Tip 2: Bet Against the Public
This is one of our most popular and important sports betting tips. The tip is simple: always bet against the public. Which ever team the public is loading up on, simply bet the other team. There is a reason why sportsbooks are in business. SportsInsights.com pioneered the use of betting percentages data from online sportsbooks to “Bet Against the Public”. We have data from 2003 to the present to support the claim that “Fading the Public” is profitable. Read Research Proving that Betting Against the Public is Profitable

Tip 3: Betting Percentages

Use the betting percentage data found on Sports Insights to help determine the true worth of any betting line. Knowing the Home Team is favored by a betting line of -7 is one thing. Knowing that 90% of all the bets placed on this game are coming in on the Home Team -7 provides a clearer picture.

Tip 4: Bet Favorites Early, Underdogs Late
Any seasoned sports betting professional knows that the public loves to wager on favorites. Use this to your advantage. Most sharp players are underdog players because of the value in buying back betting odds bloated by the massive influx of square (public) money.
