Most winning odds in football?

What many people do not realize is that successful betting is not about picking as many winners as you can. Instead, it is about finding spots where the odds are in your favor, so that you can get your money down when you have a positive expectation. To do this effectively, you MUST understand the concept of value.

• Point Spread

It is a way for oddsmakers to make a matchup between two unbalanced teams more balanced by giving points to or taking points away from each team.

The favorite in a matchup, indicated by a minus (-) sign, will have a given number of points taken away from its final score, while the underdog, known by its plus (+) sign, will have the same number of points added to its final score.

• Moneyline

A moneyline bet simply involves you picking one of two teams to win the game. No catch, no angle, just the right answer or the wrong answer.

Each team in a matchup for a moneyline betting option is given a separate numerical value for bettors to wager on and these are called “odds.” The numbers, or odds, are determined by oddsmakers and sportsbooks based on how the two opponents match up, and each number is displayed with a minus sign (-) or a plus sign (+) in front of it.

• Over/Under

A sports betting OVER/UNDER is a bet where you have to correctly predict the combined score of both teams. You have to pick if the total score will be lower or higher than the number set by oddsmakers, the people at betting sites who set the lines and odds.

Example: Arizona Cardinals vs Baltimore Ravens game with the total set at 48.5 points. As a bettor, you would select the OVER if you believe the game’s final combined score will be 49 points or more. You would select the UNDER if you believe it will be 48 points or less.

At the sportsbook, the odds would be llike this;

48.5 OVER -110
48.5 UNDER +105

• Props

a prop bet is a wager based on incident or non-incident during a sporting event. Unlike point spreads, totals or straight up wagers, these incidents may not affect the outcome of the game or even the final score. Props are considered novelty bets since they can deal with individual player or team milestones.
