Sports Betting Lines

A Look Into Smart Money

In college football sports betting, a smart money move would be a shift in the sports betting line of at least one and a half points from the opening sports betting line to the closing sports betting line.  A sports betting example would be if Kansas State was favored by 6 points over Missouri with the opening sports betting line posted at online sports betting websites and casino sportsbooks on Sunday Night.  If by kickoff on Saturday, Kansas State climbed to an eight and a half point favorite this would be a swing of two and a half points in sports betting money for Kansas State, which caused the sports betting line on them to increase and become much more expensive.  Using the smart money theory of sports betting, therefore, Kansas State would be considered the smart money team.

In the same sports betting example of Kansas State and Missouri, however, if late money came in on Missouri that took the sports betting line back down from eight and a half to seven the game would NOT be considered a smart money game because it closed with just a one point differential from the opening sports betting line posted at sports books and online sports betting websites.

Many sports betting studies have been done regarding smart money moves and the results are that smart money moves are no better or worse than the regular sports betting player’s football picks from home when he bets against the sports betting line at online sports betting websites or the sports betting player than hangs at Las Vegas sportsbooks on Saturdays. 

In September, at the start of college football season, sports betting players will notice a considerable amount of volatility with the sports betting lines both at casino sportsbooks and online sports betting websites.  Much of this has to do with pre season publications touting which college football teams have a lot of returning starters and which teams were depleted by graduation.  Many sports betting players fall into the trap of being overly influenced by these reports when making their college football picks against the sports betting line. 

As the college football season wears on sports betting players should also be aware of smart money hysteria regarding injuries, coaching rumors, tough losses or big wins from the previous week, teams that may be looking ahead, etc as sports betting players look for edges against the sports betting line.

CLIENT SUCCESS

"One hell of a month! I joined around the 2nd week [of the month] and the first 2 days you went 0-7. But I believed in your approach. That is, flat bet, long-tern, discipline, etc. Moreover, by your emails and website you seemed to be one of the few honest sports handicappers. So, I stuck with you and your philosophy. I am now kicking ass. I realize that there will be [streaks] so I'm staying the course. Thanks for restoring my faith in sports betting."

"Great job on Sunday! I have been with many different handicapping services and you by far have been the most honest and straight forward with losing streaks as well as winning streaks. And I love the fact you do not have “lock of the weeks”. Great job and looking forward to a very successful [year]!"

"I have subscribed to quite a few professional sports handicappers and have given blind faith to most of them with respect to their "professional picks." [Often] I have done better with my own picks. No doubt. It's just a very time consuming process and I don't have the time to research my picks [for every sport.] I have found Mark to be the best for his customer service, accessibility and dedication. There is no comparison to anyone I have ever dealt with."

"The service I have received has beat every sports handicapping service I have tried.  Your straight up analysis has made me rethink many of the games I would have played and more times than not, you were right.  Great job this year!  I just signed up for another football package and am looking for yet another pofitable year with the Shark!"

"You have beat me over the head with the money management discipline, and it is finally sinking in.  I wish I would have listened to someone like you years ago.  With your system and excellent service, I have been on the winning track for several months now.  And you were right, this is now FUN. Thanks Mark!"
