Besides gambling to begin with, what are your thoughts?
Bad money management (chasing)?
Playing bad lines?
Playing with a tout?
Let's hear it RXers.
Money Management: NO (half of the experienced gamblers still suffer from this)
Bad Lines: No (half of experienced gamblers still bet them)
Playing with a tout: YES (This is how I really jumped into sports betting thinking I could make bank)
But Truthfully I think there are two mistakes that most new gamblers make.
1) Betting Favorites. A lot of the time newer gamblers are afraid to bet dogs.
2) Following ESPN and their commentators. (Of course ESPN knows best right? LOL)
Personally I used to bet a ton of Unders when I first got into betting sports, I always felt that I was ahead until I lost... I think that psyche may come into play with others.
