Try Not To Be Greedy

It is human nature to want to make a fast buck. But be mindful of the wise saying “there's no free lunch in this world”:
1) If the bookmakers are prepared to pay you #20,000 on a 'long shot' team for every #200 you wager, it is indeed very tempting. When an offer is 'too good to be true', it probably is. Bookmakers are in the business to make your money, not to dish out charity. They do not make mistakes. Such offers are traps to entice the greedy ones to part with their money. Of course, the ball is round. The 'long shot' team may win the match but the chance could be one in a million.

2) The payout for a combo bet is very tempting but the risks are also multiplied many folds. Unless you are an extremely lucky punter, you are unlikely to win often. For example, if you have six really good games, it is advisable to bet them as singles, say, #1,000 each instead of all six in a combo bet of #1,000. Because if one of your predictions go awry, you will lose your combo bet and get nothing for all the time and efforts researching. Five perfectly good predictions went to waste.
Do not be greedy. Stay clear of such bets. They will only erode your bank balance.
