Football Betting Systems

When we talk about sports investing we are not only referring to random picking of football teams and games to bet on. For the most part of the activity, a true blue sports bettor will use a solid football betting system or strategy while considering the prevailing betting odds. Most of these wagering systems are based on a specific form of rating scheme where a particular football team is assigned a numerical value based on certain critical parameters such as league ranking, recent team performance and home advantage.

If you are engaging in sports investing for the first time, it is a must that you first familiarize yourself with the dynamics and nuances of the games as well as the rules of the sport before you can start developing a solid football betting system or strategy. This task can be easily completed if you have prior knowledge or background on the sport as a tactician, informed spectator or even as a player. If it is your first time to get involved in this form of sport, it is best that you watch and carefully analyze collegiate and pro league matches so that you will learn how the games are being played.

It is true that you cannot possibly find a specific football betting system that offer a 100% winning clip. Further, these wagering systems are not created equal. You will find a wagering system that has a much better winning clip than the rest. In addition to this basic fact about wagering systems, you must also remember that a particular system or strategy that worked perfectly well in a specific football season may turnout to be a total failure in the current season. For instance, pro league football punters may analyze the team standings in forecasting the outcome of the matches. One bettor may adopt a specific football betting system that states that in situations where the home team is about 3 or more spots higher than the opposing team, then the home team will most likely come out the winner.

This betting option can be correct over the course of 3 seasons. However, this betting strategy should not be taken in absolute terms. The more seasoned sports bettors will also have to take into account goal difference, player on the injured list and current team form. These variables are considered when analyzing the betting odds that are being presented on a particular matchup.

NFL Sportsbook: Dolphins Sign Curtis

The Miami Dolphins have signed a contract with Kevin Curtis to strengthen their wide receiving end. This news has delighted several NFL sportsbook fans.

The 32 years old Curtis is expected to provide some depth for the team, whose receivers have been suffering from injuries this season. Brandon Marshall has sustained a hamstring injury recently. Brian Hartline on the other hand will be missing the remaining season as he has undergone a hand surgery last week.

There are reports that Curtis had not played in the NFL this season, as he was fighting testicular cancer. The reports also said that Curtis underwent surgery in September to get the cancerous testicle removed.

Curtis had appeared in only 12 games during 2008-09, as he sustained several injuries. He has recorded 252 receptions for 3,291 yards along with 20 touchdowns, in his 79 career games over seven seasons, which he has played with St. Louis and Philadelphia.

In 2007 he set his career high record of 77 catches and 1,110 yards with the Eagles.

The betting enthusiasts believe that, with Curtis in the team, the NFL Betting Trends will certainly change for the Dolphins.
