Selecting the winning team versus the pointspread it’s not the most important thing when betting on sports, shopping for line value and money management are more important than that for a long-term profit. Not taking into account small differences in lines, of as much as 1 or 2 points, is a common mistake made by amateur bettors, and it can make a difference in the long-term. Money management means to be organized with your money, ( it is your “betting money”, not your bills money or your food money ), and to plan how much you will wager on every game, this have to be done before the season begins.
