Welcome to yet another installment of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, and our lesson for the day is a follow-up on yesterday's lesson. Yup, you read it right, you'll be unceremoniously schooled, again.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you today's lesson.
The trends in the world of betting.
You very well know by now that trends do and will occur. In case for those of you not familiar with the term, trends are streaks that are oh so common in the world of sports.
One team could either go for a seven-game winning streak or crumble with a nine-game losing skid. Trends dominate and in the wonderful art of sports betting, you must stop trying to explain these streaks and start having these streaks work for you.
Sports bettors live and die with streaks. That is a fact you must be ready to accept.
I'll give you guys an example on how streaks sometimes, can be an ally today and be an enemy the next.
Let's say you like Valentino Rossi and you kept on winning big wagers as he went on for a three-game-top-three-finish streak. Feeling cocky, you bet half of your winnings on him again in his 4th grand prix, thinking that he will surely win again.
Unfortunately, Valentino Rossi lost and you ended up with half of your winnings. The problem here is you relied too much on trends, which is the wrong thing to do.
Yes, you can have streaks work for you but you must not forget that streaks do end and as a sports bettor, you must be ready when it will end.
That's it for this edition of Sports Betting Lessons, keep your eyes glued on my page because professor Jeffdstuff has more to teach ya'll about this wonderful and awesome sport we call sports betting.
