Betting on sports has to 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 total amount of money bet on sports must be absolutely phenomenal some one some ware must be making a lot of money all I know is it certainly was not me.

Like the majority of 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 just a little thought and common sense could save me a lot of dough and maybe even make me some cash. By way of example blindly betting on a team that you support is just not the answer. You have to 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 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 and also favourites play a whole lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I don't know enough about and can't judge. Look if you feel comfortable 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 may 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 same time don't pick the under dog. Sure they can get up and make you a good return though the chances are they won't and also you will 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 you can. By way of example does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the two sides? This isn't just the teams but coaches as well.

Are key players available? This is vital and may throw off rules 12&3 straight away.

What are this Sports Writers and playing football online - enlinea.unitex.edu.mx post to a company blog - 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 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 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 not enough to boast about but we did enjoy ourselves.
