Betting strategies

One of the most unpredictable events in football which can turn the tide for an entire season is when a player gets injured.  Some players are injury-prone, but it can happen to anyone, and it is pretty much a given that every team is going to have to deal with injuries at some point or other during the course of the season.  How serious those injuries are and who they happen to are both factors that can magnify the effect of the injury. 

When a player is injured, ask yourself the following:

If you are not already familiar with a futures bet or outright bet, it is a type of wager you make far in advance of an event.  Often it means predicting the outcome of a season at the start of the season or before the season even begins.  For example, an NFL bet would entail guessing who will win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season. An a UEFA Champions League bet would be on who will lift the precious trophy.

Whether you are thinking of placing a pre-season outright (also know as a futures bet) or you just want to get in on the action early, it can be difficult to place smart wagers early on in the season for any sport.  There are a number of challenges you face that tend to be elevated at the start.  Awareness of these challenges can help you to overcome them.

In a recent post about how often should you bet, I delved into the question of whether it is more important to have a higher win percentage or to take more bets.  Basically, it is up to you to do the math, but it can be beneficial to take more bets even with a lower win percentage in some cases.  The specifics depend on your situation, but you may very well discover that this is the case for you too.  Taking too much of a hit to your win percentage will just land you in the red.

Recently I posted about how much you should wager on your bets, and explained why it is best to try to wager only a small percentage of your overall account at any one time, around 3%.  But this brings up another question you probably have as a beginner, and may even have if you have been betting on sports for a while.  Should you always bet exactly 3%?  Or should you occasionally bet more or less?

Just starting out as a sports bettor, you may be at a loss as to how much it is typical to wager on a given bet.  Do you think in terms of pounds or percents?  Is there a certain minimum amount you need to wager?  Where should you set the maximum ceiling?

“75% win percentage guaranteed!”  “Win 90% of the time with our foolproof locks!”  “You can’t miss this amazing deal!” 

When you go to place a bet, how do you evaluate the value of the point spreads that your online betting site is offering you?  Do you grab the schedule, check the point spreads, and try to decide which bet makes the most sense based on how many points you see?  Or do you pick the schedule up, come up with your own numbers first, and then compare them in search of the best value?

Are you looking for horse racing systems which you could use to bet on horse racing festivals or events later in the year?  If so, you will discover there are dozens of free horse racing systems available online.
