How Are You Thinking 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 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.

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

The humans whom survived in the past, developed an ability to learn from the past. The things that had went good before, would most definitely work again. This way, the individuals who could take advantage of earlier experiences to make better decisions would also outlive the individuals that couldn't.

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

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.

So where to find statistics? Think for a moment where you could easily find these statistics, and remember that both new stats and old stats are important. Not only the recent few games that have been played.

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.
