Take a Kick at Football Betting
How often on a Saturday afternoon, after all the games have been played, has there been that little niggling voice which said “I thought that team would win” or “I expected it would be a draw” but that’s all they were, remarks to yourself.
If you are interested in the outcome of football games, then perhaps now is the time to think about actually placing a bet what you think may be the result. Unfortunately, that’s not really satisfactory. Although many of us are able to make educated guesses from time to time, in order to increase the odds in the favor of the punter, it’s worth using the services of a firm which provides, for a fee, “reliable” football tips.
There isn’t a footy tipster around who can guarantee to provide the right outcome to every game of football. What they can provide, however, are football predictions which take the results of previous games, and applies them to the next game and the teams which are playing.
There are many different firms which all offer their tipping services. Their prices vary considerably – and it isn’t necessarily the most expensive tipster which gets the best results. There are several routes to finding a football tipster. It is always best, if you are able, to ask friends or work colleagues whom you know like to place a wager, if they can recommend a tipster or tipping service which they have tried out.
The sporting newspapers always have tipsters giving opinions about the results they expect from various sports, and many of them have private betting services which the enthusiastic amateur punter can join. Prices vary from a few pounds each month to services which provide a considerable amount of research and cost around one hundred pounds every month.
It is essential to remember that no matter how expensive or good your chosen footy tipster is you are highly unlikely to become a millionaire after a few favorable results. If you are fortunate, at the end of the year, the wins and losses may have canceled each other out – but you have enjoyed the experience and it adds to the existing interest in the game of football.
Always start with a “betting bank” which is a pot of money from which you place your bets. This can be around one hundred pounds, as long as you only bet around five pounds each time. As the pot increases, hopefully on a fairly regular basis, the amount being placed on the result of a game can be increased. If there is a losing spell, reduce the amount of the bet until you return to the original position.
Whatever the amount of the bet, don’t ever spend more money that you can afford to lose. Don’t let the bet spoil the enjoyment of the game. Betting on the outcome should be something extra, but nothing which creates panic if you find that you’ve forgotten to place the bet. Have some fun with betting on the results of the football, but don’t let it become too important.
