The addictive potential of betting is higher than what we perceive. With the legalization of gambling in many countries, the number of gamblers getting addicted to it is also increasing. People get attracted to betting because of its potential to make a layman a millionaire in a matter of days or months. Those gamesters who keep winning obviously will find it exciting and would want to bet for larger amounts. It gives them a natural ‘high’ feeling. This can be compared to any other drug addiction where large doses are needed to get the euphoric feeling. Betting on sports is addicting because it is an effective way to temporarily escape or forget life’s haunting problems and to relieve the emotional distress that life’s rat race contributes. The sad truth is that engaging in betting does not actually solve the main issue in question and hence the bettor needs to keep on betting so as to avoid facing the tough situations. Then there is the group that begins betting as a time pass or for innocent reasons and end up getting addicted to it. They get addicted because they see sports betting as a status symbol – an event engaged in mostly by the richest population.

If you are new to online gambling, the term “juice” will never mean to you a way to fatten your pockets. In sports betting, “juice” is the amount of money or commission a sports book receives for taking your bet. Most of the time, the sportsbooks takes a 10 % cut for the amount of each wager. For example, the winning bettors collect only $100 on a poker bet of $110. The extra $10 is the juice. Unlike what most newcomers think, it is in their best interest to not just stick to the ones that give you high bonuses; instead your best bet would be to reduce the juice. Since we need to pick up winners to line our pockets with cash, playing reduced juice helps us to lower the winning percentage we require to break even. If you are playing the standard 110 you have to win 52.38 per cent of the time just to break even and not give the sportsbook any of your hard earned cash. But when you are betting at 105, the winning percentage needed to break even is reduced to 51.22 per cent. Therefore, Not only are you risking your money on the game, but you’re throwing money away before the game has even started.

One aspect of sports betting that many newcomers look past is following line movements. This can be important for several reasons. First of all, if you are aware of the lines and where they move throughout the week/day you will have a much better understanding of how vegas and the “public” feels about this game. Let’s say a line starts at -3. Over the next couple days it creeps to -3.5, -4, then -4.5… This most likely means that most of the public money is coming in on the favorite which is moving the line higher. But let’s say an hour before gametime, the line takes a huge dive from -4.5 back to -3 immediately. What this tells you is that some sharp players are putting BIG money on the underdog.
