Tips and Tricks

• When betting on player props, it is important to consider the matchup. For example, a running back is more likely to have success against a defense that is weak against the run.
• It is also important to consider the weather conditions. For example, a quarterback is more likely to throw for more yards in a dome than in an outdoor stadium.
• Finally, it is important to shop around for the best odds. Not all sportsbooks offer the same odds on player props.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Betting on too many player props. It is important to focus on the most likely bets.
• Betting on players who are injured. Injured players are more likely to miss games or not perform at their best.
• Chasing losses. If you lose a bet, do not try to win it back by betting more money on another bet.
