This series will focus on some lessons I learned the last 15 years as a sports bettor
IF YOU WANT TO WIN...
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LOSE !
If you bet on sports and take a lot of low odds (1.80 or less), chances are pretty high that you are emotionally not willing to lose. Lower odds rarely offer great value and when they do it's always limited.
1,40 odds have a maximum return on investment of +40%
2,40 odds have a maximum return on investment of +140%
The reason so many people love small odds is because they feel a safe winner, but over time they are unlikely to end up with a real edge. Many will believe it has been profitable but chances are high that they don't know their exact betting record...
Betting 2.0+ odds will always come along with a high chance of losing the bet, but this pays over time when you know what your are doing. When you look at professional sports bettors, nearly all are willing to lose and bet higher quotes. It's something I still need to improve upon myself taking higer odds at cost of bigger handicap line.

Very true. The short odds are for mug punters but I still get sucked in every now and then. Nothing feels as good as pulling in a 20-1 shot though. There is often great value at big odds and even though they might not win you can trade for a profit or at least cover your stake if they get close.
and if you want to gamble you do expresses with x100 odds :D
I think that realy good advice on how to bet. I will follow your blog I wish you good luck!
