. There’s no shame in feeling burnt out and taking a break.
