I turned a $40 deposit to $270 by spot betting.
Take your time, pick your spots, patience is virtue. Make one bet per week or even one bet per month.
People who are new to gambling should only deposit $100 or less and bet very small. So they don't go bankrupt. Better to lose $100 than $10,000.
Avoid Sports that have more luck than skill, hockey and baseball because the moneyline is never at -500 or greater favorite.
Bet on Sports that do have -500 or greater favorites: football, basketball, mma, boxing and tennis. More skill than luck on these sports.
