Live Sports Betting—When to Play the Hunch

Don’t Play it Often!

Nine out of ten times you should not play a hunch that’s based on nothing more than a feeling. With live sports betting, you’ll be tempted to play the hunch many times in one game. Don’t do it. That is, unless the situation is ripe for doing so.

You’re Flush

The first element that needs to be in place for you to play a hunch is you have to be ahead. And by being ahead, we’re talking five units or more on the game that you’ve been wagering. If that’s the case then bet a unit on a hunch.

Something Just Happened

Something has to key you into the hunch. It could be as simple as in baseball, a team leaving the bases loaded or in football, a quarterback tossing two straight incompletes and getting sacked on the second one. In other words, there should be some indication that things aren’t working out for one club and are going right for the other.

Something’s Due

Along with the above circumstances, you’re hunch should come from the feeling that someone or something is due.  They’ve been dormant or on the edge of making something occur, but they have not been able to pull the trigger. Now they are going to pull that trigger.

This is the time to place one unit on a big payout live sports bet. In baseball is would be the homerun and on football the turnover. Again, this is a hunch wager, you’re ahead on this game by five or more units and you are betting only one unit.

Outcome

Because you’re wagering on a low probability outcome bet, chances are you’re going to lose it. If you do, at least you’ve fed that urge to go with your gut and try for the big score. If you do score on the bet, then not only will you take in cash on a wager that’s around 18-1, but also you can proclaim yourself a guru.  By the way, don’t make another hunch bet on this game. Quit while you’re ahead.
