Sports Betting Portfolio Online
The subject of financial investment is in such a wide and varied area. We all know (or should know), that investing surplus funds is a sound idea; nothing new there. If you make the decision to invest, what investment options do you have?
1. Property – unit, Guest Posting house, holiday house, commercial property, a managed property investment fund etc sportsbetting.
2. Shares – stock options, different stock investment sectors such as small capitalization mining companies, international or local share funds etc.
3. Fixed Interest – bonds, convertible notes, fixed deposits etc
The above are your major investment categories in which you may be looking to invest.
These are the ‘traditional’ type of investments however there are other investment areas which are just as, or more profitable than your main ‘stable’ investment options. These alternative investment options include tree crops, vintage cars, wines, art, other collectables and also sports betting and horse racing!
As the majority of people do not understand the betting industry, they generally scoff at the idea of sports/horse race betting as a legitimate investment option. That is because they have only been exposed to one side of the business, the entertainment side. Of course gambling is generally painted in an ordinary light in the media where it is linked to family breakdowns and suicides. The perception among those who haven’t been enlightened is that if you bet often, you must have a gambling problem!
“If the truth be known many who play the stock market are the biggest gamblers around.”
They are never labeled gamblers, nor do they believe that they are gambling because their gambling vehicle is not horses but shares in companies. They like to think of their random and uneducated decisions as being an ‘investment’ rather than a bet. In this light, it is OK to lose money because ‘it is an investment’. Many are simply betting on the price of a share, just the same as an uneducated sports bettor who makes a decision on the likely outcome of a game.
The purpose of this article is to show that gambling can be a serious and profitable business as well as a fun pastime. I decided to write this article after speaking with a good mate of mine who happens to be a financial advisor to ‘high net worth’ clients. You may be surprised and interested to note that he sees sports betting as playing a very important role in his investment portfolio. He knows very little about sports but he sees it as a very serious business and he follows our selections ‘to the letter’. (Not that he would tell his clients that he invested in sport as I am sure they just wouldn’t ‘get it’.)
