If there was ever a key to success in gambling this is it. This is the golden nugget that separates those that wade in mediocrity and those that don't. This is the gem that if followed will set you apart from all those other weekend warriors who claim to be Guru's and have the "Lock". The funny thing is this is something that is so simple and you probably do on a everyday basis already. The thing is you don't associate it with gambling. So are you ready to receive this little gem of knowledge? Do you think you are ready to become a true gambler? Well let's get on with it.

The first thing you have to realize is that no matter how good you are, no matter how sure you are about your cards or your picks, you WILL lose. That is right, you will lose. You may have a friend that has a sister that knows a guy that worked with the roommate of this guy who is riding pine for some team and he says that the game is going to go this way or that but in the end.you will lose. That is part of gambling. You win some and you lose some but if you truly want to enjoy gambling and make a little bit of money doing it you have to except that fact of life. If you can accept that then you are truly ready to receive to golden rule of gambling. STAY WITHIN YOUR LIMITS!

That may seem simple and you may be saying to yourself " I know that", but think about it for a second. As a avid sports gambler I have lost my fair share of money over the years but it wasn't till I started handicapping that I began making money over the long haul. And it was not because of my client's fees but because of my own personal bets. See, I was talking to a fellow handicapper and avid poker player friend before one of our monthly poker night get together and the subject of how much I had made or lost over the past few years came up. The truth is I didn't know. I couldn't even estimate. I was pretty sure I was at least braking even or maybe up a little but I still wasn't sure. He looked at me kind of oddly and asked me why I bother keeping track of all these players, teams, trends, and information when I don't even keep track of my own plays? I was dumb founded. Here I had been researching factors that played into my personal gambling picks and I couldn't even begin to tell someone the one most important piece of information related to my gambling. That was a wake up call. Think about it. Do you honestly keep track of how much you wager and how much you win or lose? Do you keep track what sports you make the most money on and what ones are your "lose leaders"? If you don't then you will never truly make any money gambling.

The information that one gathers on their own gambling trends and habit could be the most vital information in making ones picks or wagers. For example, I use to gamble a lot on baseball but after I started keeping track of my personal records it struck me that I wasn't doing half as good as I thought. Matter of fact, I was losing money over the course of a complete season. Knowing that I lowered the amount of my wagers and the number of wagers I placed. Sure I still gamble on baseball but I don't lose half as much as I did before. Keeping track of your personal plays also allows you to cut through the ego and really see just what sports you can handicap and profit from. Me personal, I can handicap baseball but not half as good as I can handicap basketball or football. By knowing that and by knowing my personal track record within certain sports I can place my wagers, still have fun, and stay within my limits. The amount of money I have saved from tracking my personal wagers is enormous. If your going to take the time to research a bunch of athletes why not take the time to track the guy that is throwing down his hard earned cash.
