Professional Betting ...The Three Golden Rules

1.   Set Aside A Betting Bank

Before you begin, set aside  a sum of money you can comfortably afford to loose in a worst case scenario. Dependent upon your circumstances this could be £100 or £10,000.

Ideally open up a separate interest bearing bank account with switch or delta facilities.

Keep this money aside from the money you need for everyday living. Never risk money you need for rent , mortgage repayments or to put food on the table for your family no matter how certain you are of a bet.

2.   Proof Your Selections

Before you place a bet, test and proof the system or tipster you are going to use to make your selections. By proofing I mean follow it on paper. Do not use real money at this stage.

By testing and proofing you achieve two things. Firstly you can identify if the method will generate profits. This saves loosing money from your betting bank on tipsters or systems that promise a lot but can not deliver.

Secondly by proofing a profitable strategy you will have the confidence to know that it is indeed profitable over the long term. When you hit a bad patch of several losers in a row you will have the confidence to know what you are doing is right and not worry about a statistical blip of bad results.

3.   Be Disciplined

The true professional knows that in order to make long term profits out of betting he must only bet when the odds are in his favor. This may mean several days or even a week without a bet. Very often the best bet on the cards is to keep your money in your pocket!

Mug punters on the other hand will spend days on end in the betting shop rashly betting on any thing that moves. A sure way to financial ruin.

To fully maximise your profits you should stop any hunch or thrill seeking bets. Over the course of a year all these little amounts add up. Remember that the average punter bets with his heart...the professional bets with his head!  Be disciplined and you will be rewarded.
