Betting on sports has to be older than recorded history.

We know that the Romans were fanatical about sports betting even though the loser probably wouldn’t or could not 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 great deal 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 start to realise that a little thought and good online gambling agency common sense could save me a whole lot of dough and maybe even make me some cash. For example blindly betting on a team that you support just isn’t the answer. You have to 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 then you just don’t care who wins or looses. I find team sports to be the most effective as games like golf just has too many variables and even favourites play a great deal more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and can not judge. Look if you feel at ease 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 can help improve our chances they’re.

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 same time do not pick the under dog. Sure they could get up and make you a great return although the chances are they will not and also you may have lost your money.

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

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 also they can be notoriously inaccurate. However if the majority pick the exact same result then the odds are that can be the correct one. If they can not make up their mind move on to another game as this one could possibly 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 anyone bet.

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