Think Right When You Bet

By John Corvelay


Most people does the same mistake when they are betting. They bet with their intuition, either do they have a favorite team, or a player, or a number. Or the worst, they "feel" the right bet.

Why is that so? Well, basically it is in our human nature. The main reason that human kind has come to where it is today is because of the ability to feel.

The human race has survived because of their instincts, if it did feel right to do one way, they went that way. Was it the right choice, they'd survive. The evolution hadn't come this far if it wasn't for the ability to make the right choices, with a sense of instinct to back you up.

Now you're probably wondering what the heck this has to do with betting. I'll try to explain.

As I said, the human race survived because of their ability to feel, but also by developing a mind that was able to learn form previous events. If a thing had worked before, it would work again, probably. And with the evolution to lean on, the individuals who was capable to make the best decisions in would survive.

It has therefore been an advantage to "feel" something about any decisions to make. The intuition has always been our best friend in the decision making processes.

But if you apply this to gambling, or betting, the same instinct very often will distract you from making a proper decision. You would filter everything through those feelings and make decisions from that, rather than taking the actual circumstances into a count.

Beginning to see where I'm going? To get the right measurement tools, instead of rely on what "feels" right, you hav to do research. Take real statistics and get everything black on white. That way you can make decisions and bets based on the true statistics, and not what you "feel". So what you need is a place to get statistics from. Because what happened in the passed will tell you what will happen next.

Where can you find statistics? Think about it for a moment. You will probably come up with some useful sites, and remember that you have to find not only recent statistics, but also older stats will most likely be important too.

To help you there are some good programs that will help you, which provides you with good research of statistics. A good program and betting service should help you to easy scan the stats and be able to place a bet that are more well based than you have done 'til now. That way you are much more likely to really make money on your betting. So go and do your research now.
