There are a few roadblocks to overcome when getting into betting on sports
- Knowledge
- Availability
- Commitment
1) Knowledge is an ever expanding journey, one which we have several articles on & I’ll link the most recent here -> Finding your edge top down betting (article)
Understanding sports betting logic is a very obvious #1, the math behind what you're betting shouldn't be rocket science & hope the article above can help break it down
Next 2 issues kind of blend together (availability & commitment). That can come from being limited to living in states without a ton of books, from speed & allocated time available to the # of quality options on the table
Today we are going to discuss how you can go about overcoming some of these obstacles given the worst of conditions (Non legal state, not much time, not many options) though these will apply to anyone betting (who haven’t already done this)
2) Get a sportsbook account anywhere you have available
This is general advice, we are going to take it a bit more specific today. Get an account anywhere you can, but as a beginner that is a very scary statement splitting funds into a bunch of accounts and not sure how your experience will be, etc.. SO open accounts that offer great value & move slow (your time commitment will thank you)
Note before starting: This is general advice & I am not personally affiliated with any book below (though I have an account at each personally) the goal should be to have as many options as possible so you have more opportunities to get quality positions, but below are 3 that are available in most places + offer value to the avg bettor
The 3 books I’d recommend everyone have (+ Links, use em pls & thx)
1) NoVig - Get a free 25$
NoVig has taken over the sweepstakes market & is a great book to have in any situation. They are a low hold landscape which has a lot of value for bettors & being legal in 42 states makes it logical add for most everyone
2) Fliff - Slow and Easy
Some will hate Fliff, but where they are bad and easy to make fun of are where you’ll find value. They OFTEN move lines last in market, they are so slow to adjust and will give you alot of value spots
3) Prophet X - Get a free 10$ (hell yeah)
Another Sweepstakes platform which will offer super competitive prices and chances to arb within the day to day betting (especially to fliff)
Don’t get it twisted, if you have the ability to sign up for more books, you’ll have more success. Check out books available in your area
3) Ok sick now you’ve got 3 books which are available in your location, the move slow or offer competitive pricing. But you still don’t know WHAT to bet (remember, you are brand new and know nothing).. WELL WELL WELL. 1 more link for ya ->
