For every winning sports bettor, there are hundreds that lose on a consistent basis.  The following is a list of 7 tips that will increase your odds at winning.  Although not all of these are set in stone, they should be viewed as a set of guidelines for improving one’s winning percentage.

Managing your money – the single most important tip that you should follow is the establishment of your betting budget.  The number one rule of gambling, whether you are playing in a land-based casino or wagering on the internet, is to never bet more money than what you can safely afford to lose.

Shop for the best odds – shopping for the best odds is the second most critical aspect of sports betting.  Getting the best price should be priority number one.

Start small – play for free for a while until you feel comfortable with investing your hard earned money.

Don’t drink and gamble – why do you think so many casinos continually bring you free drinks when you are gambling? Not only does drinking alcohol result in clouded judgments, there is the possibility of making rash decisions that you normally wouldn’t make.

Do your homework first – if you are just starting out, you want to take the time and do some research so you know what you’re doing when you start wagering on sports.

Pay attention to the odds – remember that when you are wagering larger sums of money, the difference in the odds could equate to substantial payouts.

Always bet on the “home” team – this is especially true when they are the underdog in the contest because the team playing on their home turf play inspired football.
