Most times we are caught in between placing our bets on our favourite teams to win and not there present form, this action according to analysis shows that it's one of the reasons some persons don't win a sport bet, no matter how hard they try, a team that's not in form or getting the results shouldn't be on your sports betting slip, because they might continue the poor run of form and hurt your ticket, a friend once adviced me never to put my favourite team on my ticket, unless they are in form, am a Manchester United fan but most times I bet against them as long as my ticket is concerned I don't have a favourite team.
This is the mistake most people make in betting, don't bet with such emotion that your club that your that's not in their peak will win when you already know that it is impossible for such to happen as you planned, gambling should not be a game of favouritism, being a fan of a particular football team does not matter, what matters is current form the team you are selecting to win a bet.
That's why I don't bet on my team, I only bet on other teams, even though am convinced that my favourite team will win, I wouldn't still bet on them because it will look like am supporting a team at the same time waiting for my bet to end as I expected it and thats not bet in reality, as a gambler there are things you should avoid doing and those things are chosing a team based on you affiliation with them, lookout for current performance, league position, number of games won before you can bet.
