No football today, a quiet week blog wise with not much happening, Crouch getting two was a surprise not showed any form for Spurs recently yet looks like he has booked his seat on the World Cup plane, I didn’t see the goals but apparently he took them quite well. I have added a few pages to the guide to buying gambling systems and scam tactics manual. Those who already have the original manual will be emailed the link for the update, the updated pages are at the end of the manual. If you do not have it enter your email at the top of this page and you will get taken to the download page where you will get the original manual with the update included. The manual contains details of why we buy these systems and the tactics used to get you to buy. The marketing is often slick and this guide will definitely help you from buying rubbish.
Last week I made a post about odds and understanding the bets you place. Today I want to add some further betting information and that is staking. I never tell anyone what to bet on anything, it has to be your decision, it is no use if I do not know your home circumstances to tell you what to stake and all gamblers should learn not to bet with money they don’t have. That said if you are an active gambler a lot of the mail I receive particularly after losses is distress calls, “I think I am betting too big” or “I had too much on”. This is a common mistake and one that very gambler falls into at some time. It is quite easy to fall into the trap of perhaps winning a few bets so increasing your stakes too rapidly and the a losing bet wipes out a fortune. Another common misconception is that if people see something makes 5 or 6 points profit a week they dive in with big stakes just to hit the losing week. Gambling involves regular losses, the key to winning is to win more units than you lose over the long term (becoming my favourite saying).
Staking has to be at a level you can afford, that will grow your bank steadily and most importantly a level you can cope with emotionally. I generally bet my football selections to £1000, and am asked why I do not bet more. Firstly and most importantly, I am comfortable at that level and have a rough idea of the income it will produce. Secondly if I need to trade out of a bet, that level allows me to without any issues, betting more would mean I would have to trade out of a tight situation for more and the money may not be available to do so on Betfair so the whole thing falls apart.
That comfort level is vital to success, my bank grew steadily year on year, there is no such thing as instant success and anyone who claims it is lying. My wife started punting a few weeks ago and was laying a few horses as part of her activity. She went to lay one horse the other day at £30. She looked about an hour before the race and it was 5.2 giving her a liability of £126. When she went to place her bet a few minutes before the off it was 8.4, she entered her stake and the liability of £222 showed up in the Betfair box. She looked at me and said, “I am risking £222 to win £30, I don’t like that”, I asked her what she didn’t like about it and the reply was that she did not feel happy risking so much, I said “Don’t place the bet then”. The horse lost and as it happens she would have won so I then got stick because she did not place the bet. I explained to her that the result is irrelevant, she has to be comfortable placing the bet because if she is not and it does go the wrong way that will affect future betting either that day or the next day. I told her she has to be consistent and stick to it. Winning at gambling is simply that, being consistent and to do that you have to be comfortable with the inevitable losses that you will encounter along the way.
As your stakes increase you have to accept that you expose more liability whatever bets you are going to make and if that bothers you do not bet at that level as it will, whether you admit it or not affect you somewhere down the line. By slowly and gradually increasing your stakes as your bank grows your mindset will improve and remember we are then betting with winnings. Long term is the only way to bet and to have set goals that you aim for but may not always reach, they have to be realistic, any attempt to win big quickly will end in almost certain disaster.
