This process is never complete, odds making, the creation of betting lines, and public knowledge are all in constant change.<!--more-->The good handicapper should never be assured that he has found all the answers. It is his measurement of change and adjustment that will add to his continual success.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/327\/Bob%20Wingerter\/AF23_15\"><strong>Put 30 years of handicapping to use today! \u00a0\u2013&#8211;&gt; Click Here To View Bob Wingerter\u2019s Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Be up-to-date on all changes on teams and coaching staffs<br \/>\n\u2022 Be aware of all injuries and the significance it will have on each team<br \/>\n\u2022 Be able to change with new information and facts<br \/>\n\u2022 Know when a betting line is off<br \/>\n\u2022 Discipline yourself to use good money management and find good numbers to play into<br \/>\n\u2022 Accept that there will be winning and losing streaks and do not make radical changes to your handicapping methods because of temporary setbacks<br \/>\n\u2022 You must recognize your limitations and maintain an open mind to new ideas to be successful over time<br \/>\n\u2022 Know the philosophy of each team&#8217;s coaching and how it will affect the match up<br \/>\n\u2022 Always know the morale and attitudes of all teams and players<br \/>\n\u2022 Know how teams have played each other recently and previously<br \/>\n\u2022 Know the quality of key players in the match up<br \/>\n\u2022 Know the bench quality of the teams<br \/>\n\u2022 Have knowledge of the betting lines, their behavior and how to read them<\/p>\n<p>Over the years I have noticed a definite correlation between the pro team with a well organized front office and its success on the field. Athletes seem to reflect the harmony that exists in management or the discord between the relationship of labor and management. The relationship established by a fair and sympathetic management to its players is inevitably rewarded with a peak effort at game time.<\/p>\n<p>A successful handicapper should know all he can about the ability of the players on a team, individually and overall. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"MySportsbook.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysportsbook.com\/mysb_banners\/sportsbook\/350x150\/350x150_football2.gif\" alt=\"My Sportsbook\" width=\"350\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>He should know the coaches, their philosophy, team morale and anything else about the team that might affect its play and performance.<\/p>\n<p>A good handicapper will keep meticulous and honest records of his decisions and their outcome. He will learn his strengths and weaknesses. This will teach and motivate him to constantly improve his work.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of luck is involved in sports handicapping. (Although you make your own luck) The more you know, the better your luck will be. I would say that about 60% of all games are determined by luck or happenstance. Its how one does in the other 40% or so that separates the men from the boys.<\/p>\n<p>A successful handicapper will find himself constantly gaining confidence in his work and its results, especially if he learns his mistakes and makes the adjustments. Remember, one should learn a lot more from losing than winning.<\/p>\n<p>A team&#8217;s motivation is not something you can turn on and off. Physical and mental preparation must be worked on constantly.<\/p>\n<p>The handicapper must recognize that the contest is not between the analyst and the game, but between the handicapper and the oddsmaker. In the big picture the focus should be on the long term monetary benefits not picking a TV game correctly.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/327\/Bob%20Wingerter\/AF23_15\">Bob Wingerter\u2019s philosophy of handicapping is serious, no-nonsense, he specializes in NFL \/ NCAA Football\u2026Grab his picks today &#8211; CLICK HERE!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The handicapper must be constantly on the alert to make changes in his handicapping methods and techniques&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[551],"tags":[164,9623,9622,10597,5876,10596,9627,10598,9624,1155,9619],"class_list":["post-8478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-handicapping","tag-betting-lines","tag-bob-wingerter-handicapping-articles","tag-bob-wingerter-picks","tag-cappers-philosophies","tag-gambling-tips","tag-good-handicappers","tag-handicapping-methods","tag-oddsmaker-tips","tag-professional-handicapping","tag-sports-gambling","tag-sports-insight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8478"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8480,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478\/revisions\/8480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
