- 1). Choose your website. Look for a reputable website with clear rules and procedures. Also, make sure contact information is given in case you need to contact the company via phone. See the Resources section for trustworthy online sports betting websites.
- 2). Bet on games you are passionate about. Put your money down on games you've been waiting all season to see to keep gambling exciting. You'll also be more knowledgeable on the teams, giving you a better shot at keeping your money or even making profit.
- 3). Manage your money. If you're loosing time and time again, you should probably restrain yourself a bit. Everyone has to lose once in a while, but if you're on a losing streak, you can at least place smaller bets so you don't break the bank. Bet less in losing streaks, and bet more in winning streaks.
- 4). Learn the game. It would be foolish to go out and throw money away if you don't understand the rules of gambling. Each sport has different rules and different bets that can be made. See the Resources section for more information on the rules of sports betting.
- 5). Take notes. Your homework is to keep track of your teams and bets. Study your notes for future betting reference. Pay attention to how often you are winning verse losing.
- 6). Ignore folk wisdom. There are many superstitions in sports betting. Just because a home underdog team is more fresh and has a higher payout doesn't mean you should never bet against them. Go with your gut feelings. If you think Team A is a better team, but Team B has home court advantage, by all means bet on who you think will actually win.
