Experience

Don't go betting on sports you know nothing about just because you have some free bets. It should sound obvoius, but the smartest bets you can make are the most informed ones. People might subscribe to betting on vibes alone, but that isn't a recipe for lasting success.

Gambling Highlights

Betting Highlight
Nothing compares to that first accumulator win as a university student that meant I would be shopping in the posh supermarket instead of the corner shop for the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of those 10,000/1 shots that never come in, but it still had two very late goals for something of a melee in the pub when it came in.
Casino Highlight
Joining a relatively high roller poker table at a brick-and-mortar casino late at night with £25 to offer the table and walking away with 10x that, much to the disappointment of the other players. Still the only time I've encountered a £50 note. Well, many of them to be more precise.
