Football and basketball are the two most favored sports in the USA, next only to MLB baseball. Football gets a lot of media hype, it’s no surprise really as the audiences are smaller and most people are more interested in the larger marketer sports, like MLB baseball. NBA basketball gets pretty much the same amount of media hype and bettors also love the more difficult to predict game, like NFL football.
We often see the odds offered for football and basketball as compared to the odds for baseball. One must always keep in mind that Las Vegas and bookmakers aren’t in business to gamble; they’re in business to make money. People will have a much harder time beating the odds in football and basketball than in baseball. That’s a fact that even those novice gamblers know better than anyone.
In craps, the bettors have the edge because they know the house advantage in real-life is less than it is in football and basketball. A common thought is that since the probability of a successful craps roll is so low, what’s the point, it doesn’t pay to bet. However, that doesn’t explain the common knowledge that most bettors believe the game to be a game of pure luck.
In craps, the players have the edge because they are playing against the casino dealer rather than each other. However, the players are playing against the casino and not each other. Hence, the popular superstitions and odd-betting theories can be explained by the fact that most people have a superstition or an opinion on any game and it’s usually not based on facts.
Going back to the comparisons, it’s likely that Vegas and Atlantic City are the only two places you will find baseballbetting.com. Not all bookmakers have the same odds. Not all bookmakers pay out at the same time and not all bookmakers have the same payout policies. There are, however, some standard practices that you should encounter no matter where you bet, such as setting a limit on your losses and sticking to it, regardless of your bankroll.
You will also want to know about any incentives the bookmaker offers. Many will offer bonuses. You can get the most leverage by looking at the best value bookmakers. Don’t automatically pick a bookmaker because they are “friends” or “Togel Hongkong.” They are showing themselves that they are responsive and potentially variable in their betting patterns. You can tell them to be tighter or looseners by watching how many big bets they make in a row or any other statistical pattern.
However, it’s important to know the differences and what it takes to make a successful sports betting career. The old adage says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to be an expert. However, there are experts who have been doing it much less time, such as Daniel Pasta, the “Craps God.” Pasta researched and developed a highly accurate dice technique, which allows the player to hit the middle of the shoe as often as possible, without using too much of his bankroll. He has been playing for about 30 years and, although many claim he has no strategy, his system does provide a systematic way of playing craps. The system is the basis of many of the bets now commonly placed, such as “free odds”, also known as the “line bet.” Using the system, the casinos lose their edge and the players, such as Pasta. He claims the system abandon the house advantage on seven or eight. Although it is not commonplace, some systems do exist, claiming to overcome the house advantage. They are almost always scams.
The absolute best system is to write down the craps number and, using the box bet, bet the number repeatedly until you win. If you lose, you write down the number again and bet the number until you win. Then you start the process again. The true experts say that the house edge in the house made 5.26% on one roll and about 7.89% for seven rolls. They also calculate that on one roll, the player loses about $.50 for every $1 bet. To eek the odds a little, they even bleed money for every $100 bet. How disastrous.
If you want to be a professional gambler, you won’t find it easy, however everything is possible. The absolute best advice is to find a good system and stick with it. At least I can say that, after 20 years, I tried and improved my betting systems in all of them. You will also find that the best advice is to listen to people who have been there and have been through the same things I have. Yes, certain things will work and certain things will not.
