In Nigeria, betting is like the last resort, the means of livelihood because poverty is spreading and getting deeper in the country.
You drive past retail outlets and you see people both men and women, staring at the board with white papers trying to forecast games.
Betting has turned the fortunes of many while in the same vein, it has sent some people back to their village.
I know many we open this article, thinking, “It’s time to learn the tricks of making millions”. But yes, we have to learn the tricks that will guide us into the journey.
To continue chasing the millions, we need to remember these tips every day.
SELF DISCIPLINE
This is the most critical habit you need to cultivate when venturing into sports betting. Self-discipline will make you set up a balance sheet for your wins and losses.
You need to set a limit so you can walk away when your loss account is getting the hits (you are losing money).
Most times, it’s important to set a daily limit as this will also guide you when you are not winning games.
The problem many punters/bettors have is that they don’t know when to walk away. Just because you’ve won 5 bets in a row doesn’t mean you will make it 6th time lucky.
The more discipline you have when making your selections, the more you will increase your winning chances considerably, so it’s always worth learning to have it before you part with your cash.
In fact, all winning streaks eventually end, whether we like to admit it.
ENJOY BETTING
Betting must be your passion because when you lose big money that will only be your consolation. If you don’t love betting, there is no point in doing it.
On the social spaces, there are many instances of people just begging/asking for betting codes without a strong bond with the activity.
Discipline isn’t everything in football. You also must be knowledgeable of the various leagues and teams involved. You also must have the willpower to research on teams before you part with your cash.
Many players bet for the money rather than the excitement that comes with it.
POCKET RATE
Many punters/bettors bet money they can’t really afford to lose. Then they find themselves in a downward financial spiral that they can’t get themselves out of.
When you beg people for bet money, you need to stop and take a break.
Ultimately, discipline will keep your finances in order so you can enjoy betting with much more freedom which could reward with longer odds available.
If you continue to lose money with no winnings, it’s time to learn how to get some or walk away from betting altogether.
ADDICTION
This is the biggest menace in sports betting.
In most cases, it is just a fun way of having a good time and occasionally winning some money. But there are cases that this hobby turns into a passion and this passion ends up being an addiction.
At that moment, the hobby that once brought joy and sometimes additional money can bring disastrous consequences such as financial and family problems.
When you face financial and family problems because of betting – its time you walk away, reduce your stakes or just quit betting altogether.
IF YOU DON’T MAKE UP YOUR OWN RULES WHEN YOU’RE BETTING, THEN ANYTHING GOES, AND IT MEANS YOUR BANK WILL SUFFER.
