    As a student myself (have a job though) my best advice would be to bet small and bet with what you can afford to lose.;) No tips from me exact what I just said and you'll find that the best.

    You'll lose every cent you have unless you put in alot of work into it. If you're trying to make an income from it then you'd have to be exceptional, Which as someone who sounds new to the game then I'd assume you aren't as it takes alot of time! Whatever you do, Don't go following "tipsters" or you'll lose everything twice as fast. They're brutal!

    Study, Study & More Study = Profit (If you've some luck)

    Everyone has a few things they like betting on, be it german football, or formula one, or following market moves in horses or dogs. Whatever you feel is your strong suit, work on it. Put 20 euro in 5 different bookies and exchanges. do some research, know your markets, and then put 1 euro bets on what you think are likely winners. do this consistently every day for a week or two, and see how you fare after that

    You may be rubbish, you may be brilliant, but start small and see how it goes. Maybe you are good at picking handicap gaa winners, then go with it. If one of your preferred markets or bet types looks profitable, then lodge your bank roll and get involved properly.

    What ever you do remember, there are no sure fire hints or tips, and nothing is a banker. Find a system, and stick to it, you'll have good days and bad weeks, but if you know what your doing and your system works, then you'll make money

    You reap what you so. Bookies are rich men because of the plods who walk in and put a tenner on united to win and rooney to score first, or the second favourite to win the bumper. find something you are as smart or smarter than the bookie at and try make it pay. It may not work but give it a go anyways

    OP what would you be betting on?
    I myself find if I'm to make money,I need to spend about 2 hours the night before and I choose only one horse to back. The way I lose money is if I stand in the bookies for the afternoon and do 5 or 6 bets. I'd reccommend you to do one a day that you'd be fairly confident about,and yes you're bound to have losers. But don't go throwing it onto some favourite in the next race then or something,hold out for the next day's bet.

    you need to spend a lot of time watching and studying what you intend to bet on

    you need to be very selective and never chase your losses regardless
    of how you feel after a bad loss
    there will always be another day.
    when i followed horses religiously i couldve made a little profit
    following only the ones i felt very strongly about and that wouldve
    meant maybe 2 bets max per week but i wasnt disciplined enough
    and was trying to get doubles trebles, lucky15s up all the time.
    I never chase these days but that wasnt always the case :)

    Horses high up the handicap (top 20%) in handicaps that are over 5/1 and who have won over the distance previously in races where no more than 30% of the field have won over the distance.
