Can sports betting make you homeless? It sure can. Have you ever been to Las Vegas (usually in the downtown area) and seen some of the people who are obviously down on their luck? If you ever have a chance to talk to them you will find that many of them became homeless due to their gambling habits. Of course, we should all have a place in our hearts for them, but we should also learn from others mistakes. Here are a few tips to keep you from losing everything.
Use a Sports Betting Strategy
There is no perfect strategy when you are betting on sporting events, but you can certainly put the odds in your favor. For example: Think about major league baseball. Normally, a team plays 3 games in a row against another team on consecutive days. Statistically, only 10% of the time will one team be able to go 3-0 against the other team in this three game series. What that means is that if "Team A" loses the first game of the series, statistics show that they will come back and win at least one game of the remaining two in the series. The odds are even more in their favor if they're at least evenly matched with their opponent! That is just one simple use of statistics to determine outcomes, imagine if you used many statistical models like that on one game.
Statistics Can Not Be Overstated
Here is the definition of statistics. Statistics is the mathematics of the collection, organization, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. Casinos and major sports books all use statistical models. Casinos and major sports book all employ statisticians to keep the odds in their favor. If they did not work, Las Vegas would be an empty wasteland and the neighborhood bookie you just got this weeks football card from would be driving a used Pinto. You are not being realistic if you think statistical betting does not work.
I Bet You Will Fail Even If You Had a Great System
I say this because if you want to implement a sports betting strategy, you need to be emotionless. Good strategies do not work if you get emotional. My guess is that you, like 99% of everyone else that makes bets will get emotional. If you get emotional, you could find yourself pushing a shopping cart begging for a meal. No one wants to be in that position.
