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 must be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a whole lot of money all I know is it certainly was not me.
Like most 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 just a little thought and common sense could save me a whole lot of dough and maybe even make me some money. As an example blindly betting on a team that you support just isn’t the answer. You need to stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.
In the event 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 and even favourites play a great deal more tournaments than they win. Tennis I don’t know enough about and can’t judge. Look if you feel confident 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 playing online football casino I sat down some time ago and put together a list or set of rules that we thought can help improve our chances they may be.
Do not pick the most obvious favourite as the returns for a win are too small and also the risk of a loss to great.
At the same time don’t pick the under dog. Sure they can get up and make you a great return however the chances are they will not and also you shall have lost your hard earned money.
Look-at middle ranking situations alright it may seem difficult to separate them but by doing your research you shall find which 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 as well.
Are key players available? This is vital and may 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 they can be notoriously inaccurate. However should the majority pick the same result then the odds are that can be the correct one. If they can’t make up their mind move on to another game as this one could possibly 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 5% of it was the limit on any one bet.
All of this made us a small profit but certainly insufficient to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
