Here is a guide to help you and maybe change your approach in sports betting.
1.) If you don't want to lose money, first you need to know what you are doing. Whatever method or strategy you are using - make for example 10 predictions without any money involved. Then if you are profitable with what you are doing you can think about betting with your own money. If you are not profitable, then you need to change it. The point is to always follow the same rules. That way you always just wait for specific setup to occur and only then you will make a bet.
2.) Instead of betting on every sport, choose the one you like the most. Then you can choose only 1 type of bet. So let's say you decide to bet only on draws in football. Now make 10 predictions and see what are the results. If you are not profitable, improve your system or strategy and see next 10 predictions what are the results.
Tip: To get even better odd, let's say you bet on draws....instead of just betting on draw you can bet on "draw and over 1,5 goals"
3.) A lot of bettors are looking for "safe odds" safe matches etc....ask yourself how far did you got with this safe approach. Most bettors are influenced very much with the odd itself. They see the team have low odd so they automatically assume they will win. .And even though they may be a better team the problem with betting low odds is that if you lose you need a lot more wins to be profitable. And if you know sports betting for a while you know there are always some" sure" games that loses etc...Just think about last time all favourites won....
BUT that don't mean you cannot be profitable betting on low odds, you can, the point of this is to think how low odds are influencing your mind and how they play with you. For example you think a Team A will win, then you want to bet on it and you see the odd on then is higher than on Team B. So you don't bet because of this and the they win.
4.) What can maybe work for you is this...go see your previous predictions. What you may discover is that the picks you predicted ended with even higher or better outcome then you thought. So what you may start doing now is to bet higher or better outcome then what is your prediction.
For Example: Instead on adding 3 low odds on 1 ticket to get higher odd. Add each game separately but with higher outcome for better odd. So if you Bet 3 games over 1,5 goals on 1 ticket...now bet the same games separately but over 2,5 goals or over 3.0 goals.
5.) Even if a team is in a good form or they just won some important game and everyone is ready to bet on them in their next game no matter who they play against. Always check how they play with the next team they play against. Every team is different and maybe this team is their weakness or they are struggling with this next team so always check how teams play against each other.
