Best Sports Betting Quotes Ever

Sports betting is becoming a legal phenomenon in the United States, if it isn't already. Admittedly, we still wait for all 50 states to join the party. Regardless, gambling has been an institution from the times of the Flintstones. Yep, Fred did some damage in Rock Vegas. Ever since, humans have enjoyed gambling and many imparted their wisdom on the subject, too. 

Dimers is always looking to help you bet better and smarter, mostly we help you out with the Best Books, Best Odds and picks in America. Don't worry, we're still going to do that, but we're givers, so here's a little more from your friendly neighborhood betting friend. 

"Hoping to recoup is what ruins the gambler." - Anonymous

This Irish proverb is as wise as it is old. Trying to chase your losses is one of the worst decisions you could make as a sports bettor. Like athletes, great bettors accept they make mistakes and lose. What separates them from the average Joe, is to put this aside and accept that it happens before moving forward unaffected. 

You will lose when betting, that's fact. You'll win, too – particularly if you use Dimers' Bet Hub. Ultimately, this is the natural cycle of sports betting. If you're going to be a Tom Brady-level bettor, then accept you'll throw the odd pick, and the next play doesn't need to be a Hail Mary.
