Sports Betting Advice - Line Shopping

First of all, make sure you live in a jurisdiction where it is legal go bet with an offshore outfit. For most Europeans this is not an issue, but they may feel more comfortable with their local betting shop or maybe Betfair. The problem with that is Betfair or the local U.K.-style book may not offer the odds on the games you need to get down on. So that is the first issue to get taken care of: make sure the sportsbook takes odds on all American sports, not just pro football. You need MLB, college basketball, the works.

Next, you must, and I can not stress this enough: you must have multiple outs. Why? Well there are a couple reasons for this. The first reason is so you can line shop. Maybe you have an account at a sportsbook that takes a maximum bet of ,000 or under. That indicates to me they are a 'square' book. This means they only want square action. For those unfamiliar with the term, a square is a favourites bettor. They bet on the well known teams because they do not follow the sport that closely. If you are betting at a square shop, there is a chance you are not getting a fair line. They will just keep raising it on the popular teams (like the Los Angeles Lakers in basketball, or the New Orleans Saints in football) and that makes it even harder for you to win. If you have to keep laying an extra 1 or 1.5 points on games, eventually that will catch up to you.

So if you have multiple betting accounts, you have the flexibility to line shop. If you want to bet on the underdog, then the type of sportsbook described above definitely works in your favour. If they are going to keep jacking the line on the favourite, this is a great place for underdog betting. Now let us say you have set up an account at another offshore outfit. This place takes a maximum bet of anywhere between ,000 and ,000. That means they are taking sharp action and they can not afford to move their lines off of what the true number is.

Even if they are getting lopsided action (and you can forget about shops trying to balance action 50/50, that is a myth. I am not sure if that ever was possible but it sure as heck is not now) they can not stray off the real line or else they end up taking a ,000 bet on the other side in which they were giving out a favourable number. That wipes out most of the potential profit on a game. But this is a great place for you to do your favourites betting. Even if they take a big maximum bet, 99% of the shops still will have a very low minimum bet, usually as low as .
