The world of sports betting is wild, like someone walking for the first time in a jungle. The variety of sports is wide, there are so many different types of bets, bonuses and hundreds of combinations. All these produce great insecurity and quite a sock to new players. Therefore, it is a logical assumption for one to seek help.
Paid tips
There is a large number of new players who believe that sports betting is easy and that they can become rich in no time, just by correctly forecasting the winner of some games. In fact this is totally wrong, since only about 2% of bettors really make a profit in the long term.
This fact makes many bet newbies search for “premium betting services”. The most attractive services in that sector are those offering match tips with big odds in low prices. These are the times when the new player’s heart beats with anxiety as if he has discovered a real treasure. But eventually the dream becomes another illusion since most probably the bets lose and money is lost. Let’s make thinks more clear. There are professionals out there who really do what they offer and sell their hard work. If you can find them and pay for their services, you can eventually see things as a long term investment, but you must follow a strict schedule for at least a year (you’d better forget all about weekly and monthly programs). If you do so, you will eventually end up with a profit, or in the worst case, return of the money you spent to buy the tips.
Uncovering cheaters
There are many ways to discover cheaters, who actually try to trick you into giving them money for nothing. These are usually easy to spot, since they offer stats of their previous bets and offer 80-90% profits easily. In case they claim that they permanently win their bets at 80-90% of the cases, you’d better turn back quickly and never have another word with them. You should be aware that in general, a 10% ROI (Return On Investment) profit is considered very good in the long term, whereas a 10-20% ROI is expected from masterminds of betting. Percentages over 20% are unrealistic, so forget about them.
Another method to uncover cheaters is to take a look at the odds offered. If most of the time they are over 3.00 then you should be almost sure that’s something’s wrong. Furthermore, every professional tipster makes sure that he refunds his customers in case his bets give a negative profit, whereas cheaters just renew your subscription to their service for another period, but certainly mention nothing about money…
Do a search about the fame of each paid tips website and try to avoid those that overstate how good they are. In this category are those who promise sure bets, 100% wins, inside information and fixed games… All these may sound tempting but you must think of them as trash and pay no attention at all. If people offer you 30.00 odds, then the most logical thing for them would be to become millionaires, since they would personally bet on those and they would not bother to offer tips for 30 or 50 euros.
Really, it’s as simple as that…
