OffshoreInsiders.com has posted what they say is one of the most important instructional videos ever for sports bettors. From beginner up to anyone who wants to be a professional gambler, this video aims to be the “Snopes” for the sports investor. It’s on their YouTube channel
Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com, has written many articles and broadcast sundry YouTube videos and numerous podcasts in his career. The venerable handicapper’s tenure stretches back to the scorephone days of the 1980s.
However, on his YouTube sports betting channel the big bank roller has posted what his says is among his most revealing projects yet. “Sports Betting’s Biggest Myths” exposes common fallacies, blunders and urban legends that most gamblers parrot time and time again.
For example, one of the most fundamental is how bettors overvalue the straight up won-loss records of teams when constructing spread predictions. Duffy explains why and gives that data that pro gamblers utilize instead.
He also reveals a recurrent misstep the middling bettor perpetuates in both the college football bowls and NCAA Tournament, not to mention most major conference tournaments.
Duffy asserts that one of the biggest difference between the pro bettor and the square is how they perceive inconsistent teams. “Teams that are tough to get a handle on are an oddsmaker’s nightmare and a boon to the sharp player. ‘Predictably unpredictable’ teams are what squares and oddsmakers equally avoid with extreme trepidation, while the wise guys welcome with open arms and wallet.”
