Topic: Using Statistical Data to Win Sports Betting Picks - page 2. (Read 215 times)

but it may help you when you need to decide which bet has better chance or not. but do keep in mind that every bet has no assurance because there are a lot of factors in play such as actual lineup of athletes, unknown injuries, weather conditions, coaching style, venue and so on.
stats may give us insights on the probability but not a guarantee that it will give us a sure win when we place our bets. but this is a good knowledge to have, because that will give you advantage in choosing your best bet.

Statistical data can be a valuable information especially in our decision making, but always know that using statistical data when sports betting cannot guarantee future profits. Because the fact that sports betting still a type of gambling, then the house has always an edge over the bettors. And it’s never a guarantee that what happen in the past will repeat itself, especially that in every sport or game being played, there are different factors and current situations that we should consider looking at first than just relying alone on statistical datas gathered before.

statistical data may or may not be correct. many times, most people betting only look at statistical data without analyzing the actual conditions and situations in a team and there are many examples that have occurred when statistical data does not work well when the team looks very superior in the previous match or in the past. but losing in future matches and recently I have seen a lot of people betting on sports who refer to statistical data as analysis for betting. but at least this statistical data can provide a reference or consideration for carrying out further analysis and is not to be used as a determinant of a prediction.

If statistical data is work, Argentina must be won against Saudi Arabia during the group stage in the last world cup because Argentina's rank 1st by FIFA and Saudi Arabia's rank 54th by FIFA. After all the beauty of sports betting isn't must make sure our bet always win, but it's the way to enjoy and become more interested with the sport by put a bet.

It's just a part of been a smart ass gambler

At least you are different from those that gambles based on what people tell them.

I can still see people who are not into sports placing bets on UFC and Football leagues.

The thing is sports data won't tell you what will happen in a match tomorrow.

You will only stay ahead of some people who have no clue.

You are still at risk of losing your money because you don't know how the team or the fighter will play it's game.

Just learn to be more responsible with gambling, every other things comes after this.

Statistical data help sometimes but most of the times they are worthless as the teams change over time,what a team with a certain level of players achieved in last years does not mean that they will achieve the same with different players after the old players have moved away from such team and I am talking about soccer here as a team although this is true for any other collective sports.

The statistical data can be really helpful in one vs one games like tennis for example as the big guys here rarely lose against weaker opponents which is much different compared to collective sports like soccer or basketball where surprise results happen a lot.

there's nothing wrong with looking at statistical data to be able to guess what the outcome of a match will be, but statistical data is not the main factor in predicting the outcome of a match - it's just one factor - because there are many other factors that need to be considered such as stamina, mentality. , and even luck, because it is not uncommon for a team that is underestimated to come out victorious. and therefore looking at statistical data is fine, but don't use it as the main reference because other variables also need to be considered in predicting the outcome of a game.

There are simply too many human elements that might influence the outcome of every Sport event. You are focused on the historical statistics, but the "human" element can drastically influence that.

A lot of pitchers and players hide the fact that they have "hidden" injuries that influence their game or they might not be in a good head space (something happening in their personal life) and even if they are professionals, this still influence their performance.

Yes, the historical data can give you a trend to work with, but any player can have a off day. 

I think statistical data should never be treated reliable in sports betting. Especially with sports involving 10-20 people its sometimes up to their concentration/mentality etc. Statistics can help you as subsidiary support to your bet. I mean you could be familiar with both teams in a football match and pick a bit but after check if stats support it. But using stats only would result in instant losses in my opinion.

The last part you cut out in your post was the best part of the guide. We sometimes forget the other factors that make the bet fail and overestimate the favorites. On the other hand, it's worth pushing your luck at times because players can pop off at the right time and it could last for several games. Others take advantage of it whenever they see the same lines being offered because the odds providers can take a few days or weeks before they notice something off.

When i'm in this situation, i'd usually buy a point because I always get the feeling they'll fall short in covering the original line but still cover the alternate lines.

1. Choose stats based on the bet

Sounds simple enough, but a lot of times, we don’t study the right stats. For example, let’s say we’re thinking of betting over or under an MLB pitcher prop.

The total is 10.5 strikeouts. The most important stat to study isn’t how many strikeouts the pitcher averages, but how many strikeouts the pitcher has had versus today’s opponent.

We must take it even further for the stats to be more relevant. How many strike outs has the pitcher had versus today’s playing opponents. Baseball players don’t play ever day. They often do, but not all the time and turnover happens a lot in a 162 game season.

Always think of and choose relevant stats based on the wager.

2. Look at relevant stats in relation to each other

We can continue with our MLB pitcher example to illustrate the second most important use of stats on our list. But let’s switch it up.

Let’s talk about an NFL against the spread bet. Suppose Team A is -3.5 to cover the spread against Team B.

You determine the most important stat is Team A’s ability to pass the ball. Team A ranks second in passing yards per game. Ah, but after looking at Team B’s passing defense stat, you realize Team B is excellent defending against the pass.

Do you ditch the bet? Not necessarily. What if you see that Team A’s RB1 averages 5.4 yards per carry? Now what do you do?

The most relevant stat in a situation like this isn’t even a stat. It’s the head coaches and offensive coordinators ability to change strategy depending on the opponent. So if the HC and OC are willing to lean on the rushing attack to open up the passing attack, your bet on Team A might still be a good play.

3. Use trends to support or deny the validity of statistical information

Let’s say you see that the head coach and offensive coordinator have leaned on the passing attack in every game of the season. They leaned on the passing attack last season.

That doesn’t mean they won’t change the strategy for this particular game. But it does mean the chances of the two changing the strategy isn’t great.

So you could be making a losing bet. Stats may be valid overall, the Bills did average over 28 points per game last season, but may not be valid for every game, the Bills also scored less than 28 in 7-of-17 regular season games.
