How to Approach Online Betting

Here are some tips to online betting. These are very general tips and not something that may directly make you loads of money. They’re more ‘mind-set’ focused.

But that doesn’t mean you value these tips any less. If anything, you should pay MORE attention to these. They’ll give you a strong foundation to build off of.

Anyway, enough preaching – let’s get started:

Know what you are betting on

One tip I got from a pro bettor is to like whatever it is you’re betting on. At least in the beginning.

It’s a lot easier to make the time to learn about something (sports betting) if you’re enjoying what you’re doing.

In other words – don’t bet volleyball matches if you don’t like watching them. Like MMA instead? Then watch and bet on that.

Be prepared for losses

Like I said, even the pros lose 40-48% of the time. If you’re new to this, how often do you realistically expect to win?

Know why you are betting

Are you betting for fun or profit?

It sounds like a small thing to decide. Maybe it is.

But for lots of people it’ll determine how much time and effort you spend learning about sports betting. It’ll determine how serious you are about bankroll management. It’ll determine whether or not you make a consistent profit in the long run.

Maybe it doesn’t seem so small after all?

Don’t rush it

One way to lighten your wallet fast is to approach sports betting as a get rich quick scheme.

There’s no such thing, sports betting or otherwise. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The problem with this approach is it often leads people to get greedy. They buy picks. They spend loads of money on tools or other worthless things. They chase losses.

Worse yet – they spend money they don’t have.

If you need a steady income, like yesterday, do yourself a favor and get a job. Don’t look at sports betting as your (fast) path to riches.

Study the sports

Be prepared to do some research.

Proper sports betting takes lots of data. If you don’t already have that from years of betting, you’ll need to research it.

You’ll want to look for trends, scores, and data that might be specific to certain players, coaches, situations, locations, and loads more.

On top of that you’ll want current info too. That requires research.

All of this is needed to make really informed bets. Only followed by…

Shop for the best odds

Getting a good price.

This is common sense (I hope), but one thing you should have is an account at multiple betting sites so you can be sure to always get the best price. It might not seem like much to spend an extra 5 or 10 cents (or more, obviously), but it adds up over time. Spending a little extra money unnecessarily can ding your win-rate.

Detach yourself from the money

View your money as a tool.

When you view your money as a tool you look at wins and losses differently. You’re not keen to chase losses (which usually results in bigger losses anyway). Money is simply a way to make MORE money.

Don’t drink and bet

Bet sober.

Another common sense tip. But you shouldn’t bet while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Trust me, you’ll make plenty of dumb mistakes sober. There’s no reason to make things harder on yourself.
