YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO SPORTS BETTING IN THE STATES

For me, sports betting started by entering a sportsbook and turning a $5 bill into $1000.

As you can tell, it was a wager slightly left field and one not expected to bring home the Saturday night Buds.

Beginners luck? Yes, most probably; I had a hunch on how four football games would turn out and, on this occasion, it proved fruitful. No doubt, you can share experiences of friends or family getting the better of the sportsbooks at the first time of asking also.

Yet, while a gut feeling does come off from time-to-time, truth be told, it’s quite seldom this happens.

Therefore, if you’re just kicking off your career in sports betting, it’s best to have a firm grip on what and what not to expect before parting with your bills.

Knowledge of your favourite sport is clearly essential. But as you'll learn this only amounts to a small piece of your armory

In my experience at least, a sound understanding of the industry itself is essential in, not just improving your chances of making dollars on a one-off basis, but doing so over the course of time too.

So, let’s waste no more time in introducing the ‘Beginner’s Guide to U.S Sports betting’, a gift from us at Gamblers United, to you, the reading millions, seeking tips on the world’s fastest-growing betting industry.

Firstly, this guide will assist you in getting to grips with the basics of sports betting. A beginner setting out to achieve a new skill or undertake a new hobby requires the right information at the right time.
