What is Value Betting?
Value betting is when you believe a certain team may perform better than odds suggest. This is not to be confused with betting on an underdog, as value betting instead means betting against the perceived prediction from the bookmakers.

As bookmakers are highly knowledgeable, they can’t be correct all the time and they often set their scores based on trends or recent scores as well as performance. They may not take into account the opposing team may be ready for a comeback and that is where you come in. As a value bettor, you predict when a particular team might surprise the bookmakers and within, beating all odds and increasing your profit.

You must develop knowledge about teams and players you are betting for and against winning. This will take a lot of research, experience and time, in order to build a mentality that will give you an edge amongst others who may not see the value in placing a bet against a team everyone is sure will win.
Its best to start analysing team performance at the beginning of a season and watching how they are performing together and against other teams, try to observe for things that show which teams if given the right opportunities could outshine the rest, keep track of changes in the team rosters, injuries and so forth.
With the correct mindset, you can start analysing what you think the real odds should be in certain scenarios and matchups and when they’re against the bookies, that is when you should value bet.
