Lesson 1: General Tips |
|
|
|
|
|
The following is a short-listing of quick sports betting tips. These tips are meant as a supplement to basic sports betting strategies. Follow these betting tips for some general sports betting guidelines and a bit of advice from experienced sports bettors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - | Sports betting is more about information than luck. Don't just count on having good luck. |
| |
| - | Be sure to stay informed about the latest betting news. The more you know the better your chances of winning will be. |
| |
| - | Listen to your head not your heart. Don't just bet on the team you like more, do research and be objective. |
| |
| - | Never risk more than 25 to 30 percent of your bankroll on any given week. |
| |
| - | Never bet more than you are comfortable losing. |
| |
| - | Limit the number of bets you make at one time. Placing too many bets is playing against the odds. |
| |
| - | Do not increase your bets in order to make up for previous losses. This will only result in greater losses. |
| |
| - | Winning and losing streaks are a part of sports betting; don't let them affect the amount you wager. |
| |
| - | You only need to have a small winning edge to make a profit gambling on sports. Don't expect to win 70 or 80 percent of the time. A 55 percent winning average can result in a nice profit over the long run. |
| |
| - | Wait to place bets on sports games, you'll have more information about injuries and other game conditions. |
| |
| - | Remember you are betting against the oddsmaker not the bookmaker taking your bets. |
| |
| - | A point spread is not a prediction on the outcome of the game. The point spread is designed so that the oddsmaker can expect equal money to be bet on each side. |
| |
| - | Sportsbooks adjust the odds based on the number of bettors on each side. Look for anomalies based on public favorites. |
| |
| - | Future bets can be some of the most profitable sports bets. If you are very knowledgeable about the sport in question then consider futures betting. |
