Making Your own Point Spreads: The Real Key to Finding Value
If you wish to be a winning bettor, be it in horse racing or sports betting, you must always insist on getting a fair price, or value, when you make a wager. What does really mean? When you make a bet on a horse race or a sporting event, you are literally buying a ticket on that event. It is only natural that you would want to bet a fair price for your purchase. And make no mistake about it, purchasing a bet on a horse race or a sporting event is every bit as important as purchasing a gallon of milk or a pair of shoes.
The key aspect of making a good, informed purchase of a bet on a sporting event or a horse race is in determining exactly how to determine what is a fair price. You can bet the oddsmakers believe that they are making a fair line, but only for them. Remember, their goal is to take the same amount of money on both sides of a game. The only realistic way that a bettor can determine if they are getting a fair price for a bet is to make their own betting line or point spread.
There are many ways to go about making a point spread. Some handicappers use previous lines and results as the basis for making their lines, while others use statistical analyses of available data. The scope of this article is not to teach you how to make your own point spread. Rather, the point is to make you aware of the need to make your own betting line.
Your personal point spreads should be made by looking at a schedule only and prior to viewing any of the betting lines and point spreads offered by the sportsbooks. If you are accurate in making your point spreads, then you can easily compare your line to the sportsbooks' lines. By comparing the two, you will see discrepancies emerge. The discrepancies are where the value lies.
As a sports bettor, you must always insist on receiving a fair price for your bets. Start practicing the craft of making your own betting lines and watch your win percentage soar.
