Making money playing online football with online sports betting is a perfectly achievable target for anyone. Within this article, I want to show you what separates the men (profitable) from the boys (losers) in relation to sports betting.

Bet About what You Know

Although you can find exceptions (see below), you should only bet about what you know.

There are various losers who bet on a sport since they get a “feeling”. They don’t have any logic or analysis or knowledge that they utilize to make their betting decisions. Not just that, but many of these guys will think emotionally and after that invent a pseudo-scientific logic to justify their actions.

Keep in mind, these guys lose time and time again – and they even contrive their very own false logic to describe to themselves which it was “lady luck” and keep their egos intact!

Tipping Services

If you want to make money but don’t yet know enough about a certain sport as well as sports in general then you might want to check out tipping services, otherwise known as “picks”.

The problem with tipping services is that this world is a veritable minefield. It may be really hard to separate the great from the bad and the ugly.

In general, paid services are better than free services. Not absolutely, but in general. Secondly, only join a service in the event you can cancel with zero of very little notice. Do not go with a service that locks you in for six months. Thirdly, look out for statistics that prove the long term yield of a tipping service. In the event the yield is negative then obviously avoid it – ideally you want a yield of approximately 15% minimum.

Sports Betting Systems

Any pro-gambler who produces picks that are consistent winners will either know a whole lot about his sport or, more likely, he may also be using his own system.

But why pay a monthly fee for picks whenever you could buy a system instead and decide your own bets? Another advantage is that you will learn a great deal about what you are betting on – it is always preferable to understand your bets rather than simply bet “blind”.

Most systems are simply a set of conditions and rules that you need to look for to be able to identify a betting opportunity. In which case you should follow a prescribed staking plan, as described through the system.
