You should familarize yourself with a game before betting
on it, think about nothing but the game, get into each teams heads, get their perspective for the game, example, what would
this game mean to them, how badly do they want to win, how are they playing and feeling about themselves lately, are they
sound physically, are any players hurting.
Get right into the game mentally, put on some soothing
music, have a drink, smoke a joint, whatever it takes, you need to be relaxed, once you are relaxed you will get right into
it, just from looking at the game and players you will get fresh new perspectives of what could happen, you will envision
possible scenarios.
That brings us to envisioning a game, see the team you
like winning it, think about how they will win, go over the players playing in your mind, if you can't see it happening
it won't, if your team can't win in pretend mode bet on something else.
If you feel yourself getting fuzzy and the visions aren't clear, go take a walk outside, get some air, refresh
yourself and try again.
