Home Field Advantage

When betting team sports there is a home team and an away team. More often than not the home team is favored. The reasoning behind the home team being favored to win has more to do than being home.

The home team is well rested and are used to their surroundings. Players especially athletes need and have a routine. The home team goes through the same routine as usual when playing at home. Familiarity gives comfort to an athlete knowing that they are home.

The home teams have clear advantages over away teams especially in Football. The fans in football are loud and crude towards away teams. Being loud can create a loss of concentration which will not allow away teams to perform to their highest capability.  Fans can create false starts by being loud. A false start is when a player moves before the quarterback hikes the ball by doing this it provokes the defense to jump off sides.

When betting on a game and both teams are evenly matched bet on the home team.
