Online sports betting tips: How to make money by knowing how a team plays on grass and artificial turf
Sports Betting success often times comes down to knowing the personalities of the teams playing. One aspect of the personality of a team is how well they play on artificial turf compared to natural grass. Here is an analysis, I have a game between Toledo and Ball St., which shows how to use this information to make money: This game matches two teams that have a lot of points and have a lot of points this season. Ball State is averaging 27 points on offense, while giving an average of 28 points on defense. Toledo is giving up more points on defense, 29 per game, while ‘only’ 23 points per game scoring average. Ball State has succeeded in six of nine games this year to cover, although a poor 3-7 SU record. But their ATS record contains no SU game that they lost to N. Dakota St. For accuracy sake, let’s count this game against Ball St., making their "real" 6-4 ATS record. But here’s an interesting fact about tonight’s game. Ball St., who play their home matches on grass, has a surprisingly great album to play on artificial turf. In their last 10 games, Ball St. is 8-2 ATS on artificial turf, including SU disrupts against Miami (OH), E. Michigan, N. Illinois (a game where Ball St. was a 28-point dog), and W. Michigan (a game where Ball St. was an 11 1/2-point dog). Ball State has beaten the line by less than 17 points per game! And all these disturbances happened when Ball St. played on artificial turf. On the other hand, Ball St. 10 road games played on natural grass since 2002, and they have lost 9 of 10 SU and are just 4-6 ATS playing on grass, away from house. Do you see a pattern here? Think you might Ball St. ‘s team is more suited to playing on artificial turf than on grass? Even against # 2 Michigan, Ball State QB Nate Davis, Darius Love and speedy wideout had big games, with Davis for throwing for 250 yards and Love with more than 100 meters receiving, including more than 17 meters on average per catch. There is no reason that Davis Love and not a similar game against Toledo, a team that averaged giving up over 400 meters total per game. The fact that this game is played on artificial turf The bottom line of this game is that Ball State a legitimate chance to win outright. The fact that they get five credits can be a bonus. The downside is that Ball St. Toledo was creamed off by each of the last two seasons, losing in 2005 by a score of 34-14, and losses in 2004 by a score of 52-14 . I know this is 2006, not 2004 or 2005, but if you look at a recent history that is so one-sided, you can see why everyone expects Toledo to win this game. The end result is that these factors tend to even out, with only a slight edge going to Ball St. I would lean to Ball State to cover interfere with Ball St. Toledo 34-31. But again, keep in mind that there is nothing to make me think this is a very high probability play. Ball State actually did upset Toledo in the game, winning 20-17. Just by understanding Ball St. ‘s record on artificial turf, perhaps people interested in sports betting have a lot of money bet on this game.
