Betting on sports must be older than recorded history. We realize 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 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 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 great deal of dough and possibly even make me some money. By way of example blindly betting on a team that you support isn't the answer. You will need to stand back be analytical and detached with no personal involvement.

If you're a true sports fan that maybe easier said than done so pick a sport that you do not follow and then 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 and even favourites play a whole lot more tournaments than they win. Tennis I don't know enough about and cannot 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 group 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 also the risk of a loss to great online football gambling agent.

At the same time do not pick the under dog. Sure they may get up and make you the best return though the chances are they won't and you will have lost your money.

Look at middle ranking situations alright it may seem hard to separate them but by doing your investigation you shall find that one can. As an example does one side travel better than the other? What will be the history between the 2 sides? This is not just the teams but coaches also.

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 in the event the majority pick the exact same result then the odds are that will be the correct one. Whenever they cannot 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.
