If you talk to an expert on investment, they will tell you the key to succeeding is diversifying your assets. There is a similar model in sports betting. While you should stick with a method of betting (live, prop, spread, etc.) that works for you, you never want to rely on a team or player to carry your wagers. Start with low-value risks and become more comfortable with the “different” and, once you have gained more experience, start to increase your investment.
