As the sports betting industry has grown throughout the world, especially in the United States, the sports handicapping industry has grown as well. I am Wunderdog, and I have spent the last two decades in this business.
I also recognize that there are new sports handicappers breaking into the business, and it’s not quite as easy as it may seem. I have an impressive track record, and there are some things that I have learned in the 20 plus years in the industry. Here are a few ways to win at sports handicapping:

Plenty Of Research
The most important way to succeed in sports betting is to do plenty of research. If you ever get to a point where you think you have done enough, spend some additional time doing research. Customers expect you to provide them with all of the necessary information to make a smart betting pick, and that can only be done if you are well prepared. Sports bettors don’t want to do the research themselves, and that is why they have come to you.
I spend the majority of my days researching upcoming sporting events, and I am always looking for any new and useful information. If you want to win at sports handicapping, you will also need to do the research.
Wide Range Of Sports
If you want to be a successful sports handicapper, you will want to become knowledgeable in a wide range of sporting events. This does not mean that you have to become an “expert” at every sport, but the more you know, the better you can be.
Some sports are much easier to handicap than others, and these need to be your focus. I have been able to identify these sports or leagues over the last 20 years, which has allowed me to deliver more winning picks to my customers. Your customers might not have knowledge about many sports, and that’s why it is your job to provide that to them.
Varying Betting Types
If you want to win at sports handicapping, you must be willing to take some risks and use many different betting types. Most of the customers will be interested in the most common betting types, but try to introduce them to some new types as well.
Some of the more unique betting options can also offer some great ways to win some money. It might seem like you are taking more of a risk, but this business is all about taking small risks to win some big rewards.
Show Restraint
Another important thing to remember if you want to win at sports handicapping is to show some restraint. This is a value that is extremely hard for new sports handicappers, but it is something that must be learned.
There are certain times when there won’t be many solid betting options available. Instead of searching for marginal options, just take the day off and wait for other opportunities. Customers depend on us as handicappers to deliver only solid betting choices, and sitting some days out can be the best option.
Identify Value Bets
Another way to win at sports handicapping is to search for value bets, and then deliver those picks to your customers. It’s just as important to find value in the odds as it is to deliver a winning pick to your customers.
Once again, customers are looking at us, the handicappers, to find this information for them as they don’t always have time to do the research. If you can deliver some winning picks that also offer some tremendous value, you will be doing the customers a huge favor.
