5 Ways to Improve at Sports Betting Right Now

When you are struggling to improve at sports betting, it is easy to flounder and feel completely lost.  You look at the tasks you need to accomplish and the obstacles you need to surmount, and they can seem massive and unapproachable.  Sometimes though the best thing to do is just do one thing at a time, and choose small, approachable tasks instead of trying to take a hundred steps at a time.  Here are 5 simple steps you can take right now to become a better bettor.

1. Read or watch a tutorial, article, or book.  There are plenty of resources available for those who want to seriously learn sports betting.  Search online and read an eBook or an article, or head to the library and pick up a hardcopy book.  Watch a video tutorial online or attend a webinar.

2. Test a new betting system.  Try something new if you feel stuck.  Just remember to do it on paper and not with real money at first.  Alternately, if you already have something that “kind of” works, try a new test with some simple modifications and see if you can get better results.

3. Write in your betting journal.  Sometimes just taking the time to put your thoughts down can help to clarify your thinking.  Things make more sense when you can see them on a screen or on paper.  You may make connections you have missed.

4. Go back over your betting journal and do a methodical, intensive self-review of your past performance to see what you can learn.  Once you do that, journal some more.  You might also consider starting a public blog documenting your journey as a bettor as well.  This can open up new avenues of learning.

5. Get to know members of the betting community.  Start a conversation on a forum today or message someone who uses a similar betting system.  Comment on someone else’s betting blog.  You never know where this can take you.

All of these are easy things you can do right now, and all of them can make a real difference in your betting.  It is tough to tackle nebulous, large goals like “Find a better betting system,” or “Start getting profitable results 90% of the time.”  But when you set small, achievable, simple goals like “Go over my betting log and find at least one thing I can easily improve on,” or “Share my betting system and results online and ask for feedback,” you can actually take steps forward.  Eventually, these small steps will help you to achieve your larger goals, and you may start approaching your profit targets at last.
