That is likely the time they are going to go cold. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-09-22 | In games involving teams with different styles of play, you can often correlate side and total.

For example, some books will count a push within a two-team teaser as a loss, and others will refund the bet | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-10-17 | You might have a planned angle, but don't chase live bets. If it's not there, don't force a bet | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-17 | Look at advance stats when a teams record does not reflect their overall performance. (i.e. N.Y. Giants are 22nd in Yards Per Play) | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-18 | Take caution betting on teams with aging superstars. The brand name may still be there, but the talent may be diminished. I.e. Tom Brady, LeBron James | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-18 | When browsing gambling Twitter, be sure handicappers are posting games at current numbers, rather than a number that is no longer available. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2022-10-18 | Pay attention to commentators when they're discussing the identity of the teams that they're covering. They get a lot of access to teams throughout the week and can give you insight to the state of the locker room and information that you can file away for later | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2022-10-18 | Don't bet trends blindly.

Be wary of fading those teams too much | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-10-21 | If a team is playing a big game you think they'll win, it might be worth sprinkling on a corresponding futures bet as well | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-10-21 | Make sure to manage your time with so many sports in action, continue to focus on the sport that your doing well at, but don't overlook places where you could take advantage of a blind spot. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-23 | Be willing to adjust your power rankings on older players and teams quicker than younger teams, as older teams hit the wall sooner. i.e. Packers, Bucks, Lakers, etc. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-10-24 | If you're certain a line is about to move, sometimes it can be worth grabbing in the moment and figure out if you want to hedge off later | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-10-25 | Pregame betting fundamentals can be used for live betting. If everyone is betting one side live and it's not moving, there's a reason | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-25 | If your primary sport has fewer games on the slate, don't feel the need to bet other sports just to have action | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-10-25 | Sportsbooks are busy with NFL, CFB, NBA, NHL & MLB in action. Find ways to take advantage of this with slow to move numbers | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-10-25 | Your unit doesn't have to be the same for every bet.

You can still make a profit with less risk | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-10-26 | Don't be afraid to put a very small bet on a super longshot future if you think there's a chance something is about to change. i.e. if Malik Willis has to take over for the Titans, he has amazing value at 100/1 to win Offensive Rookie of the Year right now | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-26 | When star players get injured, it provides some of your best in-game betting oopporutnities. i.e. Damian Lillard getting hurt in the middle of Trail Blazers' game | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-10-26 | If you are successfully betting or fading a team (and no adjustment is being made on the line) keep taking it! i.e. Keep fading the Lakers | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-10-26 | The Fallen Star Theory... don't go running to bet against a team in a sport like the NBA just because they are down one of their stars. The line will adjust, and often times we see players take advantage of the playing time | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-10-27 | Look for bets that are based on the same outcome but have different odds.

Study what makes other bettors successful. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-10-31 | When the trade deadline is approaching, be careful when placing bets on teams who might be making moves. For example, Kareem Hunt is a potential trade candidate and may not play as much as usual tonight | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-10-31 | Trends don't pay the rent! Use trends and betting info for more entertainment purposes rather than basing your bets on them | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-10-31 | Yes, heding off a bet might be -EV, but sometimes it's worth it to lock in a big profit.

Don't feel the need to bet everything because with so much going on you can miss important news and line moves | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-09 | If you like a favorite but you feel like you're laying too many points, find a correlated prop to play | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-09 | Consider motivation as a part of your handicap when teams are located in the same cities or states, as underdogs tend to have value in those situations | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-10 | Check lines midweek when there is a suspected injury as bookmakers will typically hedge their bets on a line and you can find good value with good information. i.e. Josh Allen | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-10 | Look to fade teams in unfamiliar spots, like favored teams not used to being favorites | VSiN PrimeTime | ALL | 2022-11-10 | Make sure you have multiple apps available if you are a prop player, different apps have vastly different offerings and odds | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-10 | Look for players in the revenge spot against their old teams | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-11 | Don't always stick to your numbers if there are outside factors to include. i.e. playing a basketball game on a boat | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-11-11 | If you see a line move, don't always trust it's the right move. Sometimes it's based off of shaky info, bets from just one person, and more | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-14 | Watch the game and recognize when it's just not a team's night. Even if you come in with preconceived notions, don't be afraid to back off when you recognize that | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-14 | Don't just use statistics alone for handicapping, as they do not always reflect good coaching, e.g. NY Giants football, Providence basketball | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-15 | If you miss the line you're looking for, don't chase just to try not to miss out | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-15 | There is more variance in sports like NFL and college football with less games in a season, rather than 162 MLB games or 82 NBA games | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-15 | If you make your own power ratings, cross reference other people's ratings to see how they compare | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-16 | Remember to shop prices even within the same shop. If you believe in some awards will go to #1 seeds, compare the prices of the awards and the odds to finish as #1 seed | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-17 | Keep in mind for your handicap, our brain watching a game doesn't process everything the way analytics can | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-11-17 | Recognize which sports you're good at betting, and which you're not good at betting on. Just because the World Cup is starting soon, doesn't mean you need to be betting it daily if you don't know soccer | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-17 | If a prop is moving significantly on the day of, don't chase it to its peak. At some point you lose all the value | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-18 | Never assume how a book will handle your bet on a game that has changed venues/days/times. Check house rules to make sure what you have live and what may have been cancelled | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-11-18 | Always be honest with yourself as a bettor. If you're going through a losing streak, look to see if there's a reason why | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-11-18 | Professional bettors rarely work alone. Form a small network of trusted handicappers and share information. | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-11-18 | If your long-term approach has been consistently profitable in the past, stick with it. | Pro Football Blitz | ALL | 2022-11-20 | Don't chase your bets. If your system isn't working, try to reconsider your strategy. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-20 | Don't always trust scoring and point differential because outlier games (like Cowboys vs Vikings) skew the numbers | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-21 | Consider what the books tell you when you're surprised by the favorite. TB beat SEA & DAL beat MIN the last 2 weeks. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2022-11-21 | The Broncos should be a team to fade with all the turmoil surrounding this team and their coaching staff. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-11-21 | Make sure you factor the quarterback change into your handicap tonight. The market saying Kyler Murray to Colt McCoy is worth about 2 points | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-22 | Just pre-game betting limits your ways to win. Make sure to look at different in-game opportunities and always think about different ways to attack a certain side/total/prop and how it might be best to bet | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-11-22 | We always talk about price shopping, and that is definitely important from shop to shop, but make sure to do it within the same sportsbook too. Can often find better odds on the same kind of bet you’re targeting | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-11-22 | It’s ok to dabble in sports you aren’t well-versed in. But don’t overextend yourself betting on sports you haven’t done the proper research on | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-22 | When handicapping player props, try to look for soft spots on opposing defenses | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-23 | Plan your holiday betting strategy in advance, as the Thanksgiving holiday can be filled with distractions and annoyed relatives | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-23 | Anticipate line movement as a part of your handicapping strategy, try to grab lines before they reach key numbers | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-24 | It's always a good practice to go through past results at the end of a season and review what you did right and what you did wrong. Might help shape your betting strategy for next season | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-11-24 | Don't force bets today. There's a ton to bet on, but only make these bets if it's something you would normally bet if it were any other day | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-24 | Always know house rules for suspended games, games called early, games that move locations, etc. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-24 | Be careful of misleading picks while navigating gambling social media! When you come across a posted pick, check the line at your book to see if it is actually available | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2022-11-26 | If a pregame spread is hovering around a key number, consider waiting for an opportunity to bet in-game once the spread has crossed the number. | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2022-11-26 | Compare a team's turnover differential with other defensive stats. Are they really a good defense or are they just benefiting from turnover luck? | Sunday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-11-26 | Hold yourself accountable for your bets. Don't blindly follow the advice of others and blame someone else if a bet loses. | Sunday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-11-26 | Use live betting to hedge your position on a game if you sense weakness in your pregame play. | Sunday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-11-26 | Believe your own eyes and numbers and dont get influenced by media hype. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-27 | Don't be afraid to use new data and don't let outside forces like news of the player and his past (Watson) influence your handicapping of the game like the Browns -7 against the Texans. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-27 | Do not go on tilt if you take a bad beat or two, because that's when you can really do damage to your bankroll. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-28 | Home court and home field advantage in college athletics can be mitigated over holiday breaks when the student body is not on campus | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-28 | Don’t be jaded if you don’t maximize a winning bet and have it affect your future bets. (i.e. not taking a Moneyline underdog, instead taking the points) | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-11-28 | Don’t bet preseason short shots to win a futures bet. It’s not worth tying up your money for that long without a bigger payoff. Ex. The Astros obviously have a great shot to win the World Series, but at +550, it's probably not worth locking up your money for almost a year. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-28 | Even the best reporters can get it wrong. Manage your bankroll responsibly when reacting to breaking news | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-29 | Give more credence to the underdog when you have 2 teams playing from the same city or state, as the crowd is likely closer to 50/50 | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-29 | Pay attention to teammates’ reactions when star players are benched, look for opportunities to bet on those teams. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-29 | When you have a future ticket on a team favored with the ticket on the line, take the points and potentially win both bets | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-11-30 | You don’t necessarily have to adjust a team’s power rankings after each win or loss. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-11-30 | We talk about bankroll management being important, but that doesn’t always mean just unit size. Think of your betting like a pie chart. Split up your money correctly for which sports you do best with. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-30 | Look for spots where popularity & handle don't match. 45% of bets on WAS-NYG on Under but 75% of money. WAS is 8-4 to Under, NYG is 7-4 | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-30 | Back teams, players and coaches that the market has trouble gauging. Like Heinicke who is 11-1 ATS | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-11-30 | Applebaum: Monitor initial line moves and if there is buyback before following steam. In BUF-NE buy back never came, line dropped to -4 | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-01 | Look for value in awards markets as the end of season approaches, some awards are not necessarily correlated with their team’s prospects for the rest of the season. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-01 | Set the same standards for every team in your handicapping process. Don’t knock a successful team for small warts and don't try to build up mediocre teams. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-01 | An easy place to get a leg up for new bettors is just shopping futures prices. It is easy to find major differences often. i.e. Virginia 30-1 vs 16-1. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-01 | Be wary of massive crowd support for one team vs another in the World Cup | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-01 | Bet as early as possible when bowl lines come out. Lines can move more than a TD in 2-3 weeks before a game | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-12-02 | Sometimes when it rains, it pours. If you can see and feel that a team is mentally out of the game and the momentum is lost, play the other side, as long as there’s still value. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-12-02 | Reminder on live betting games on streaming services: you HAVE to wait for commercial breaks. The game action can be so far ahead from what you are actually seeing. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2022-12-02 | Don't always trust your gut. If you've handicapped the matchup correctly, trust the numbers. Your gut can be misleading, numbers never lie. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-02 | Powers: Motivation discrepancy is the biggest factor for bowl games. If you can handicap that correctly you can be successful | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-02 | Factor personal revenge storylines into your handicap on sides, totals and props. Like AJ Brown facing his former team this week | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-04 | When teams have limited turnover with rosters and coaches, past results can have more meaning and value in handicapping. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-04 | Stick with what’s working in terms of good and bad teams, don't overthink or get too creative. i.e fade the Louisville Cardinals in college basketball | Brent's Countdown to Kickoff | ALL | 2022-12-04 | Miami is a four-point underdog despite an 8-3 record. Over the past five seasons, teams with at least a .700 winning percentage are 17-6 ATS when getting at least 3.5 points in games in November or later. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-05 | Look to bet on teams that transfer multiple players from the same location. i.e. Deion Sanders going to coach Colorado and bringing players from Jackson State. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-05 | Do not discredit experience in your handicapping. It is very rare that players and teams are successful in their first big-time spot. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-06 | Not every trade or waiver wire pickup is relevant, just because you’re hearing about it on TV or social media. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-08 | Do not place too much emphasis on one data point or outcome, as outliers occur to the positive and to the negative in all sports. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-08 | Be wary of betting on teams with a history of late-game collapses. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-08 | Give yourself options when placing bets. Know which sportsbooks are best for futures, in-game and have the best overall values | VSiN PrimeTime | ALL | 2022-12-09 | Do not be stubborn if your pre game bet is not looking good, if you have a chance to hedge or counter your bet in-game. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-09 | Get multiple betting apps. Shopping around for better numbers will let you maximize your profits. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-09 | Pay attention to the juice on spread and totals, it will tell you which way the number is about to move. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-11 | Be mindful of player prop bets that the juice is not -110. The higher prices you bet, the more you will need to hit to break even. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-12 | When betting player props - focus on ones where there are multiple ways for the player to reach their mark to maximize your chances of winning. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-12 | You do not have to sit on a position after further information proves it to have been a bad one. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-12 | Take screenshots of your bets via apps. This gives you evidence to hold books accountable and follow if your bet has been canceled | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-13 | When analyzing futures, consider tiebreakers as a part of your handicapping process. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-13 | It may sound callous and cold, but injuries can provide great live betting opportunities. You should look to take advantage of those situations. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-12-14 | Time, score, situation, pregame spread vs live spread… all factors you need to include in your live betting strategies. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-14 | When it comes to contests like survivor, or even just betting futures in general, you should always consider ways to lock in a profit. Maybe you don’t want to at that moment, but at least run the numbers. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-15 | If you are on a cold streak, don’t start forcing plays that you wouldn't otherwise play and don’t lay off plays you might otherwise bet. Keep the status quo. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-15 | Don’t be discouraged when your handicap goes off the rails because of a fluke play or a bad call. Variance happens. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-15 | Always. Shop. Around. We spoke about most receiving yards earlier in the show. Justin Jefferson +130 and Tyreek Hill +130 were both found in Vegas. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-15 | If in a contest, or have a big futures bet, don’t feel bad seeking out advice on how to play it/hedge it. | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2022-12-16 | Buy the sports bettor in your family a book for Christmas.
Here are a few good books...
King Yao's book
ANY poker or sports book by Ed Miller.
Sharp sports betting Wong
The Smart Money by Konik | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2022-12-16 | Athletes are humans too. When they have any stress off the field it could impact their play too. Don't just handicap a previous performance. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-19 | If you see odds shifting dramatically (like the Eagles/Jalen Hurts markets today) before reports come out, the sportsbooks likely know something we don't yet. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-20 | If you have a lean on a team that is going to surge late, look for player awards that will correlate with a late-season run. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-20 | Sometimes the best bet is the bet you don’t make. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-21 | Hit the Oscars lines early and look for correlations with other awards nominations. i.e. Best Actor and Actress correlate with the SAG Awards, Best Director with DGA Awards. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-21 | Keep in mind scheduling spots for large favorites, as earlier start times to not bode well for them. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-21 | It is important to have multiple sportsbook options when news breaks and you have to act fast. After Carlos Correa's signing, the Mets World Series Odds varied from 10/1 to 12/1 and are now down to +500 at some books | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-22 | Take a look at how teams have been playing recently as opposed to over the course of the entire season, as teams get injured, recover from injuries, improve and get worse. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-22 | In leagues with high variance like the NBA, buy low and sell high in futures markets when it’s still early in the season. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-22 | Don’t shy away from bets that have long term value just because of a short term negative spurt. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-12-22 | Sometimes waiting for an in-game number is better than betting pre-flop. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-22 | Don't bet heavy favorites mid-season for end of season awards | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-23 | As opposed to jumping into heavily juiced markets at the end of the season, explore alternate ways to essentially make the same bet. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2022-12-23 | Never tear up a ticket until it is really dead. You never know what could happen in sports. Look at the NFC South. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-12-23 | Generally speaking with in-game betting you will find way more favorable numbers to fire on. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-25 | Consider player prop unders in general because most people tend to bet overs. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-25 | Santa prefers chocolate milk, consider that next Christmas Eve. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-26 | Don’t judge somebody else’s unit size because if the bet is meaningful to them, it is a meaningful bet. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-26 | Take a look at who is playing or not on bad teams towards the end of the season as an indicator of whether or not they are tanking. i.e. Colts starting Nick Foles = Bad | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2022-12-27 | Unless you are absolutely enamored with a game, wait for the 2nd half to bet it. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-27 | Focus on non-mainstream props and beat the books at them. Ex. Yes/No Run in the 1st Inning in MLB, Grand Salamis. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-12-28 | You don’t always have to chase the late line movement. If you don’t know why the line is moving, don’t assume you’re missing out and leaving money on the table. Gather all the facts, and fire away if it makes sense. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2022-12-29 | Be careful who you follow on Twitter and emerging social media platforms. Do your own research! | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-29 | Bad beats are part of betting, you have to recognize that. It is the price of doing business. When you become good at this it will happen more frequently. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2022-12-29 | Frank B: When betting player props, almost anything that can go wrong works against the OVER. This is why UNDERS have been superior for over a decade. Includes: injuries, benchings & game flow | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2022-12-30 | Managing your time is just as important as managing your bankroll. How much time you spend putting in doing research, staying on top of the latest news and notes can go a long way in cashing tickets. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2022-12-30 | How to become a bettor better in 2023? Track your bets, log your bets, and have parameters to see what you do well and what you don't. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-01 | If your handicapping has been successful in the past, don't change your strategies solely because of the new year. | VSiN PrimeTime | ALL | 2023-01-02 | Dog to favorite late movement is very valuable, when a dog becomes a favorite you will want to bet that side. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-01-02 | As we saw in CFB today, it's never over until it's over. Never tear up a ticket. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-02 | Make sure you check the implications for teams before betting in Week 18. Many teams this week have little to no motivation. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-03 | As bettors, we get caught up in the day-to-day grind of betting which can cloud our opinions when betting futures. The market is very reactionary to great performances each night. Take a step back and look at the entire pathway for that particular ticket to cash. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-04 | Know your betting strengths and weaknesses. Just because you like watching the NFL, doesn’t mean you should be betting as much on it if you’re a more profitable bettor in something like Premier League soccer. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-05 | Look towards line movement as an early indicator of injury or load management news. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-05 | Don’t get overly distracted by line movement and “sharp” money, focus primarily on your handicap. | Pro Football Blitz | ALL | 2023-01-08 | Don't chase your bets. It' no fun being in a bigger hole | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-09 | Don’t be afraid to bet against what you saw last, because recency bias is going to be priced in the line. Be an anticipating bettor, not a reactionary bettor. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-09 | Remember, the biggest advantage you have over the book is they have to post every game, you don’t have to bet everyone. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-10 | Sometimes the obvious play is the right one. Playing a player prop over the total when a player is facing their former team, facing another MVP candidate, or playing on their birthday can be valuable. Players are humans too, and rise up on certain occasions. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-01-10 | News-based betting can be very profitable… but be prepared to swing and miss on a couple too. i.e. Josh Allen’s shoulder injury, Deshaun Watson to Falcons. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-11 | If a team has historically done bad in the second half of games and they get out to a strong first-half start, consider fading them in the second half. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-01-11 | Keep an eye on things like NBA straw polls. Will give you a great idea of how voters are viewing award markets vs the oddsmakers. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-12 | Be wary of false line moves based on bad information regarding a player’s injury status, as reports that come from a player’s camp tend to be less reliable. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-12 | If you laid off a pregame wager and you see the game going the way you would have bet it, that doesn’t mean jump in on the in-game line and chase a winning ticket. You laid off betting it pregame for a reason, move on to the next wager and bet confidently. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-12 | When making your own lines in your head, make sure to also think about the range of numbers that are a BET ON for you and at which point it becomes not a bet for you. | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2023-01-13 | NFL teasers can be smart plays. Basketball teasers are a bad idea because the lines are not as tight. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-01-13 | Pay attention to the juice on spreads and totals, it will tell you which way the number is about to move. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-01-16 | For awards markets like Most Improved Player in the NBA, look at past winners and their resumes when making bets. This is one that often follows a pretty basic formula with the winners. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-17 | Don't just blindly bet on or fade streaks. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-17 | With most of the public bettor’s eyes still on the NFL, now is a good time to get involved in futures markets like college basketball, NBA, and NHL. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-01-17 | Bet numbers, not teams/people. Shop around and look for stale numbers on the same bet. Bookmakers make mistakes and you can benefit | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-18 | Always be sure to check start times when you make a wager to be sure it is not a quirky scheduling spot. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-18 | Sometimes it is better to wait for more information even if you potentially lose value on line movement. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-18 | Don’t be so stubborn about your biases that you can’t admit you are wrong. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-18 | Don’t be afraid to play underdogs after a significant line move due to an injury announcement that might have been assumed in the originally posted number. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-01-18 | Make sure to shop around prop markets within sportsbooks to hopefully find better value bets than maybe a straight spread or ML bet. i.e. betting Cowboys and Bucs in the divisional round stage of elimination. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-19 | Look to play player props UNDERS, especially key players in playoff situations. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-19 | Take the profit however you can, don’t be concerned with however other people are betting. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-19 | Don’t force bets. Regardless of sport. The biggest advantage you have over the sportsbook is they have to post every game, but you don’t have to bet on everyone. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-20 | Keep your head on a swivel, and be proactive. Sometimes there can be a line posted in a market that is slow to move in shops. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-01-20 | Remember how crowds in certain cities can influence the decisions of judges in sports like Boxing and UFC. Could be something in play this weekend in UFC. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-22 | Consider fading the noise around questionable injury situations and corresponding line movements that seem to go too far. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-22 | Just because it is a public play, does not mean it is the incorrect play. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-23 | Track your bets in unfamiliar sports before placing any wagers. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-23 | Try and notice when players are in situations where they’ll either rise to the occasion or get extra added attention where they struggle in a particular matchup. Particularly when a player is facing their old team, you can find value in either playing over or under the prop number depending on the type of situation. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-24 | Take a look at the context of your bets and why they did/did not hit because all bets are not created equal. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-25 | Take caution when looking at injury reports and news updates because teams might not be completely honest. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-26 | Consider a live betting angle where injuries are a major pregame concern. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-26 | You’re not always going to get the best number, which is frustrating as a bettor, but don’t get so obsessed with a side that you’re willing to play a bad number. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-01-27 | With all eyes on the NFL this Sunday, take advantage of betting on other sports while the books are slow to catch up. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-01-27 | In an always expanding menu, make sure you know exactly what you are betting before you buy a ticket | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-29 | Thre are more games to bet on other than the Super Bowl. Book will make sure their liability is 50/50. Some of the best lines are in other sports now. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-01-30 | Pay attention to when a coach calls their team out publicly for lack of effort or toughness. You can find value in playing that team with the expectation that they’ll bring some extra effort in their next matchup. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-01-30 | Never chase your losses. If you were a 49ers bettor yesterday, it would've been very tempting to bet bigger on the next game. Keep your units consistent, no matter how much you are down. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-01-30 | Regarding the Jaren Jackson story, there are a lot of great betting takes on the internet, but there are many bad ones out there too. Especially from people with agendas. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-01-31 | When handicapping totals over the long term, try to anticipate game flow and overall team efficiencies and inefficiencies. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-01 | Late-game variance is a part of betting and should even out over time. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-02 | Don't be afraid to jump off a trend and sell high on teams when you get a fortunate cover. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-02 | If you are coming to Vegas for the Super Bowl, sign up for the betting apps early so you don’t have to wait in lines on the day of the game. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-02-02 | If you’re out at the sportsbook and you grab a betting sheet, check the board to see if the line has moved. Not every book is going to reprint their sheets every time they move the lines. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-02-02 | If you’re thinking about a random bet you’d like to make… there’s likely a betting market for it. Like NBA players to be traded. There are a lot of books out there, and it benefits you to have as many as possible so you can shop these different markets. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-02-03 | Sometimes it’s worth paying attention to recent form over the numbers. Teams can trend in different directions at different times throughout the season regardless of what the stats may indicate. Recent form can be an indicator of how a matchup could potentially play out. | VSiN Big Bets | ALL | 2023-02-03 | Try To avoid betting -115 if you can. You have to go 53.49% on -115 bets vs -110 bets you have to go 52.38% to break even. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-06 | Historic milestones usually lead to overinflated numbers. Keep that in mind when evaluating the Lakers with LeBron's quest for the NBA scoring record. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-06 | Consider fading a team that just played in a big rivalry game. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-07 | Look for opportunities to bet underdogs and unders, instead of favorites and overs. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-08 | Prior to any trade deadlines, monitor the Twitter handles of notable reporters and look for value in the futures markets before the numbers move. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-02-08 | The Super Bowl brings many promo offers within sports betting apps. Sign up for as many as you can to take advantage of free bets. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-12 | If you are transitioning sports, take a few days to absorb knowledge before jumping in with any wagers. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-12 | Don't talk yourself out of an obvious play. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-13 | Keep the people in your life otherwise satisfied, so you have ample time for your handicapping. Don't forget Valentine's Day! | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-02-13 | Make sure you have multiple accounts set up for live betting. Ya know, in case one of them goes down. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-14 | Keep in mind a team’s track record in close games when handicapping a game with a tight spread. | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-02-15 | When you’re in-game wagering, you’re betting on what you’re projecting to happen, not on what has already occurred. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-19 | Don't bet on games where you have more invested than the players themselves. i.e. NBA All-Star Game | VSiN Live Bet Tonight | ALL | 2023-02-20 | Don’t let your conviction on one side of a matchup allow you to get in the habit of playing a bad number. You should try and get in the habit of trying to get the best of it to save yourself from playing bad numbers on a regular basis. | VSiN Final Countdown | ALL | 2023-02-20 | When a new season or sport starts up, it's extra important to log your bets. Track what's working and what's not and see what you can learn. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-21 | Consider players injured before or at the beginning of the season that returned and improved their team’s performance for the remainder of the season. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-22 | Do not have a one-size-fits-all approach for games with player uncertainty due to potentially controversial off-the-court/field circumstances. Take each on its own merits. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-02-22 | "trends don't pay the rent". Be careful just betting purely just on trends. Many can be explained as to why they are happening. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-02-23 | Don't blindly back trends. Handicap each game on its own merits. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-03-02 | Temperament is important with your bankroll management. Find and stick with your plays. If you love a game, fire on it. But don't try and make up losses on games you don't love. You have to win too many extra games to do that. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-03-06 | Steve Fezzik: Stop looking at sports betting like a final exam by prepping all day and placing all of your bets at once later. You will miss numbers you like this way. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-03-06 | Bankroll management is something we talk about often because it’s extremely important to betting success. You split that bankroll into game betting, futures betting, live betting, etc. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-03-08 | Listen to people in the know and read between the lines of what they say. A lot of analysts, coaches and players speak in coded language. There is information you can use in your handicap from that. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-03-20 | Amal Shah: Be careful betting favorites of more than -140 too often. If you bet -110 you just have to be 27 of 50 to be profitable vs 30 out of 50 at -140. Just lay the points if you think the team will win and get better juice. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-03-20 | Keep in mind when doing contests and betting, the states that allow you to bet on colleges in that state and the ones that don't. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-03-23 | Just because it’s a bigger game, doesn’t mean you need to bet bigger. Only make larger bets if you really think you have a larger edge. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-04-04 | Watch how public interest impacts betting lines. The Women's CBB Championship was an example of a public-loved, flashy Iowa team adjusting the spread from its true value. | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2023-04-08 | Make sure to shop around the same sportsbook to find the better prices for the same bets for example if you want to bet over 5.5 games in the Cavs-Knicks series you can find a better price for the Cavs to win in six. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-04-13 | When betting futures there may be an opportunity to hedge, but make sure you aren't betting so much on your hedge that you completely mitigate your original bet. | Live Bet Sunday | ALL | 2023-04-16 | If you miss a number in the live market, let it go. It’s better to occasionally leave money on the table, then getting in the habit of chasing numbers. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-04-17 | Amal Shah: Don't be obsessed with following the steam and missing out on the absolute best number. Just pick the winner. Winning tickets are the key. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-04-20 | Even when you're running hot, don't force plays. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-04-21 | Watch for opportunities in "soft markets". These consist of postseason awards and the NFL Draft. Vegas and the books do not have hard data for odds in these events and props, giving bettors a potential advantage. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-04-27 | Don’t try to access your betting accounts in outside states. Even if it’s just checking lines. You can often get locked out and it can be a pain getting it unlocked. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-05-01 | Steve Fezzik: Anything above a 3-team parlay doesn't pay what it statistically should to the bettor. Be careful going too crazy with anything 4 teams and up. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2023-05-02 | Rest is a huge factor in Game 1s of playoff series. We saw the very rested 76ers beat the Celtics without Joel Embiid in their first game. The same can happen in the NHL. Take that into account when you are looking at betting the first game of a series. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-05-03 | Evaluate returning superstars after injuries before making any wagers, as they may not be at 100%; don’t restore them to their full value until they are 100% healthy. | VSiN PrimeTime | ALL | 2023-05-03 | When a playoff series is beginning, it may be smart to hold off on betting heavy, wait an see how the teams match up. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-05-04 | Do not change your handicapping strategy after just one loss. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2023-05-04 | We have three playoff Game 2s tonight in which the home team lost Game 1. Higher-seeded teams tend to bounce back in these spots. Don't be afraid to lay the points / juice on the home favorite. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-05-05 | Trends can be helpful, but make sure to keep sample size in mind. Never want to overreact to small sample sizes. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-05-10 | Scott Spreitzer: Focus on games/teams/leagues that you know well when starting your handicap. Don't force bets on what you haven't followed as closely. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-05-11 | When looking to get ROI on a Series Winner ticket, think about hedging with the other side on the Series Price, don't go game by game. The latter could burn you twice | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2023-05-16 | Correlate your bets for a single game. If you like the Lakers tonight, there’s a good chance their players go over their prop totals. Don’t bet unders for players on the team you think will win. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-05-18 | Even when it comes to live betting, make sure you are price shopping. Different books will have different hold percentages on live markets. | Sunday Bet Prep | ALL | 2023-05-20 | Always do the handicap, don’t just rely on trends. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-05-26 | Whenever you see a trend on social media being bet. Look to fade that bet. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-05-28 | Just because a team is a chalky favorite doesn’t mean it has no value and just because a team is an underdog doesn't make it a good bet. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-05-30 | If your focus is on one sport, this is a good time to switch gears and refocus on the sport you want to zero in on in the Summer. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-05-30 | When betting a futures parlay, or any parlay with a massive payout, cashing out could be a good option. You are still able to make a massive profit with multiple outcomes still not completed. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-05-31 | If you are holding a ticket for a parlay with a massive payout, you should absolutely guarantee yourself money if there is a proper spot to hedge. Avoiding risk is always advised if the numbers are right. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-06-01 | Sometimes you need to see it before you can bet on it. If you think a struggling team or player is due for a turnaround, but don't want to take the losses until it happens, start firing in after a turning point or first good game. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-06-01 | Limiting the number of sports you bet on and handicap could be beneficial. Gambling too often and on too many different sports can cause you to lose sharpness in comparison to betting a few sports you know well. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-06-06 | When looking at season-long player props, in order to take an over, you must have a larger edge than on a normal bet since injuries can derail a season-long over. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-06-11 | Do not be influenced by recency bias, take the full season into account when making your handicap. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-06-22 | When betting events like the NBA and NFL Draft, for the most part, you are not going to be just placing one bet and walking away. These markets constantly move and the goal is to beat the movement. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-06-30 | The Match took place yesterday and the underdog hit, it's always a good idea to take the value in random out-of-the-norm events where bookmakers may be guessing as much as you. | The Lombardi Line | ALL | 2023-07-01 | On any futures bet where you have to wait a significant amount of time, make sure you have a narrow field to choose from. Otherwise it’s likely not worth the risk. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-07-02 | With the MLB All-Star Game approaching, don’t dive into markets you’re not familiar with because you don’t have any action in your normal sport. | The Handle | ALL | 2023-07-02 | With the sports betting world at a slower pace, more people are jumping on available markets earlier and earlier (like on UFC cards). Lines will change earlier than usual, so get your bets in as soon as you can when you like a number. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-07-07 | People misuse the term value too often. It doesn't just mean a plus price. Value should be thought of in terms of the likelihood of the bet cashing. | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2023-07-08 | When betting awards markets if there is a number that can allow you to take multiple players at a better number take it. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-07-09 | Take this week with less going on in the sports world to see where some of your bets this season have gone right/wrong and identify your strengths and weaknesses as a bettor. | The Handle | ALL | 2023-07-09 | Track your bets. You will always be able to learn something from your results. If you tracked them for last NFL season, reflect on how you did as you head into this season. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-07-10 | Do not get heavily invested in exhibitions and games that do not count for a regular season standing. You don't want to be in a situation where you heave more than a very small amount in a game that won't have a big affect on the players on the field/court. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-07-13 | Value is value. Don’t be afraid to make a bet that you believe still has value, even if you missed the best of the number. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-07-13 | Look for false favorites in the futures market. Victor Wembanyama is -130 to win Rookie of the year. He HAS to play 65 total games to win this award. There is value in other players lower on the board. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-07-14 | Don't be afraid to bet on a contrarian team. Betting inst a popularity contest and some times you can fade these teams the public is all over. | Saturday Bet Prep | ALL | 2023-07-28 | Look for injuries to key players creating opportunities to buy dips in the futures markets. | Sunday Bet Prep | ALL | 2023-07-29 | You don't necessarily have to bet on a team just because they are on a current winning streak. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-07-31 | Sometime the best futures market fade is to take a look at the no for championships and playoffs. Try to identify markets that give a no option for winning a division, championship, etc to find value on what is essentially a field bet to fade a team you aren't bullish on. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-08-01 | Reminder you don’t always need to enter each weekend with pregame bets. Live betting can often be one of the most profitable approaches. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-08-03 | Bookmakers are less unsure of NFL Lines and College Football lines in the first couple of weeks. That's why they will limit your bets until the event gets closer. Live betting can be profitable during these weeks too. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-08-09 | If a talented/successful team suffers an embarrassing loss, look for ways to back them in a rebound spot. The Las Vegas Aces snapped an 8-game win streak, losing by 38 on Sunday. They bounced back with a 20-point win on Tuesday | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-08-20 | Know who you are as a bettor, not everybody is a great handicapper of every sport. Know your strengths and weaknesses. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-08-22 | With public teams, sometimes a price adjustment for their struggles never comes. The Yankees for example continue to be a favorite despite being the least profitable team in the American League since the All-Star Break. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-08-23 | Always check house rules when unusual circumstances (postponements, rain delays) arise during a game. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-08-30 | Sometimes the best fade of a player/team is by betting on a different player/team to succeed. Example: the Arizona Cardinals are getting faded like crazy and rather than bet an under 3.5 win prop, banking on the Rams to finish exactly 3rd in the NFC West at plus money where the Seahawks & 49ers appear to be a clear top 2 can be a roundabout fade. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-08-30 | Damar Hamlin has made the 53-man roster in Buffalo, he is a -285 favorite to win Comeback Player of The Year. That prop could be a great parlay piece with another future favorite to get a better price. | Sharp Money | ALL | 2023-09-04 | Just because you missed the longest/best of a future bet's odds, doesn't mean it no longer holds value. If you think the market is off, then it is worth betting. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-09-04 | Week to week line movement in college football can provide a lot of opportunity. Nebraska was -7 for Week 2 vs. Colorado until the Week 1 results came in. Now Colorado is the favorite. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-09-05 | Just because you might have missed the best of the number in the futures market does not mean that it isn't able to be bet. If you still have great value on a future that has moved and believe it is profitable, still consider shopping around and making the bet. | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2023-09-09 | When live betting, look for situations where teams are showing improvements and the market has not corrected. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-09-12 | Being quick to bet a future game after in injury can provide great closing line value. Occasionally books are slow to pull a game off the board after an injury like we saw with Aaron Rodgers and the initial reposted line might be either an over or underreaction. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-09-15 | Don't overreact to week 1. But don't bet scared if you think the better team is going to cover, don't let the overreaction talk scare you out of a bet. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-09-20 | Never feel the need to have an exact amount of bets in a day/week. Bet where you see value & don't be forcing plays on a lighter week or not betting edges on a higher volume week. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-09-21 | When gauging how much an injury affects a team, handicapping the skill of the player being elevated in a bigger role is the key to how much to downgrade a team as the backup is normally the more unknown variable. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-09-28 | Always check house rules as to how bets will be settled in strange situations like the suspended Marlins vs Mets game from Thursday and they can vary quite a bit. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-02 | Some of the biggest edges you can find in handicapping can be by finding angles not involving stats. Players fighting for contracts and trying to stay motivated after getting a big pay day are things to keep note of and be mindful of. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-10-04 | The sports equinox is upon us. Don't get overwhelmed with all the sports and feel pressured to place a bet on a play you are not 100% comfortable with. Stay disciplined. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-10-06 | Last winless/undefeated team is a great example of a prop to make sure you know house rules on. Some books grade it week-to-week while others will stick exactly to the wording. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-10-09 | We often take the time to reflect on what went right, and what went wrong during games we lost bets on. Make sure to spend that time after winning bets as well. There are always lessons to be learned. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-10 | Do not underestimate the impact the crowd can have on the outcome of a game. A home team with minimal crowd support might actually lose juice while crowds for teams like the Philadelphia Phillies can be an X-Factor that is hard to quantify in numbers and power ratings. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-11 | When betting series prices, if you think a team that is in a elimination spot will come back and win multiple games in a row to take the series, bet the moneyline individually on the first game of the comeback and roll over the winnings rather than bet the updated series price. The payout will be better and it gives protection in case of an unexpected injury. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-12 | A lot of playoff formats do favor teams coming in with momentum and minimal rest. Happens a lot with college basketball teams that win their conference tournament and we've seen it with the success of Wild Card teams in baseball the past two seasons in this current format. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-16 | Sometimes when uncertain about a game changing player's status for a game, it's okay to wait to bet and trade a little bit of closing line value for better intel, like the uncertainty surrounding Max Scherzer going into Game 3 of the ALCS. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-17 | Be mindful of teams that have seen a reversal in the role they are in. Some teams that do a great job of covering and winning as underdogs often find difficulties when they become the favorite and vice versa. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-18 | Darn near every sports league on the planet is currently going on, don't feel the need to have action in every one of them. Stick with betting leagues you have a good comfort level with and a track record of success with. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-10-18 | Remember if you’re following a bunch of trends, make sure there is enough of a sample size for it to be a true trend you should follow. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-19 | While trends can be your friend, often time when a trend becomes mainstream and talked about is when it starts to fail. Never bet based on trends alone, being aware of them is a good thing, but they should not be the sole reason for bets. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-10-20 | Remember, the biggest advantage we have as a bettor against the book is we don’t have to bet every game and prop, but they do have to post them. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-23 | Never blindly bet/fade a trend, but be aware of them. If you notice there's been a big run on unders, it likely means totals are being suppressed and signaling that things will likely start to iron out soon. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-10-24 | While you don't want to use historical matchups as gospel for handicapping a specific game, be aware of one team had owned a specific matchup like the Nuggets now having won five straight against the Lakers. | VSiN PrimeTime | ALL | 2023-10-24 | Do not blindly follow surface level trends, make sure you understand the sample size the trend refers to. | Follow the Money | ALL | 2023-10-30 | When looking at receiving props for the MNF game between Lions and Raiders, keep in mind Amon-Ra St. Brown is currently questionable for Detroit. And Las Vegas has favored Meyers over Adams. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-10-31 | Sometimes the best bets are the bets not made. Remember, you don’t have to bet everything, but the book has to post everything. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-03 | While modeling and power ratings are great to have and can influence bets, you need to make sure you’re using the correct data points, or following people who use the right data points. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-08 | Make sure to keep part of your bankroll set aside for in-season futures bets. Almost no matter the sport, you’ll find an award bet, win total, or other future you want to bet. | VSiN Tonight | ALL | 2023-11-09 | Meráki Greek Grill is a top 10 Las Vegas restaurant.
-Matt Youmans | Live Bet Saturday | ALL | 2023-11-11 | When betting in the futures market make sure to take into account home much your investing and that it doesn't outweigh your short term upside. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-13 | The bad beats will happen, but so will the lucky wins. Make sure to recognize when you benefit from those positive endings, or else you’ll drive yourself crazy as a bettor. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-11-15 | Always be cautious about evaluating players in their first game after returning from an injury. Most players in nearly any sport needs at least a game to regain their rhythm and should not return to their normal worth in their 1st game back. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-16 | Make sure you have enough money in accounts at multiple shops so you can do the best job possible of shopping lines. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-11-21 | When you see extreme totals like the Pacers vs Hawks in the NBA and the low Iowa football, know that the bookmakers have set these totals demonstratively high and low for a reason. Additionally, a lot of trends show super low totals have a high under rate and the high ones a big over rate. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-22 | If dealing with apps that have the “accept any line changes” option, make sure that is off. You always should know what line you are betting. | A Numbers Game | ALL | 2023-11-23 | If you mainly bet spreads, keep in mind that each point is worth less in games with a higher total, and more in games with lower totals. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-11-29 | While finding juicy trends is fun and if you get on them early it can be highly profitable, often times the moment a trend gets talked about is when the trend dies out. When betting hot trends, always makes sure to have more of a reason for the bet other than just the fact that it is a trend. | The Greg Peterson Experience | ALL | 2023-11-30 | If there is a player you like in an awards market that is playing in a stand alone game like Thursday Night Football can provide a great opportunity to find value.
