NHL betting<\/a> focuses on franchise form and matchups. Evaluate the latest developments, such as winning streaks and home and away records. <\/p>\n\n\n Away teams have historically performed well in the NHL, winning around 41% of games. This offers value for away underdogs especially when the public is siding with the home favorite.<\/p>\n\n
\n Goaltending is crucial in hockey. Thus, always keep track of the goalie stats, as an outstanding goaltender could have a huge impact on the contest's outcome. Assess teams' performance in different scenarios, such as power plays and their penalty kill effectiveness. It's also useful to track injuries, particularly to star players, and how teams play when faced with back-to-back games on the schedule. <\/p>\n\n
\n There are many markets for player props, such as the number of shots on goal for certain players or the anytime goalscorer. Find the averages, recent game logs, how often a player shoots against one team, and how often they score against a certain opponent. You should also research how other teams allow specific positions to perform in these categories. <\/p>\n\n
\n Golf Betting Strategy\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n When betting on golf, it\u2019s tempting for many punters to try and sprinkle bets on long shots to win since some odds can reach as high numbers such as 300-1. <\/p>\n\n
\n Taking a golfer to win outright is extremely challenging, especially with about 150 golfers in the field at a normal PGA Tour event. <\/p>\n\n
\n If you\u2019re going to build an outright betting card, it\u2019s important to mix in favorites, longshots and players in the middle of the pack (odds-wise). You want to even out your bets evenly so you don\u2019t overexpose yourself. A golf card usually consists of six golfers. It can have slightly more or less but needs the unit sizing needs to match up. <\/p>\n\n
\n The worst thing you can do is bet on too many players in the field, without taking the insurance we mention below, and a golfer who isn\u2019t on your card wins. <\/p>\n\n
\n The safest markets to bet on are H2H matchups, where two golfers face off on the book, and the one with the lower score at the end of the tournament wins. <\/p>\n\n
\n Finishing positions are also a safer option than outrights. This includes picking a golfer to finish in either the top 40, 30, 20, 10, or 5 at conclusion of the event. You can also do this with golfers you have bet outright as insurance. <\/p>\n\n
\n Topics to research for betting players include their history on the course they're playing, how they perform on similar courses, how they putt on the type of grass the greens have and how the golfer does in different conditions. Some courses suit bombers off the tee, while others suit players who are excellent ball strikers. <\/p>\n\n
\n The picture below featuring Bet365\u2019s live odds of the Charles Schwab Challenge shows live finishing positions. If you thought Brian Harman, who has played well historically at Colonial Country Club, had a good chance of finishing inside the top 10 (he was in a tie for second and one shot behind the solo leader Charley Hoffman at the time of the picture), then he might be worth a bet at -120. <\/p>\n\n
