Early Betting Markets: Gain an Edge Before the Line Moves

One of the reasons why sharps and professional gamblers are moving to Prime Sportsbook is for the early betting markets.

In fact, for a sportsbook to be considered in the elite class for sharp action betting, it must offer early betting markets.

Sharps demand first access to the opening betting lines because they can get a significant price advantage for games in which they anticipate large moves away from the opening numbers.

The advantage of early betting is that it gives your bankroll more profit potential and cushion.

What Are Early Betting Markets?

Early betting markets allow gamblers to take advantage of potentially weak opening lines before they adjust to where they should be.

Before the game, bettors often read prices guaranteed to change significantly later.

So, making an early bet with a much different line can turn a win into what otherwise would have been a loss because of the dramatic price changes that happen later.

Sharp action betting is all about getting the right price at the right time.

When a professional reads the opening betting lines, he can detect which lines will move several points once fully exposed to the public.

Thus, the early betting markets offer the chance to beat the closing line.

Why Sharp Bettors Target Early Lines

There are numerous benefits for professional gamblers who take advantage of the early betting markets. Sharp action betting targets the early betting markets to exploit lines that will change.

Perhaps the pros see that the opening betting lines are weak or will change based on social media trends and sports media narratives, and several points can be gained by betting before the masses join the action.

With the early betting markets, there is the potential for greater line value, lower vig opportunities, closing line value exploitation, and hedge opportunities.

When the opening betting lines are several points off, that can also set up potential value opportunities on the live “in-game” markets that can be played off the opening betting lines.

Risks and Considerations of Early Market Betting

Of course, early betting markets come with potential risk and reward.

These days, because of social media and readily accessible information, the early betting markets and opening betting lines can fluctuate dramatically.

Sharp action betting may drive the prices early and late, but in between, the casual sector and regular gamblers will have their say, as will sports and social media.

Between opening betting lines and closing odds, additional factors such as injuries, weather, personnel changes, and other news will drive the market prices.

It is also possible that betting limits could be lowered depending on the news leading up to the game.
