Betting guide

While rugby hasn’t yet caught on everywhere in the world, it is huge in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa for good reason.  It is one of the most intensely physical sports in existence, which makes it a thrill to watch.  But rugby is special for other reasons too.  It is one of the most inclusive, diverse sports out there, and the camaraderie on teams and even between teams is amazing - read here why you should bet on rugby.

Just getting into rugby betting and trying to decide what to wager on?  One of the cool things about rugby is that it is a vastly popular international sport and there is always something going on.  Rugby has a number of large and small ongoing events you can follow. 

In a recent set of articles on What Do You Need to Bet on Horse Racing, I discussed some of the supplies that you need to wager on horse racing as well as intangibles such as a system or method for handicapping.

One thing you may have heard that you need in order to bet on horse racing is “tout sheets.”  What are tout sheets, where do you get them, and do you need them to win?

While you will find numerous articles on coming up with techniques to determine whether a bet is worthwhile, you will not encounter as many articles that tackle the topic of money management.  Assuming you have discovered a bet is worth taking, how do you put a monetary value on it?  How do you decide how much to risk?

That is important with every sport, and horse racing is no exception.

If it was your first time doing so, maybe you won, maybe you lost—but you probably discovered one thing for certain, which is that betting on horse racing really ups the ante when it comes to excitement.

It’s hard to believe that Cheltenham Festival and all the other big horse racing events have already come and gone.  This year’s event was as thrilling as ever.  If you had the chance to attend in person, you probably had a grand (and hopefully profitable) time wagering.  If not, you probably bet online from home. 

Earlier this year was Cheltenham Festival 2016, one of the biggest annual events in horseracing, and one of the most exciting to attend.  If you were lucky, maybe you had a chance to grab tickets and wager from the racecourse.  If you were there, you could have placed your bets at the teller window, or you could have used your mobile device and wagered online from the stands. 

It is a common mistake for sports bettors to ignore new golfers who are joining a tour for the first time—or who are coming back to a tour after a long time away.  Sometimes these players are among the strongest in the tour, especially in the beginning when other veteran golfers may be reserving their energy and focus for later.  How can you evaluate a new golfer to determine his likely value?
