Now is the time to figure out some real XFL wagering strategies, ideas and angles so we all can help each other before adjustments are made.
I believe that if we can get in on the ground floor of this new sports betting category while still in it's infancy, there may be some money to be had early on. I'd be very interested with what your opinion would be on the following......
I know a lot of guys hate teasers, but if done correctly and in moderation with the NFL, I know that some success can be had.
Now, I was just looking over the lines for this week's XFL games when it hit me.....
With the books accepting regular juice (-110) 6-point teasers for XFL, would it not stand to reason that there is extra value in the 6 points since PAT conversions are now much less automatic than in the NFL? (especially with 3 of the 4 games last week falling in that close-game spread window)
Chances are that for each touchdown scored in the course of a game, the PAT will fail around 60% - 65% of the time, thus adding value to the 6-points received in the teaser. I suppose a good rule of thumb (like one I try to use for NFL) is to stay away from teasing ANY TEAM which you even remotely think could be blown out. Also, field goals look to be much less accurate as well.
Perhaps some of you who are much more savvy with percentages and spreads than I am can do a little research on this and possible uncover an angle as the league unfolds?
