Betting on sports has to be older than recorded history. We realize that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting even though the loser probably wouldn’t or couldn’t show up for the next game.

World wide the amount of cash bet on sports must be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware has to be making a whole lot of money 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 begin to realise that a little thought and common sense could save me a great deal of dough as well as maybe even make me some cash. For example blindly betting on a team that you support just isn’t the answer. You should 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 top as games like golf just has too many variables and even favourites play a whole lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and cannot judge. Look if you feel at ease 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 can help improve our chances they can be.

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 online football gambling site.

At the same time don’t pick the under dog. Sure they can get up and make you an excellent return however the chances are they won’t and you shall have lost your hard earned money.

Look-at middle ranking situations alright it may seem hard to separate them but by doing your research you shall find that one can. For instance does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the 2 sides? This is not just the teams but coaches also.

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 exact same result then the odds are that may be the correct one. Whenever they can’t make up their mind move on to another game as this one may very well be too close.

Limit the range 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 not enough to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
