subject: Sports Betting Strategies – Getting The Best Football Picks [print this page] Football, as the name suggested is a ball sport played using the players' foot. However, today, this is not the football I am going to talk about. I am referring to American Football. Does NFL sounds familiar to you? How about quarter backs and running backs? I am quite sure many of you out there are a big football fan and think that you know everything about football. Then, you move on thinking that football betting is as simple as it seems. After all, isn't sports betting always about picking out the winning player or team?
The answer is a BIG NO if you want to be truly successful in sports betting and particularly in wagering on football games. It is not about placing your money on your favorite NFL team and then getting the award after the game.
When you are investing your money into football bets, make it the same like you are investing money into stocks. Learn everything about the team just like you would read through the annual reports to understand the company. Look out for the strengths and weakness such as key injuries, their offensive and defensive capabilities. There are a lot of external factors that affect the team performance. For instance, introduction of new rule and regulations or playing ground directly changes the team outlook.
Lastly, bear in mind of the point spread system placed by sports books. You need to be sure of the team's ability before deciding that they are able to beat their opponent by the point spread indicated by the book makers. So, do up your homework before placing any bets on football.
