In Spain there's not tradition of bets whatsoever, in fact betting was forbidden during the dictatorship of Franco.
I entered the world of betting a year ago, with 30€ and one year later I have 33.75€. I promised myself that I wouldn't put more money than those 30 € if I lost that money.
I've made my maths and I think that actually winning in football bets is difficult.
What do you think? what are your experiences on this? do you think it's easier to lose money rather than winning ? any tips?
