I just received another unsolicited football guide in the mail called the "Insiders Betting Digest." I was excited to discover tons of great advice inside, including the following gems. The bold headlines are mine, and the quotes are from the Guide.
Boring Offenses = Always Play Under
"If the Ravens are playing the Titans (yawn), you can be pretty sure that it will be a low-scoring game and the under is the smart wager."
- Lucky for us, the Ravens do play the Titans on October 5 this season. So, Under it is. It makes it easy when you don't even have to think about what the number might be.
But if the Patriots played the Bengals...
"Both teams can light up the scoreboard, so the over bet could be the smart wager (although the oddsmaker also knows this and will set the total high)."
- Wait, that part in parentheses makes it sound like maybe you have to actually look at the number and make some kind of decision. Too much effort. Don't like it. Moving on to the next one.
Moneyline Favorites = Sure Thing
"A moneyline bet is good if you can pick the winner with confidence but are not too sure about the margin of victory. Granted you may not get the best odds without any points given, especially when betting on the favorites, but if you parlay a few favorites together, you can still get a very nice payout."
- Got it. Take the obvious favorites on the moneyline and parlay them all together. Apparently, this is the way to achieve a very nice payout. Any more advice?
Always Take the Favorite
"Most recreational bettors flock to favorites, and why not, as the favorite is the team that should win the game."
- Indeed. Why not? I am going to make soooooooo much money this season.
Nothing for us in the afternoon today. Back later with tonight's action.
