Can you make money on sports betting?

We have all seen the adverts, or the websites telling us that fortunes can be made betting on your favourite sport! Statements like ‘I made a million, so can you’ or ‘leave your job today and make your fortune in gambling’. If, like me you have been fooled in to buying these so called ‘miracle systems’ then you will know the disappointment of reading over them to find that to make the money the systems claim is there for the taking would take enormous amounts of luck to say the least.

Some of the systems I have seen are the laughable multi team accumulator; you have probably seen them too. It will require you to bet on around 15 matches (all sure things!) and place a small amount to win £1000’s. People, of course have won the odd accumulator and the bookies (bookmaker) actually love that they have. Now that might seem like a silly statement, the bookies like people to win??? Surely not? Well look at it this way, if one person wins an accumulator bet and gets publicity about it, other people are then encouraged to try it, after all this person won so why can’t I? 999,999 times out of a million these people will lose their money and the bookie wins.

There are also new spates of systems that require you to place various bets during the course of a match depending on how the game is going. You may have purchased one of them, they go something like this… At the start of the game bet on team A to win, then when team A scores double your original bet and place this money on team B to draw, if team B then scores bet again on team A with 75% of the original bet and then if Team A scores again bet on Team B to win with 4 times the original bet. Confused? You will be.

These are just two examples of systems that you can buy online today that in, my opinion, will make you no money at all.

Another thing to consider is that around 90% of betting systems are scams, or are made up of old systems and rehashed, repackaged and sent out again. Be very wary of any system that guarantees you to win 100% of the time. Unless that system is arbitrage then it is not true and is a scam. Arbitrage (for those readers that don’t know) is the system of using different bookmakers odds on a sporting event to cover all outcomes without the possibility of losing. This doesn’t happen very often over a sporting year and there can be a very small window of opportunity to make money on each event as the bookmakers realise and change the odds. Large money can’t be made this way and you are betting of sticking with your 9 – 5 job!

If all sports betting systems worked there would be no bookmakers as they would all be out of money. Methods of presenting systems may be getting more sophisticated but the systems are the same.

A popular system you may of come across is basically keep doubling your bet until you win! People actually sell this as a ‘system’ it is common sense that if you keep doubling your bet to cover a previous losing bet you will eventually win and be back in the black. But what is not commonly thought of is that if you had 10 losses in a row and your first bet was only £1 or $1 you would be betting over £1000 or $1000 to try and get back to winning ways and if you were unlucky enough to get to 14 straight loses it would cost you over £8000 or $8000 to try and get back to winning ways. You can see that very quickly you could lose a lot more than your savings.

The general rules of betting which should never be ignored are very simple.

1. Never bet money you can’t afford to lose

2. Never chase a loss

3. There is no such thing as a sure thing

There are very few systems out there that encourage you to embrace these simple rules. If they don’t follow those rules don’t buy them and if you do buy them ask for your refund. Also be wary of systems that don’t offer a money back guarantee of at least 60 days. You must have a period to test the system if there is no chance of a test period, don’t buy the system. I encourage you to paper bet before betting with money. Paper betting is learning the system and writing down what bets you would of placed without actually placing money on them. This can be frustrating as you may miss potential wins but the testing period is essential to make sure the system works without costing you money.

Another sign of whether a system is worth what you are paying for it is simple, is there any statistical proof of winnings? Obviously very few people will tell you what games they bet on until you buy the system but once you have bought the system can you answer yes to this question? Does the system provide a recent list of bets placed and results that are fully checkable? If the answer is no then ask for your refund there and then. Systems that worked in 2003 or 1993 might not work in 2007.

Also check the rules for internet betting in your country, especially if you are in the USA after the recent change in the law there.

My particular area of expertise is football or soccer betting. There is only one system out of the 1000’s out there that I can recommend looking at. It offers a 90 day money back guarantee and full current proof of betting and adheres to the basic rules of betting I mentioned earlier. It is proving extremely profitable for football (soccer) betting and could be used for other sports as long as you know the sport you intend to bet on. I strongly advise using paper betting even with this system and be sure to use the guarantee if you feel that it hasn’t worked (that is what it is there for!) Do you know that 95% of us will not ask for our money back even if we know we have a legitimate reason for requesting a refund!

I love watching, playing, or even talking about sports with my friends. What I like even more than that is winning money from betting on sports. Some people claim they know who is going to win tonight’s game. They ask, “You wanna bet?” Well, now you can gladly take them on and win some money while doing it. There’s this betting system out there that claims to win 97% of NBA and MLB bets, and I can assure you it’s the real deal.

As far-fetched as it may sound, the Sports Betting Champ’s system really works. The system was designed by John Morrison, a PhD graduate in Statistics from Cornell University. As a sports lover himself, Morrison wanted to devise a system where he could continually win money from betting on sports, and it is now near perfection. He makes about $50,000 a week from his proven sports betting system, and in February 2009 alone, he made over $90,000. If you don’t believe him, just check out the real results. The 2007-2008 NBA season he finished with 80 wins and 1 loss! Come on, you can’t get much better than that! Well actually, yes he can. This past NBA season he went 78-0! A completely undefeated season! Also, during the 2008 MLB season he went 43-0.

When I first heard about this system, I was a total skeptic. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Some schmuck who claims to win 97% of his sports bets? It has to be fake. Boy, was I wrong. I mean, just take a look at thousands of real people who give real testimonials of his sports betting system. They are real people just like you and me, who decided to take the plunge to financial stability. I can’t give you the specifics of the way his system works, but it really does work. Let’s just say that if you’re looking for a sure fire way to make a substantial income, and maybe even quit your day job in the near future, look no further.

If you want to increase your chances of winning in online sports betting, consider to take the time to read these best online sports betting tips.

Tip #1. Whether you are betting on any sport – tennis, soccer, football, etc – or on horse racing, it is best to do research. Read news reports and team statistics before betting on any team or player. By reading sports magazines, newspapers, watching sports channels, and gathering online information on player profile (or team profile), you will be able to get important information that will help you decide which to bet on. Exactly how will you know if the information is really helpful? Most newspaper, magazine and television sports news are based on facts and figures. If you are looking at online information, choose only those articles that are credible (articles from sports websites, articles from online newspapers and magazines, as well as articles with an author’s name). From these sources, you will be able to know the strengths and weaknesses of the player (team) as well as getting updated on new players in the team. Such will help you make the best online sports betting decision.

For people who have been betting for sometime, if you noticed that you have been winning consecutively during your recent bets, it is wise not to push your luck too hard. There are instances when a person notices he has been winning on bets, that person never stops betting until such time that when he starts to lose, he then feels an urge to bet again to get back the money he lost; and a streak of losing begins until he has no money left to bet.  The worst scenario is, when a person finds himself in debt; and you definitely do not want that.

Tip #3. Be knowledgeable in the sport you bet on. Luck may play a factor in betting, but knowledge ensures your winning streak. Best online sports betting outcomes come from understanding how the sport is played, how people react to the sport, players’ performance in a teams, team statistics (not just the team you are interested in). As you gather and understand all the information, you will be able to weight and analyze all the factors that contribute to winning or losing a bet. Also, as you do this, you will eventually able to formulate your own approach to betting.

Have you ever wondered how the sports betting “smart money” became the smart money? Do you wonder what the football betting smart money does differently than the amateurs?

Sports betting experts aren’t afraid to bet on a heavy favorite, even if it means giving up a lot of points to the betting line. To understand this better, and to see how to make money with sports betting, take a look at my analysis of the Utah St. vs. Nevada game:

Utah St. at Nevada -29

29 points seems like a lot, but when you’re talking about a team like Nevada, I don’t think it’s enough.
One of the reasons we seem to win a high percentage of our games taking big favorites is because when teams are so completely mis-matched, like in this game with Nevada and Utah St., it’s nearly impossible for the odds makers to be accurate when they set their lines. In fact it’s not the odds makers’ job to be accurate -their job is to set the line to balance the money on both sides.

Most amateur gamblers have a psychological hang-up of giving so many points. It’s just human nature to want to get things, not give them, so the lines on “big line” games are often much lower than they should be. This is an example of such a game, in my opinion.

Nevada is 8-1 ATS this season, averaging over 32 points per game, whle Utah St. has given up 48 and 63 points in their last two games. Nevada has also won their last 5 ATS, and has rushed for a whopping 230, 236, and 222 yards in their last three games.

The simple analysis is this: Utah St. isn’t going to be able to stop Nevada’s offense from putting up a lot of points. The only way Utah St. covers is if they score a lot of points, and that’s not going to be likely when you consider they have the #114th scoring offense in the country. Add to that the fact that Utah St. has not only been bad SU, but they’ve also lost 5 of 7 ATS.

Nevada is also extremely tough at home, going both 9-1 SU and 9-1 ATS in thier last 10 home games. And one final note, Nevada’s home field is turf, not the grass Utah St. plays on at home. Utah St. is 0-10 SU in their last 10 games on turf, and 3-7 ATS. The turf is going to magnify Nevada’s speed advantage, and leave Utah St. grasping at air much of the day. I look for Nevada to run up and down the field, winning easily 48-13.

The actual final score in this game was Nevada 42, Utah St. 0.

By repeating this type of analysis over and over, somebody serious about sports betting can make big money!

It goes without saying that there is no fixed way to win a bet or make sure that what you think will work, will work. However what you can be sure of are some sports betting tips that you can follow and make your chances of winning surer. Here is an advanced guide to winning sports bets that will help you work your way through the sports betting ladder to the top!

The first thing that is instinctive and that anyone would do is probably betting on the right sports book. If you think all of them are the same, you’re wrong. Choosing the right one can increase your winning chances by three percent. Don’t be deceived by the percentage as when it is converted into money, it becomes a fairly bigger amount. Also don’t put all your money in one game. It is not worth the risk. If you have winning streaks, increase the betting amount.

Another trick is a little more time consuming but it sure is worth it. Here you bet against the betting percentages. If there is a magazine that tells you that Team A (+5) has 90% of winning chances so your sports bets are safer there, hunt for a sports book that offers Team B minus five. Of course this is not necessarily easy but it sure is beneficial.

There is a subtle factor that is more important than anything else probably. When you bet, make sure that you are clear headed and not under any sway. Some people offer you compliments and other benefits. This is to basically make your focus shift to other things and you have a bias. Also, you might want to consider this other trick. Look out for the general spirit of the public. Bet against them. Years of data has proved this to be right. Huge bets have been secured by betting this way for big games like the NBA.

There is something all the sports magazines in the world can’t do but you can. That’s fine tuning your research. You are looking at hat is beneficial to only yourself. Those guys have to watch everything about every sport and each game. You don’t. All you have to do is care about your game and the chances of YOU winning it. The internet is your friend. You can and you have to look up things online, observe trends and only then must you make a wise bet.

Speaking of wise, there is this particular method where you can track the games that have a huge betting percent. Now what’s important is that these don’t remain constant. The sides keep changing on the basis of various things. You should know the psychology of this side shifting.

You can also bet on unusual games. These can be extremely challenging and of course the risk factor is there but with a lot of research and thinking, you can make huge profits out of this. You can also have bets that allow another upon the winning of the first one. These are conditional but they can easily double your money.

Betting on a sport is in short, all about making the best use of your instincts but also not playing too hard with your luck. Judicious planning can lead to a good start and like they say, well begun is half done.

A betting line is the spread by which a betting game is set in order to create a balanced betting situation in any game played. This is important in predictable sports like NBA. There are times when a game is too inclined towards a certain team a betting line has to be drawn. It’s no more than adjusting the numbers by which a team is expected to win the game by adding a number to the loosing team or subtracting from the winner. For example Team A is expected to win at 107-101. The betting line would be set at team A – 7. This is done in order to attract bettors to bet on the other team. If team A won the game at 105-101, those who bet for team A will lose but those who bet for team B +7 will win.

Betting line is set by oddmakers not because a team is expected to win by that much against the other team. There are times when the underdog gets more bets than the favorite. A betting line is useless in this situation because the bet is already balanced. Situations like these are important for Sports line betting. There are times when the betting line is too far from the real situation. A high percentage of winning is therefore created. These situations are exploited by bettors.

Odds are not always true. They were only created to balance the amount of betting for each team. Expert bettors know this and will bet against the unfavorable betting line. The percentage of winning the betting game is considerably increased. Sports line betting is a sure income earner for people who know how the system works. Betting lines and the rate by which the betting line works are monitored closely by bettors to get an idea on how to bet the next time.

How would you like to have an insider’s report on how oddmakers unfavorably or unfavorably move the betting line? That would be an important piece of information. It would insure income to people who understand the process and bet based on the insider’s report. Sports line betting works this way and it is a sure way of getting money.

Sports line betting is no longer a hobby for some people. It’s already their job. People earn regularly and systematically through sports line betting. The NBA is too popular a sport that information about a certain team and individual players are readily available.

Any NBA fan can predict a winning and losing team. Some people may accurately predict a certain team’s victory and the number of point s difference between the winning and the losing team. But it is still a guess and is highly unsystematic. Getting the information right from people who created the situation is the best idea. They know the true situation. They based their decision on setting the betting line because of the all important information of the number of people actually betting for a particular team. If one has an access to this information then Sports line betting is a guaranteed winner.

Betting on sports is an interesting undertaking. This is because of the personal effect it has on sports. By personal effects, it is meant that it divests the sports of its third person influence and places the person who placed his bet as if his life depends on the outcome of the game. By having this effect, the game being watched upon by those who placed their bets becomes more interesting and personal and the person thereby develops a sense of connection with the game not experienced by those who refuse to bet.

It is for this reason that by placing your money on the game, said game partakes the nature of something more personal to you. And the excitement that comes along with it is far more stimulating than the excitement felt by those who do not bet. So if you are the type of person who is much into sports, then betting on it would be good for you insofar as the amplification of excitement is concerned. But the desire to bet might not be enough as you might not have someone who you know who is willing to bet.

Because of this, those who are into sports betting turn to the internet to find someone to bet against. It is for this reason that a lot of people turn to betting on sports online. By betting on sports online, you will not only have an unlimited people who might be up to the challenge insofar as betting on sports is concerned, but you will also have a steady group of people with whom to bet. People who are into betting on sports online have become familiar with people who are also into betting. And as such, they have come to know different individual sharing the same passion for betting on sports.

As a result a different bond will take place between these people. And so, if there is an interesting sporting event, and you want to have your money placed therein as a bet, then you wouldn’t have a hard time looking for people who are also into betting and who might also initiate betting on sports. It is for this reason that more and more people turn to betting on sports online so as to satisfy their thirst for a different kind of excitement.

Another reason why people turn to betting on sports online is the fact that by betting online, the necessity of leaving your house and find someone who might place a bet against your bet is displaced. Or in simple words, you won’t have to go outside the comforts of your home to find someone to have a bet against. Imagine the time saved by just betting on sports online. You won’t have to cancel your paperwork since all you need to do is click on the mouse and find the right bet most suitable for you.

By saving your time, you not only satisfy your need to have a different kind of excitement, you also satisfy you boss by not being delinquent in the performance of your job.

One of the main questions that all bettors consider is who will win the game, in fact that’s basically the answer that all bettors are searching for while betting. This question often comes up because of the fact that most sport books conveniently place numbers on a game in order to equalizer betting on both sides, in turn this makes your job of selecting the winning team even more difficult. That right there is what you would refer to as sports betting handicapping! To further help you understand this term, sports betting handicapping actually refers to the practice of assigning advantages through scoring compensations to different contestants to make the chances of winning more fair.

Also, the term may be applied to the different approaches by which the advantage is analyzed and calculated, as well as to the methods by which the bettors can predict the outcome of the sporting event they are betting on. Winning at a sports bet with your handicapping skills is not easy, and it doesn’t mean that just because you are a capper that the results will land in your favor. In fact, most casual bettors don’t make a profit from their sports betting handicapping hobby. Here are a few secrets that may help you generate profit from your wins and help you to become a successful capper:

Avoid the Bad Numbers

To become successful as a capper, the first thing that you should note is never to bet into bad numbers. So if possible, try shopping for the available sports betting handicapping lines at the sport books you are registered with. Carefully examine and analyze the lines, and determine which direction the line is likely to move. Several sports books are now available online and offline, so better do this task and shop for the best numbers before you place your bets. In other words, do your research, it just might pay off in the end for you!

Less Parlays, More Straight Bets

Many of the professional sports betting handicappers make the majority of their sports bets as straight bets and not as parlays. Well, the reason for this lies on the idea that straight bets on sports betting is the bread and butter, so it’s no wonder that professionals usually are satisfied with the return on investment from a 3-2 day, or a 12-8 week. They have recognized that although the parlays provide quick score, a season that is largely consisting of steady 2-1 type days will be even more profitable than the big hits that the parlays offer. This is true even in a good overall season. So when considering sports betting handicapping, make more straight bets and do fewer parlays.

Don’t Chase Your Losses

One of the most common mistakes that most beginer sports betting handicappers make is betting their streaks without thinking about the possibilities that may or may not occur. They just press their luck, raising the stakes to get back to even off a losing streak. Well, if you want to be successful in your sports betting handicapping, you should remember that there will be times when you lose more than you win. That will happen to everybody, so you are not an exemption to the rule. Therefore, rather than raising the stakes when you find yourself losing, it is best to lower it. Consider the amount of money you have while waiting for things to turn around. To put it mildly, don’t chase your losses, know when it’s time to stop and have the discipline to stop!
