What Can Multi-tabling Teach Us About Sports Betting? Part 1

Many people who enjoy wagering on sports also enjoy playing online casino games.  In fact, your online sportsbook may also double as a UK casino site.  If so, you may have played online poker before, and may be familiar with the concept of multi-tabling. 

If you aren’t, multi-tabling is a cool online poker feature which allows you to play several poker games at once.  You are in essence sitting at multiple virtual tables.  The idea is that if you are a good multitasker, you can make more money by juggling multiple games.

Multi-tabling can pay off very well for the players who try it, but only if certain best practices are followed.  The danger with multi-tabling is that it is easy to overextend yourself and try to take on more games than you can manage.  When that happens, you end up making less money than you would with fewer tables.

What does all of this have to do with sports betting?  In a way, I would say that multi-tabling is a good metaphor for the practice of placing more than one wager at a time, which is something that many punters do.  The same best practices which apply to multi-tabling poker also apply on some level to wagering on sports.

In the next installments (What Can Multi-tabling Teach Us About Sports Betting? Part 2 and Part 3), I will go in-depth into a number of different lessons that we can take from multi-tabling poker and apply to sports betting.  This should help you to manage your wagers wisely when you are trying to maximize your profits within a given time window.  For now, I will say this.  Juggling multiple bets can pay off, but it is something which works best in moderation!
