The Right Information
There are a variety of sites out there that you can obtain information that will help you decide on your picks. As with the last post you need to find a system that works and going through certain stats, player news, and trends can help you be more confident in your picks and help you be profitable in the long run. Rotoworld.com is a great site for player news and they seem to be the fastest in updating you the fastest. Sometimes, however, the news that a coach will sit his starters or a certain star player for rest comes only an hour before the game. So sometimes its best to wait until the last hour to place your wagers if you suspect a player might be sat.
As stated before, covers.com is a great site to get consensus picks (what the public is on) and to follow people who are consistent with their picks. Just by browsing in the forums you can find picks by people that have a following and the best part all its free to join and browse the forums. Covers also offers contests such as the streak survivor contest where people on the site try to get the highest streak for cash and prizes.
Another thing I like to do is check espn for news surrounding a team and to read the preview of the game Im looking to wager on and view the comments as well. This gives you an overall feeling of the game that can give you an edge to who might win the game. I also use the site to check the teams last few games and see if they are sort of trending upwards or crashing down. This can also be a good indicator to see if there are any trends happening.

A Strategy That Works
The next thing you'll need to be a successful sports bettor is a strategy that works for you. There are a few different ways to go about making money online on sports books. The best is to find one that works for you. You can come up with your own system, follow someone else's picks, and even pay for picks. I believe the best is to come up with your own system. This way you can't blame other people for losing picks. You hold yourself responsible for each picks and maybe better your research in the process.
There are systems out there but a lot of them do not work. If you are looking for a system or someone to follow I recommend docsports for paid picks and covers.com for unpaid ones. Docs has been around for decades and their cappers are experienced and over the long run are generally profitable. What I have been doing though is finding credible people on covers and with a combination of research and trends and make my picks that correlates to their recommendations.
You can find who the public is siding with on all major U.S. sports on covers.com and player new on rotoworld.com remember 90% of bettors lose and only 10% are profitable so fading the pubic on a regular basis isn't a bad strategy.
A Disciplined Approach
The next thing you'll need to be a successful sports bettor is a disciplined approach. What I mean by this is that you need to be conservative when betting and only bet a small percentage of your bankroll on each pick. This is usually between 2-5% of your bank roll so if you have a starting bankroll of $1000 then you don't want to bet more than $50 on each pick. The reason for this is that if you bet too much and go on a losing streak then that $1000 will be gone quite quickly.
The other thing that can deplete your bankroll quickly is chasing. This is a term sports bettors use that means after your first loss you double your next pick and so on until you win. It is very dangerous and can kill your bankroll very quickly. I have personally tried this approach and can tell you that one bad streak can deplete your entire bankroll.
So the best way to earn money doing this is to have a disciplined approach betting no more than %5 at a time and to gradually build your bankroll and slowly increase your bet size. I recently saw a video that had an example of this and compound interest. A person starting at $1000 with a win rate of 57% (a reasonable win rate for experienced bettors) can make 20k in one year and then skyrocketing to a healthy 370k in just two years! This is with a very disciplined approach of betting and can be obtained if you follow every step in this blog.
Starting Out Betting - A Sportsbook You Can Trust
Hello and Welcome to Experienced Sports Betting Tips!
Today I will be talking about starting out betting and the tools you need to be a successful sports bettor. I have been betting on sports for about 8 years now and I have had ups and downs doing it. What you need to be successful in this business is 1. A Good Recommended Sports Book 2. A Disciplined Approach 3. A Strategy That Works 4. The Right Information 5. Bonus tips
The first thing you need is a good sports book. Some offer sign up bonuses and "freeplays" so you always want to look out for those. I like sportsbetting.ag personally because they offer a 25% reload bonus freeplay everytime you deposit into your account. Sportsbetting.ag also usually has better odds than sites like betus.com. A site I've heard good things about but haven't personally tried, is five dimes. They are famous for offering 5% juice all across their book which is about half that of your typical sports book.
You also may want to check out the books deposit methods and make sure you have the means to put money into your account. Most online sports books offer Money Gram, Western Union, and credit cards as their main way to deposit. While others offer some obscure ways to deposit/payout such as book to book transfers.
The last thing is to consider signing up for one or two books. This way you can deposit the same amount into each book and shop around for the best price. It's something that is overlooked but not all books have the same odds and some are more competitive on different sports than others. If you can find the Lakers at -1 on one book and -3 on another with the same juice you would want to take the -1 to put yourself at a competitive advantage because if your like me and bet everyday those two points can be the difference between being profitable for the day or having a losing one.
