Betting on sports has to be older than recorded history. We know that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting however the loser probably wouldn’t or couldn’t show up for the next game.
World wide the total amount of cash bet on sports has to be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a whole lot of money all I know is it certainly was not me.
Similar to most people betting on sports was all about fun for me I never thought of making serious money from it.
Although I did begin to realise that just a little thought and common sense could save me a lot of dough and perhaps even make me some cash. As an example blindly betting on a team that you support is not the answer. You have to stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.
In case you are a true sports fan that maybe easier said than done so pick a sport that you don’t follow and then you just don’t care who wins or looses. I find team sports to be the top as games like golf just has too many variables as well as favourites play a lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and can’t judge. Look if you feel at ease with these sports do not let me talk you out of it.
Alright so you’ve got picked your sport or sports then what.
Well a friend and I sat down some time ago and put together a list or group of rules that we thought may help improve our chances they are.
Don’t pick the most obvious favourite as the returns for a win are too small and the risk of a loss to great.
At the same time do not pick the under dog. Sure they may get up and make you a good return though the chances are they won’t and also you shall have lost your money.
Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem challenging to separate them but by doing your research you shall find that you could. For example does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the 2 sides? This is not just the teams but coaches as well.
Are key players available? This really is vital and can throw off rules 12&3 straight away.
What are this Sports Writers and Journalists saying and read more than one of their predictions as on there own also they can be notoriously inaccurate. However should the majority pick the exact same result then the odds are that will be the correct one. If they can not make up their mind move on to another game as this one may very well be too close.
Limit the number of bets you make if you bet on every one you will inevitable lose.
Finally control the amount that you bet we had a fund and trusted safe football 5% of it was the limit on anyone bet.
All of this made us a small profit but certainly inadequate to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
