5 secrets you should know about sports betting

Never put all your eggs in one basket. That adage is true for life, for other types of investments, and for sports betting as well. This is the underlying notion behind diversification. The truth is that there is no sure way not to lose the jersey. Some people say, “trust your gut,” but if you have a case of bubbling guts, they may not be too reliable. It is imperative to use common sense, and that always brings me back to my first point; never put all your eggs in one basket. However, I have some secrets that I only share with friends. These secrets will be invaluable if you are involved in sports betting, online betting, or online gambling. Good thing we’re friends, check them out below.

1. Know your limits. While this is true in gambling, it is also true in sports betting. Knowing your limits extends to your drinking. Make a rule, that you will not gamble when you are drunk. Your perceptions are skewed and you’ll be screwed.

2. Do your homework! Well, let’s just say USC always loses the last game in November. This year they are playing in Alabama. Why would you waste your bet against Alabama if they play USC in the last game in November? If you hadn’t done your homework, you would!

3. Play with your available funds. Establish money you can bear to lose. We always hear this rule from any expert in the field of stock market and foreign exchange. This is what you bet with, and you leave it at that. Developing a problem or getting into one can be very easy. But if you follow this advice, you’ll never have to worry about Big John’s guys knocking on your door at 4 a.m.

4. No loyalty! This one is hard. You see, I’m a staunch FSU Seminole, if you cut me down I’ll honestly bleed maroon and gold. Believe me, on a Friday night I tried it. But no matter how much I love my alma mater, it shouldn’t influence my decision to make a solid bet. I mean we are talking about money. And the last time I checked FSU had made enough money on my bachelor’s degree.

5. Look at the accessories. I don’t bet on these. They are alternative side bets to the final score. I don’t bet on these…that often.
