Reading the box scores is one of the oldest tricks in the business, but make sure you know what you’re looking for! Don’t just read the box scores to see the rushing or passing yards, because 60% of the stats in a box score will be about the same for each team, but you want to focus on “how a team lost a game”. Did a team turnover the ball 5 times, did the QB throw 4 interceptions and that team is a UNDERDOG this week? Stats like these are very important when reviewing the box score, because they don’t show up in the betting number the following week by the bookmakers. Do you think the Bookmakers will tell you this type of information? Give your head a shake, they want your money and want you to be part of their 90% club! What do you think the coach is going to focus on during practice the entire week if their team just had 9 turnovers last week? Follow the line and see if they are an underdog and if the UNDER is worth a look.
Imagine winning a 7 team parlay and the payout is $13,500, but when you go to your Sportsbook to cash out, they say they don’t have you on file or they can’t find your ticket that you won! I’m pretty sure you’re going to “SNAP”! It’s very important to do a bit of research on the Sportsbooks you’re going to be sending your money too. One of the best things to do is go to sports betting portals like Phoenix Sports and Vegas Insider to see who their sponsors are, because respectable portals won’t let new Sportsbooks advertise with them, because nobody knows anything about them. Google your respected online Sportsbooks and read up on their reviews.
