LESSON 12

IT'S INDEX BETTING FOR CHRISSAKES

Welcome to yet another very informative session of Sports Betting Lessons, this is Professor Jeffdstuff, the prof with the stuff, the one that gives you only useful stuff and I will feed you guys again with your daily dose of Football Betting 101 in preparation for this year's hardwood warfare in the NBA and the NCAA. Yup, you guessed it, you'll be unceremoniously schooled again.

Yesterday, I taught you guys what not to do and that's not to bet on everything. You see, if you bet on every sporting event available, not only will it be expensive, you have to be up 24-7 to monitor the games happening in the east and west coasts.

Of course, you'll eventually lose a butt-load of cash, not to mention this very precious word called sleep.

Today, I'll teach you guys something you think you know but subliminally think and do anyway. It's time to stop talking gibberish and start feeding your betting fetish. Ladies and gentlemen, today's Sports Betting 101.

It doesn't help the team.

You might me thinking, what the heck am I talking about, yes? Well, let me tell you what doesn't help the team, betting money.

Here's what I want to point out. Let's say you like the Miami Heat and you bet a hundred bucks on 'em. The Heat doesn't know that you placed a bet on them, all the more that you wagered a hundred smackers on their sorry asses.

You have to always remember that betting on a team you want to win does not necessarily mean that, by divine intervention, the wind will blow the basketball towards the hoop just because you have a bet on them.

All is always fair in the world of sports betting, and sometimes, it's so fair it's unfair.

What I'm trying to say is, you bet on a certain team because you think they will win. You don't bet on a team to think that you can help them win. Many bettors lose a ton of money that way. They won't know that wager of yours, no matter how huge it is. Maybe if you place the smallest of wagers, something that can be dubbed as a disgrace to wagering, maybe Shaq will know about it, look for you, and laugh at you.

Get it?

Got it?

Good.

That's another lecture from Sports Betting Lessons. Keep it here on these pages because I'll keep on letting the truth be told. This is Professor Jeffdstuff, signing off. Peace!
