Is there a sports betting system that actually works? Is there a sure way to win your bet every single time? Most experts agree that while some systems that require analytical knowledge do give bettors an edge, there is no system that is going to beat the house advantage every time.

Many people on the Internet are advertising a sports betting system for sale that is guaranteed to make a bettor successful every time. Unfortunately, the bulk of these are scams and the rest of them make highly unrealistic claims.

Sometimes, the system relies on the gambler’s fallacy which basically states that you can win by betting the opposite way of recent outcomes. While this might work, sometimes, in casino gambling, it almost never works in sports betting. Sports betting uses statistics and relies on people-not balls and roulette wheels and cards. For that reason, learning to understand the game is more important than trying to figure out probability.

One sports betting system that has brought success on occasion is the Martingale System. With this system, a bettor doubles their bet after a loss. The idea behind this is that if you double your bet, you will win enough to eventually cover your losses, as well as one more unit. The problem with this system is that you can lose a couple of bets in a row and eventually run out of money to bet on.

Plus, in most cases, the ratio of money lost to money bet is still pretty close to the house advantage. Spending money on a sports betting system is almost always a bad idea. Sometimes, you might hear that the system works in real life, but not when you use it on the computer. More than likely, it’s just not going to work. Why? Because if there was a guaranteed method that brought wins every time, then everyone would be using it already and the case would be closed.

With all of the people that bet on sports online, and all of the people that visit Las Vegas and lose millions of dollars every year, a surefire betting system would have taken off years ago and saved many people a lot of heartache – as well as won everyone a good chunk of cash. Sadly, this has not happened.

Most of the time, the websites selling the sports betting system will only be up for a little while and then it will disappear, giving you an idea of how reliable it really was to begin with. You should also be wary of sites that claim not to be betting systems, but instead want to sell you “tips.” Any tips worth using can already be found in books at your local library or on the Internet for free.

So is there a good sports betting system that works? Yes, there is. The best system is one that you create yourself. By analyzing statistics, becoming knowledgeable about the sport that you are betting on, and keeping up with trends and lines you can help even out your own odds. If you are going to spend money on something, then investing in a program that sends up updates on weather conditions and players’ injuries is a lot more beneficial that spending money on a betting system that will probably not work.
