The Top 5 Reasons To Bet On Sports in 2021

They say love is blind... and I haven't seen a bet slip with eyeballs before so as far as I'm concerned betting IS love. We here at Dimers.com pride ourselves on our sports picks and predictions, but that's only half the story!

We take a look at five reasons YOU should be throwing your money down on sports before the year's out. If you're already a self-proclaimed betting GOAT 🐐 then take a look at the list below and see how many resonate with you and maybe think about getting some action in NFL Week 1.

Here are Dimers.com's Top 5 reasons to bet on sport👇

1. To make bank, baby!

Money. Everyone LOVES money. And I’d argue there’s no better feeling than the moment of instant gratification when you nail your five-team parlay and see that cash-money roll on in. If you can find me a bettor that doesn’t bet to make money I’ll show you a straight-up liar.

In saying this, your ultimate goal shouldn’t just be to MAKE money and if you’re relying on your sports betting to pay your bills then you, my friend, have a gambling problem.

And that leads us in to point number two!

2. Sports betting is great fun.

Betting on Rob Gronkowski to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl LV is (and was) f*cking fun. Nothing unites you and your buddies quite like riding a bet together, whether it be at the bar, or somewhere else.

If I can go one step further, riding bets together is good for any relationship. Biff with your friend? Ride a bet together. Need an ice breaker to kickstart your next big office meeting? Ride a bet together. Fought with your girlfriend because you forgot her birthday? Ride a bet together.

As long as you keep it light and fun, gambling on sports is seriously darn good fun and keeps you invested in the action.

3. To gain ultimate sporting supremacy over your buddies, of course!

I know you. You love being right. And you hate that I called you out on it. But hey, don’t we all? That first, crisp fistbump after you got your buddy on to a winning ‘Kyle Kuzma 6+ Assists’ ticket is a moment you take with you to the grave.

Nothing says, “I’m the alpha here” quite like predicting how a game will pan out, and then having it pan out the exact same way.

4. It allows you to watch sports with a different lens

There’s no doubt that if you’ve already hit your straps as a sports gambler (i.e. you know your stuff and bet with multiple online sportsbooks) you look at the games you bet on with a different lens.

Let’s be real, no one outside the Pels organization and fanbase cares about Zion Williamson. But if you bet on the NBA 2020/21 season you’ll know that Zion was a bettor’s best friend last season. He did what he needed to do every game and boy, did we cash in here at Dimers HQ.

5. Winning a bet after you identified team trends or found an edge against the sportsbooks' markets.

There’s no shame in admitting to doing your homework before placing a bet. In fact, if you’re serious about betting on sports in the U.S., we encourage you to do your homework. Identifying player and team trends is particularly important because data predicts an often accurate picture about how that player and team will perform.

Of course, part of the fun (and sometimes frustration) of sports is that anything can happen. That’s sports, though, right?

All the sharps talk about finding the edge in a sportsbook’s odds and even if you’re not quite sure how to do that, it’s important to note that not all online sportsbooks in the US throw up the same odds for the same markets. BetMGM might be offering juicier odds than PointsBet Sportsbook for a Shohei Ohtani home-run and part of the fun of betting is noting this and capitalizing accordingly.

This is where we come in! Dimers Quick Picks effectively identifies the best odds and edges on a wide variety of sports. We always recommend using Quick Picks when doing your research, whether your on the couch with a beer or at the bar with your buddies.

💭 Final thoughts...

At the end of the day, sports betting is meant to be fun. Whether you know what you’re doing or not, use Dimers as your one-stop shop for all things Sports Betting 101.

And don’t forget: If you’re not walking into work on a Monday boasting about your latest weekend hits to your pals, did it really happen?
