Betting on sports must be older than recorded history. We know that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting however the loser probably would not or could not show up for the next game.

World wide the amount of cash bet on sports has to be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a whole lot of cash all I know is it certainly was not me.

Similar to most 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 whole lot of dough and possibly even make me some money. As an example blindly betting on a team that you support is not the answer. You should stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.

If you are a true sports fan that maybe easier said than done so pick a sport that you don’t follow and after that 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’t 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 online soccer gambling set of rules that we thought can help improve our chances they may be.

Do not pick the 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 could get up and make you an excellent return although the chances are they won’t and also you may have lost your hard earned money.

Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem challenging to separate them but by doing your research you shall find that you can. By way of 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 really is vital and can 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 may be the correct one. Should they cannot 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 any one bet.

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