Mistake #1. Action Overload
Listen, too much action is the worst mistake sports bettors can make. Fact is, you want to hedge the odds against you, not increase them!
The key to success is exploiting value in the odds, more specifically, getting your money in with only the odds worth betting!
Mistake #2. A Feeling
The most common mistake made by recreational sports bettors is betting on a “feeling” or “following their “gut”. While this strategy might work short term, remember, numbers never lie!
For long term success in sports betting it’s CRITICAL you analyze the numbers. The secret now and forever is getting your hard earned money in with the best odds worth betting.
Mistake #3. Doing it yourself
Truth be told, unless you have hours upon hours each day to keep up with teams, stats, trends, etc. then it’s virtually impossible to keep up and to gain a competitive edge – much less to exploit the odds for a profit.
Think of it like this… When you deal in stocks and funds who do you see? A stock broker. When you deal with a mortgage who do you deal with? A mortgage broker.
You go to these people because you trust them…
They’re trained… they’re experts!
You seek the expert opinion of professionals for important financial matters, right? Why treat sports any different? If you’re going to risk your hard earned money on the NBA or the MLB, then get professional advice from a sports handicapper!
Mistake #4. All the wrong reasons
No doubt, watching a game on television brings you much closer to the action. I admit it can be fun, exciting and thrilling to watch. But putting your hard earned money on the line just because a game’s on television is a bad idea – you’re betting for the wrong reasons! Do yourself and your bankroll a favor. Focus on match-ups that only offer odds worth betting… keep recreational bets – just that…. recreational!
Mistake #5. Betting on “your” team
For many, it’s a guilty pleasure to bet your favorite team or your home team! Never… Never… NEVER… put your hard earned money down without odds worth betting. If you find yourself doing this often then chalk it up – admit it. You’re a recreational bettor 🙂
Mistake #6. Bankroll management
Bankroll management never sounds sexy. Typically, the topic of bankroll management is a reality check. But at the end of the day the difference between long term success and short term success is bankroll management. You see, “7” and I only advise our clients to risk 1-4% of your bankroll per bet. As your bankroll grows so does the amount per bet.
Ok, that’s enough for now…
Talk soon and good luck,
James Jones
