How to Become a Winning Sports Bettor
Part 8: Learn to Breakdown and Cap Games
1) Initial Perceptions and Bias
First key is to not go in with a bias towards any team. Let the situation, trends, and match-up information do the work for you. Do not try to decipher what is going to happen in the game before allowing all of these factors to set in.
Do you think the Lakers are the better team in a game tonight? Do you think the Colts and the Jaguars are poor teams? Do you think the Heat are overrated and the Hornets are underrated? None of that matters; do not bring your biases into the discussion. Hold back on any decisions until all the information begins to set in.
