This is a follow-up to my first post on Bodog. Well, it’s been a little over a week now since first signing up with Bodog. Overall, I have to say that I am impressed. The system is quite easy to use and odds of winning and payouts are much greater than that of stocks. Well, payouts at least. Winning is more 50/50 whereas stock prices can fluctuate by numerous variables.

Personally, I haven’t had much success. It’s been more of a rollercoaster ride for me. I generally do pretty well at picking the teams I believe are going to win; however, I find myself getting greedy and choosing other options in parlay bets to further my riches. Unfortunately, the greater the chance of reward - the more risk. Too often I have seen one bet on my parlay screw it up for all of my other bets.

I believe the trick with online sports betting is to bet on the “sure” thing. Naturally, there’s no such thing as a “sure” thing in gambling, but I mean to choose the team that you have absolute minimal chance of losing on - then do a Moneyline bet instead of a Point Spread. Now repeat this strategy on about 3-4 other teams and tally them up in a parlay bet. This is where you can find your best payouts. If you are new to it all, try betting small - like $5. There are numerous parlays in which I have been where the payout on $5 risk is more than $200. Where else can you get a return on your investment like that?
