Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 11, 2005 -- When you bet online, your ultimate
intention is to kick the man’s ass. You are all about the money and that’s
exactly how it should be. We know it, you know it and the man knows it. And you
shouldn’t think for one second that your bookie will feel sorry for you when
your wife screams at you from the top of her beautiful –amazingly healthy-
lungs, when she finds out that you have lost your mortgage payment on the
Saturday morning game. “C’mon now honey, it was a lock…” Right! Keep your chin
up champ, we got good news.
I used to be the joy of my bookie; heck, I
probably was one of the 3 guys at the top of his Christmas VIP list… but as much
as I used to love getting a big bottle of Crown Royal Special Reserve for the
holiday seasons, they suddenly stopped coming when I realized that I could
follow 5 easy steps to increase my winning percentage. So I did, and I only
realized how good I had been doing, when Fat Tony paid me good-bye and invited
me to not play with him anymore… I then realized success in sports betting comes
after hard work and I started putting it in.
Throughout time, I have
talked to legendary bookmakers who are firmly convinced that nobody, absolutely
nobody can beat the odds in the long run when betting on sports. But in this
time and day, we cannot deny there are sharp players who have definitely learned
to beat the juice and who have become successful sports bettors. “Sports-betting
is all about getting as much valuable information as you can and you need to get
it before everybody else” says M.F. Spankaroo – name has been changed to protect
his identity-, “but it doesn’t matter if you have access to exceptional
information on the games, if you have no discipline when betting you will never
overcome the juice.”
So, how exactly do you overcome the juice? ‘Juice’
is the commission charged by the bookmaker for writing your bets. It usually is
10 cents on the dollar and you need to have a winning percentage greater than
52.37% to overcome it and break even. While in theory you will have at least a
50% winning percentage if you simply flip a coin, it requires a lot of
discipline to achieve such a winning percentage.
As much as I would like
to give you the actual picks to make it all easy for you, I am as sharp as a
marble. But don’t laugh just yet; even a marble can become a bullet if it has
enough momentum. These are the 5 simple steps that you can follow to start
adding momentum to your betting:
Step 1: Bet Safe – You might have the
run of your life and make tens of thousands of dollars over a lucky weekend, but
it does you no good if you’re playing with a scam sportsbook that will only pay
you the day pigs fly. If you want to play online and make sure you will get
paid, then you need to be very selective when it comes to funding an offshore
sportsbook account. We offer good advice on professional and reputable
sportsbooks, check it out: http://www.sportscrew.com/review/review_frontpage.php. That’s
right, bring the bacon home baby!
Step 2: Bet Smart – Why would you lay
4.5 points on your team, if you can only lay 4? Why would you pay more
commission if you can get 30-50% discount prices playing at reduced juice? Why
would you have to settle for whatever odds your one sportsbook wants to shove
down your throat, if you can shop for the absolutely best price in the market?
The answer is simple: you don’t have to.
It’s highly recommendable that
you spread out your betting bankroll among different outfits and make sure you
only play at the absolutely most advantageous prices and odds. You need to start
comparing odds and prices and we got what you need. We have prepared the best

Step 3: Bet
Flat – One of the absolutely most important aspects of acquiring a betting
discipline is to start betting flat. This means you need to stop increasing the
amount of your bets trying to make up for your early losses in the day. This is
called ‘chasing’ and it will kill your bankroll faster than any other mistake
you might make.
From this day on, you need to stop betting emotionally
and start betting rationally. It’s actually very simple. All you need to do is
create a ‘unit’. From this day forward, all your bets will be for the same exact
amount, regardless of how you feel about the game. That ‘unit’ should represent
an amount of money no bigger than 1-2% of your total betting
bankroll.
For example: if you count with $2500 to bet with, this is your
bankroll and your unit should be $50 max. It’s crucial that you make it a
self-imposed rule for you never to bet over your ‘unit’, no matter what happens.
This will help you manage your betting assets in an extremely effective way and
it will help you relate to your own betting patterns in a much clearer
fashion.
Step 4: Bet Straight – This means you will never place a wager
on a betting event involving men’s figure skating… And no, it’s not O.K. to
watch Richard Simmons on the tube. No fruity betting here…
In all
seriousness, this term refers to only making straight wagers. As much as we like
to bet on 8 team parlay cards, the pay-off odds are never true odds… even if
they’re advertised as such. And if you think picking one winner is hard… try
picking 8. In the ongoing battle to overcome the ‘juice’, parlay cards, teasers
and other gimmick bets are your enemies.
And finally, we come to one of
the most time consuming and exhaustive tasks a successful online bettor will
have to conduct:
Step 5: Keep record of all your bets – doing so will
allow you to go back on your betting logs and it will help you identify
successful wagering patterns. It will also help you find your weak spots and the
numbers will throw interesting stats back at you. This is the only real way to
know how successful your betting is over a determined period of time.
