More sports betting tipsPosted by Ron Hays on January 17th, 2025 ![]() Let's start this guide for advanced sports betting with the fact that there are many methods, bets and systems of play, but players can be divided into two types: "players - winners" and "players - losers". The difference between them is that winners can accept occasional losses and this can even make them stronger. See here part one of our sports betting guide. Elements and factors that determine victory Mental factors "Winners" have a positive approach even when they lose. They understand that negative emotions, the desire to recover money and playing at all costs cannot be a priority. You can deposit any currency you want, even in some cases - crypto currency (such as Bitcoin). But most often bookmakers use the US dollar as a betting currency. However, “losers” are nervous and impatient, they have a hard time accepting their losses, and when they lose, they cannot restrain themselves and immediately take the next risk, betting more and losing two or three times more than they invested at the beginning. They bet on events that they have not analyzed in advance (this is especially true for online players). In my opinion, this is a psychological factor. Every player must find a way to control themselves, because without this skill they play blindly, and this leads to constant losses. Indispensable character traits “Winners” can be patient. They wait for the opportunity and act consistently, in accordance with their system or scheme. “Losers” do not know how or cannot observe discipline. Systems and methods of play They are of fundamental importance for any type of bet: if you play “at random”, without a system and without understanding your actions and goals, the results will be bad. Each player must determine the amount of money that he will invest, as well as the method of investing it. This should not be done randomly or, even worse, spontaneously. No one forces you to play every day. If you do, it is only because of your conviction in the bets you have made. It is a mistake to play according to different systems. The main rule is to understand and find a system that suits your goal. This system should be perfectly tailored to the amounts you want to invest in bets. People who cannot control themselves will never win. To dispel doubts - there is luck, but in the long run it is impossible to move forward without a drawn route. It is like sailing at night when you do not know where you are going. Risk control Anyone who decides to play for money must first go through a trial period during which they will have the opportunity to test their skills. The “winner” is able to accept any loss. Obviously, it is impossible for a person to be happy when he loses, but if the information received is detailed and accurate, then the player wins, not the bookmaker. While the “loser” cannot understand his losses and at the same time bets again, non-stop, deluding himself that he will get back the lost money. Multiple bets Try not to place bets with more than two events in one slip. The principle is simple – there is no point in complicating our lives by taking unnecessary risks. Progressive system Do not be fooled by the progressive system, which is based on increasing the amount. This type of betting requires a high degree of self-control and in practice it is very difficult for players to maintain this for a long period of time. As a result of numerous losses, there is a risk of “panic” and at the same time falling into the bookmakers’ trap. Budget management It is necessary to invest part of your savings in the game. Choose such an amount that even a series of losses cannot lead you to bankruptcy. It all depends on the tips you use. If possible, you should analyze their history to calculate a safe amount for a single bet. A general rule of thumb is to bet no more than 1-3% of your budget on a single bet. Remember that larger amounts can help you win more without having to take a big risk by betting on events with high odds. The ratio of your betting budget to your savings is an important factor because the bookmaker has no insight into it, compared to other factors such as odds or team news. Therefore, proper budget management is the key to long-term victory. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
