Scott's Top Tips for Sports Betting
- Shop Around
Always look for value when placing your bets, whether that means getting bigger odds, enhanced each-way terms or taking advantage of bookmakers offering consolation bonuses if your bet is beaten. Do your homework by comparing prices and place terms, and prioritise bookies that offer Best Odds Guaranteed.
- Spread The Love
To maximise value by shopping around, it helps to have accounts with multiple betting sites. After all, there's a big difference between backing a winner at 5/1 when 8/1 was available elsewhere. Finding winners is hard enough, so when you do, make sure you're properly rewarded by taking the best price on offer.
- Never Chase Losses
This has to be the number one rule in betting: never chase your losses and always gamble responsibly. Only stake what you can afford to lose, and if things don't go your way, don't try to win it back with more bets. Take a step back, regroup, and come back another day.
