What You Can Do To Make Money Betting On the NFL
With the NFL season back in full swing, it's the perfect time to talk about a passion that millions of people have - sports betting!  And there's on American sport like the NFL that gets as much gambling action as the NFL and college football.  Question is, can you make money betting football?
Absolutely!  There's plenty of people that make good money on sports, and football can be a very profitable sport.
As you might guess, 98% of sports gamblers lose in the longrun.  For most people they bet on sports knowing that the odds are against them.  They place their bets based on a gut feeling or what team they like better.  It's extremely common for some people simply to bet on their favorite team all year long.
For most people, it's just a form of entertainment.  I think that's fine and I can assure you so do the sportsbooks and casinos!  If you want to profit from sports betting, you have to be very selective in your bets and have strong money management skills.
Just like an investor in the stock market, a sports bettor that wins will hunt for value.  This means looking for betting lines that offer a profitable opportunity in the longrun.  Professional sports bettors will use numerous different techniques to hunt for value including some complicated statistical analysis.  However, let's go over some of the simpler things you can look for when betting on football.
First off, and this applies to any sport you bet on, you can often take advantage of betting against a team that has a huge fan base.  This is because the bookies know that more people will naturally want to bet on their favorite team, so they skew the line.   For example, perhaps they have the Cowboys as 5 point favorites when in reality they should be favored by 3 points.  They do this simply because they want to avoid getting all bets coming in on Dallas.
This hold especially true when the team with the big fanbase is up against a small market team that doesn't have many fans outside of their city.  In this case it's worth considering betting on the small market team as the line may not be set to "fair-value".
Another NFL betting tip is to look for underdogs that are playing at home.  Although they are underdogs for a reason, in many cases you can find value as teams playing at home - especially poor teams - play a lot better when on their own turf.  I always pay close attention to these games.
Betting on sports is not only incredibly exciting, but if done the right way it can be extremely profitable!
