Following Up On The Previous Post...

Just to do a little bit of follow-up on the previous post - Caution! Don't Overlook The Handicap/Spread, I forgot to mention about how the switch from the sports fan mentality can accelerate your betting profit.

When I first started betting on sports, I chose to concentrate fully on the Asian Handicap aspect of soccer betting given that I am a huge fan. I lost close to 80% of my bets because I simply got stuck in the cycle of pre-determining results according to my knowledge of the game. Once I made the change in my mentality, I immediately minimized my losses by 20-30%, and of course from there it is easy to start making the jump to profits. However, I think it took me something like 3-4 years to actually put my sports fan mentality behind me because just when you thought you've gotten rid of it, it creeps back into your mind and you don't realize what you've done wrong until the losses stack up again.

In contrast my foray into NBA betting was a much smoother path, particularly because I don't follow the sport very intensively. Therefore, when I first started betting on NBA I discovered that while I don't know as much about the game, I also didn't lose as significantly. Once I manage to keep the percentage of losses low, it's all pretty easy after that because I am already conditioned properly in my mind, and like I've mentioned before from then on you just need to find a few winning systemsto really profit big.
