How have you been doing this season with your bets?
You probably picked some bets you think would end up increasing your bankroll - but, despite all your great predictions, I suspect that you still ended up losing money over the season?
Just how did that happen? Usually it happens because you take bets when you didn't fully understand the situation or what you were betting on. Here are some good rules to help you turn good predicting into good business.
RULE 1: NEVER BET WHAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.
This is the simplest rule to understand, but the hardest rule to stick by for most punters. Every punter who has hit a winning streak or a losing streak has fallen into the trap and gambled away money they couldn't afford to lose. DON'T DO IT !!
It is very easy to fall into the trap because when you are winning, there is the temptation to increase stakes in order to make a bulk at once. On the other hand, you think you can always get back your losses by doubling your stake. DON'T DO IT !!
It is the gambler's curse. It will surely lead to disaster in the long-term and a lot quicker than you they anticipate. The safest way to get as much enjoyment out of the betting experience is to work out how much money you can afford to lose before you start. Betting big when you are losing is a sure-fire way to lose your rent, food money for the week. DON'T DO IT !!
I'll be back tommorrow with more valuable tips.
Enjoy!
