Successful Gambling 

Are you a Successful Gambler?

    If you made a note of every bet which you had placed including tax, you would be suprised as to how much you had lost. After all when we lose we claim 'its only a bit of fun', but when we win, 'what a feeling!', its better than working for a living.

    It is very important not to set your sites too high. If you began the financial year with £1000.00 in a bank account and were offered an interest rate of 10% you would accept it wouldn't you? after all a profit of £100.00 isn't bad is it? So why do so many punters try to turn a few pounds into thousands in just 1 week? It doesn't work like that.

The 'Edge'

    The art of success is to guarantee a long term profit. Successful betting on fixed odds football matches is the equivalent of a sound financial investment.

    In order to profit you need to gain an 'edge' over the bookie. 99.9% of amateur punters fail to do this for various reasons. You must have a thorough understanding of betting and a good understanding of both football and statistics.

    The 'edge' is something which we all aim for. The 9% betting tax doesn't help, but it is still possible. It must be remembered that the fixed odds coupons are usually printed well in advance of the matches themselves, and that each bookmaker issues a different coupon with a different set of odds. This combined with the fact that we have access to all kinds of information about the teams and statistics of all kinds gives us, the punter, the advantage.

    Equal importance should be given to how you bet aswell as what you bet on. This is where most gamblers and their 'systems' slip up. You cannot have one without the other.

Do's and Don'ts        

•    Don't place a bet just because you 'fancy having a bet'.
•     Don't waste money on high accumulator bets.
•     Don't persist with losing systems.

•     Do keep a record of All your bets
