Out for # 1

It seems that everyone is looking for a quick fix, and end up taking a couple steps backwards. Focus on your foundation and you'll appreciate what you've built from the ground up. For example: I started online gambling for the first time last year with a measley 25 bucks netted a little over 3 grand in 4 months. The first thing to do when betting is keep your home team out of it. Bettors know this team inside out which is why they are more comfortable betting with or against. Do your homework, just watch for the first 2 weeks and write down the picks you would have selected. Compare picks with a buddy. Second tip avoid the spotlight games such as Monday night, Sunday night, Superbowl etc; The reason for this is your options have dwindled and your choosing from 2 lesser evils instead of having a plethora of choices. Gambling has made me paranoid and I have chosen to stay away from the game the public likes too much. For example: Colts vs. Saints I took the Moneyline -200 for 500 bucks and got spanked. Third tip never bet your bankroll on any one game. If your bank is a grand you shouldn't commit over 100 bucks on any game thats what Vegas banks on us getting greedy and cleans Joe Blow out. Slow and steady for a reason. Fourth tip embrace the moneyline not sure on a spread but like a team just to win, then moneyline is for you. Profit is less but so is the risk I suggest this for bettors with larger bankrolls it enables you to risk a larger amount with a little less trepidation of covering a spread instead just taking home teams that Vegas already thought would win. The spread is set for action with the N.F.L. you get conficting messages about a line. For example in these playoffs the trend was home teams not even getting the full three ( -3 ) Meaning the public would choose the home team would cover because they'd only have to win by 3 which is the standard. Subsequently tried to flip it on the public on the Superbowl. Packers -2.5 was what the line closed at hoping the public would bet the Steelers because all the other underdogs won their game straight up against the spread. Vegas sold all but 1% of it's action off to it's conglamorates to save losing the shirt off their backs when all the money came in on Green Bay and the Over 45. I did not place a wager this Super Sunday instead I made my money on the Heat and Clippers game that same afternoon. The key to winning consistently is picking your spots why bet on a game that can go either way on a neutral site with so many unknowns. Put it aside for games you've done your research and spotted some trends.
