dave's gambling 10 commandments

I see quite a few cappers here make key mistakes that lead to their down falls. I'm not going to go deep into the reasons why but here's some sportsbetting tips (All written by me and are JMO) :



1) Location, location, location when buying a property. Research, research, research when betting on sports. If u are too busy in your life to cap games don't bet them.


2) Be selective. 1-4 plays a night is the best way to go anymore and a bad patch could set you right back.


3) Fade public plays.


4) Don't play big favourites. -135 or higher is often too much. If you must, take a 2 team parlay with two big favourites you like.


5) Shop around for the best prices. Have at least a few accounts that offer competitive quotes.


6) Take breaks every so often even if you are on a hot streak. You will feel refreshed when u get back into it.


7) Bet up to but never more than 5-6% of your bankroll.


8) Keep a record on all sports u wager on. Know where u stand on them all long term, so u can focus on your best one's and cut out the one's u are struggling with. By knowing where u stand on all sports sometimes the results can be surprising!


9) If u are in it to make money, do just that every day u bet In other words If u are up on the day and like a later game bet with some not all of your day's profit. If u are down don't bet unless u really like a later game. Tomorrow is a new day.


10) Last but not least....look after yourself keep fit with regular exercise, eat and drink healthy.


Goodluck and happy punting

Golden thoughts Dave!
I specially liked and smiled at #10, because capping and betting (if you really are into it) can be sometimes addictive regarding your day to day things to do... LOL
