5. Not doing research

Luck is luck and every once in a while, you might be up for bit. However, the secret to long-term sports betting or betting, in general, is learning the strategies involved in the process. Whether that be googling best betting strategies, asking friends, or even finding a mentor, you need to do some studying before jumping in. 

Otherwise, you might be left in tears when your team comes up short and you’re out who knows how much money.
