1. Understand who you are betting against

This is the single biggest key to success as a pro punter. You have to be very clear as to who you are betting against. You could be the 2nd best poker player in the world but if you are going up against the best player in the world you will lose in the long run.

You could be the 1000th best player but if you are playing against the 1500th best player you are likely to win in the long run.

The same applies to sports betting. Certain bookmakers are much sharper than others. Similarly, you can be brilliant at what you do but if you are going up against huge betting syndicates then you have to be clear as to how you have an edge.

Let me give you an example. It would have been 7 years ago and I had very few outs for pre off golf betting apart from Betfair/Betdaq. I ended up placing five figure bets with Mustardbet most weeks as it was the only place that would take a bet.

I was lucky (?) enough to come out on top but in hindsight it just wasn’t a very shrewd position to find myself in. Mustardbet had the likes of Matthew Trenaille there at the time. Mustardbet were the largest golf syndicate in the world pretty much.
