what is a safe way to start sports betting?
 

i have been playing poker for a while now, i follow football and usually look at games based on spread, but i have avoided betting on it because i don't know [censored] about what you bet based on beyond the surface. My question is what is the right way to approach starting this and not being a fish?

FAQ.

bet on as many games as you want for a month, but only for $1 each...

at the end of the month, see where you are, and multiply by whatever you think you'd normally be betting...

read, read, read. unless you're talking about making this your sole income, you won't have enough time to completely break down everything. thankfully, people around this forum do...use them.

good luck.

[/ QUOTE ]Read FAQ. Learn to drink heavily. Do not skip the second step. You will need if for the times when you are leading by +6 with 2 minutes to go and you team has the ball and then you team inexplicably decides to throw and it is intercepted and it goes the other way for a TD.
