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 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 must be making a great deal of cash 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 just a little thought and common sense could save me a whole lot of dough as well as maybe even make me some cash. As an example blindly betting on a team that you support is just not the answer. You will need 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 don’t follow and then you just do not 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 lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I do not know enough about and similar resource site can’t judge. Look if you feel comfortable 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 are.

Don’t 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 do not pick the under dog. Sure they may get up and make you a good return though the chances are they will not and also you may have lost your money.

Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem challenging to separate them but by doing your research you shall find that you could. For example does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the 2 sides? This isn’t just the teams but coaches also.

Are key players available? This really is vital and may 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 they may be notoriously inaccurate. However if the majority pick the same result then the odds are that may be the correct one. Whenever they cannot make up their mind move on to another game as this one may be too close.

Limit the range 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 anyone bet.

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