With the shortened and condensed NBA 2021 schedule injuries and load management will become even bigger factors in your handicapping. Remember the key is to dig deep search even anticipate who will and will not be playing. The information is out there if you work at it. You want to bet BEFORE this knowledge is well known in the market.

I would assume I speak for all of us to state that 2020 both personally and sports betting professionally was challenging to say the least. The first 3 months started “normal “enough although we were showing a small loss by the end of March. We were then forced into a 4 month pause. As the lights came back on activity and sports leagues picked up we hit a nice groove.
I know the official calendar does not change to 2021 yet however since we close off our weeks on Sunday for betting record keeping purposes Monday December 28th will be day 1 week 1 of our 2021 sports year.

Is there even such a beast as a legitimate handicapper? Touts Scam Artists Con Men Marketers Low Lifes etc. etc they are everywhere. With the continued legalization state by state in the U.S. this problem has become even more profound. More and more newbies young people entering the market attempted to be led down a bad path by being promised easy money. These con men are NOT sports bettors NOT handicappers just frauds trying to separate you from your money. I will NEVER NEVER recommend anyone EVER pay money for sports selections.

We will wrap up our discussion of chasing for now with this grapevine relating to the lines.
We discussed in a previous grapevine about being very selective in determining value we have also discussed not chasing your losses. The next category regarding discipline and chasing relates to the lines themselves.

We will continue our discussion about chasing.
Remember never never chase losses. The term they use in poker is going on tilt. Wait for your next game of value regardless if it is 5 minutes or 5 days away. The national anthem is sung somewhere every day. Chasing losses will result in digging yourself a bigger hole. Good or bad, start each day 0-0 and move on from the previous day.

Over the next few grapevines we will deal with the different forms of CHASING and the impact it has on your business.
One of the most common and biggest problems many sports bettors have is called “chasing”. How many times do you lose an early game on the menu and then search to find a late game regardless of value to bet on to try and make up for the early loss. Not only do some bet on games they normally would not but they also increase their unit digging the hole even bigger.

I often hear bettors say at around the half way point all the value is gone from the lines. Like most things you “hear” about in the sports betting arena the perception is wrong.
