I know that from my experience. A punter finds a way to bet and finally a system that works looks perfect and the future seems bright. The punter starts making tips and fortunately the profit is rising, but there is a moment when all of this is not enough anymore. After a period of money increasing everything goes back and even below the bank the punter started with.
Why does it happen? Many people would say that the system is simply not good enough or the punter’s skills aren’t good, but the truth is different. I think that the most important fact here is the exhaustion which is getting stronger and stronger and reduce the punter’s betting ability. This is something inevitable and unfortunately it is the reason for failing of many good systems.
What can we do about it? There are two methods I use to avoid this symptom. First, I make some pick systems where my mind is not occupied with the match. I don’t think about who is in better form, who is injured etc. I just put all the numbers my system requires and I just wait for the results to come. This is a really hard way, because it needs months of hard work for finding the correct system and filters to clean the system for better results.
I have been doing this for two years and I am still working on that.
The other method is to use a betting help site, which provides picks. There are lots of benefits doing so. First, you don’t bother with team news and stats – you just follow your system. Second, those sites are using many punters, so the factor tiredness is no longer important. You just have to apply the picks they give. Of course, we mustn’t forget the fact, that those sites hire really good punters, who know much about betting and most importantly they have better sources of information, than a regular punter has.
I have been using bettingchoice.co.uk for one of my football betting systems and I must say I am satisfied with the results. The fact, that I don’t make those tips gives me the time to concentrate on my under-over betting in NBA and at the same time I make profit from both systems, which is really good. My ROI from NBA betting is about 23% and the result from football betting is about 25% profit.
