Sports Staying disciplined and keeping it simple

[bienamie]

Gambling can be tempting at times and most players choose to make complicated wagers in an attempt to win big. I think it is even better to stick to simple bets as you build on your experience. Again, it is advisable to bet with money that you will be comfortable losing. Do you agree? I'd like to hear your views.

When I was starting out on sports betting, I had this great desire to win big and this often led me to making rash decisions and losing huge amounts of money. I relate to the idea of being disciplined since I was forced to take a break from the game so as to re-look my strategies. It is not easy to remain disciplined at first but along the way, a good player realizes its importance.

You definitely have to be sure to play with money you are willing to lose. Betting the mortgage can have some big consequences. The draw to the "big win" can be very attractive, but I've always felt that playing smart is the best philosophy.

You will actually be surprised that there are people who will not care to think twice about betting the mortgage. Playing smart is important and I think players have to be steady and thoughtful when starting out in gambling. It cannot get simpler than this.

This is the key to making successful sports bets. Odds are there for a reason and the glamor bets fail the vast majority of the time. Just try to win at first, then try to work on improving your winning margins, but regardless of what you hear there is no way to win big regularly without having inside information.

Hi Puntz, I did not quite understand this last part. It is easy for beginners to think that betting on sports is easy and so they will go on making all sorts of crazy bets and feeling disappointed along the way. You have to develop your game and steadily build on the experience therein.
