8 secrets of betting (on sports)

The judgment is debatable, because the professional engagement in betting – grueling and exhausting work handicapper, requiring the latter to have a huge baggage of all kinds of knowledge and betting experience. But all is not so sad – based on a set of some private betting rules, it is possible to successfully confront the bookie. These rules are derived from the experience (sometimes unhappy) not one generation of bettors, so not to trust them is inadmissible. They are written to help beginner bettors, in order to protect debutantes from basic betting mistakes.

So, read the basic secrets of betting on sports in bookmakers.

Secret 1: don’t be afraid of losses

Recall the concept of “cowardly money” – finances that the bettor is very afraid to lose, and wants (often because of need) to increase a hundred percent. In this case, the loss of the deposit is almost guaranteed.

Secret 2: Do not strive to win back immediately

Once trapped in a losing streak, a player has a natural urge to win it all back as quickly as possible. Bets begin to be placed thoughtlessly, using large sums and looking for the “exorbitant” odds. The principle “all or nothing” does not apply here and leads only to a complete collapse.

Secret 3: Do not go into a winner’s euphoria

This point resembles the second secret, but the algorithm is reversed. After winning three or four bets in a row, the bettor begins to believe in his star, and in an elated state “gives” the bookie the entire size of his bank.

Secret 4: Don’t be influenced by the odds

• Mentally unstable forecasters often change an already thought-out bet when they see new odds on a selected event. 
• The in-house analysts of a bookmaker’s office often use it and manipulate the values of their line on purpose.

Secret 5: avoid betting on your favorite team

The player’s psychology is such that the chances of your favorite club are almost always evaluated biased. It is understandable that a bettor wants to bet on a team he likes, but professional betting is about making a profit, not about having fun.

Secret 6: Get rid of bettor greed

The handicapping community is always looking for more, but chasing high odds and making huge odds bets can only lead you into trouble.

Secret 7: Don’t get hung up on third party advice

Other people’s advice is not bad, but you should always have an individual opinion. According to statistics, the vast majority of forecasters still lose, and listening to all in a row makes no particular sense. Although it is sometimes useful to listen to the recommendations of “seasoned” handicappers.

Secret 8: Use a psychological reset

Even professionals cannot do only betting all the time. A periodic disconnection from betting is only beneficial, otherwise the handicapper’s brain gets overloaded and begins to produce wrong decisions. Temporary absence of a player in a betting office is simply necessary.

Conclusions

Take advantage of the above betting secrets can be used not only by debutants, but also by handicappers who are not satisfied with their own gambling activity in many ways (prolonged “black streaks”, constant losses of bankroll). With time, gaining experience and gaining necessary betting knowledge, each prognosticator acquires his own professional secrets of successful betting, and whether to share them with colleagues is an individual matter. Good luck!
