If you want to make money betting on sports one way to do so is by betting on a big underdog. This way if they end up pulling off a huge upset and winning the game you will make a load of cash. But remember, betting on an underdog to win is a huge risk...


...after all they are the underdog for a reason.

Before you bet on an underdog you will want to do as much research as possible.  Even though a team may be a heavy underdog, there could be some details out there that make the bet a bit less risky.  Look for these situations.

1. If the favored team has some injured players, betting on the underdog is a bit less risky. 

2. Sometimes the underdog will be well rested, where as the favored team is on a short week of rest.  If this is the case the underdog may have a better chance of pulling off the victory.

3. Take into consideration where the game is being played.  Taking an underdog that has home field advantage is always a good idea. 

4. If the underdog team has one great player they may be worth a look.  In big games, star players do amazing things.  Keep an eye out for an underdog that has star power.

Betting on a big underdog is probably going to be a losing proposition.  But year in and year hundreds of upsets happen in every sport.  If you can pick one out your chances of cashing in big are very good.
