Sports Handicappers - The hideous truth

Did you know that most sports handicappers don't win their clients money over time? The numbers are pretty simple. 50% of the bets on average are right, and 50% are wrong. In order to break even, you want to win 52.7% of your bets. Over time, nearly all handicappers don't cover that mark. There are a few ways to separate the good from the bad however:
- Does your handicapper declare inside information? I would disbelieve any handicapper claiming to have an insider's edge. In this competitive world, no one has any inside data worth knowing. Even if you knew a trainer with inside info (yeah right, any trainer would get fired if an association with a professional gambler was ever to come out) would that foretell whether team A would allow a garbage touchdown allowing team B to cover? Just check your favorite sports reporter's betting record over time, I'd almost promise they aren't willing to quit their reporting job to become a gambler and no one has more info than a beat reporter.
- Does you handicapper yell and shout? This is never a good sign when it comes to actual gambling records. What are they trying to mask by drawing attention to all of their yelling and screaming?
- Does you handicapper pursue a statistical system. This is a worthy sign. The only way to exploit incorrect point spreads is to be fully logical and look right through any biased advice. Numbers are numbers and they never lie. Mathmatical based handicappers have verified over time that they can uphold a statistical gain, and they do this by staying away from any opinions, biases or who their preferred team is. Over time, you would be prudent to put your confidence in someone who analyzes home and away teams records in certain point spread situations. If you were to learn that in College football, that the home underdog only covers 41% of the time when getting 5 points, wouldn't that be more important information than whether your handicapper thinks a star QB will shred his opponent's cover 2 formation and cover an 11 point spread?
While a lot of handicappers are charlatans, you can make good money with a statistically based sports handicapper. Throw biases out the window and let the numbers make your bets… You will be richer for it.
