Making money online with online sports betting is a perfectly achievable target for anyone. Within this article, I want to show you what separates the men (profitable) from the boys (losers) in relation to sports betting.

Bet About what You Know

Although there are actually exceptions (see below), you should only bet on the you know.

There are lots of losers who bet on a sport because they get a “feeling”. They do not possess any logic or analysis or knowledge that they will use to make their betting decisions. Not simply that, but many of these guys will think emotionally and then invent a pseudo-scientific logic to justify their actions.

Bear in mind, these guys lose time and time again – and they even contrive their very own false logic to explain to themselves which it was “lady luck” and quality football keep their egos intact!

Tipping Services

If you want to make money but don’t yet know enough about a certain sport or even sports in general then you might want to check out tipping services, also referred to as “picks”.

The problem with tipping services is that this world is a veritable minefield. It can be quite hard to separate the great from the bad as well as the ugly.

In general, paid services are better than free services. Not necessarily, but in general. Secondly, only join a service if you can cancel with zero of very little notice. Do not complement a service that locks you in for six months. Thirdly, check for statistics that prove the long-term yield of a tipping service. If the yield is negative then obviously avoid it – ideally you want a yield of around 15% minimum.

Sports Betting Systems

Any pro-gambler who produces picks that are consistent winners will either know a great deal about his sport or, more likely, he can even be using his own system.

But why pay a monthly fee for picks whenever you could buy a system instead and decide your own bets? The other advantage is that you will learn a great deal about what you are betting on – it really is always preferable to understand your bets rather than simply bet “blind”.

Most systems are simply a group of conditions and rules that you need to look for to be able to identify a betting opportunity. Then you should follow a prescribed staking plan, as described through the system.
