strategy vs. non-strategy

[Clotty]

Previously football betting has just been a hobby using fantasy money. Without using a strategy I've been surprisingly successful - this weekend for example I won fantasy money on Ghana to win, Cameroon to win, Seville to win, Liverpool to win (losing on my Sunderland to win prediction only). This betting, however, has been purely instinctive. What I think will earn me money. However, I've seen here people developing strategies and even one made by some Joe-something-or-other which is on sale for a tenner (I think it's a tenner anyway). I'm open to using a strategy as I realise my style is dangerous and could be catastrophic if I hit a bad run, but what are the general advantages of using a proper strategy and what have been the most successful ones that you'd recommend me looking into? Useful articles for an absolute beginner with real money on betting in general would also be nice if any good ones are out there.

Re: strategy vs. non-strategy Hi Clotty and :welcome to PL! The general advantage of betting strategy or system is the discipline if and money managament if you ask me. I cant recommend any particular strategy though as it isn't anything exact to be 100% sucessful or 100% wrong, but I'm sure you'll find something interesting here which could inspire you to find you own ;) For the begining you should read few articles at http://www.sports-punter.com/index.php?p=pages/strategies Cheers and good luck with you real betting :ok
