I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at sports betting.  I love football and I follow both the NFL and college ball pretty closely.  I’ve been keeping track of how I would do if I would have placed bets the last three months.  I actually didn’t do too badly!  I even came out a bit ahead. 

I definitely found that straight betting worked better for me.  I would have actually lost money on parlays.  I also learned my lesson about putting all my money on what I thought was a sure thing.  I’m excited to try the real thing but I’m glad that I took a few months to just kind of pretend I was doing it to learn what I was doing. 

I already pay close attention to NFL picks and I read all of the handicapping information that I can get my hands on.  Now, I just have to find some good online sportsbooks and choose one.  I’m going to start out pretty small.  Actually, I will probably stay pretty small!  I just want this to be fun and I don’t want to spend even a minute stressing about it.  I just need to make sure that the sportsbook that I choose is reliable and reputable.
