It's Not What You Make, It's What You Keep

Someone mentioned to me yesterday that professional football is really corrupt. I thought to myself, what is new. The guy continued, saying that there was once he betted on 6 Spanish league games. On that night alone there were ridiculous amount of yellow cards and most of the games went against his prediction. 6 games on the same league at one night? How do you even monitor all of them at once? The guy must have all sorts of satellite dishes and computer servers to stream these matches. And the guy must have excellent attention span.

There were times that I have been guilty of putting bets on games that I am not sure of and did not monitor. But I have learnt it the hard way and it is just so important to be monitoring live. Especially soccer. It is the kind of sports that anything can happen at anytime. And I've also noticed that asian punters just loves to go for the + bets, meaning accepting goals on Asian Handicap bets picking the weaker team rather than the stronger. They do that because the payout is way better. Indeed, sometimes the stronger team just won't score as many goals. I don't blame them, everybody wants to make a profit. Unfortunately, the bookmakers are there because they also want to make money. If the casinos don't make more money than you, there won't be any casinos at all. If the brokers don't make more money than you, there will be no platform to monitor stocks and forex on. Everybody wants to make a few extra bucks, but what they have forgotten is the odds are the way they are for a reason. Monitoring what you bet on is just so important.

I can't understand people who put bets blindly on sports and complain when the results end up against them. They forgot that, all the people involved on the match is there because it's a job to them. They get paid. From the guys who makes the big bucks on the field to the cameraman. Get it?...

Heard of the phrase "It's Not What You Make, It's What You Keep".

Look there's even a book written on it.
