When we hear the words sports betting or sports gambling we instantly have negative thoughts running through our heads.We always hear the stories where someone lost control and lost everything.They lose their house, jobs and their families due to gambling which is the sad side, but for those that actually treat it as an investment vehicle, it can be a very profitable endeavor.
There are basically 3 types of sports bettors that fall into the following categories:
1.The addicts – These are the people that have no control over their betting and tend to lose everything.They are in it for the gamble and weather they win or lose they like the feeling of always having money in play.Needless to say this is not where we should be focusing our energies.
2.The Casual Bettor – These are the people that like to put a few bucks down every Sunday during the NFL season.They win some weeks and lose some and really don’t make any money.Usually at the end of the season they are just about break even.They are doing it more for fun while they watch the games on TV .
3.The Professional – These are the guys that we really don’t hear that much about, but they fall into the top 2% of all sports bettors and the ones that actually make money season after season, year after year.These are the guys we can really learn from.
So what separates the professionals sports bettors from the crowd? Well basically they take sports betting a lot more seriously than the average gambler.Below are the characteristics of a pro: .
•Sports Betting is not gambling to them, they look at it as any other investment opportunity.
• They have multiple accounts with different Internet sports books to always get the best odds .
