Betting Strategy

  • Buy or sell points around key numbers (3 and 7) when crossing them costs 10-20 cents.
  • Track injury reports — a starting QB downgrade typically moves spreads 6-9 points.
  • Look for value in early-week opening lines before the betting public reacts.
  • Use Same Game Parlays sparingly during the regular season; pricing engines now penalize obvious correlations.
