Learning how odds and lines works ???

[tamales]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know if there are like articles or sites where i can learn more in-depth on how handicappers make up the lines and stuff for all types of sports including US and EU markets.

I see that bet365 has other types of lines as well not just the main spread ml and totals, I would like to know how they come up with that?

Thanks.

That is an in depth question Tamales.

There is actually a bunch of great articles on Wikipedia that will help get your head around it.

Our Handicapper Think Tank forum is a good place to discuss it with others.

I have no idea how to bet or how these numbers work. My friend tried to teach me how to bet, but I didn't learn anything. Maybe I should read more.

Its fast withdrawals website and user-friendly design make it a top choice.

Yeah, there are a bunch of resources out there, but most of the really deep stuff on how lines are actually made—especially the behind-the-scenes modeling by sportsbooks like Bet365—is kinda guarded or scattered across advanced betting communities.

Its going to be a long read.

Check out Action Network and Pinnacle's blog — both dive into how odds are made. They use advanced stats, trends, and betting volume to shape the lines.
