When you want to win money from betting it is essential to pick the correct way of placing your bets. There are many people who put four or five matches together because they want to win a great sum by multiplying the odds. However, it is completely wrong. The correct way of betting is to put your money just on singles.

You would ask why is that. The answer is in the numbers. Let’s do some betting maths.

We have Jim who is a punter with success rate of 60% and average odds on 2. Jim is a great punter because there are not so many players who can achieve such numbers. However, Jim likes to bet on five games in one row  because the final odds of 32 after multiplying is really tempting.

On one hundred games he will make 20 bets, each with five games on it. He has to win all five to get his winning. How many successful bets will he have? In the worst scenario – zero. He would lose his entire bank because one or two games will fail him and make his bet non winning. This is not a great way of betting. With his best scenario Jim would have won three of four times. This means he would have his betting money again in his pocket with huge interest, but at what price.

What will happen if he has decided to bet on singles? With his successful rate of 60 with average odds of two he would have 20% clear betting win from his bank, without any risk of losing his money.

Tell me which way of betting is better? To gamble all of your money and count on pure luck or to invest them wisely and have a sure income? I believe the answer is clear here. Every real punter will take sure money in his pocket instead of gambling and have nothing in the end of the day.

There is a huge debate among the punters on the best way to bet – using statistical databases or just make picks based on information, knowledge and your sense of which team would win. Both ways of betting have their weaknesses and advantages and are used by many punters all over the world.

Those punters, who love to make bets by using their sense of which team is better, claim their way is better because it often gives better winning rate and so bigger money winnings. The other punters respond to that by saying that the so called betting fatigue is a huge factor and will decrease the winning rate only a few weeks after the punter starts to play.

The punters who love betting by using the statistics claim that their method is much better because it gives the ability for a punter to bet on games all over the world. The ones who prefer to bet only on matches he or she is familiar with are limited to one or two, at most, championships if he or she wants to be successful. The punter who uses stats as a starting point can bet on matches in North Australia for example without any problem. They may not even know the teams but they would have enough information for making a successful bet thanks to the statistics. However, to this argument the other team responded with the fact that the stats punters have much lower winning rate of betting than them.

The punters who love betting by using all the information available have another advantage. They can stop and have a rest whenever they decide. Those who use stats for betting picks cannot do it. It will break their databases and the information they use will not be complete which will lead to mistakes.

However, as always, the truth is in the middle. It is up to the punter’s abilities which method should work best. What is imperative is the punter to find his own way and to keep on with it.

There are many punters who like to bet only on matches for which they have checked all the available information. They believe that in this way of betting they have more chances to win because their winning rate is higher than the rate of people who depend on statistical methods for picking the games to bet. They are probably right but just in the first few months.

There is something very important in betting which is quite good for the bookmakers and which affects all of the punters no matter how good they are. It is called the tiredness of betting.

I will explain it shortly. When you start betting you are probably fresh and with huge will to win. You read a lot about the condition of the players, you carefully read what the coaches have said, you check all the stats you have about the game etc. You also check what other punters believe about this match and finally you place your bet and most probably you would win.

You do this for every bet you make day after day, week after week. At first the winning rate is keeping your enthusiasm for betting on great levels. However, the first signs for the phenomenon tiredness of betting are coming.

After a week or even months of careful betting you start reading less and less, your will to look carefully for every detail is decreasing and your winning rate is going down. This is because you are feeling the tiredness of doing one thing day after day. You have become a bit rash.

If you feel it is time to stop betting for one or two months. However, there are almost none of the punters who do that. Most of them continue betting with the same speed and finally they lose all their money. All of this because of tiredness of betting.
