We have already said in our basic sports betting tips that betting on a sporting event has to be primarily about having fun. And that fun lies in placing your bets on events specific to your favourite sport.
Our recommendation is that take advantage of your taste and knowledge to make your predictionsThis will minimise the negative results of your forecasts.
Choice of sport
Choose the sport you like the most and dedicate yourself to watching as many events as you can about it. You might like football, basketball, tennis, rugby, American sports... We can't help you with this choice, just choose what you like and in addition to earning money you will have a good time watching your favourite teams.
Specialisation within the chosen sport
No matter how much you know about football or basketball don't bet on leagues you don't know about in depth. This is a common bad practice in the world of sports betting that greatly benefits bookmakers and often leads to losses. It is better to focus on events that you watch regularly, so that you gain a deeper understanding of those leagues and can make better predictions. It is also important that you rule out leagues that are not properly professionalised, leagues that you are wary of, where totally unexpected results are more likely to happen; every now and then we can see some team in lower competitions being accused of manipulating matches in order to benefit from a very lucrative bet.
Finally, be careful with individual sports as well. We assume that you remember some cases of accused tennis players of profiting from match-fixing sports betting.
Knowledge
Take every opportunity to read sports press articles about your favourite sport. If you have trouble finding printed press, just browse the internet to find everything you need.
There are a multitude of websites dedicated to developing player statistics and teams you are interested in. On the other hand, you can also find other websites with breaking news that may affect the outcome of the event. Review, as we said, the form, winning or losing streaks... Follow your favourite athletes on social networks, you can discover some aspects of their life that may affect their performance later on.
Play against bookmakers
You should be aware that you may have more knowledge of a particular league than a bookmaker. They don't have all the knowledge of what happens before a certain sporting event; and if they do, they may know the news a few hours after you do. In this way you can anticipate the possible change in odds when the bookmaker gets the news. A clear example of this could be a sporting event taking place in the city where you live. If something happens that could affect the performance of the home team, you will have first-hand information and can act accordingly.
Conclusion
In today's article we have seen that the best way to make money through sports betting is specialisation on one of the sports you are really passionate about. This way, as well as having a higher success rate, you can have fun while watching the events you have placed your bets on.
Our advice is to stop betting on anything you don't know and don't enjoy, so what are you waiting for? Specialise, have fun and make a profit. As always you can leave your comments with your opinion on this article. Greetings and... let's win!
