Throughout the years I have placed way too many sports bets, and have finally figured a few things out...i think. Here are a few of my rules. What do you guys think, if you think at all. -NEVER flip a coin when you are getting charged any more than 10% vig (ex. betting on who wins the coin flip at -115) -There is ALWAYS more value in the under -future bets have little value, but you can end up with a hedge spot -look to moneyline NBA dogs, especially at the end of the season when both teams have nothing to play for -your team wont always be heavily favored, so wait for a good number -look for better than even money on bets that you think are 50/50 -tease, parlay, and prop bet sparingly

I'm a Yankees fan so my team is always gonna require a premium. I have had success with futures betting but I agree that unless you're taking a longshot it's a poor bet (i.e. - Woods +450 at the Masters. Realistically he shoulda been +2500 so his line had no value whatsoever).

Injuries caught up with them. Just not enough bodies to play in a game where they were calling no fouls. For the Tiger bet I think it made sense 6 or so years back. He was light years better than anybody else. I was using this year as an example of how I agree with what you're saying unless you happen to like a public team. Then when you bet your team u'll basically always be laying serious chalk. Tiger is past his prime so this year was a great example of action being based on wagers coming in as opposed to reality. In addition to Tiger being past his prime, the tour is simply better top to bottom then it was then. Not even close. Way more contends. If you did it 5 or 6 years ago in any tournament it was ok IMO. Obviously the results speak for themselves though.
