How Often Should You Win

Ready for another sports gambling secret? This one will probably surprise you. Professional handicappers and sports bettors rarely have a long term winning percentage higher than 58 percent.

So, do not set your expectations so high that you get discouraged. Your goal is to use consistent money management and win more than half your bets.

Now, this also says something about all those services selling you their sports picks with the pitch that their handicappers are winning at 70% or 80%. They are selling you snake oil. They make their money selling advice to sports gamblers. If they were consistently hitting those percentages, they would be making their money gambling themselves. They sure wouldn't be sharing the information. Be very careful buying sports gambling advice. If you do pay for picks, be sure you are also provided with the analysis supporting the picks so you can make your own decisions.

I hope you have enjoyed these tips. Follow them, and you are well on your way to winning sports gambling.
