Betting on sports has to be older than recorded history.

We know that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting however the loser probably would not or couldn’t show up for the next game.

World wide the amount of money bet on sports must be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a 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 just a little thought and online soccer online common sense could save me a lot of dough and perhaps even make me some cash. For 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 the event 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 don’t care who wins or looses. I find team sports to be the best as games like golf just has too many variables as well as favourites play a whole lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and can not judge. Look if you feel comfortable with these sports don’t 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 set of rules that we thought may help improve our chances they are.

Do not pick the most obvious favourite as the returns for a win are too small and the risk of a loss to great.

At the exact same time don’t pick the under dog. Sure they might get up and make you a good return but the chances are they will not and also you shall have lost your money.

Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem tough to separate them but by doing your investigation you shall find you can. By way of example does one side travel better than the other? What is 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 also 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 may be notoriously inaccurate. However should the majority pick the exact 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 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 anyone bet.

All of this made us a small profit but certainly insufficient to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
