It's a given, Sports Player. The act of betting on the outcome of Football games, is a most fascinating form of recreation, that definitely enhances one's day-to-day existence.
Keep in mind, that to have a seriousl expectaion of a profitable season, nothing less than a logical approach to your betting will be good enough. With that having been said, I've listed some personal guidlines, that have to be considered an absolute must.
1) The concept behind winning, is to gather and analyze as much informmation as you can about a game. Look at the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently apply your opinion vs the line.
*2) Luck, will no doubt, be a deciding factor in the outcome of some of the games, but it will balance out in the long run. The sooner that you accept that fact, the better off you will be.
3) When you bet on a streaking team, you can win many times, and only lose once. Trying to guess when a streak will end, is not good, as you can lose many times and win only once.
4) You'll need to manage your bankroll. The principal, is to reuduce your bet size when losing, and to increase it when winning. You've heard it before: "Minimize your risk of loss, maximize your gains."
5) If you're doing your own handicapping, there can be no guesswork, no shortcuts. Work with only the most reliable information, using multiple sets of numbers, and make winning weeks the primary goal.
