The betting craze that has hit the country is here
to stay. Accept it you church leaders and social moralists. There are some
people who make a living from sports gambling; and it’s not the betting
companies. It’s those who place bet wisely. Here's what they say;
Don’t be too greedy
There’s no way a bet of ksh. 50 can return you 50,000. In case
it happens it’s by sheer luck. The more teams you place on a multi-bet the more
you decrease your chances of losing. The secret is place a maximum of three
teams, and more money to ensure a greater return.
Don’t attach emotions
Just because you hate Man Utd doesn’t mean it will lose every
time it plays. In this case though when you lose your money on a team you hate doesn’t
make things any better.
Stake the amount you are willing to lose
Betting is a risk. The best teams you select won’t always be
at their best. It often seems like something conspires against your money that
you must lose it. As a rule stake the amount you are willing to lose even if
the team has been a 50 game winning streak. Don’t stake your rent or fees. The last
thing we want to hear of a dead you, hanging on a rope at the graduation pavilion.
Go for unpopular markets
There are many markets to stake your money on. Don’t rely on
the leading European leagues. They have a tendency of failing you when you don’t
expect. Look at Bayern Munich, lately. Go for amateur leagues in German and
even England. They have good odds and often times they score a lot of goals. Go
for ice hockey. But do your research first before you venture into these
markets.
Don’t ever bet the intention of recovering your money
If you depend on this mantra you always be on betting for
the same reason. This notion erodes rationality.
Sports gambling is not a job
Nature has it that people must work hard. The only person who
worked hard is the owner of the gambling company. And they are always generous;
they warn you to bet responsibly. Few make it big, it could be you but the probability
is near zero. Get a job, make gambling a hobby.
