Bet on the Future

Depending on how much you follow sports or sports betting I suggest you place a bet that will last a whole entire season. This bet is called a future bet. You can pick any team or athlete from any sport and bet that they will win during a duration of a season. I find this to be fun and keeps me entertained for a whole season instead of one game.

Picking a team or an athlete to win something is very difficult. What you are doing is predicting the future and becoming a mind reader. What I do is pick a team that has not won in a while. Even though you think they should have won already in previous years.

One way to go about this is you go to sport book in Vegas or online and start looking for odds on the athlete or team you want to win. When the Lakers were good and Tiger never lost the odds were even money or 2-1 at best. Picking these people or teams is okay its safe because they are the favorite. But in my opinion I don't like this bet. You want to win big money you have to take an up incomer or a team that is on the rise. I call these athletes or teams sleepers. Sleepers are teams that people sort of know but don't think they can go all the way and win. The sleepers is the route to go because they usually get the best odds and you feel that you knew something that know one else knew.
