Sports betting and the home dog

When you start sports betting more and more, you will see that there is a certain subset of teams that will perform better than others. This subset of teams is the home dog. So why is this sports betting trend a real one? It is because the books often shade favorites and road teams. There is an existence of home field advantage, but most people don’t calculate it properly. This means that they get all giddy when they see a road favorite. They see the small line and they jump. The books shade this because they know the tendencies of the public.

For you as a sports bettor, you have to recognize the home dog value when it is there. This is not to say that all home dogs are a good bet. Many home dogs will lose. Even betting all home dogs with your sports picks will probably leave you just breaking even. You have to be on the lookout for good value in the home dog. Think about this when you take a hard look at the board on a Saturday. Home dogs often look tough to hit, but they win more than people give them credit for.
