Sports Betting and the Gap of Uncertainty

When it gets down to it, the only sure fire way to make money consistently out of gambling is on sports betting and poker. Of course many people claim that poker isn’t real gambling, it is really a game of skill just as is chess, though if you bet in chess that is still gambling isn’t it?

Anyway, back on topic, the reason why professional gamblers make a living out of sports betting is because they bet entirely with their brains and not with their heart. Sports betting is a skill that can be learned and improved upon, in fact it can continue to be improved upon throughout a lifetime.

Everything in life and the universe is based on imperfect information. We can even justify that statement by referring to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principal, but that would be boring. The point is, however, that every decision we make from choosing a job or a spouse is a gamble; we can never be sure of the outcome.

What the clever sports better does is use all his knowledge and all the information that he can glean from his research to narrow the gap of uncertainty, and when he is able to narrow that gap more than the bookmaker is able to, he can consistently make bets with a positive expectation. He won’t win every time, but he will win more times than he will lose. Try your luck today at http://betting.betfair.com.

In future posts we will develop this concept a little further, but for now here is a picture of Werner Heisenberg who looks as if he is having a good day at the races.
