Hello sports fans,

You’re likely here because you are a sports fan, and a sports bettor. Most bettors are in it to win, and that is what we are about at Indigosports. You’ll see on our site that we use historical data to make our decisions…that is called technical handicapping. We use a database of 30 years to match up the past with the present. It may surprise you that most handicappers don’t operate that way….they use what is called fundamental handicapping where they may feel team A’s offensive line will dominate team B’s and thus win the game and cover the spread.

My argument to that type of handicapping is…..why are those that were the best at playing the game, or the best coaches….those that know more football than anyone else, why are they terrible handicappers?

Go on to the ESPN or CBS sports pregame shows with ex-hall of famer coaches and players, and right before the game, the moderator will ask those ex-players and coaches, who will win and they give their final score predictions…..they are straight fades (losers) the vast majority of the time,….you would do better if you did the opposite of who they picked. If fundamental handicapping is the be-all and end-all, why are those guys so bad at picking winners?

Betfair, an overseas bookmaker, surveyed their betting population of 80,000 bettors. They found that 3,000 of them were winners, which equates to 3.75% of their customers. That means that a bookie or a Las Vegas sportsbook will know that 24 out of the next 25 people that walk into their casino to place a bet will be likely losers over time.

That brings the what should be an obvious point forward, it means that those bettors’ methodologies are not winning strategies.

Last season we finished 30 units over 500….if you are winning consistently over time, it means your method of deciding who will cover is correct, and if you lose consistently over time, it means you are doing something wrong.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing, and expecting a different result, right? What will you do differently this season?

By now you will want to consider not doing the same thing you would’ve done in the past.

Follow someone this season that can win for you.

I wish you success in the coming season,

Indigo
