A growing number of people bet on football, including fantasy football. Some people are casual betters. Others spend a lot of time betting, study the game, and are very serious about both the game and their betting.
It is not a secret that many people who bet money on football lose their money, and only a small percentage of people are able to win consistently and become very successful. This is not different from any other area of life. Everywhere you look, you will see a small percentage of people who are extremely successful. For example, in business, the names of successful people include Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
When it comes to betting on football, you cannot find out the names of successful people very easily because most of them value their privacy. The principle, however, remains the same: you want to figure out what they are doing and how they are doing it, and then do it yourself. If you want to be winning on a consistent basis, you need two things. The first thing is a strategy that has an edge and a positive expectancy. Such a strategy will lead you to more wins than losses.
However, having strategy is not enough. Having strategy is similar to having an idea in business. Your idea may be great, but you also need to execute it and turn into reality. If all you do is think, you are not going to accomplish anything.
In betting, in addition to strategy, you also need execution and discipline. If you want to be winning consistently, you shouldn’t change strategy all the time. You need to pick several strategies and then stick with them. Because of the nature of football betting, this may be hard. You may get excited about a team or a match and feel like changing the strategy, but you can’t be doing that if you want to win in the long term.
