How To Think When When You're Betting

By John Corvelay


I start off with telling what most people are doing wrong when betting. They place bet with their feelings and intuition, often because they bet on their favorite team. A bet that "feels" right, is often the worst of all.

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 evolution of mankind hadn't come this far without making the right choices, often with a sense of instinct involved. They survived because of their instincts, did it feel right to do one way, they went that way. Was it the right choice, they survived.

And now you really are wondering how this can be related to betting. Let me 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.

Therefore it has always been an advantage to "feel" what to do. The intuition is our best friend in that situation.

But when you're applying this instinct to betting, this same intuition very often will lead you the wrong way. 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. Remember that not only recent stats are important, but also previous and historical stats will matter.

To help you out there are some good programs that will help you, which provides you with good base of statistics. These will provide you with facts, and make it easy to know what to expect from those single events you want to bet on. It's easy to make money on betting when your well prepared.
