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 must be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a great deal of cash 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 whole lot of dough as well as maybe even make me some money. For instance blindly betting on a team that you support just isn’t the answer. You have to stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.
If 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 do not care who wins or looses. I find team sports to be the very best as games like golf just has too many variables and also favourites play a great deal more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and can’t judge. Look if you feel comfortable with these sports do not let me talk you out of it.
Alright so you have picked your sport or sports then what.
Well a friend and I sat down some time ago and put together a list or set of rules that we thought may help improve our chances they may be.
Do not pick the obvious favourite as the returns for a win are too small and also the risk of a loss to great.
At the exact same time don’t pick the under dog. Sure they could get up and make you the best return though the chances are they will not 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 investigation you shall find you can. For example does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the two sides? This is not just the teams but coaches also.
Are key players available? This really is vital and will throw off rules 12&3 straight away.
What are this Sports Writers and Journalists saying and read More Material than one of their predictions as on there own also they can be notoriously inaccurate. However should the majority pick the same result then the odds are that can be the correct one. Should they cannot make up their mind move on to another game as this one may be too close.
Limit the number of bets you make if you bet on every one you will inevitable lose.
Finally manage the amount that you bet we had a fund and 5% of it was the limit on any one bet.
All of this made us a small profit but certainly inadequate to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
