Sports Handicappers - The hideous truth

Did you know that the majority sports handicappers don't win their customers money over time? The numbers are pretty simple. 50% of the bets on average are right, and 50% are wrong. In order to break even, you need to win 52.7% of your bets. Over time, most handicappers don't cover that mark. There are some ways to separate the good from the bad however:

- Does your handicapper declare privileged information? I would disbelieve any handicapper claiming to have an insider's edge. In this competitive world, no one has any inside data worth knowing. Even if you knew a trainer with inside info (yeah right, any trainer would get fired if an association with a professional gambler was ever to come out) would that foresee whether team A would allow a garbage touchdown allowing team B to cover? Just check your favorite sports reporter's betting record over time, I'd almost guarantee they aren't prepared to quit their reporting job to become a gambler and no one has more info than a beat reporter.

- Does you handicapper yell and shout? This is never a good sign when it comes to actual betting records. What are they trying to mask by drawing attention to all of their yelling and screaming?

- Does you handicapper pursue a statistical system. This is a worthy sign. The only way to exploit wrong point spreads is to be fully logical and pay no heed to any one-sided information. Numbers are numbers and they never lie. Mathmatical based handicappers have demonstrated over time that they can maintain a statistical advantage, and they do this by staying away from any opinions, biases or who their favorite team is. Over time, you would be prudent to put your trust in someone who analyzes home and away teams records in certain point spread situations. If you were to discover that in College football, that the home underdog only covers 41% of the time when getting 5 points, wouldn't that be more helpful information than whether your handicapper thinks a star QB will rip up his opponent's cover 2 formation and cover an 11 point spread?
While a lot of handicappers are charlatans, you can make good money with a statistically based sports handicapper. Throw biases out the window and let the numbers make your bets… You will be richer for it.
