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 has to be making a great deal of money all I know is it certainly was not me.

Like the majority of 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 perhaps even make me some cash. For example blindly betting on a team that you support is not the answer. It’s important to stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.

In the event that you are a true sports fan that maybe easier said than done so pick a sport that you do not follow and after that you just don’t care who wins or looses. I find team sports to be the very best 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 cannot judge. Look if you feel comfortable 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 great return but the chances are they won’t and you shall have lost your money.

Look-at middle ranking situations alright it may seem difficult to separate them but by doing your research you will find that you could. For example does one side travel better than the other? What is the history between the two sides? This is not just click the following website the teams but coaches as well.

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 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 which will be the correct one. Whenever 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 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.
