The Top Ten Tips of Sports Betting
1/ Shop Around
For any sports event there is always a differentiation between the odds offered by the various book makers. Whether online or offline, make sure you have had a look at several bookies before committing your money. In addition, odds comparison sites are an invaluable tool in catching those elusive best price markets – check out http://www.betbrain.com, http://www.oddsmatrix.com, http://www.easyodds.com and http://www.oddschecker.com to find out where the smart money is going.
2/ Bet Within Your Limits
It sounds like a no brainer, but as with any betting, you don’t want to bankrupt yourself. So bank roll management is crucial. Pick a betting level that you can sustain, make constant notes on your exposure (especially on spread bets!) and have a winning target each week. Although you’re meant to enjoy the sports even more as you bet on them, no one enjoys losing, and good cash management will limit your risk.
3/ Grow Your Knowledge
Sports betting success can hinge entirely on the ability to analyse information. The ground’s wet at Cheltenham? So pick horses with form in the wet. In a more complex example, look at the previous match records both home and away of football teams. Betting success comes down to
1. Crunching the data,
2. Investment of the correct stake against the risk
3. Obviously a degree of luck.
The more you can ensure you have 1 and 2 on side, the less of 3 you’ll need!
4/ Exploiting Bookie Deals
Whether it’s a first deposit bonus (up to $500 match bonus free), a redeposit bonus, special competitions, regional prizes or VIP points, you will only ever improve the value of your betting by squeezing these deals until the bookie is pleading with you to stop (don’t worry, they never do – remember, the bookie always has the edge!). Check out the Bet Linx tab for the best deals around right now.
5/ Go Abroad
If you like football betting, have a look at Asian Handicap Betting as offered by http://www.sbobet.com and http://www.188bet.com (2 of the biggest and best operating in Europe). They don’t count drawers, as a starting point, so if you’re betting on outcomes you’ll always get better odds. And because of the billions of dollars wagered on soccer in the Far East every week, you can find some remarkable deals.
6/ If It’s Free, Take It!
Free bets are everywhere – seriously. Look around the betting websites such as Betfair, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Paddy Power, BWin, Unibet, Expekt, Gala Coral Eurobet and the rest, they’re gagging to take your betting pound. So aside from free deposit bonuses and VIP points you’ll see several free bet promotions, especially around big sports events. You can also check out sites like www.2010GrandNational.com and www.2010footballworldcup.com to see special free bet deals from bookies on these big events. By and large, they offer these to acquire you as a customer and to instill loyalty.
7/ Don’t Chase Losses, Especially After A Drink…
The Ronseal advice. If it’s not going to plan, or if you aren’t focussed on making objective decisions, then bail out – you’re onto a loser
