Using Computers to Help You Bet: The Passion of Grubber
I have been using computers to help me bet for the best part of my betting life. A computer betting system can be a great tool for everything from checking your odds to creating a full blown sports prediction system.
Sadly I am not going to tell you that using a computer betting system will change your profits overnight. Any system is only as good as the way it has been programmed and the data it has to work with.
There is some good news though, you don't have to be a computer programmer to knock up a betting system. ...
Keeping your head – The most important part of keeping your money
Betting can be a lot of fun, but if you are in it to make some money then you should start treating it as a business rather than a game (though having a smaller bank for fun bets is still a good idea).
It is very easy to lose your head when betting, we have all had moments when your well researched top picks don't come in and you are left with a hole in your betting bank.
Make sure you follow a good money management system.
Money management is key to making and keeping your winnings. Find the money management ...
Staking plans – How to calculate your stake
Betting Staking Plans
There are many varying opinions on staking plans, but one thing all Staking Plans have in common is the notion of protecting your betting bank.
Your betting bank should be your starting point for your staking plan. The size of your betting bank should be based on the money you have set aside and can afford to lose if it all goes wrong. This should never be money that should be paying your bills or looking after your family. If you don't have the spare money to start now then please take the time ...
Finding Value – Value bets and extracting maximum profit
Finding value is the key to making profit long term from betting. Not one single punter wins every bet he/she makes, in fact just getting a good winning percentage can be hard. Don't give up if you have a few loosing bets because the good news is that if you make sure you find the value you will profit long term.
Value simply means finding better odds than the chance of it occurring. A crazy example might be a football match, lets say England v Andorra. The realistic odds for England winning at home might be around 1.2, but lets suppose ...
Money Management – The most important part of winning
In my opinion the importance of good money management while betting is THE most important factor to becoming a long term winner. Picking winners is great, but no one wins all of the time, no matter how good they are.
So what do I mean by money management? Well, to me money management is the art of keeping your losses to a minimum so that you bank is never affected too much by a single day of losses. Not only that but it is making sure, as best you can, that your bank grows over time. Bank growth is where the ...
Betting online – The traditional route and betting exchanges
While betting shops remain popular (I have five in my small town), the world of online betting has grown to massive proportions. A whole new world has opened to people who would never have set foot in a betting shop. Now people are free to research their bets in the comfort of their own home (or garden sometimes if you are anything like me), with the very latest information on the sporting event right at their finger tips.
Online betting offers you the opportunity to bet on events at anytime, day or night and see your winnings appear in ...

It is one of those days today where there are a few horse races that almost make the criteria. While it is always tempting to push it and risk some of these races, I always resist from doing so.
I like to read my own article Keeping Your Head on days like this, just as a gentle reminder.
The trading on the NFL yesterday was as good as ever and brought in a nice little haul. I am a big fan of the game so watching while trading is a real pleasure.
No trading today for me then. I might have to have a luch time game of Poker though!
Writing for the Betfair blog earlier I was examining the chances of San Francisco taking the win when they visit the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.
They have really impressed me with their play and their attitude off of the field. They look like, well, a team!
It should be a game worth watching too. Frank Gore is on fire for the 49ers and Adrian Peterson is the key man on the Vikings side. Both should provide some exciting play, it may even end up being a classic battle.
The system does not pick it up as a clean win for the 49ers, but it does highlight the trading opportunities. With the pre-match odds so high on the 49ers there is profit to be made here. I am planning to put a back bet in and then trade out when the odds drop. I’ll probably set my trade out odds before the game and leave the computer to do the work.
I have my eye on this as a great game for trading on. The odds on offer on the Titans are wide open for a good bit of profit.
I think it is going to have to be a quick in and out job though. I am hoping that the Titans will look good in the first quarter and the odds will come in, so that I can trade out. If things don’t go to plan then I will probably trade out anyway for a small loss rather than leaving myself open for too long. Read more…
I reported earlier in the week on my Betfair blog (see my About page for the link) that the odds on the saints were dropping fast. Looking at the news I still think that it was a great bet. If you got on at the right time you could now trade out for a profit before the game has even started! Read more…
There are a few bets I will be maig on the NFL this Sunday starting with this Miami Dolphins v Atlanta Falcons.
I will be looking for Miami to continue their great form from last year and am frankly amazed by the odds on offer for them today Click to view current odds . They make a great trading opportunity at the very least and discussed more about this on the Betfair Canada blog.
Enjoy the game today, don’t forget your free £25 ($50) bet and good luck if you have a bet today.

Week 1 of the NFL is finally here and the Thursday night game sees the Titans visit Super Bowl camps the Steelers.
It should be a great game and there are some amazing odds on offer for the Titans. I’ll be taking these with a view to trading out during the game. I do think the Steelers will take the win, so from a straight bet point-of-view I would go with that, but with the odds so high on the Titans it would seem a shame not to trade. Read more…
I am really looking forward to both the season and the betting. It seems to have been a long time coming, but the systems are ready and it should be an interesting year.
I write from a non-betting point of view at Mac Talks NFL, and we will also be running a bit of a prediction comp over there. It will be interesting to see if the computer gets beaten by gut feel this year. Last year it was equal.
Be sure to check back for betting predictions and stratagies here as the season kicks off.
There has been a lack of updates recently while I work on my new NFL prediction system. It will be using a wider range of criteria than last years one, so I am hoping for some good results.
Only one way to test it though, roll on the start of the season!
