1) Keep
it entertaining and fun to do, while playing intelligently,
and the small
house advantage in the game of your choice will be a small price
for you
to pay for that entertainment.
2) Give yourself a limit
in time and money spent for this entertainment, treating it
as
any other recreational sport. You wouldn't agonize through three
double head
days of baseball back to back, or a marathon viewing session
of three, four or five hockey games in one night, so don't over
do this form of sport either.
Making Your
Money Count For Football Bets
Gamblers or prospective gamblers beware!
Most gambling hype you read, see, or hear in regard to betting
sports is misinformed, erroneous or simply designed to take
your money before you even place a bet. In order to be successful
sports bettor, you have to have skills in money management,
play selection, a good attitude, and reasonable expectations
as to what you can expect to win if you are successful. Let
me give you a method of money management as an eye opener:
|
Size of Bet
|
Minimum Bankroll
|
|
|
|
| $20 - $30
per game |
$1,000 - $2,000 |
| $40 - $50
per game |
$2,000 - $3,000 |
| $100 per game |
$5,000 |
| $500 per game |
$25,000 |
Most players start the season with
absolutely no clue as to how much capital it takes to withstand
the ups and downs of a typical football season. You should give
yourself enough money to have a chance all year.Sports betting
is nearly always full of streaks.
Even with great handicapping, you’re still going tolose 40 percent
of your bets, so be prepared. You've got a bankroll, so what’s
next? Divide it up as follows:
| Bankroll |
Average
Bet |
College |
Pro |
Reserve |
| |
|
|
|
|
| $1,000 |
-$25 |
$400 |
$400 |
$200 |
| $2,000 |
-$50 |
$800 |
$800 |
$400 |
| $5,000 |
-$100 |
$2,000 |
$2,000 |
$1,000 |
| $25,000 |
-$500 |
$10,000 |
$10,000 |
$5,000 |
Here is the important part. Never risk
more than 25 percent to 30 percent of your bankroll on any week.
In other words, if you like 5 pro games you will bet 6 percent
of our bankroll on each game. On the best plays you will bet
8 percent and maybe
2 to 3 times a year you will find a game that’s worth 10 percent
of your bankroll.
If you love a lotta action, simply drop your bet size (2 percent
to 3 percent), but never risk more than 33 percent of your bankroll
in one day. If you win one week, your bankroll is larger so
you’ll automatically increase your bets as you win and conversely
decrease your bets as you lose. The purpose of the reserve is
to recapitalize one of your
bankrolls if the season starts out cold and you hit an early
losing streak. In a typical year you should be cautious weeks
1 – 4, be bold weeks 5 – 12, and then revert to caution until
the play-offs and bowl games.
This is a simple money
management scheme and we’ll coach you on taking profits or when
to use your reserve as the season progresses. There are more
sophisticated methods of money management available, but for
most people this method should work just fine. We will keep
track of our hypothetical bankrolls using this method.
This should give you a start in the right direction. As the
year progresses we will discuss how a football season is really
4 seasons, each of which must be bet differently. We'll discuss
the importance of the line or point spread and which line moves
are significant and which aren’t, as well as recap for you weekly
where the syndicate (Gambling Syndicate) money was placed as
well as how the sports books themselves actually fared. We trust
you will find reading us enjoyable and informative and look
forward to the season.
