Weather you are betting online football, baseball, basketball, the ponies, well you get the point. Whatever flavor of sports you love, and and you have decided to gambling online, you have to learn one thing, and its an important thing. Discipline.
In what sense does discipline matter if you gamble? Too many reading here that might seem like a no brainier. On any given day there are thousands of sports games to bet on, and if you have the fever (and you know who you are if you have the fever) you will be salivating to have a bet placed on every game of the day.
If you do play every game you will loose, I promise. In fact want to bet on it? LOL. Why do you think most that bet football lose. The smartest game in town I have ever seen is the football tickets floating around. You know the ones that you pay a dollar for and win like 45 if you pick 4 teams correct. The bookie that thought this up is genius, you are forced to pick 4 games correct, and you win more if you pick 5 to win. How many of you have ever one these? The odds are so stacked against you its ridiculous. Its only a dollar you say. Yea thats like walking into the dollar store and coming out with 20 items, great! Your still out $20 plus tax, and half the stuff you really did not need.
One game a day if your studying and concentrating. This takes discipline and a bit of wisdom. Wisdom that comes from a professional gambler that has been betting for 25 years.
Your second lesson and the most important one is, if you do not have the discipline to stick to one sport, and at most two games a day (I prefer one for money management) weather it be football, basketball, baseball, just walk away and learn discipline. Its a sickness for some gambling, but learning to pick just a few a day or week will increase your odds of being successful at gambling by %50
Next week on control the amount you bet…..
