Football betting is like running a marathon, not a 100 meter sprint. Each football season lasts an average of nine months. Each punter must be prepared for the long haul. A very high percentage of punters eventually lost money. The ratio of losers could be as high as 95%. So, there is this small elite group of 5% of punters who can generate consistent profit year after year. What separate these punters from the losing punting crowd?

These are the six factors that separate the winning punters from the losers :
1) Football betting must be treated as a business, not as a hobby
This is a key factor which is often under-estimated. When you are in a
business, every business transaction will be carefully handled to ensure it
brings in a profit. You do not transact the business just to have fun. Same
with sports betting. Serious punters devote much efforts and time to running
their betting campaign as a business. They will do utmost to maximise profit
and stay solvent during the gruelling campaign.
2) Have a strategising checklist
The pros establish very clear strategising criteria which involve thorough
research and analysis. They place their bets based on laid down strategies
and not from the 'sure-win' tips that they heard or the 'lucky hunch' that they
feel.
3) Keep a systematic betting log
No business exists without proper paperwork. In football betting, this is
called the betting log and all successful punters swear by it. Documenting

2. their bets will help them to identify the reasons behind the winning bets and
the causes behind the losing bets.
Keeping records takes a lot of time, efforts and discipline. But the betting
log will reveal an accurate picture of all your bets.
Losing is bad. But losing not knowing why is worse. Most losing punters do
not make an attempt to find out why they lost. If they knew, they would
have done something about it, reverse the tide, and then become winners.
From the betting log, you may be surprised to find out that some things work
better than others. Just do more of what's working and less of what's not.
4) Have sound money management rules
The winning punters know that even though they may pick more than 50%
of winning bets, they may still lose if they stake more money on the losers.
They know that no staking plan can turn a losing selection into a winning
one BUT a good selection can be ruined by a poor staking plan.
The pros will set up sound money management rules especially on staking
size. The amount will be carefully determined so that their betting fund can
remain solvent to allow them to weather any downward swings in the long
betting marathon.
The main mistake made by losing punters is varying the size of their bets
frequently in the belief that this is the fast track to profits. They doubled up
to "make a killing" when winning, and also doubled up to "play catch-up"
when losing. They risked too much of their betting fund on a few of such
"emotional" bets. They did not spend enough time to understand that sound
money management practices can maximise their profit and help them to
avoid losing all of their betting fund. Inefficient money management can
make them insolvent much faster than they expected.
5) Stick to the plan at all costs
The winning punters follow their plan religiously. This is of course easier
said than done as we are all human beings. There are many temptations to
stray from the plan. There is always a good reason to do so.

3. There are punters who may refer to their rules a 100 times but have
problems sticking to some, especially the stake size. Remember, you could
pick 60% of winners and still lose if you are putting more $ on the losers.
The pros have the mindset to be firm and not deviate from their plan.
6) Be very patient when the chips are down
Those punters who expect to be profitable each week will be disappointed.
You are going to win and you must expect to lose. You will have highs and
you will have lows. Streaks happen along the way.
Losing is inevitable and is part of the game. The pros accept losing streaks
as part of their business. They are prepared to encounter loss in the short run
but they never lose sight of their betting business in the long run. Their
priority is to make sure their betting fund is not depleted.
Every punter must remember that cash is his inventory, like tools to a
mechanic. Without cash, he is out of business, and without a chance to make
a comeback.
Conclusion
The above six factors may sound easy to understand and follow, but when
real money is on the line, it may not look that easy to do anymore.
It takes a lot of efforts to strategise a winning plan. It can be harder
psychologically to stick to the plan religiously. This is why majority of the
punters fails to win consistently. I hope you have what it takes to be a
member of the exception.
