"Fixed Odds Sports betting is certainly not for the faint hearted. Evidence suggests that few actually beat the bookmaker to make a profit over the long term. Nevertheless, the fact that even a few punters are successful verifies that gaining a betting edge is not simply a pipe dream. Provided one learns how to gain this edge, and more importantly adheres to a sensible risk management of his betting strategy, fixed odds sports betting offers a potential investment opportunity to those seeking a little more excitement than merely collecting an annual low interest return from their savings."

"The them of this book has been to encourage the fixed odds sport bettor to think more analytically about his betting strategy, about the markets he invests in, about the type of wagers he makes, about betting value and numerical approaches to finding it, about ways of gaining a head start, and most importantly of all perhaps, about money management and examination of rick. It is only through such clear thinking and critical appraisal that a bettor can hope to maximise his chances of success. Without this the bookmaker will always gain the upper hand!"

1. Set aside a betting bankroll.

Without a proven record of long term success, any punter should avoid betting more than he can afford to lose.The most sensible approach to safeguard against this is to set aside a bankroll for the purposes of betting, the size of which should not encroach on the need to pay bills. If this is lost, the punter should consider the possibility tht fixed odds sports betting wil not, for him at least, offer a suitable investment opportunity.

2. Research your sport and be selective.

There are literally thousands of fixed odds sports betting opportunites to be found every week, and for every one the bookmaker has hoped to stack the odds against you. To improve your chances of overcoming this disadvantage, it is prudent to concentrate on one or perhaps two key sporting markets. Research these thoroughly. For the smaller less popular markets like darts, volleyball, cycling, ski jumping or biathlon, the bookmakers will often know less about the events than a regular follower of such sports, and may only have one or two odds compilers studying them. Be selective and don't bet because you have to, but only when you feel you have identified and edge. After all, the worst you can do by not betting at all is break even.
