Gambling tips are everywhere and bookmakers often offer their own tips on how to profit from betting – however, I have one gambling tip that you will never hear from any bookmaker.
The football season is less than six weeks away and the dust is now starting to settle on player and manager transfers. We are now able to look at the season with a little bit of confidence. Only a little bit since football can spring so many surprises – my gambling tip today relies on there being a surprise or two during the season.
If you were to go back twelve months, Hull, Stoke and West Bromwich lead the betting when it came to relegation. At the moment, Hull, Birmingham and Burnley lead the beating for relegation.
As we now know, Hull and Stoke both survived relegation and stayed in the Premier League – I wonder how many people backed them for relegation? Did you?
Here is my tip. If you want to back one of these favourites for relegation, consider laying your bets with Paddy Power. Paddy has this habit of paying out on bets well before the event is over. Those punters that backed Stoke for relegation with Paddy Power would have been laughing come season end.
Paddy paid out on the Stoke when there was at least six weeks of the competition left – Stoke were not even in the last three when he paid out. Of course this backfired and Stoke missed relegation. Those that backed them still collected.
The lesson is to know your bookmakers. What do they do, how do they act, and what sort of practices do they follow? In this case, Paddy Power has a history of paying out early when they feel the result is a foregone conclusion. If their payout backfires they wear the loss – not you.
If you can find a little weakness in an online bookmakers armour – use it and with luck you may profit from it. Like I said, I don’t think any bookmaker would give you that gambling tip.
