Football Sports Betting - Buying a Half Point in Football
Football Sports betting is best when a sports bettor can gain a sports betting edge in such a way to get better value for their sports bets. There are several options available at your disposal: the most common of all being the straight bet at near even odds (most online sportsbooks require $110 to win $100). Parlays and teasers allow for minimum risk and increased payout odds, but these are widely considered "sucker bets" since sports bettors must win all of their bets to claim their winnings.
Professional bettors often look at buying points and football wagering affords many great opportunities. A number of sportsbooks allow bettors to buy a half point to convert a minus 7 line into a minus 6 1/2 line. The half point may not seem like a lot but many decisions often rely on it especially when certain lines are presented. Half points in some ways can be comparable to measurements of earthquakes on the Richter Scale, a 6.2 can cause considerably more damage than a 6.1. The break-even point for buying a half point for ten cents with football wagering is a five percent chance of occurring.
Here are some numbers for the National Football League where the five percent or better applies, therefore sports bettors should try sticking to these specific numbers when buying points during their football wagering endeavors:
-7 occurs 6 percent of the time.
-14 and -17 should also be considered. The frequency for both is also 6 percent.
Focus on buying points if you believe the favorite will win by exactly 3. Consider options such as going from -3 1/2 to -3; -3 to -2 1/2; +2 1/2 to +3 and +3 to +3 1/2.
Refer to the money line as an indicator as to whether a -3 is closer to a -2 1/2. Normally, a -3 equates to -155 when wagering on a football money line. A money line of -150 would suggest the favorite is closer to a -2 1/2.
Remember too that in football sports betting, if you bet a team at -2 1/2 and its opponent at +3 1/2, with both bets at -110, sports bettors do have the same edge enjoyed by the books themselves.
