The NFL wrapped up the first quarter of its regular season schedule and the early betting trends still favor the underdogs against the spread with a winning rate of 61.3 percent. The best bet through the first four weeks has been road dogs winning 70 percent of the time. Road teams in general have been a profitable play covering 64.5 percent of their games.

Underdogs have won close to 42 percent of the time straight-up to add some action to the NFL moneyline bet. The best bet on the total line has been the UNDER with a winning rate of 55.6 percent.

The betting results for the first five weeks of the college football season have been much more stable. While the favorites have won 84.7 percent of their games SU, their winning rate ATS is just 50.8 percent.

One of the biggest handicapping contests of the NFL season is the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest.

New England was second on the list with 930 picks but the Patriots failed to cover in a tight 16-10 road win against Buffalo as seven-point favorites.

by Wager Home on September 26, 2019

Following this week’s NFL games, all 32 teams will get their first quarter grades. While teams such as New England, Kansas City and the Los Angeles Rams have picked up from where they left off last season, this week’s matchups take on much more importance for Philadelphia and the Los Angles Chargers in light of slower than expected starts.

Private bookies trying to make the early adjustments in the betting lines in light of the early results are hoping that the favorable trends for underdogs and UNDERs on the total line carry over to this week’s results.

Once each team does have a quarter of its schedule in the books, the early overreactions start to turn into more reliable betting trends moving forward. Also, it is important to pay close attention to any significant injury situations to gauge the impact on a team’s overall performance.

Season-to-Date Football Betting Results

The early NFL betting trends have favorites winning 63.8 percent of their games straight-up with that rate dropping to 42.6 percent when you factor in the closing spread. Road favorites are tearing it up either way. In 16 games where the road team was favored, it won 73.3 percent of the time SU while covering at 62.5 percent ATS. If you are using a bookie website, you most likely already know that road underdogs covering ATS has been another hot bet with a 67.7 winning percentage.

The NFL total line continues to lean towards the UNDER with 54.2 percent of the first three weeks of games staying UNDER the closing line. Keep an eye on this trend in Week 4 with that gap is beginning to close in more recent results.

Through four weeks of games in the college ranks, the favorite has won 86 percent of the time SU, but the Oddsmakers have been money to drop this number down to 52.3 percent ATS.

Interestingly enough, road favorites have the best winning rate ATS at 58.1 percent to mirror the same trend in the NFL. Betting the college total line, the numbers have been rather sharp as well with 51.4 percent of the games staying UNDER.

For any bookies tracking this year’s Westgate Las Vegas NFL SuperContest to get a feel for where most of the action is going, the Los Angeles Rams topped last week’s list with 1474 picks. Seattle was next on the list at 988 with Detroit rounding out the Top 3 with 937 picks.

NFL Week 3 2019 | Week in Review

by Wager Home on September 24, 2019

If you like upsets, Week 3 of the 2019 NFL season was full of them. Six dogs showed their bite upsetting the favorite, including the Detroit Lions who remain unbeaten after their win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Yes, the Lions are 2-0-1. Only three of Week 3’s straight up winners didn’t cover.

After two weeks of holding penalty after holding penalty, NFL officials dialed it back. The fewer holding calls had a direct impact on the Totals in Week 3. For those who want to know how to be a bookie, that is a piece of information that could help separate you from other pay per head services.

UPSETS

As mentioned, there were six upsets in Week 3, the biggest of which involved a rookie quarterback in New York. Daniel Jones, the sixth pick in this year’s NFL draft, stepped in and took over for veteran Eli Manning.

Daniel Jones stepped in and helped upset Tampa on Sunday

All Jones did was lead a fourth-quarter scoring drive and cap it off with a 7-yard touchdown run with just 1:16 to play to give the Giants their first victory of the season. Tampa Bay, the Giants opponent, was a 5-point favorite.

The other big upset in Week 3 was New Orleans heading to Seattle without Drew Brees. The Saints were 5-point underdogs but were never really challenged by the Seahawks. The 33-27 final score was not indicative of how the Saints dominated the game.

The Lions got a 100-yard kickoff return in a 27-24 upset of the Eagles. Philadelphia entered the game as a 4-point favorite. Houston won as a 3-point dog. Carolina beat Arizona as a 2.5-point dog and Jacksonville beat rival Tennessee on Thursday night. The Titans were favored by 1.5.

GOT YOU COVERED

Yes, Miami is still awful.

The Dolphins are so bad they were giving 22 points to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. With Ezekiel Elliott in the lineup, the Cowboys won 31-6 to cover. The Patriots were not as fortunate. New England was a 21-point favorite over the ailing New York Jets. Leading by 23 in the fourth quarter, the Jets Jamal Adams stepped in front of backup QB Jarrett Stidham’s pass and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown. Final score, 30-14.

Along with the Patriots, Buffalo and San Francisco were both straight up winners but failed to cover. The Bills were 6-point favorites over Cincinnati and won 21-17. San Francisco beat the hapless Pittsburgh Steelers 24-20 also as 6-point favorites.

The Vikings were 9-point favorites against Oakland. Running back Dalvin Cook rushed for over 100 yards for the third consecutive week and Minnesota won 34-14. NFC North foe Green Bay also covered as 7-point favorites against Denver. The Packers sacked Broncos QB Joe Flacco six times and won 27-16.

Indianapolis, Kansas City, the Rams, and the Bears all covered as well.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR FANTASY OWNERS

If you thought Week 2 was bad for injuries, Week 3 wasn’t much better. The biggest injury news involves New England WR Julian Edelman. The veteran left in the second quarter of the Patriots win over the Jets. He has an apparent rib injury and will be day to day so fantasy owners will have to pay close attention.

The other big one was the Giants Saquon Barkley. The running back went down with an ankle injury and did not return. It was later diagnosed that Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain. He will be out four to eight weeks, which will leave many fantasy owners scrambling.

TOTAL TRENDS

With fewer holding calls in Week 3, NFL offenses were able to open up a little and put more points on the board. In Week 2, the Under hit in 13 of the 16 games. Minus the flags in Week 3, 10 games saw the Over hit. Moving forward, this is something a price per head sports book can track to offer great service to its bettors.

CONTEST UPDATES

No perfect records remain in the Westgate Supercontest. Week 3 left a blemish on a few of the leaders’ records. The top-5 is all tied up with 14-1 marks. TUCO, THE801CREW, PHATCAT, ER@JAR, and CHAMPION ICEMAN sit at the top of the leader board. Both ER@JAR and CHAMPION ICEMAN were a perfect 5-0 for the week.

The results of the Circa Sports Million have not been updated to reflect Week 3 results. Mikeybarts1-1 and Mikeybarts1-2 remain tied at the top of the leaderboard with 9.5 points. The same is true of the Golden Nugget Ultimate Football Challenge. Rizzo (11-1-2) and Cuseboy (12-2) entered Week 3 each with 12 points to sit at the top of the standings.

Weekly Bookie Betting Report- Sept. 20

by Wager Home on September 20, 2019

September presses on with the first few weeks of the new football season dominating the US sports betting scene. The college season heads into Week 4 while the NFL gears up for its third week of games. The final few weeks of the MLB regular season is still attracting some baseball betting action, especially on games in the tight NL Central Division title race.

One of the stronger betting tendencies in the NFL is overreactions to the early results. Teams like New England and Kansas City in the AFC and Dallas and the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC have been dominant in their first two games. However, the overall results have been highly favorable to bookies with underdogs covering at a much higher rate.

Weekly Bookie Betting Report- Sept. 12

by Wager Home on September 12, 2019

The first two weeks of the college football season are in the books along with the opening round of games in a new NFL season. Along with the race to the MLB playoffs and this year’s World Series, the betting action has been hot across the board in the early part of September. Here is your Weekly Bookie Betting Report for September 12th, 2019.

Offering a diversified betting board is a key aspect of improving any private bookie’s overall hold percentage. Too much of a reliance on football can actually work against your overall bottom line. It is far more profitable to spread the action out to multiple betting options than taking an all or nothing approach to the action you take in on the biggest football games that particular week. Working with the right pay per head site can help you expand your board accordingly.

Early Football Betting Results

In the college ranks, going chalk of the favorites straight-up has produced a 89.3 winning percentage over the first two weeks. Factoring in the closing spread, this rate drops to 50.3% with the Oddsmakers dead on their game.

The only significant edge is a 54.2 winning percentage against the spread for road favorites. There is no appreciable difference betting home teams (49.03%) and road teams (40.97%) ATS over a combined 159 games. Early college football results on the total line slightly favor the UNDER at 52.8%.

The betting results for the first 16 NFL games of the season were a mixed bag depending on your actual closing lines. The general consensus of online books have the favorites going 10-5-1 SU with a 6-9-1 record ATS. Home teams took it on the chin with a 5-10-1 record ATS. The total went over the closing line in nine of the 16 games.

Looking back at last week’s results for this season’s Westgate Las Vegas NFL SuperContest picks, Baltimore garnered the most action in its romp over Miami with 1080 picks. Indianapolis was a close second at 1052 with a PUSH against the Chargers. Houston was third on the list at 904 bets with a successful cover against New Orleans. Quite a few bettors also took it on the chin betting Tampa Bay and Denver as the two biggest losers.

This week’s early consensus leans heavily towards Dallas at 86 percent as a 4.5-point road favorite against Washington in a bitter NFC East rivalry. The Carolina Panthers get the early lean at 83 percent as seven-point home favorites for Thursday night’s NFC South clash against Tampa Bay. Rounding out the Top 3 is the Chicago Bears at 83 percent. They will be on the road against Denver as 2.5-point favorites in a late Sunday afternoon start.

83 percent of the public like the Panthers ATS

The Weekend’s Big Betting Games

While the Week 3 college football schedule does not have any head-to-head matchups between nationally ranked teams, No. 1 Clemson on the road against Syracuse could be considered a game of interest, and one those operating a bookie website need to monitor.

Two years ago, the Orange stunned Clemson 27-24 closing as 23.5-point home favorites. Last season, the Tigers sweated out a 27-23 victory at home as 24.5-point favorites. The gap between the two teams this season appears to be rather wide with Clemson favored by 28 points.

The top showdown in the NFL this Sunday pits Minnesota on the road as a three-point underdog against Green Bay. Each of these NFC North rivals are coming off a big win in their openers. They are also neck-and-neck in most NFL futures odds to win the division title this season. The early edge for the winner this Sunday afternoon could be significant.

The early lean on the betting consensus favors the Vikings at 59 percent. The betting line has also moved in that direction after the Packers opened as 3.5-point favorites.

We all know that sports betting is one of the most popular gambling-related activities in the world, and it is certainly one of the drivers for the boom in sports of all kinds in the United States. And we have a price per head revolution going on offshore.
