6 Rules To Wager On Sports Successfully 

#1 DO NOT wager money you cannot afford to lose!

Addiction to gambling is linked to a range of serious personal and social harms such as depression and suicide, bankruptcy, family breakup, domestic abuse, assault, fraud, theft, and even homelessness. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplace or community. If you have an addiction/problem contact 1-800-GAMBLER

 

#2 Bankroll Management

 

Your bankroll is your best friend when playing because it can keep you in check and dictate the strategy of your play when you work with it and manage it correctly. Yet, how often do gamblers allow their emotions to take over and make a series of bad decisions that seriously depletes their bankroll?

It happens a lot, but  especially to newcomers to this arena. One rash bet can wipe you out! But this doesn't happen when you follow the specific unit strategy the Vicious team lays out for all of its members.

What we recommend is that you stay within the 1-3% range per unit and wagering no more than 15% of your bankroll on any given day. Doing so will prevent you from depleting your bankroll in a short amount of time. It will allow you to win money from  your sportsbooks over time successfully if you follow our picks exactly as instructed.

Example: 

Bankroll $5000

1Unit = $50 - $150

#3 Stay Calm & Composed

 

It often happens that in the heat of the moment, an amazing betting opportunity arises that is so attractive you just have to take it. But there is a big difference between a careful, measured approach to betting and a rash, emotional approach.

The Vicious team stays calm and emotionally neutral when weighing up a betting prospect. This is so we can act with a clear head and make the best decision based on countless hours of studying statistics & world class systems. 

If you want to maximize your success, always give yourself time to act calmly, as unemotionally as possible and with a calculated decision. The Vicious team does not chase opportunities, we wait for them to come to us!

#4 Stay Disciplined

 

Discipline is a fundamental virtue to succeed in very many things in life and gambling is not an exception. When we lose a bet, we do not stake bigger amounts to chase the money we have lost on previous wagers. Inevitably when wagering you will come across cold streaks, sticking to the games our team suggests and following the unit structure we layout will give you the greatest chance to be successful over the long term. 

Novice gamblers have a tendency to let their hearts rule their heads and allow emotions to colour their decisions. A rash or hot headed decision over a bet will invariably end badly. This is because the decision will not have been calculated and thought through! Have a game plan and stick to it! If you decide to become a member, stick to exactly what we suggest!

 

#5 Stay Away From Big Parlays

For anybody unfamiliar with this bet type, a parlay is a combo bet with two or more wagers linked together. If any of the bets in the parlay lose, then the entire parlay loses. However, bettors can sometimes parlay several teams together for massive one-time payouts.

Parlays are most popular during football season where bettors will oftentimes string together a dozen bets in hopes of striking it rich, and sportsbooks readily play into this get-rich-quick mentality. You’ll never hear sportsbooks talking about the stockpile of losing tickets but, as you probably noticed they have no problem showing their members the few winning tickets that win each week.

The Vicious team pushes that its members stay away from parlays compiling 3 or more picks unless it's for a very small amount (0.1 to 0.2 units). These bets provide massive profits for the sportsbooks and will lose you money over time.

#6 Have FUN!

The last rule here is to enjoy yourself when playing. The whole idea of wagering on sports is that it should be a happy and fulfilling experience. This ONLY happens when you follow the rules and stay sensible.

It's not much fun playing rashly like an idiot and losing all your money very quickly. It's important that your bankroll is separate from the money you need for something else important, like your rent or food. Following these simple yet crucial rules will allow you to enjoy your experience wagering and give you a much better chance at success.

So enjoy your game, use your money wisely and above all, have fun!
