Making money online with online sports betting is a perfectly achievable target for anyone. Within this article, I want to show you what separates the men (profitable) from the boys (losers) in regards to sports betting.

Bet On what You Know

Although there are actually exceptions (see below), you should only bet on what you know.

There are plenty of losers who bet on a sport because they get a “feeling”. They don’t possess any logic or analysis or knowledge that they will use to make their betting decisions. Not simply that, but many of these guys will think emotionally and then invent a pseudo-scientific logic to justify their actions.

Of course, these guys lose time and gambling time again – and they even contrive their own false logic to describe to themselves which it was “lady luck” and keep their egos intact!

Tipping Services

If you want to make money but do not yet know enough about a particular sport or even sports in general then you might want to check out tipping services, otherwise known as “picks”.

The problem with tipping services is that this world is a veritable minefield. It may be quite challenging to separate the excellent from the bad as well as the ugly.

In general, paid services are better than free services. Not absolutely, but in general. Secondly, only join a service if you’re able to cancel with zero of very little notice. Do not go with a service that locks you in for six months. Thirdly, check for statistics that prove the long-term yield of a tipping service. In the event the yield is negative then obviously avoid it – ideally you want a yield of about 15% minimum.

Sports Betting Systems

Any pro-gambler who produces picks that can be consistent winners will either know a whole lot about his sport or, more likely, he will likely be using his own system.

But why pay a monthly fee for picks whenever you could buy a system instead and decide your own bets? The additional advantage is that you will understand a great deal about what you are betting on – it really is always preferable to understand your bets rather than simply bet “blind”.

Most systems are simply a group of conditions and rules that you need to look for as a way to identify a betting opportunity. Then you should follow a prescribed staking plan, as described by the system.
