That can definitely be the case if you are more interested in betting on the underdog, as you may be able to simply wait and watch the value grow. Timing is EverythingĪs a general rule, if you like the number on a favorite against the spread, betting it early is recommended due to the fact that most bettors prefer favorites and most line movements go against the “chalk” as the week goes on.īut while there are advantages to jumping on a line early, there can also be advantages to sitting back and watching to see how the line moves. That can be much easier said than done, though, because the opening number may be the lowest you will get on a favorite before the public hammers it and makes it too high. The goal when following line moves is to always try to get the best of the number you are looking for, whether you are interested in wagering on the favorite or the underdog.
It is important to realize that a lot of movement can happen on sporting events, especially with football since there are so many days in between games, giving bettors plenty of opportunities to get action on different numbers. But while these early line moves may show where the public money is initially going, it does not obviously tell the whole story until we can see where the closing odds end up. After oddsmakers release their opening lines at sportsbooks, the betting public almost immediately reveals which side of the number they like more and oddsmakers then move them accordingly.
