A Winning NFL Spread Betting Strategy

Most football bettors like to bet on the NFL. I am not an exception. But it is much more enjoyable now that I have discovered how to win using NFL point spreads. Over the last few years I have won between 55 and 64% of the games I bet. And many of the bets I place are based on nothing more than the point spread number and game situation.

Most bettors have no idea how they can use point spreads in the NFL to gain an advantage. They use the spread numbers only as a guide to interpreting their statistical handicapping. In other words, a point spread bet is nothing more than a guess.

If you desire to win betting on point spreads in the NFL, you need a strategy that will allow you to do it. That strategy has to be to bet on every game where the point spread number has shown a long term probability of the outcome going one way or the other. Any spread that has shown a 53% or greater win rate should be bet, and there are many that have shown such an advantage.

A winning NFL spread betting strategy uses verified information about the past performance of spreads over a long time. That information is applied by placing only bets where the advantage exceeds 53% so you are betting every game with a known advantage.

The result is that you will win money the same way the house does at every casino. They have an advantage on every bet. A winning NFL spread betting strategy will put that advantage in your favor so you can be the winner.

Sports betting on point spreads is the only opportunity in gambling that presents such an advantage to the player. But you can only take advantage of it with the right information and the strategy to apply it. Winning takes knowledge.

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.

Rice’s Absence Disappoints NFL Betting Fans


Pro Bowler Sidney Rice won’t be able to play for almost half the season, following his hip surgery on Monday. Rice had injured his hip in the NFC championship game against New Orleans Saints, the Super Bowl champions. The news of Rice’s absence from the team has left all the Minnesota Vikings supporters and NFL Betting fans disappointed.

The NFL betting fans were expecting excellent performance from the player this season. In the first two seasons, Rice had a combination of 46 receptions for 537 yards, along with eight touchdowns. In the last season, he caught 83 passes for 1312 yards along with eight touchdowns, and was successful in capturing a Pro Bowl bid.

Rice’s injury has added to the problems of the Vikes, as they are already dealing with Percy Harvin's migraine problem. Although there are reports about Javon Walker, former teammate of Favre, being chased by the Vikes to fill in for the injured player. But this news has failed to excite the NFL betting enthusiasts. Their NFL Odds to win the championship will be drastically affected if the injury riddled Vikes are not able to overcome the problem soon.
