1.Do not chase your losses or get carried away with your wins. If in doubt walk away and come back another day.

2. Set aside a pool of money for gambling and manage it so that you are in a position to capitalise on good betting opportunities when they arise. Be consistent and play for the long game.

3. Get The Best Price.
If you make only one promise to yourself to always obtain the best available price.

4. Keep Strict Records.
Keeping an accurate record of your wagers can reveal areas of strengths and weakness you may not have been previously aware of.
5. Football punting. By restricting your football bets to the home side you are getting quite a few factors in your favour. The home side has the supporter's help, which can be a great asset in making sure the players are striving for success.
6. Try to restrict your football bets to the domestic football leagues, wherever you bet or are located. Also bet in top-flight football. That would restrict your bets to The Premiership and Championship leagues if you bet in the UK.
7. Use this staking plan and keep it separate from all your other bets. This way you will see clearly your betting pot grow and not get drained by your other losing bets.
Lets say you start with a betting pot of 500.
A) Divide this figure by 5.
B) This is your stake for first football bet - 100.
C) If you win, the betting bank increases to, lets say 600 - you now bet 120 next match.
D) If you lose with first bet then your next stake will be for 80 (400 divided by 5).
8. When betting on The Grand National remember it is staged over more than four miles. Try to find a horse who can stay forever, and who jumps for fun.
9. Don't have a bet for the sake of it. Accept there may be many days without a bet
10. Specialise.
Try to specialise in a particular sport or league. No one has the time or resources to bet on everything.
