Reverse Line Movement
Betting Guides

Reverse Line Movement

Reverse line movement (RLM) happens when the betting odds or line shift against the direction of the majority of public wagers, usually because of the actions of sharp punters. Normally, if most bets back Team A in an upcoming matchup, the operator will adjust the odds to make Team A less attractive. This is commonly referred to as “balancing the books.” However, the opposite is the case in a reverse line.
Pari Mutuel Betting
Betting Guides

Pari-Mutuel Betting Explained

In the popular traditional fixed-odds system, your potential payout is determined at the time you place your wager based on the odds set by the sportsbook. Basically, you are betting against the bookmaker, who pays you if your prediction is successful. Pari-mutuel betting, however, operates differently. Instead of fixed odds, payouts are determined by the total staking pool for each wager type, with winnings distributed among successful punters. In this article, I'll explain what this system is all about and how it works.

Find Longshots
Betting Guides

Finding the Longshots

When you back the underdog in a sports match or event, you have a low chance of winning and, as a result, bigger odds. This type of wager is known as a longshot — a high-risk, high-reward strategy that can pay off significantly if you spot the right opportunity. While it's not the safest approach, some smart punters are skilled at finding the longshots, analyzing their potential, and placing strategic bets for massive wins.
Action No Action
Betting Guides

Action and No Action in Sports Betting

When you place a bet on a sports event, and it takes place as expected, whether in favor or against your prediction, the bet is said to have action or is considered active or valid. For example, if you place a wager on Liverpool to win an EPL match against Tottenham, your bet is said to have action as long as the match is played and ends as scheduled.
Futures Betting
Betting Guides

Futures Betting

Futures (or outright) betting is a special type of market that allows you to wager on the winner of a certain league or tournament winner. For example, it gives you an opportunity to stake on who will lift the English Premier League trophy or claim the Super Bowl before the season even starts. It is especially tempting if you want to place a bet on underdogs and win big due to high odds or believe there is a clear favorite.
European Handicap
Betting Guides

European Handicap Betting

The European handicap allows punters to level the playing field in football matches with a significant disparity between the teams. This type of wager gives the underdog a hypothetical starting lead and puts the favorite in a tougher position to win. It results in more attractive odds when betting on the game’s outcome.
Kenpom Sagarin

Kenpom vs Sagarin

Kenpom and Sagarin are advanced metrics systems that provide insights into team performances in college basketball games. These ranking systems employ a deeper and more comprehensive approach to sports statistics. This is why bettors use them to make informed betting decisions, and bookmakers use them to set more accurate point spreads. In fact, even coaches sometimes use the tools to prepare better for games.
Points Betting
Betting Guides

Points Betting

Introduced by the online bookmaker PointsBet, Points betting is a betting system that is based on the margin of victory or loss. In this method, your payout or loss isn't fixed. Instead, the closer your prediction is to the final result (margin or point spread), the larger your win. Similarly, the more it falls short, the more you lose. So, the system offers the potential for both significant wins and losses.
Fip Baseball
Betting Guides

FIP in Baseball Betting

Fielding Independent Pitching in baseball is a statistic used to evaluate a pitcher’s performance. It determines exactly how good a pitcher has been independent of the contributions of other players on his team. This metric works by considering only factors like strikeouts, walks, home runs allowed, and any other aspects of the game that the pitcher directly controls. Keep reading as I take you through what ERA and FIP mean, how they're calculated, and their differences. I'll also explain how to use FIP in baseball betting and when to avoid it.
