In order to be a good gambler, you need to learn how to recognize value in your betting activities. If you don’t understand value in betting, you should walk away because this is not a game for you. To understand value, you need to understand the concept of odds. You might be 100% sure that a certain event is going to happen the way you think it will, but if the odds aren’t matching up, then there is no reason to make the bet at all. Betting on an event that is very likely to happen, but has very poor odds is the same as buying an overpriced flat-screen TV set just because you really wanted it. You end up spending too much money and getting very little value for your money.
It is very common to hear people talking of how it is impossible for a given team to lose a given much, but winning is simply not enough. You need to weigh between the probability of the event happening and the odds involved. As a rule of thumb, odds should always trump probability of something happening.
Let us look at some of the ways that you can improve your betting for long term success.
Understand how the bookmakers make the odds
Bookmakers are just human beings like you and I and you will be very surprised to learn how they determine their odds. In general, bookmakers play with the psychology of the average person by setting the odds of various events based on what they think or expect the public to play. This is opposed to setting odds based on actual probabilities like most people usually think. The odds are a reflection of the general expectation of the public.
The odds are set in a manner that attracts the public to bet on the side of the bookmaker’s side of the odds. This helps to balance liability and allow the bookmaker to make their commission.
If you are a seasoned gambler who doesn’t get swayed by what the public thinks, then you can make some real money in cases where the public’s opinion is plain wrong. The same also happens in cases where an event has the attention of casual or occasional gamblers. These gamblers know next to nothing in terms of gambling strategy.
Possess the ability to fall in love with the ugly duck
Another good strategy to improve your betting success is to develop the ability to fall in love with the ugly duck. By ugly dark I mean the team that no one seems to like. If a team looks ugly on paper, that is the team you should make a habit of liking. This might sound counterintuitive, but that is not necessarily true because like we’ve seen above, the more a team is disliked by the public, the higher its value. Bookmakers always focus on the public’s opinion.
Don’t dwell on the past or celebrate for too long
The game of betting will allow you to make a huge killing every now and then if you play consistently. If that happens, do not spend too much time dwelling on your most recent or past winnings. Instead, make a plan to start focusing on your next win.
