Saturday Column - To bet or not to bet? That is the question


Morning Team

Are you shaking? Feeling nervous? You want to place a bet don't you but be honest you ain't got a freakin clue about any of the action today, have you? Today is a real test for us bettors with no top flight action around Europe.



Will Walsall continue their good run at home to Bury?

Can Belarus get anything from their trip to Ukraine?



Who really knows as this is a tough weekend for bettors with a mixture of European Qualifying fixtures and lower league action throughout Europe. In truth it's a weekend that if you are not sure then you should really just watch the games on television and enjoy the action for what it is, sporting entertainment. 



If you don't feel like you have an edge or some real understanding of why you are picking the side you're on then you're not betting, you're gambling. In my opinion that is the fundamental difference between being able to make consistent long term positive returns from participating in sports wagering. 



It may be a subtle difference in thought but bettors can win, gamblers rarely do. This is the mindset change that you need to adopt to make regular profits in the game.  



Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with gambling for pleasure. A £10 coupon on teams or goals whilst you laid on the sofa watching Soccer Saturday is a relatively cheap form of entertainment when compared to the theatre, cub me or taking the other half shopping!



Research is key though so please see below for a few of the sites that I enjoy using and find really help my analysis. You can run head to head and situational tests on many of these sites to help you confirm or disprove any ‘gut’ feels you may have.

Remember folks. Sometimes the best bet you can make is the one that you don't make. 



I know it's a Saturday and there is football on the TV but you don't have to bet. 



Be sensible folks and if you're not sure then don't pull the trigger!





Best of luck
