Engishman holds key to winning at sports gambling!

[yyz]

Here is some priceless information regarding sports wagering, that I picked up on a travel board. The original question was a guy asking if tout services are worth it. Here's one of the replies he got:



Why anyone would pay anyone for tips is beyond me because if you just put a little time and effort into football betting its almost impossible not to show a profit at the end of the season as long as you are disciplined and only bet parlays.

For example assuming the season consists of 18 weeks and you place a 4 team handicap parlay each week of say $20.00 (it could be more depending on each individual.

In England a 4 team parlay on the handicaps pays at least 10/1 odds so 18 weeks at $20.00 a bet is an outlay of $360.00.

Just 2 winning parlays out of 18 and you are guaranteed to show a profit of over $60.00 and thats only betting $20.00 a week with only 2 winning bets and if you cant get 2 winning parlays out of 18 then your not spending enough time studying the games or your stupid or very unlucky.

That's great for you to post that a week after the games have been played!

I'll tell you what. Place your "bets" each week in a nice little thread BEFORE the games go off, and we'll see how much cash you make.

Telling people that parlays are a way to make money at sports wagering, is like telling them you have a "system" for winning at the slots. It's bad information. If you have been making money betting 4 team parlays, you haven't been playing very long.

Actually i did post my selections here in this forum Saturday evening before they began with my first bet containing 1 loser and 5 winners thus a losing parlay but i then placed my second bet of a 4 team parlay which won giving me a return of over 10-1.

I am not saying you cant lose betting parlays im just saying if you put some time into studying form,odds,trends,injuries,etc and your disciplined its not that hard to make a profit over the season.

Alas i am far from disciplined myself because as much as i bet to win i also bet for fun so often will place more than one bet simply so i can watch and/or listen to the games which make it more enjoyable but harder to show a profit over time.

But even saying that i have made a profit most years from football (soccer) here in England and from American football since i first starting betting on it about 15 years ago.

To bad i cant say the same about horse and greyhound racing but thats another story.

By the way i am 48 and been gambling since i was 12 and even worked in the gaming industry for 17 years so i think i have an idea what im talking about.

Well, I guess you should be one of those guys seeling your picks, John. You are the only person I have ever heard of winning at football over a 15 year span. Congratulations to you.

By the way, I've been a human for 40 years, it doesn't make me a humanitarian.
