When it comes to gambling and betting on sporting events in particular, there’s only one thing for sure. And that is, there’s no such thing as a sure thing. In some circles they still refer to it a “lock” and all the prognosticators and Touts have their special lock for the week. The high-energy sales pitch is geared to make people think this one particular bet will put free money in their pockets.
But that’s how touts and betting services stay in business. By attracting people with the offer of a free sports pick and all they have to do is pay a fee and sign up. So, it’s really not free. For the most part, the business these betting services attract is from people who know very little about sporting events, and what types of things can affect the outcome of a game, like injuries, home field advantage and the weather.
The one rule that’s always held and always will is, if you hope to come out ahead at the end of a season it’s going to require doing your homework. Only then can a person begin to spot trends and develop a system that’s based on playing the percentages, and not on throwing money away on free sports picks. Finding a trend has nothing to do with the Vegas odds. This is about discovering things that happen at least 65% of the time.

If you happen to discover a trend that proves out 75% of the time, put the books away and give yourself full marks. This is as close to perfect as one can count on in the sports betting world. Homework is study, and through study one might come across interesting facts such as, a particular team does well for the first 2 games of a 5 game road trip. So, here’s the start of a system and the next time this team goes on the road, it could be time to test this theory by betting them for the first two games of the trip.
By establishing these things, one can begin to develop a system, and this is the only sure way to have any chance at coming out on top. Remember, there is no such thing as a free sports pick. There are times when you win and times when you loose and if you get a free pick, and it wins, quit while you’re ahead because the odds are against it happening again.
