We have to say that we are partial to conservative play and an understandable money management system. That system had to be sustainable and fit you playing style. We came across an artcile by Tim Trueshel on Ron Raymond's always useful Phoenix Sports. There are many ways to handicap a game but only one way to wager - with a cool and dispassionate head.

Some of the key points in Tim's article:

* To really be successful it sports betting it is extremely important to have a goal.
* Picking winners is hard but betting winners is even harder
* Approach the season as a long term endeavor and expect tremendous derivation from week to week.
* Having a funded bankroll of at least 40 units alleviates much of the pressure when the ball bounces the other way and you drop a few in a row or suffer through an 0-5 day.
