Making money online with online sports betting is a perfectly achievable target for anyone. In this particular article, I want to show you what separates the men (profitable) from the boys (losers) in terms of sports betting.

Bet On the You Know

Although you will discover exceptions (see below), you should only bet about what you know.

There are many losers who bet on a sport given that they get a « feeling ». They do not possess any logic or analysis or knowledge that they normally use to make their betting decisions. Not simply that, but many of these guys will think emotionally and then invent a pseudo-scientific logic to justify their actions.

Simply, these guys lose time and time again – and they even contrive their own false logic to describe to themselves which it was « lady luck » and keep their egos intact!

Tipping Services

If you want to make money but do not yet know enough about a specific sport or maybe sports in general then you might want to check out tipping services, otherwise known as « picks ».

The problem with tipping services is the fact that this world is a veritable minefield. It can be quite challenging to separate the excellent from the bad and the ugly.

Generally, paid services are better than free services. Not necessarily, but in general. Secondly, only join a service if you can cancel with zero of very little notice. Don’t go with a service that locks you in for six months. Thirdly, consider statistics that prove the long term yield of a tipping service. In the event the yield is negative then obviously avoid it – ideally you want a yield of about 15% minimum.

Sports Betting Systems

Any pro-gambler who produces picks that are consistent winners will either know a whole lot about his sport or, reviews over at Experiment more likely, he will also be using his own system.

But why pay a monthly fee for picks when you could buy a system instead and decide your own bets? The additional advantage is the fact that you will learn a great deal about what you are betting on – it is always preferable to understand your bets rather than simply bet « blind ».

Most systems are simply a group of conditions and rules that you need to look for as a way to identify a betting opportunity. Then you should follow a prescribed staking plan, as described through the system.
