NFL Picks, Free NFL Picks, Free NFL Sports Betting Tips, Free Winning NFL Sports Betting Picks by Gene Schwerman

Not all NFL picks are created equal. This is the first installment in a series of articles which are to solve numerous problems faced by sports betting enthusiasts regarding obtaining the very best NFL Picks and a possible edge at the sports book betting window.

NFL Picks, especially Winning NFL Picks, are not easy to produce, which, to a large degree, is how and why all of those sports books online do so well. Like casinos, and poker rooms the sports books make money in spite of the few players who are in one way or another able to even out the odds and/or occasionally bring the betting odds over to their own favor.

An excellent sports handicapper can help you even out those odds you are facing in numerous ways and turn you into that very rare but very fortunate sports bettor, the one with the odds consistently in his favor. Sometimes he will even start you out on free NFL Picks. What more can you ask? Of course, you are right! They need to be free winning NFL Picks. Believe it or not, that can happen too!

Even the very best sports handicapper can only produce a certain percentage of winning picks. So, generally speaking, if you figure you have a 52% win percentage with your own picks and you buy picks from a good handicapper, one with a 58% win percentage, for example. If you then compare your picks with his picks and only bet the games where you both agree; you might come up with a couple additional percentage points over his 58% using this method. If you are betting sports at a 60% winning percentage, spreading the bets around and not chasing your money when you do lose, you can laugh all the way to the bank!

The problem with this method however, is quite simple. Most amateur sports bettors can not hold up their end of the bargain. That is to say, while a good sports handicapper may run a fairly consistent 58% of his sports tips as winning picks, the average sports bettor who thinks he runs 52% or more winning picks is extremely erratic with his picks and often exaggerates his win percentage or guesses at it, invariably in his own favor. The sports handicapper, humming along with his 58% wins is therefore cancelled out a large percentage of the time and many of his winning picks never get bet. This is no problem for him, you are the one paying for his picks. But this clearly means you will be better off betting all or most of your handicappers picks and holding on to that 58% win rate, rather than eliminating a bunch of winning picks when your win percentage may even be under 50%. No offence to your ability as a handicapper.

The handicapper's attitude is: If we give you winning NFL Picks week after week and you don't bet them, that is on you. If you have a gut feeling at the last minute and bet the other team, or you take five different handicappers free NFL tips and bet the one with three of the same picks, how can you evaluate your handicapper's picks? The handicapper says to himself, we spend a lot of time and effort to not only give you the very best NFL Picks we can, but to give you similar great high quality free NFL Picks too. So we are doing our share, providing winning NFL picks, you have to figure out the best way to use them to your own advantage.
