I know betting the spread generally has but 50% chance of winning, has someone here or any strategies with sports analysis that can maybe manage to win 55%+ over the years of LONG RUN??? Where can I get help with professional sports analysis???

Which casinos in the surrounding Las Vegas area has the lowest house edge to bet on sports? most casinos are -110 on spreads which casino has lower than -110 and which casino has the lowest money line spreads like +130 -150 or +135 -145 etc.

Which online sports betting website is the best place to sign up with betting with the lowest house edge???

(Forgot to ask) I live in the Las Vegas area, what time is the first hour you are allow to bet on NBA games like right when the spread betting goes live and where can I go to place the bet earliest possible? any casino or kiosk open 24 hours a day that allow super early betting???

Help would be great appreciated!!!! Thank you 8)

I voted that I am ahead longterm sports betting, but there is an explanation. I am ahead for this year, currently $6200. I didn't keep records for previous years, although I only did a very small amount of sportbetting. This year I have done considerably more, so without specific records, I can only estimate that my +$6200, this year outweighs the small amounts I lost in previous years. I would estimate, I am up 3-4 grand.

I am a blackjack advantage player. That is how I support myself. Sport betting is something that I do for entertainment and despite my results this year, I have no dilution, that I will be a long term winner. I am just currently in the black due to strong college basketball results last spring.

My betting method is to find lines that are different than what I feel they should be. But I don't use my own data and skill to figure the 'should be' part as professional handicappers do. I use other peoples power rating numbers.

My overall 'voodoo' betting philosophy leans towards underdogs, points or odds, as I beleive the public generally overvalues and everbets favorites, especially favorites that won impressively in their last outing.

All in all, a lot of voodoo thinking in my post, but it works for me....at least this year. :-)

Assuming someone knew the answers to these questions, they sure as hell aren't going to share them with a random internet message board. This is akin to asking professional BJ hole-carders "so which casinos have the sloppiest dealers!?" If they broadcast the information, the opportunities get burned out. (In this case, the lines will stop being attractive as sharps will start hammering them.)

The only answer is to do your own research and scouting. Although I am not a big sports better, my hunch is that there isn't really an answer. Different houses will sometimes have a line that is just "off" for whatever reason, and you have to shop around constantly to find them. There is no magic bullet.

why would you want to bet early, especially in basketball where 1 player can make a big difference in the sides or over/under. Unlike football, which often gives names of non playing players days in advance, or at least lables them "gametime decision".....in BB you dont hear about a player sitting out for injury, illness, or being rested till a few hours before the game.
