More and more people today are starting to make sporting betting their home business. Assisted by a sport-betting advisor,  they are able to enjoy consistent profits.  Sport betting advisors, also known as “sport services,” are professional sport handicappers who work fulltime doing the research and analysis, then provide their clients with recommended plays from the current day’s sports schedules.

Sport betting advisors are in essence filling the same type of capacity as a stock consultant or broker with the exception that stock brokers actually handle your money and make your investments for you. Many people, who are into playing the stock market, find themselves in the same situation as the sport bettor: not having the time or the knowledge to do the necessary work to make an intelligent decision. Just like the stock consultant, the sport betting advisor charges a weekly, monthly or annual fee for their professional services.
Sports betting has been likened to playing the stock market, while handicappers have been compared to stock brokers. You don’t want to dabble on Wall Street without a financial analyst, just like you don’t want to stroll the Vegas Strip or hit offshore books without a good sports advisor.

Billions of dollars are wagered on the Internet annually, despite efforts by the federal government to curtail or eliminate sport gambling. Many billions more are spent at land-based casinos or with illegal or unlicensed bookmakers.

Sports betting is estimated to account for nearly 20 percent of all gambling dollars spent. Unfortunately, most of that money goes into bookmakers’ pockets or tills. Winning at sports gambling is more a game of skill than chance, such as spinning the roulette wheel or pulling the handle of a slot machine. Many people consider sports gambling an art or science. Some sports enthusiasts who take their sports betting seriously make huge profits while comfortably kicking back on the couch on Sunday afternoons and enjoying watching their favorite pasttime.

Handicapping a full schedule of daily basketball or baseball can take 6-8 hours per day, and a full weekend of football games can take the serious analyst upwards of 50 hours of research each week. The job entails statistical numbers crunching, studying game situations, reviewing injuries, looking at weather conditions, watching line movements and gathering information from newspapers from around the country. One must also possess the knowledge of how to use the information it’s assembled.

We’re not referring to the casual or recreational player who might lay down $5 or $10 on their alma mater or hometown team or once a year on the Super Bowl, just to add to their excitement of watching the game. Sports betting isn’t a business to them, though there are amateurs who bet sports on a very regular basis, and take it just as seriously as a professional. This is the group that usually gets in the most trouble.

Folks lumped in this category have a degree of addictiveness. They will use any excuse they can to place a wager, especially if a game is televised, because they feel a need for action. They can’t get pleasure out of simply viewing a sports contest. There’s a reason Vegas books put a big “TV” next to lines on a board. Bookmakers know they’ll get more action on such games and that the money likely isn’t being wagered by a pro with inside knowledge. Casual bettors such as these have little chance of making profits in the long run.

Even taking the 50/50 way out by flipping a coin won’t result in profit. Bookmakers have a built-in commission known as the “vig” (vigorish) or “juice.” That’s how bet shops stay in business. They simply take 10 percent of losing bets. If you win, no problem; you get your $110 back plus the $100 you won. Losers, however, will have to win their next two wagers to make a profit.

The actual figure for making a profit over the commission is approximately 53 percent, which means one must win 53 out of every 100 bets placed. That’s not as easy as it sounds. A professional sports bettor usually is very satisfied with a 60 percent win record. That’s only 7 wins over the break-even point per hundred wagers placed, but it will show a substantial profit.
