Sports Betting Strategy: Adding 2 to 4 Percent to Your Winning Percentage

by richallen

Did you know there is a simple sports betting strategy step you can take to add from anywhere between 2-4% to your overall winning percentage?  As I’ve mentioned before, you need to hit 52.7% of your straight bets to make even the smallest profit when betting so adding this type of value could make the difference between just getting by, or having enough to buy yourself a well-deserved gift.

Maybe a flat screen TV?  Or how about an addition on the house?  Whatever you spend it on that’s up to you, but the point is if you get these extra percentage points you will be able to make some serious money.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of buying a ½ point, let me explain.  Let’s say New England is a 6 point underdog at Indianapolis.  Now you buy a ½ point to make New England +6.5.  In doing this, what you’ve also done is raise your winning percentage from 52.9% all the way up to 56.5%.  These numbers are based on research I have done over the past 15 years of NFL and NBA games.

In the above example, you’ve added more than 3.5 percentage points to your winning percentage.  Over the course of a season, this could increase your win amount by more than 3 times.   Although most of the time you will have to pay some extra juice to buy a ½ point, there are instances where it’s absolutely worth it.
