Sports Betting Overview at SBG Global

Sportsbetting value is really an equation in which you assess what the odds should be and measure them against what the odds actually are.  The difference, if there is any, is the value of the play. The more of a difference, the better the online sportsbetting value will be. For example, if a team is in a game in which they should be a 1-point underdog, but they are instead a 3-point favorite, they are definitely not a sportsbetting value. In fact, since their opponent should have been a 1-point favorite but is instead a 3-point dog, that team is getting a four-point break in the price from what the sportsbetting odds should, in fact, be. Therefore that team is a value-added play and a team that you would definitely want to bet.  Sometimes as you look at the pointspreads you will be surprised where the value actually lies.

While so many gamblers try and complicate things, when you bet you want to keep things simple. All you are doing is looking for the best values on the online sportsbetting board. The trick is learning how to read and assess sports betting value. When preparing for sportsbetting, a great way to go about assessing value is to learn to set your own online sportsbetting lines, which you can then compare to what the actual lines are. Keep in mind that your online sports betting lines should be “pure” and based on what the actual merits of the matchup are and an honest line. Your “pure” lines can then be measured against the actual sports betting lines, which are based on public perception and what the gambling masses are likely to do.  And remember to make your own lines before the actual betting lines are released.

Trends, stats, and media reports are of a lesser value. They do not lead you towards sports betting value. Take a look at the sports betting odds and remember to keep things simple.  Look for value with your sports betting wagers this season.
