HANDICAPPING PHILOSOPHY By Bob Wingerter

The handicapper must be constantly on the alert to make changes in his handicapping methods and techniques. This process is never complete, odds making, the creation of betting lines, and public knowledge are all in constant change. 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.

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 is established by a fair and sympathetic management to its players is inevitably rewarded with a peak effort at game time.

A successful handicapper should know all he can about the ability of the players on a team, individually and overall. He should know the coaches, their philosophy, team morale and anything else about the team that might affect its play and performance.

A good handicapper will keep meticulous and truthful records of his decisions and their outcome. He will learn his strengths and weaknesses. This will teach and motivate him to improve his work constantly.

A lot of luck is involved in sports handicapping. (Although you make your own luck) I would say that over 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.

A successful handicapper will find himself constantly gaining confidence in his work and its results, especially if he heeds his mistakes and makes the adjustments. Remember, one should learn a lot more from losing than winning.

Over the years we 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.

In the big picture the focus should be on the long term monetary benefits not picking a TV game correctly.
