It's obvious but it's the most important don't bet more than you may afford to lose.

The only advantage that punters have over the Bookies is the fact that we can choose not to bet, currently the bookies have to offer odds on nearly everything but we aren't required to take them. In the event that you don't see something worth betting on then save your hard earned money for another day. Self-discipline is everything.

There's absolutely no such thing as a dead cert. My mate once lost Ł500 on a 1/4 dead cert. He is a fool, do not be a fool!

Pick the team not the odds. It amazes me how conveniently swayed some of my mates are by the odds the bookies put up. You should pick your teams before you even check the odds and stick with them, whether consciously or not they are going to influence your decision.

If something looks too good to be true then it probably is.

Scrutinise bookmakers specials. Specials should be avoided, the typical rule being if the bookies are trying to encourage you to choose a team you should do the opposite and oppose them.

Team news, team news, team news. It is vital. If a teams main creative player or goalscorer are injured it seriously hampers there prospects of winning.

Oppose favourites, safe quality football bookmakers don't often get it wrong however they do get lazy. They frequently overrate teams because they now that men and women will pick them purely on reputation.
