Now that we've addressed BANKROLL MANAGEMENT, let's speak on another very important aspect of handicapping sports, it's this little thing I like to call
DATA MINING. Posted above is my latest bet which was probably the only line I thought was a for sure winner in all of football this week. The line itself looked ridiculously high to begin with but I was still unsure until I did a little research for myself... After about 30 minutes of data mining, I discovered that Aaron Rodgers has yet to throw for over 260 yards in any of his games this season and also that Denver's defense has only given up an average of about 180 yards passing a game. As soon as I learned about those stats I fled to the books and placed my wager accordingly... And as you can see the DATA MINING of that info paid off in this instance as Aaron Rodgers ended the game with a total of 77 yards passing, which is the lowest total output of his career as a starter. Moral of the story is, if you're unsure, ALWAYS take the time to DATA MINE and do some research. Even if you're absolutely sure of a winner it doesn't hurt to take the time to look up the actual stats(especially on player props like this) and be 100% positive about all the info you need before placing a wager. Linesmakers will always be on point so anytime you can gain an advantage you should always take the time and effort to do so.
