Betting on sports has to be older than recorded history.
We realize that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting however the loser probably wouldn’t or could not show up for the next game.
World wide the amount of cash bet on sports has to be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware has to be making a whole lot of cash all I know is it certainly was not me.
Like many people betting on sports was all about fun for me I never thought of making serious money from it.
Although I did start to realise that a little thought and common sense could save me a great deal of dough and possibly even make me some cash. For example blindly betting on a team that you support just isn’t the answer. You will need 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 do not follow and then you just do not 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 great deal more tournaments than they win. Tennis I don’t know enough about and can not judge. Look if you feel confident with these sports don’t 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’re.
Don’t pick the obvious favourite as the returns for a win are too small as well as the risk of a loss to great.
At the same time don’t pick the under dog. Sure they might get up and make you a great return although the chances are they will not and you shall have lost your money.
Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem difficult to separate them but by doing your investigation you will find that you may. By way of 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 also 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 same result then the odds are which will be the correct one. If they cannot make up their mind move on to another game as this one might 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 good soccer 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.
