Bet on favorites early in the week & underdogs late in the week strategy...

[dunfida]

I am by no means a professional gambler, and therefore I've certainly got plenty to learn (one of the reasons I like being active in this part of the forum).  I was recently listening to a gambling talk radio podcast and they were saying one basic rule of thumb to live by when sports betting is to bet favorites in the early part of the week and under-dogs in the later part of the week as the spread tends to favor this strategy.  

So I'm just curious if the sports betters in here take this "rule of thumb" strategy seriously and tend to follow it.  Or if there's any experience that says this may not be all that great of a strategy.  Thoughts?

In as much as betting or placing a bet in the earlier part of the week doesn't or cannot alter the outcome of the match I am not bothered placing bet at that time though the odd or spread might be high what matter most to me is picking the sure bets a day before the matches for instance picking my bets weekend matches on Thursday and Friday while picking bets for midweek UCL matches on Sunday and Monday with the aim of accumulating the odds to 3.00 to 4.00 though as from now I will take a close observation of the odds if there are noticeable difference then I might start my pick very early to accumulate more odds.

You're missing the entire point.  This is also a sentiment that I've seen others post here. Yeah of course it has absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the match per say, it's all about utilizing a strategy to obtain better odds. I think everyone could agree that when placing sports bets, it's advantageous to get the best odds you can.  That's what this is all about.  People seem to be missing the point here.

We know that when it comes to strategy then people would be coming up with different variations and on the time that they would really be able to win then they would really be tending to save up that condition
that they had been able to do on that point. If it turns out that weekend betting is something an underdog could be able to win and ended up on a positive result by someone then it would really be not shocking that they would really be sticking into that principle on which they would really be making it as a strategy.Yes, there would be no solid proofs about for this one to be actually be working yet we do know that people would really be that sticking into something which they do know that it would be working. This is why it would be on someones personal choice whether they would really be sticking into those strategies or not
but pretty much sure that they would really be testing or trying it out if it does work or not. It would really be just that depending into someones interest but pretty sure that there would really be those people
who would really be that curious into this regard.

The professional means the gambler may know how to react to the every situation in the gambling,he know when to withdraw to avoid of the complete loss in the gambling.The casino game in the gambling was the peculiar one,because it based on the prediction.If you made the win,it was essential to withdraw the funds after sometime.Because the reverse algorithm of the gambling site will take all your money to the loss.Instead leaving the gambling with the capital and minimum profit will be the far better option to the gambler.

It's a great strategy that works some times but doesn't work all the time. Sports can go either ways when being played therefore there's not accurate strategy that can be used to win all the time. When I want to pick a team to put my money on, I do background checks on how good the teams has been playing before the game ahead. I look at both teams and weigh their strength and weakness before I decide which one to bet my money on, sometimes I win other times I lose but that's gambling.

I also have another strategy that I use for sport betting, I look at the trend for the game week, if the underdogs are having a good week for the start of the game week, I put my money on the underdogs for the rest of the week but not in all games only for those I feel the underdog have a chance of winning and their odds are too big that I can win huge sum of money by having just one prediction correct.

The strategy itself not work with the algorithm of the gambling site all the time,the important one was the gambling should change their own strategy many times based on the gambling algorithm changed.The gamblers should have three different strategies to apply for the new game,because the creation of strategies at the game was the hardest part for the gamblers.He need to use the one after another in the same game to make profit.

Taking a bet early in sportbook does not make any difference to me but the spread is what is going to be different since to be quick is more profiting with higher odds than coming late which the odds might have reduced. Any strategy that seems to work for us is what we should follow and we don't have to necessarily go for the rule of thumb.

I don't even care about all this rules because they only existed to increase our profits if only we are fortunate to be on the winning side. Some can still follow any of these files and end up losing e en with all the strategies and rule of thumb that must have been followed. The best thing is for us to follow and work on what will give us the kind of results we are looking for.

Ima a wait until the game is about to start kind of guy.  People get thrown on injury reports or is deactivated in nba or baseball for rest and it screws everything else up.  Yeah it can work in your favor but when I'm sports gambling I like the most information I can possibly get.

Possibly some normal distribution shenanigans where data wouldn't make sense on its own but would start showing some patterns when you compare it with a larger sample size. Although honestly this will be the first time that I have heard of it, and if not for the probable statistical relevance that this could bring I'm immediately going to can it and call it bollocks lol. Cause there's no real rhyme or reason as to why every game for that matter would favor giving the dub to crowd favorites on the first half of the week and the underdogs on the latter when the distinction between the two isn't even based on any level of technicality in the first place. It's like the whole shit is screaming bullcrap to me but I'm trying so hard to try and make sense of it lol.

In any case I might try this strategy just for the hell of it, and since it's going to be a mini-experiment of sorts I would say I'd look at a sample size spread out between 6 weeks just to make sure that there's just enough data that we could put a pin on it in the earliest possible time without interfering with the supposed normal distribution hoobla that I just talked about previously. I'll let you guys know most likely.

Efficient indeed to do so, however odds are changing from time to time if you will be betting mid game. I tried it before and rewards ain't that decent to go low and if you will be increasing your wager, things might still go off simply because nothing's assured. Not because star players won't be there perhaps on the opponent team, then it would be an assured winning bet. Bench players could still step up and not to mention that sometimes star players are on bricks-- yes I am referring to sportsbetting in particular with NBA. And my conclusion only is; everything's possible to both winning and losing outcomes and that's just how gambling works. Luck will always be the determinant of the outcome no matter how good our analysis is. No one could control the game other than players themselves. Even with other sports such as in boxing in particular with handicaps; moving to other weight classes.

So what to do then? then just bet with moderation in particular with your wager. If you happened to win, then maintain your amount of wager and follow your limitations. In this instance, you won't suffer from huge loss and would more likely make your betting experience more efficient.

For a moment if we agree to this theory, this means that the under dogs will perform better in the later part of the week and win matches.
Also, it means that the strong teams will usually perform bad in the start of the week and their performance will deteriorate over the week. This is just strange logic which i fail to understand.

Maybe that broadcaster experience this once or twice and he decided to make it public as a "Rule of Thumb" but actually this never happens consistently.

I won't take this as a betting tip but just for my confirmation, i will see and compare the results of the matches played throughout the week and determine if this theory is really true

Playing early in the week and late in the week has advantage and also disadvantages. Sometimes people play games early in the week when the odd is high and it provides a higher chances of winning big. but if you play on weekends the odd might reduce. Morover the high odd gives you a higher amount if won.
But the disadvantage is that most people who study games and odd will tell you that you can only understand the odd by weekend because if it increases from maybe the initial 2 odd to maybe 3.5 odd on weekends that is to say you are at risk of loosing. because the higher the odd the riskier the game. So that is what I understand about playing ealy the wek and later in the week.

Yes because there's no fool proof strategy that could help us win in sports betting. As experts said, you only need to win more than 52% to be profitable in the long run, that is considering you are discipline with managing your bankroll. This method here could potentially make you profitable as it works most of the time, it may not be a major strategy, but it's vital in order to get somehow a good advantage.
