5 Things you need to understand to survive every football season

IKEJA, Nigeria - Dec. 21, 2022 - PRLog -- Surviving may sound like a funny word to use about football season. Most fans and sports bettors can't wait for the season to start. They spend half the summer getting ramped up. The football season is full of ups and downs. Here's a guide with 5 things you need to understand to survive football season.

1.       The media aren't good handicappers: As the season progresses the media will start building up some teams and seemingly tear down others. Teams and players get momentum and the Internet, television, and newspapers love to jump on a bandwagon and a funeral procession. When teams are doing well (like when a team wins their first four or five games) the hype quickly builds. The longer the winning streak continues the more the hype builds.

2.       It doesn't matter how good you are, you will have losing weeks: The best sports bettors win more than they lose, but even the professionals have losing weeks. The longer you place wagers the higher the likelihood of a losing streak. Because the lines the bookmakers set are for the most part accurate it's hard to create a consistent edge.

3.       Some players weaken, while some get stronger: The natural progression for most football players is to weaken slowly as the year progresses. They get banged up and their bodies wear down. This isn't always noticeable because everyone else is going through the same thing. But if you can develop an eye for players who slow down more quickly than others, or for ones who seem to be able to buck the trend you can get an edge that most miss.

4.       Injuries play a huge part in your bets, and coaches are not your friend: Every sports bettor knows injuries can make or break a game or a week. A key injury can win you a bet or lose you one. The NFL has rules in place about reporting injuries, but coaches try to do everything they can to create a competitive advantage. This means they might lie about injuries, report the severity of injuries incorrectly, or mislead everyone in some other way.

5.       Have a good strategy and stick to it: I've already pointed out that you'll have losing weeks. As you mentally prepare for these things and go through them, the last important mental thing to do is decide you won't deviate from your plan.
