If you really know the entire English football league you can bet with more than 50% accuracy. Per average you win something like 1,5 X the money you put forth meaning you get as much money as if 75% of you bets were true and it was just money back (1/1). Out forth a small amount of money for every match and you can make decent money from betting. It's mostly about luck if you want to win a large sum though. | ||

In all honesty, you can have just as much control over profiting with sports as you do with poker. You just need to have all of the correct information in order for you to have "control" over the outcome. | ||

I hattttteeee betting the 1x2 lines. As for American sports football you have to know where the money is going and where the smart money is in order to do well. Basketball you have to pick games by looking a the traps for teams. Baseball is all about pitchers. I love betting hockey but haven't done it in a long time.

You just need to have all of the correct information in order for you to have "control" over the outcome. hmm. For some reason i realy doubt that analysis helps thats much, when things go wrong and teams concede goals at like 92-93mins when game is like over, thats just bad luck and doesnt matter how much analysis you did, nothing will help I started to like basketball 1st half time bet(wich team will win 1st half) but then again, things can go wrong and lebron can miss 10 shots in a row and you will lose lol. And IMO under/over bet is probably the best one with a little information how much each team scores and concedes, you can select like 5 bets with <3.5 and win nice money | ||

I realy need advice what bets to make, wich ones is easiest to win? Oh my God. Is English your first language? Regardless, you have no excuse for typing that way. Why don't you play sports, get good at them, and then bet on yourself? Or if you're too lazy, this is apparently a big and safe place to go: http://www.sportsbook.com/ | ||

In the long runs things should go exactly like things should go and then you'll have won 60% of your wagers instead of the random 50% from flipping coins. This is exactly how people profit at poker as well, the very best players can have long losing streaks vs absolutely awful people, the chances of losing money are however less than gaining and hence you can estimate profits even if it doesn't always come to fruition. Lebron may miss his 10 shots but if you're betting he hits more than half and he on average say hit's 75% of them or whatever it's obviously a good bet, as long as you can afford it. | ||
