Lately, I've been using a simple strategy in sports betting by spotting lines that are overvalued or undervalued, which could easily attract public bets.
Isn't this the same as contrarian Indicators where your bets are against the public?

Based on my record, I've had some success using this strategy. I realize that looking at stats alone to determine which team is better will not work. As gamblers, we have to do what others are not doing. A typical gambler will just look at the stats to determine the better team; they don't complicate things or consider other factors, which sometimes leads them to fall into traps.
It's good that you have records on this strategy and that you can conclude that it works. So if anyone is looking for something new to try out, they can just use this as evidence. And truly, a gambler has to do what others aren't willing to do, it will require thorough research and it takes a lot of time that's why I think most of us just look at the stats and then place our bets.

So, guys, this is just my personal observation. Tell me if I'm overthinking, if I'm wrong about this, or if this really is the key to winning.
This doesn't look like over thinking to me. How can you be wrong about it when you have your records. What I will added is that one must be flexible about this too. If there research turns out to be that spotting overvalued or undervalued lines may not work, then they should place their bets based off on what works which is their findings.

Damn! that's a slick skill you have there.  Grin
So you mean you are just Jonah Hill in the Money Ball movie who looks at the stats and determines skills and which team?

I bet on some upsets as well, didn't turn out well for me. I have some kind of comparison to some players but depends on which sports we are up to.
I guess you're right, my first thought about this was Rain Man but it seems apt that it's Money Ball. I mean there's probably a consistency in terms of how some players do their thing, you can track them really easy and if you've got the time to analyze a lot of factors, you can easily do it, what I mean by many factors is that you need to consider also how players do during a certain time in the game, the way they synergize with other players is also a big factor, there's so many that it will hurt your brain if you're not good at it.

By looking at the line, you can already tell if there's something wrong with it, and you'll choose to be on the right side even if your heart says otherwise. So, guys, this is just my personal observation. Tell me if I'm overthinking, if I'm wrong about this, or if this really is the key to winning.
I was trying to figure out were the concept of drawing of line comes into play in your analysis but can't seems to find one. Before placing any bet in sports gambling I guess you should already have been familiar with the individual strength of the teams involved and apart from leagues that aren't popular, you don't have to bother yourself about statistics before knowing the team that has the highest chance of winning. Checking out for stats and or even going through sports prediction platform to check thier prediction on some games is just an additional way of checking what people think about some certain match but the bigger responsibility is left for you to do the analysis on your own and make the decision as to which team you're betting in Thier favour.

What do you mean by looking at the line?

here ; https://www.thegistsports.com/faq/sports-betting/

I prefer to check some last matches of the clubs or team that are playing and also check their h2h. These help a lot. But I do not just bet like that because I still also let the match get close to the time it would begin and check the players that will play in the match.
This is pretty a basic thing to do, everyone who are betting in sports should check the "stats" I'm talking, this one you mentioned is part of the stats.

What I'm trying to discuss here is looking at the line and determining if the line is overvalued or undervalued, that's when you analyze and come up with a decision on that, of course stats are also part of the factors needed for sports handicapping but I think it's just a small part.
