Understanding Sports Betting Trends

September 23, 2020 by kevinwilkerson Leave a Comment

Betting trends are all about the number of bets placed on one team than another in a sportsbook like Betway. While these public betting trends don’t necessarily give us an indication of what’s going to happen on the field, they’re more useful than you might think. Specifically, betting trends help us answer these two questions:

1. What are people betting on now?

Knowing what most sports betting fans are wagering on forms the basis of putting the contrarian betting strategy in motion. This popular and straightforward betting strategy is also referred to as fading the public and can be used on a wide array of sports, including football. The strategy is a little limited, though it has a solid logic behind it.

If you know anything about betting, you know that more than 60% of punters lose their wagers. That means you stand a pretty solid chance of making money if you bet contrary to what the public is betting on because if they’re often losing, then it’s only sensible to do the opposite.

2. Where’s the smart money?

According to sports betting experts, it’s more effective to keep track of where the smart money is going instead of merely going contrary to the public. However, these two things are mostly one, and the same as the smart money often goes against where most of the money goes here. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to figure out where the smart money is going much of the time.

As most punters who frequent Betwaythailand for sports betting will tell you, it’s hard to figure where the smart money is heading, but it’s easy to spot movements in lines and odds. However, smart money movements require you to monitor specific trends closely to know what smart bettors are doing now.

Other Types of Sports Betting Trends

In sports betting, there are different types of betting trends, though there’s no official way of
categorizing these patterns. Other types of trends that exist in major sports like soccer include:

Situational Trends
Situational trends are based on certain circumstances that require you to study past results. To identify this type of trend, you’ll need to try and discover whether there are any patterns linking performances to the results in a particular situation.

To maximize the benefit from situational trends, you need to do in-depth research and try to
uncover helpful information on how teams perform in specific situations. As a beginner, you can uncover several trends by studying several things like:
• Home record against strong teams
• A team’s record after travelling long distances
• Home record against weak teams
• Record after heavy losses
• Record after a bye week
• Record after big wins

For instance, if you study a team and discover they have a great record while playing against
weak teams at home over the last three seasons, this information will prove to be very useful.
You might be tempted to back such a team to cover all the time when they’re a home favourite, but that’s not what situational trends are for.

Keep in mind that while past performances are instrumental in betting, it’s not always an
indicator of the future. However,  that doesn’t mean you can’t use past performance to gauge future results.
