7 simple things to know before you start football betting

Football betting may be seem like a cheap way to make money for some, for others it is an expensive gamble not worth the risk, whatever the case may be, it works, well, sometimes. In any case before you create your opinion about it, be informed. Here are 7 simple things you must know before you start throwing money in.

• First “Do a little research”. Get informed about what you want to go into, watch a few videos, listen to some experts and learn as much as you can about the terms, statistics and parameters involved in betting. A few terms you may want to check on include handicap, bet,odds, bookmaker, arbitrage bet, ante post betting,back, banker, bettor, to mention but a few. Don’t lose money before you decide to learn.
• Next,“Never bet more money than you can afford to lose”. Yes, if you must bet, first ask yourself “if I lost all this money, would I be able to sleep at night”, then continue to reduce the quantity until you find that number that answers the question with a yes. This means you may need to have a monthly budget that does not impose on your usual budget for the month while not ripping your savings off you. Patience is a virtue you are going to have to learn, whether you like it or not, because the losses are going to come , and you must weather the storm.
• Now you must learn to “select areas of interest”. The fact that you watch football does not mean you will be interested in all football competitions. So you should stick to familiar settings as much as possible and slowly grow from there.
• Another tip for you as a beginner is “don’t be a lone ranger”. There is always someone, a friend, a colleague or even a colleague who is into football betting, it helps for moral support when you have someone to share the experiences with, someone who can really relate.
• Also, please note, “there is no 100% method to successful betting”. Think about it this way, if it were that simple and straight forward we would all be busy making millions, but it is not so the best you can do is “increase your chances” by building an arsenal of knowledge and understanding the game as nothing is sure.In the end, i mean no one really knows the future.
• Remember, “Don’t get greedy”.Ok, this one is really important for when things get good.it may seem obvious but the fact that you won the last five times does not mean you should throw in your life savings, always remember rule number one.
• Lastly, “trust your instincts”. If you already have a lot of familiarity with football, sometimes your  mind calculates based on past events that you cannot consciously remember and nudges you in a direction. The more you trust your instincts the stronger your confidence and you need confidence to bet bigger and win more.
