Home team advantage

January 9th, 2010

In pretty much all team sports where there a team may visit another stadium to challenge another team, the team playing at home is considered to have a significant advantage over the visiting team. Because of this, important games in many sports are decided by special rules for determining who gets the home advantage. When the victor is decided over two games, it is normal to let each team play one game at home. If there is only one game that decides the outcome, either the team that has done most to deserve it (by having more points or having won previous games against the same opponent or similar) or a neutral stadium that none of the teams benefit from may be used. Most of the home team advantage comes from psychology and sometimes from a few quirks in the rules bending to favor the home team.

The home team normally gets the choice of wearing their home uniform/kit rather than the one they have at away games.
The identity of the team is often mainly based on the home colors and the crowd of fans dress accordingly.
The crowd is considered as strong as an extra player for the team having them on their side.
This is normally and advantage but on rare occasions if the team performs poorly, the home crowd might turn against them.
At the home arena, the personal working there are of course in favor of the home team.
This results in the cheerleading and music chosen will be designed to cheer for the home team and on occasion mock the away team. The home team lineups are often presented to pompous music with good room for the crowd to cheer for every name being presented and sometimes a search light follow the players as they march in. The away team on the other hand gets a very brief presentation without any extras.
Another advantage with playing at home is that the away team has to put up with the hassle of transportation to the stadium and often staying at a hotel and not being familiar with the sites. The home team may sleep at home with their families and normal routines and get a better focus on the game itself.

When the game is being played, a lot of pressure is applied on the away players by the crowd. When for example a penalty shot is taking place in icehockey, the crowd goes wild trying to pressure the shooter into making a mistake.
On the odd occasion, the home stadiums location is playing an important part. The national football stadium of Honduras is located on a very high altitude making the air very light to breath. The home players are of course used to this but the visiting team normally isn’t, making them out of breath a lot faster than normally thus causing them to play worse than they normally would.
This is a controversial issue yet to be challenged.
A more common example of this is when team who are used to playing in sunshine and warm weather are to visit a team playing in several degrees below freezing or where it often rains heavily.

There may also be favors built into the system of home and away games.
In icehockey during stoppages in play, the home team is allowed to be the last to make player substitutions. This gives them the benefit to see what players the visiting team lets in before picking their own lineups.
Also, when preparing for faceoffs, the away team’s centre must be the first to put down his stick giving the home team’s center the advantage of timing the faceoff better thus getting better odds of actually winning it.

The single most important factor when picking a site is to find the site that offer the best odds. The odds normally differ from one day to the next but they normally follow the same tendency. The betting sites follow the same percentage of the money spent on betting that goes back to the players. Because of this, a web bookie that had good odds yesterday is likely to have good odds other days as well making it a good choise for where you should be spending your wagering budget. Circlebet returns 94.8% to their customers. This is among the best in online betting.
