How to Bet on Sports for Beginners: 10 Tips to Know
So, if you’re looking to up your betting game as a beginner, there are some things to know. Whilst we generally improve over time as we learn from our mistakes, there are some fundamentals that should know right off the bat:
Take advantage of the offers
You’re probably already aware of this one, because it’s often what lures in new bettors. But, taking advantage of the best bookie offers will give you a free advantage and it would be nonsensical to not use them. However, take your time to understand their T&Cs, because some have wagering requirements and others do not.
Finding the best bookmaker for you
If you’re betting regularly, you need to have a good bookie. This isn’t a clear-cut matter of which is best though, so experiment around with what fits your needs. Think about which markets do you want to bet on, what customer service options are available, if you like the website UI, and how the odds compare to the others.
Understanding odds
You need to know how odds work. You’ll get better with practice, but at the very least, research about fractional, decimal, and American odds.
Bankroll management
This is the most important tip. Bankroll management is about not just setting yourself deposit limits in the context of timeframes, but never betting X% more than what you have in your account balance.
Research
You need to research before you make bets. Some people like to go off gut feeling and current knowledge, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check a team’s form before making a bet, for example.
Diversifying your bets
Never place the same bet every week because “at some point it will come in”. Placing a variety of betting types in a variety of ways can help you spread your risk and gauge which performs best.
Know when to walk way
Emotions are your biggest threat when betting. Generally, people walk away when winning whilst they gingerly chase losses. But, this makes no sense. If you have a winning streak, why not try and keep it up (within reason, perhaps cutting down on the stake). And if you’re having a rough period, take a break, don’t angrily try to recoup losses.
Be mindful of the bets you win and lose
It’s worth checking your bet history now and then to see how you’re doing and what has been working. This is a good way to learn from mistakes but is rarely done by punters. You’ll likely discover that those crazy big accumulators haven’t been paying off.
Knowing when to cash out
Cashing out is a difficult topic, but one thing we know is the house edge exists in the odds they offer for cashing out – you’re losing out on value. It’s not a good idea to cash out every time, but now and then is okay if you have good reason to.
Taking breaks
Having a weekend off can not only help you re-evaluate your current strategy but it can also break bad habits. You need to know that you’re not relying on betting, and next week you can come back with a fresh mind.

ScatterKings Chooses Internet Vikings’ Hosting Solutions in Europe

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the European and U.S. iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced a new partnership with ScatterKings, an iGaming studio that creates high-performance slot content, helping operators lead their markets across regulated jurisdictions worldwide.
As part of this collaboration, Internet Vikings is supplying ScatterKings with a tailored hosting infrastructure that includes both bare metal servers and VMware cloud solutions in Sweden and Malta.
The collaboration came about as ScatterKings looked to move away from its previous hyperscale setup in favour of a more flexible hosting environment. The company was seeking a partner that could provide greater customization and more responsive customer service.
“We’ve been genuinely impressed with the level of support from Internet Vikings,” said Steven Batchelor-Manning, CTO of ScatterKings. “They’ve helped us avoid the usual hosting headaches and given us a rock-solid base to move fast. As we continue to grow, we see them as a strategic partner for the road ahead—one that can keep pace with our ambitions.”
Internet Vikings is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings, noted the strategic fit: “ScatterKings needed a hosting solution that could adapt to their specific operational requirements. We’re committed to supporting their growth with infrastructure that evolves alongside their business.”

Reflex Gaming unleashes The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ with exclusive Game Mechanic

Reflex Gaming, the UK’s largest independently owned omni-channel game supplier, is heading deep into ancient ruins with the launch of The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™, a visually stunning, Aztec-themed slot that introduces the company’s exclusive Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic.
This 6×4, 20-payline title combines mystery, tension and progressive gameplay in a setting inspired by the legends of Montezuma. At the heart of the experience is the Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic, a persistent pick-based mechanic that activates when two Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. Players are transported to a 30-segment treasure map where they can uncover Free Spins, cash prizes, Jackpots and Sticky Wild bonus upgrades. Unlike traditional features, the map carries over between sessions, allowing players to build progress over time. Crucially, Sticky Wilds uncovered on the map are banked and carried into the next Free Spins bonus triggered via the map itself, creating layered anticipation and meaningful long-term engagement.
Free Spins can also be triggered directly via 3 or more bonus symbols. Once active, players collect additional Scatter symbols to spin a bonus wheel that can award multipliers, more Sticky Wilds, or one of four fixed jackpots. With a maximum win potential of over 5000x, the feature is rich with excitement.
Adding to the thrill is the Montezuma Mystery Prize, a powerful feature triggered when players land full stacks of Montezuma symbols with the special Cursed Idol symbol. The game’s cinematic presentation shifts into high gear as the cursed idol unleashes a dramatic win event that transforms the reels and ramps up intensity.
The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ also supports Golden Bet, which doubles the chance of triggering Free Spins, and includes Bonus Buy functionality in supported markets, ensuring the game caters to a wide range of player preferences and regulatory environments.
Commenting on the release, Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “We’re incredibly proud of this one. The game introduces something truly unique with our Treasure Hunt game mechanic. It’s Reflex-built, Reflex-owned, and designed to deliver genuine progression and player investment over time. It’s a mechanic that remembers where you left off, and that’s something players will come back for.
“So far, the game has gained exceptional feedback from operators. We believe it’s a standout release for 2025, and we can’t wait to see how the market responds.”
The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ is available from 16 September 2025 powered by Yggdrasil Gaming.
