8 principles of a successful player

They watch a TV program, see a favorite play with an outsider there, and rush headlong to the computer in order to have time to place a bet. This approach to betting is difficult to succeed.

In order to become a successful sports bettor, you need to follow some basic rules that professional bettors have long developed. We will tell you more about them.

1. If it’s a pity to lose money, then it’s unnecessary to bet on it

If your monthly income is 20 thousand rubles, then 5 thousand rubles will be too much for entertainment. Determine the amount that you do not mind losing and which will not affect your budget.

2. Decide what you are playing for

If you play for fun, you can sometimes relax in front of the TV with a beer, betting on your favorite team. But if your goal is a systematic increase in capital, then the approach to the game should be completely different.

3. Learn to calmly accept defeat

Even if you have reached a high level of professionalism, defeat will be inevitable. Someday you will come across a black bar that will easily “eat” 20-30% of your bank’s funds. At such moments, you need not to succumb to emotions, but to think soberly. Behind the black stripe there will definitely be a light one, where you can not only return the lost money, but also exaggerate it.

4. Don’t win back

Again, back to emotions. Many players, even after a slight loss, cannot find a place for themselves and try to recoup as soon as possible. This is one of the main reasons for defeats in bookmaking companies. In such a state, it is impossible to adequately assess the strength of the teams and make a correct pre-match forecast. We advise in such situations to postpone betting until you are completely moving away from defeat.

5. Focus your efforts on one tournament

Ideally, it is better to know the form of the teams and players of one tournament than to understand a little bit in dozens of leagues. Study well one league and bet only within it. Even if you spend months on this, and your bets will be only on weekends, but you will perfectly know all the hands that can happen in the game.

6. Don’t bet on popular events

For those games that are widely covered by the press and television, bookmakers give low odds. In any case, players will bet crazy money on them, so it makes no sense for bookmakers to set too generous odds.

7. Test new game strategies

The situation in betting is constantly changing. If some strategies are able to bring money now, this does not mean that they will bring them in a few years. Bookmakers are constantly looking for “holes” in their lines and fixing them. Therefore, one should always experiment with various new strategies. Open a separate account for the minimum amount in any of the offices or just put it “on paper” and you can check strategies without losing real money.

8. Don’t bet multiples

How many players have already burned out on express trains, but at the same time, the majority continues to collect them in wagons every day. Of course, it is much more pleasant to win at odds of 15 than at odds of 1.8, but this is a fleeting pleasure. At the long stage of the game, it is impossible to win by betting on accumulator bets. If the standard margin of offices is within 2-10%, then by collecting express bets you can increase it up to 40%. Think for yourself, is it possible to win against a bookmaker in such hands?

Sports betting can bring both satisfaction from your victories and bitterness from defeats. You need to believe in yourself, but at the same time reinforce this belief with real actions. Constantly improve, use various game strategies, communicate with other players, read articles on this topic. Remember that success in sports betting, like in any business, cannot come immediately, for this you need to get up from the couch and start acting!
