How to Win Money Betting on Sports (Page 1 of 2)
Does the title of this article grab you in that sensitive place of your heart and mind? Does it touch a nerve down deep attracting you towards the time you will win and win big? There’s probably a nagging sensation in you that wants to know if there is some art or secret to winning money betting on sports. Others do it and, perhaps, you even know some who claim to win big money. There are magazines and books devoted to all types of sports betting. The theme, however, is how to win money betting on sports.
Betting on sports is a different kind of wagering than say, slot machines, or roulette, or even craps. Sports betting are closely kin to poker. Poker is considered gambling by the uninitiated and, of course, it is in that category. But poker is far more sophisticated than merely playing a hand of cards dealt to you and placing a bet on the table. Poker is a discipline all it’s own and so is sports betting. The two endeavors should be considered first cousins of chance.
It is not unusual to see a good poker player also have a certain degree of success with his sports betting. Both require a good deal of thought, observation, research, and courage. You have to be aggressive and bold in both.
There are some who would love to bet on their favorite team, but lack the basic understanding to do it. But with the Internet you can do an amazing amount of research; with Amazon.com you can purchase books online. You can do the kind of research that will start you on the right road to becoming successful. Success in sports betting is always winning more than you lose. Anything less than that is a failure; this is basic stuff.
After learning a few of the basic rules and forming an overall strategy of betting it becomes very tempting to launch out and bet a bundle. Don’t do that; sports betting, like poker is a game of patience and skill. Take time to learn as much as possible. When you get to the point you think you know the drill then make your wagers on paper. Do this for seven events. Be careful because you are not really playing with money-you might take risks on paper you wouldn’t or shouldn’t take when betting your own cash.
When you are doing paper trades you can burn any number of games. There are lots of teams and lots of games. Some bettors fear if they pass up too many good bets while doing the paper trades they will lose money. Games are like taxis in a large city. If you miss one there will be another one by in a few minutes. Be patient.
If I had to establish an unbreakable rule for how to win money betting on sports it would be: “Become a knowledgeable bettor.” That requires research and research and research. There are no short cuts to winning at sports betting. Oh you can plop down a bet here and there and you may even be lucky and win once or twice. But if you bet without doing the basic research you will soon become disillusioned and quit, or you will bet the farm and have to move out. Don’t do that. Play smart. You can win a lot of money if you do this the right way. You can lose a lot if you don’t.
The Probability Game. How To Win The Lottery
Statistics demonstrate to us all a lot of things that can be both beneficial and unusable for a lot of reasons. There’s countless good cases of attention-grabbing truths and statistical analysis which never appear to be particularly applicable to individual’s everyday lifestyles. Do you fully understand, as an example, that in ’85 the standard National Aeronautics and Space Administration numerical probability for a crash to happen to a NASA space shuttle was 100,000 to 1. Following the space shuttle Challenger devastation it was changed to one-hundred to one!
So picture the amazement of people looking on the time when Danny Leake, an amateur golfer, accomplished an unbelievable ‘hole in one’ in the same golf hole 2 days in a row while playing at a golfing event in The Lone Star State. This is something that is so extremely uncommon that the chances of it taking place have never been estimated. Pity such a serendipitous guy did not play the lotto that day instead!
What would you think of a guy who earned a regular working man’s wage but spent most of it on lottery tickets? Well there is a New York man who does just that.Ray Otero foolishly believes that buy ploughing his money into lottery tickets he is increasing his chances of winning a jackpot prize with each purchase (by sheer number of tickets).
Of course what Mr. Otero fails to realise is that statistically you have no better chance of winning the jackpot with 500 tickets than you do with 1 when the numbers on the tickets are chosen randomly!
Statistics can tell us some depressing things. For example, if someone purchases a UK lottery ticket on a Monday, for a weekend draw, they are more likely to be dead when the draw takes place than they are of winning the jackpot prize!
You see unfortunately the odds of winning the jackpot ion such a draw are fourteen million to one while the odds of being dead are much lower. In fact you even have a better chance of becoming a saint because the odds are only killed by lightning are roughly 2650000 to 1!These low odds apply to every ticket you buy. Therefore ray Otero’s approach does not increase his odds of winning a top prize!
Take heart though because you can do certain things that dramatically increase the odds of you winning a huge lottery prize and they don’t require you to spend a fortune doing it! Lottery wheeling, for example, is a great way to increase your chances of winning a top prize on the lottery.
When you wheel and extra number in your pick of 6, so that you pick 7 numbers instead and then “wheel” so that all numbers end up on a ticket together two things happen. Wheeling systems require you to invest more money in the lottery, because you must buy more tickets, but by doing so, and by doing it in a mathematically precise manner, you increase your chances of winning the lottery jackpot.
When you wheel 7 numbers instead of 6 you go from a 14 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery to half a million to 1 – just by adding an extra number and the price of the tickets only adds up to £28!
So, if Mr. Otero had only played a 6 from 49, or similar type of lottery, and wheeled his numbers he may well be a very wealthy man by now.
