Wally Buono has really become this franchise around and over the past years, nobody had a better trio of then quarterback of the Lions, Dave Dickenson, Buck Pierce and Jarious Jackson at the controls.

However, as much as handicappers look at the players and the depth chart for each team, the real focus is the corridor betting numbers assigned each game and the futures bet. One of the key factors when a handicap match BC Lions, you have to remember the bookmaker are aware CFL betting the public is going to favor the Lions in most games, due to its success beyond the last few years.

Value Index

As mentioned above, the bet on a public computer, like the Lions, assign the value of the line is gone, especially when they considered a favorite, as it will be difficult to pull the trigger on them in these situations, gamblers know they can get away with some bad numbers because the novice player without the "eye" to detect a bad number. That's how dominant the Lions have been the last season. The last time the house was a Loser Week # 7 of the 2007 season, and it was a dog at home vs. Montreal Alouettes 7.0. What a mistake by betting the house, thinking that can last a rapid distribution by sharp objects. In case you are wondering how they did it, the Lions beaten at 32-9! If there is something that caught my attention on the index value " is the number of times the "low" as in various roles. As you can see, the numbers predominate UNDER in 5 of the 6 functions, such as MAS was 13-10-0 when Lions were Home Underdogs. This tells me, the bookmaker undermined the Lions in the country and taking into account the favorites win at a high rate of success in the CFL, BC managed to win 10 of their 23-game home losing.

Every football team as his nemesis, but the Lions seem to have yet since they are basically a .500 ball club compared to 4 out of 8 teams and has been owner of the Hamilton Tiger Cats in 1996. However, since a CFL betting point of view, numbers that catch our attention is the fight against the spread wins are against the Montreal Alouettes, as they are 19-8-0 ATS vs. Alouettes since 1996. Another issue of bets worth considering is the UNDER in the game vs. Hamilton, and Winnipeg, as does the combined 16-33-3.

Looking ahead and angles disappointment

One of the main angles of disability football games is the Look ahead and let down factor. Teams tend to spend ignore your current game when they have a big game on deck, or who tend to have an emotional leave after a win or a game of high emotion. It is very difficult in football to duplicate a large output, so this is where most cappers find good value in betting football games.

Here is betting angle to consider when betting for and / or against the BC Lions.

The Lions are 7-17 SU after playing the Cats Hamilton Tigers and the O / U is 7 OVER 16 unders and press 1.

Comment: This tells me the Lions are more valued after a game Hamilton Tiger Cats and that is why you are seeing a series deal with the Lions after playing Hamilton. Few reasons for this, but the main one is probably the Lions Hamilton and just hammered the betting public thinks will duplicate the same effort into the next exit and the Lions have what is considered a disappointing game. In fact, these are the classical sites of the games have gone down, especially if a team comes from a winning touchdown three or more.
