Posted on December 7, 2016 by NZEREOGU

Punting guide for new or an existing punter in sports betting, here are some valuable tips that will guide you into the busiest period of the season.

1. !!! This is Xmas!!!

December is the busiest month in sports. It is a time of glory and also a time of woe. This is a time where the good becomes the bad, and the bad becomes the ugly. During this time there are a lot of factors that change over time. Some of these factors can be the weather factor which can be seen in most cases, countries in Europe. This weather can be gentle mild and sometimes become too cold or hot as the case may be.

Another factor that mostly occurs during the Christmas is the physiological and psychological factor. While some players in some European clubs are on break with their family, most of them will be on the playing pitch carrying out their responsibilities for their clubs instead of being with their family which will make them not to perform up to their best.

Apart from that, a host of clubs around the world lose little or more than half of their players to injuries and fatigues which make them unavailable for crucial matches.

2. Believe in your Dreams

The worst thing that can happen to any punter is a worse losing streak. It can be frustrating and also raise lots of doubts in the minds of punters. But if there is anything a punter has to do, is to believe in his dreams.

Whenever a punter wagers on any sporting event, he or she always have this dream of winning therefore dreaming big. If you are on a losing side, take a break, and then come back because Sports betting is not a do or die affair.

Therefore, in becoming a winner, every punter, should have these three basics and they are; improvising on tactics, strategies and risk management.

3. Forget about the Tips, do your Math

One of the things that get a punter carried away is that soccer tips he gets from other tipsters online through football forums or blogs. These punters become so confident about these tips without considering the flaws of such.

The thing is that most punters are just too lazy to do a thorough analysis before wagering on a sporting event. They feel determining an outcome of a game is easy as getting it online all the time.

They tell you don’t worry I know these sites that solves my problems when it comes to predicting an outcome of a sporting event and guess what; they all lose their cash at the end of the day.

But apart from sorting other tipsters for information concerning a game, you can develop your worksheet, do your math and get good results on your own. At a reputable online bookmaker of bet365, there are over 100 major and 400 minors’ games a punter can wager on in their sports book, not forgetting their Live In-Play betting platform.

Lastly worksheet as a panacea gives you 75% success, while tips give you 25%, be guided.

4. Bigger odds does it all

December is always an exciting period for both Punters and Bookies. During this period, there are mostly surprising results as teams with the bigger odds win. Just like last year, this one was no exception as most team with larger odd won.

During the first week of December (2015), some events occurred where the underdogs won and while some drew.

5. Don’t get carried away

During this period, a lot of people say a lot of things about upcoming match fixtures or a particular team. Don’t get excited about a particular upcoming fixture, don’t be over confident about a particular odd offered by the bookies, just study the fixture, be yourself and do the right thing.

6. If it happens after one match it can happen in four matches

Just as I wrote in my previous blog, streaks are very important to every punter. How a team scores, concedes, no. of goals, clean sheets etc all comes into question.

If a team plays a less than 2.5 goals in one or two games to any average team or bigger team whether home or away that team can go as far as playing a minimum of five consecutive matches playing such.
