How to make money on sports betting

Of all online earnings, sports betting accounts for 50%, ahead of casinos, lotteries and poker. There are the following explanations for this. First of all, time. Unlike casinos and poker, you don’t have to waste your time getting the coveted ruble. All you need to do is bet, at the same time, to make money in casinos and poker, you will spend 2 - 12 hours daily playing. In sports betting, you don’t even have to watch the event, except for the excitement.

Secondly, profit. Having a certain bank, you can earn 20% or more per month (although you can also waste money; in betting, just like in any game for money, losses are inevitable). This is not bad at all, however, you should have a bank account of 300 - 500 dollars. If it is less, it is better not to bet on sports. Here the choice is in favor of poker. Next is the house margin. In casinos and lotteries the margin is quite large. From 10% to 50%, at rates from 5 to 15%. As for the casino, it is, in principle, very difficult to win at it (with the exception of card games).

Make money on bets using someone else's head

Ability to use someone else's head. Both casinos and poker offer a huge amount of educational materials and all sorts of strategies, but you need to read, process and use them all yourself. In sports betting, you easily take the information of more experienced players and use it yourself and directly.

Now let's talk about how the bookmaker works and why it is possible to make money on sports betting. After all, many people assume that it is impossible to win money from bookmakers...

So, what do bookmakers represent today?

Initially, the tasks of the “old” bookmakers were to accept bets on a certain event and pay the winners their sum in proportion to the participants’ contributions. Let's say Federer plays Nadal. 10 people bet $10 on the Swiss, another 20 people bet $30 on the Spaniard. Nadal wins and each of those who bet on the “major” bull will win 5 dollars ($100 is the total money bet on Federer, he lost, respectively, divided by 20 people who bet on Nadal). If the amounts of the initial bet on the Spaniard were not equal, then the payout would be in proportion to the original bet.

This situation was not very interesting for the players, because... no one knew how much he would receive in the event of a positive outcome of the bet on the event. Because of this, coefficients appeared. The essence of the coefficients is clear, so the coefficient. for Nadal's victory from the previous example will be assessed at 1.5. Those. By placing a bet of $30, you will receive 30 + 15 and everything will be clear to you. But in this case, the bookmaker turns from a passive platform into a full-fledged player in the sports betting market who risks his money. As a result, they began to pay great attention to the calculation of bookmaker odds, hiring the best specialists for these positions.

But here, too, not everything is simple. No one will bet on the Federer-Nadal match with odds for victory of 1.5 and 1.2. This is very cool, which means that the odds must be adequate and interesting in order for players to choose them as bets. What’s also interesting is that there are not many events with equal odds. Most often there are clear favorites and underdogs. Federer - Stakhovsky, where is the ref. the winning odds will be 1.03 and 30. It is unlikely that this event will attract many players...

And this is where new market trends come into force. Attracting as many sports bettors as possible. Everyone is interested - professionals, gamblers, idiots, etc. People who play all possible sports betting strategies. Because The bookmaker only cares about the margin, the essence of which is to pinch off a small (and sometimes not very) piece from each sports bet. And the essence of the film. at the moment it comes down not to a clear victory for the bookmaker, but to the division of players into two camps: for and against the event. And it is desirable that these camps be equal in size regarding payments. So if the bet on Federer is $100 at odds of 2.5, then $150 should be bet on Nadal, no more and no less. So that payments are not made from the pocket of the bookmaker.

How to make money betting on sports with dotennis

In general, sports betting is an interesting area that brings a positive effect to almost all market participants. Wow. Let's take a look at the scam forecasters. Such false cappers are very profitable for bookmakers; they attract new players to the market. They are also beneficial to other participants, because It is from them that we earn our hard-earned money on bets. As for super cappers, of which there are not many, they are also good for bookmakers, precisely because they attract players. Well, if players win on sports betting, they can always be banned. Therefore, we strongly recommend playing exclusively on Pinnacle and Betfair (accounts will not be cut at these bookmakers).

If you choose sports betting as a way to earn money

Look for a sports forecast service to receive information as we wrote. This is extremely important. Moreover, it is not just one line that is of interest, but the description of the choice of line. Avoid sites with a large number of bets per month. 30 - 40 bets is the limit that a person can make. Don't believe in 200 - 1000% per month. This is just unreal. Also, do not pay for one-time forecasts, only temporary subscriptions for a month or a year. Don't look for high odds. The option of increasing the bank eight times in an evening is utopian...

In general, good luck to you in this difficult matter!

Is it possible to make money on bets?
My experience
Your opinions

I’m interested in what place do bets occupy in your life, how much time do you devote to this business and do they bring you any kind of permanent income? What is this for you: just entertainment, excitement or a source of passive income? In your opinion, is it really possible to make money from betting? And if so, what strategies do you follow and what is their effectiveness?

I hope that there will be those who will unsubscribe in the comments below and share their thoughts and experiences. In the meantime, I will share mine.

Engage in betting I started seriously three and a half years ago. I first became interested in this matter in my first years at university, when during important matches of the Champions League, some of my classmates came with tickets from bookmakers for these matches and discussed those on which they had bet. I was immediately interested in this business, since my specialty is of an intellectual nature, and I have always been looking for sources of additional income that can be acquired simply thanks to my knowledge in a certain field. And additional income was really necessary, since a lot of money was spent on studying and living in the capital, and my family was not wealthy. Therefore, I often asked those involved in this to explain to me the rules of betting, the meaning of certain symbols in the bookmaker’s lines, but initially everything seemed like a “dark forest”. Before I decided to look into this issue seriously and independently via the Internet.

Very quickly I began to delve into all the intricacies of the betting sphere and it turned out that all the designations in the bookmakers’ lines are extremely simple and logical. For a long time I had the idea of ​​really trying to get involved in betting, but I didn’t dare, because we all know what a stereotypical vision of this kind of activity is in the countries of the post-Soviet space. In this regard, I also had doubts whether this was a scam, or a siphoning of money, since by making predictions for matches without placing bets, everything worked out so well and it seemed to me that everyone could easily win a lot of money from the bookmaker. However, if everything is so simple, then why have I never heard of many people doing this and having a permanent income from betting.

So I put it off for a long time, but one fine day I finally decided to deposit my first 100 hryvnia into the online bookmaker and place a bet with odds close to two. Well, as they say, beginners are always lucky, and the first bet turned out to be winning, but it was with a big “validol”. This gave me a lot of hope. The next couple of bets also went through, but then one by one the bets began to fall away, and often the teams began to present surprises in matches. It turned out that it is easier to guess events when you don’t place bets, but when you do, something seems to go wrong on purpose. At this moment you understand that luck is one of the key factors for success in betting, and since in life I am not lucky in winning matters, the idea of ​​​​taking up this hobby began to disappear. In addition, through a series of victories and defeats, I successfully lost my first deposit.

That day I decided that it was a bad idea and I needed to forget about it. However, in my head I keep thinking about what went wrong, where I miscalculated and which bet option has a better chance of winning. I stopped betting, after which all my predictions for matches began to come true again, which annoyed me quite a bit, since by not betting, I was missing out on good profits. This thought haunted me.

While I was wondering if I should try betting again, I started spending more time watching matches of different European clubs, since I had not been an avid football fan before. In any sport, I always had favorite teams or players, so I always watched only matches with their participation, rooting for my own, but did not pay enough attention to others, which is unacceptable in the world of betting, because when betting on a game you need to know the level, potential , players and form of the opposing team. Initially, I bet on those clubs that I supported and knew, not on purpose, of course, I was just not familiar with the capabilities of other teams. Even then it became clear to me that this was the wrong approach, the same as betting only on your favorite teams. I have always been objective and balanced in all matters, never giving in to passion. I knew my purpose for betting and tried to find an approach that would bring positive results. For this you had to study.

I started following everyone football clubs leading Premier Leagues and, in some leagues, some lower division teams. I also tried to get into tennis and basketball. I read the forecasts and analyzes of sports experts, I began to grasp the strong and weak sides of certain teams, get to know footballers with great potential, their skills and the potential of their contribution to the development of the game of their club.

Watching the matches was not enough, as I understood the importance of developing my betting strategy, so I started reading articles by famous handicappers regarding the principles and discipline of betting, and also became familiar with various betting strategies. I did one of the most important actions, which is key in any lesson - I thoroughly mastered the information.

While I was working on informatization, I started betting again, trying various strategies that I managed to learn about on the Internet. Each of them has a place to exist, each can be profitable in a certain period. I tried completely different bets: on totals, on outcomes, with handicaps, special offers. Unfortunately, every strategy and betting style is hit by a crisis at one point. And you, having suffered a significant series of defeats, see no other way but to switch to a different strategy. So I moved from one to another, to the third, fourth, and again returned to the original one. That’s when I realized that there was no perfect strategy that would work like clockwork and really bring in a constant income.

Over these one and a half to two years, I won, lost, withdrew small winnings (just as I bet small amounts), which allowed me to make some additional purchases (which created a positive effect from betting); however, then he made deposits again, started all over again, and as such there was no effect “ big win" did not have. Initially, I wasn’t looking for it, I thought through betting I could earn an extra hundred or two for simple daily needs. However, over time, I wanted more, but the analysis of wins and losses over the years when calculating showed that I was actually in the red. The minus was small (about 1-1.5 thousand hryvnia), which did not upset me, since, in my opinion, for acquiring any experience you will pay your price one way or another, and mine turned out to be not that big. At the same time, I understood that the final indicator is a minus in the long run, so it would not be possible to build passive additional income from betting. I had to accept this fact and look for other ways.

The need for passive independent income increased at the moment when I set myself a new high goal, the achievement of which requires a lot of funds that no salary today (taking into account all monthly living expenses and needs) is capable of providing. In this regard, I tried to look for new schemes and ways of making money, which in the end did not suit me, but played a role in my approach to betting and its perception.

Motivation that came from outside also played an important role in returning to betting. From everything I read and watch, I always try to take something useful or motivating. I get a lot of interesting thoughts from feature films, which are often based on real events, and screens various options acquiring income quickly.

I immediately made an analogy with betting. After all, there are always good bets on the line for any match with odds of 2 or close to it. This prompted me to divide my bank into several parts and play principle of compensation. That is, if I lose mine fixed rate, then I do the next one with coefficient. 2, but the bet size must be twice the size of the lost bet. Thus, if you win a new bet, you return the amount that you lost, and in addition, you also gain a profit by exactly the same amount as the size of the first lost bet. This strategy turned out to be quite good, but I soon lost my entire bank when the “ black line"(which always happens to everyone). And so, after 4 losses in a row, I simply did not have enough money for a new bet with compensation for the lost ones. As a result, I had to put this strategy on hold.

At the same time, it is quite wealthy and profitable, but for this you need to have a lot of funds available, then you can guarantee that you not only will not lose your invested funds, but will also significantly increase them. I think this strategy is ideal for wealthy people.

This moment, the thoughts and logic of the main character made me pay Special attention study of probability theory in the field of betting. No matter how much you would like to, you won’t lose all the time. And if you decide what to bet on, then you need to calculate the percentage probability of a certain event occurring in the match.

Many other films and literature with similar themes helped shape basic principles of betting . They are: excellent knowledge in a particular sport; discipline; lack of excitement; calmness and patience; development of competent bank management (which will leave only a 10% chance that the bank will be merged); fixed rate; ban on Va-Bank bets; focus on profit at a distance; calculation of the probability of a bet (chances) and the feasibility of its application; application of statistics.

Only by adhering to these principles can I really slowly but surely make a profit from sports betting.

Successful betting does not allow you to take into account only your awareness in a certain sport, on a team, etc. Also taken into account statistics must be included , which works, perhaps, more often than any information about an upcoming match. In addition, it is necessary take into account current trends and team motivations , and assess the chances of a particular event occurring . AND all these elements inseparable, their needs to be assessed in symbiosis , since scoring on one parameter makes your choice vulnerable.

For example, you may know that Barcelona is one of the top teams in the world, it has star players (Messi, Neymar, Suarez, etc.), and you once followed the games of this team and thought that she has no equal, but a year later, waiting for the return match of the Champions League between Barça and Juventus, you bet on the victory of the Catalans and at least two goals scored, while at the same time wondering why the bookmaker gives such big bets on these events coefficients. Based on your available information, you are missing statistics that indicate that the team is currently in crisis with execution, that Barça failed to score against Juventus in the first match, and that the opponents are in excellent shape and is playing his best defensive game this year. By missing statistical indicators and current trends, you are deliberately miscalculating the chances of the team you are going to bet on.

On bets Total Under (TM) I also never bet, since practice shows that if I bet on the TM in a match where, logically and with all the analysis, there should not be more than 2-3 goals (as in the RFPL, for example), as luck would have it, they stuff the basket full.

In this regard, my choice fell on bets on goals and individual totals . I consider it the most rational bet, since the essence of a football match comes down to the fact that if a team wants to win and take three points, it must score. The whole point of football is to score more goals than your opponent. In connection with the above, betting on goals looks the most rational.

When placing bets along the line, I pay attention to matches where good odds are given for the teams that are most likely to score in a certain confrontation. If the odds on a team’s goal are too low, then I often take a bet “over (1)” if I think that the team will definitely be able to score a goal, but is able to score more. Often bets on such events are given when more or less equal opponents meet and the odds for the victory of one fluctuate around 2, and the second 3-3.40. If you have a good understanding of the team's abilities, the skill of its key players and its current form, then such bets always turn out to be profitable, especially if you include several of them in a parlay.

So, in my opinion, the value bet was on more than one Real Madrid goal in the Champions League final against Juventus. The coefficient was 1.70. I was sure that Real would definitely score one goal, because the team scored in every match throughout the year and more than once. The restraining factor was that Barça was never able to score a goal against Juventus in two matches, but although I support Real Madrid, I am always extremely objective when it comes to betting, so I understood that the current Barça is not managed to score because the team gets lost under constant pressure from the opponent, they don’t know how to play as number two, so Juve’s opposition bore fruit and dispersed the opponent. And to be frank, in my opinion, Barcelona is a team of one great player, which, with solid resistance, can only hope to win if its great player works a miracle, bypasses the entire defense and scores a goal on a silver platter.

Real Madrid is, first and foremost, a team, despite big role Cristiano Ronaldo is in it. He was not noticeable for half the season, for which he again came under criticism, but his team is currently so well-coordinated and each of the players is so skilled that they calmly confidently won without him. Sometimes playing with the reserve squad, the team's results were even better. Thus, I had every reason to expect that Real would still score against Juventus. If Ronaldo had not done this, just anyone could have done it: Marcelo, Benzema, Modric, Isco, James, Vazquez, Ramos, Asensio (which he did), and others. This is explained by the high individual skill of each of the players of this club, inventiveness in attack, and most importantly, the lack of fear of playing second in a match in order to lull the opponent’s vigilance and “shoot” at a moment when no one expects.

As we all know, my assessment of this bet was more than justified.

All my bets start at odds of 1.50, otherwise they are simply not practical for accumulating profits. Each rate must be fixed, no more than 10% of the available Bank. Not a single bet, no matter how “sure” or “reinforced concrete” it is, is worth making an all-in bet. As soon as you make such a bet, it sneakily doesn’t go through. Therefore, you need to take into account that proper bank management is the basic rule of any earnings.

Having formed all the basic principles and rules of my betting, I decided to apply to them the approach and attitude that I mentioned earlier.

I identified sports betting with trading on stock exchanges , on which brokers successfully make money. As here, on stock exchanges, bets are made on an increase or decrease in the value of shares, goods or currencies. In turn, exchanges seem much more complex and unpredictable, since the fall or rise in the exchange rate can be influenced by certain global or smaller events in the world of economics, politics and corporate management. However, none of the rates that go down in the distance guarantees that at one fine moment, just when the time for your bet expires, it will not decide, for unknown reasons, to jump for a couple of seconds and then continue its fall. In this regard, I consider betting to be a more predictable, predictable and expedient investment.

Then I came across an article by one person who suggested a way to save the necessary amount (up to a million) by putting aside small amounts each month into your savings account at interest. The analysis of his method seemed to me quite good, safe and rational, but unbearably difficult and time-consuming. To achieve your goal it was necessary to save for many, many years. In addition, this method did not take into account the fact that at our level of life and salaries, in which one salary is not enough for a month, the idea of ​​saving will end sooner or later at the first lack of money, difficulties, etc. However, the idea and direction itself seemed correct to me. Based on this, I came to check whether my bank in the BC office could function according to "Deposit" principle.

Let's say I make a deposit into a bank account in the amount of 10, 20 or 100 thousand rubles. The amount is not important at the moment; for clarity, I’ll take 10,000 rubles. The bank opens deposits from 10% to 25% per annum (approximately) for the deposit amount. Thus, if you invested 10,000 rubles. at 25% per annum, then in a year you will receive only 12,500 rubles, or if this is a deposit for three months, then from 3% to 7% of the deposit. Your benefit looks negligible, even if you invested one hundred thousand rubles in relation to your contribution, and in financial terms it does not bring you any income.

Using the same principle, I decided to conduct an experiment and invest 10,000 rubles. to the bookmaker account (conditional), set a goal for myself and check how long it will take me to achieve it with careful bets according to my strategy, and whether I will succeed at all. The main rule was not to withdraw funds from the account until the final goal is achieved or until failure, similar to a bank deposit.

Bets based on the “Deposit” principle.

Type of bets: line + live.
Coefficients: from 1.5 to 2.5 (on average).
Initial bet amount: 1000 rubles (10% of the bank).
Pot size goal: 100,000 rubles.
Number of bets per day: from 1 to 7.

In the first month of betting, I made bets of 1000 rubles. The average betting odds were 1.7-1.8. As a result, taking into account that during this period there were both series of winnings and not very successful days of betting, in exactly one month my initial bank increased by 120%, I already had 22,000 rubles (with kopecks) in my account.

When the bank reached 30,000 rubles, I increased the fixed rate to 2,000 rubles, which was already less than 10%. I didn’t want to raise it to 10 percent, so that there would be a better chance of not losing the bank and following the age limit. In my opinion, it’s better to go slowly, but without fear of burning out. As a result, somewhere around the mark of 50,000 rubles in the bank, I increased the amount of the fixed bet to 3,000 rubles and set this bet size until I reached my goal - 100,000 rubles (that is, the size of the fixed bet was 4-5% of the bank.

Thus, by placing bets according to my clear rules and system, I managed to increase my initial bank by 1000% in 3 months and a few days. Which bank will offer this to you? Yes, it requires a lot of patience and discipline, but this format can really help you save a substantial amount in just one year. And our goals and dreams, I think, are worth setting aside some 10,000 rubles for one year.

According to my calculations, in a year it is possible to reach more than 1 million.

Having conducted many such experiments, I am still inclined to argue that sports betting, with the right approach and self-control, can be a full-fledged source of income. Moreover, they can become the basis of your financial independence, but for this you need to devote a couple of years to this. Although in this matter everything depends on the size of your initial bank. The larger the bank you start with, the faster and more significant your profits will appear.

Personally, I do not yet have an alternative honest method of passive income that could realize my goals and needs.

An orderly betting system, when rationally planned and maintained, can actually make money bring money;)

These are MY thoughts regarding the issue raised for discussion.

I published this article here because there are a lot of people on the Intelbet website who have much more experience in betting, and I would like to hear their thoughts on whether it is possible to really make money on bets or is it just entertainment. If you have any examples from your own experience and life, do not be afraid to share and comment. I need to know the opinion of people who have devoted themselves to this field for many years.

Thanks everyone for your attention! I hope at least someone will share their thoughts.

How to make money betting? If you are good at tennis, football, volleyball, basketball, biathlon or other sports, this will be an advantage.

Additionally, you will have to master classic pre-match analysis, study financial strategies, understand the psychology of betting and excitement, look at the tactics of successful transactions, and find a normal bookmaker. Don’t think that in 2 days you can turn from a plumber/electrician/manager into a professional capper/bettor earning 20,000 rubles a week.

• Step #1. We decide on the game bank. With a low-risk strategy, you will earn 1-15% of the deposit per month. If you throw in 1,000 rubles, then the net profit will be at the level of 150 rubles/month. When using a high-risk strategy, you can receive 100%, 300% from the bank, but you can also “merge” very quickly.
• Step #2. We choose bookmakers and study the rules. Since 2007, 1xbet (Netherlands, Curacao) has been operating, Marathon (Curacao) offers favorable conditions, you can open an account in William Hill (UK) or Bwin (Austria). The only problem is that bookmakers with foreign licenses are prohibited in Russia. When registering in the legal “1xstavka” or “League of Betting”, you will have to go through identification at the Central Accounting Office + pay 13% personal income tax on profits.
• Step #3. Let's compare the odds. “Marathon” (Curacao), “William Hill” and “1xbet” have the same line, the odds differ insignificantly. But there are situations when one bookmaker offers odds of 1.92 for team No. 1 to win, and another – 2.12. If we bet 1,000 rubles, then in the first case we get 1,920, and in the second - 2,120. The difference is 200 rubles!
• Step #4. We use strategies and tactics. There are more than 100 of them on the Internet. There are free and paid ones. If you are offered to earn millions without investments and without risks , think about it. Perhaps this is a scam from another “guru”.

All strategies are conditionally divided into 3 groups: gaming, financial and mixed.

To use strategies, you must know the types of bets and markets. BC can offer you:

• Singles (singles). Profit is determined as the derivative of the bet amount on the odds. For example, 1,000 * 3.33 = 3,330 rubles, of which 2,330 is net profit.
• Express trains. How can I find out the results for them? The odds of 2 or more outcomes are multiplied among themselves and multiplied by the bet amount. For example, 3.33 * 2.00 * 4.63 * 1,000 = 30.8358 * 1,000 = 30,835.8. If at least 1 outcome fails, we lose.
• Systems. They are a set of express bets and can look like 3/5, 2/6, 2/8. If 1 express loses, the system can still close in profit.
• Anti-express. They differ in coefficients of 1.01, 1.09, 1.10, 1.20 and no more. To win, you need to make an express bet with losing outcomes.

On line and live there are totals, time/matches, exact scores, handicaps (aka handicaps), double chances, bets on the winner.

How much can you earn from sports betting?

Screenshots and photographs of checks for 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 70,000 and even 170,000 are posted on the Internet! Newcomers’ eyes “light up”: it seems that they can press buttons and get the average salary in the region without doing anything. But we need to come down to earth: There is no such thing as mind-boggling profits. If you need quick earnings without investments and without risks , will have to look for other options. Income depends on:

• deposit size;
• bet amount for 1 outcome;
• strategies and tactics;
• analysis skills.

Let’s say we bet 5-7% of the bank, and the average bet amount is 30,000 rubles. With a coefficient of 1.50 you can get 15,000 rubles net. But this is in an optimistic scenario. Everyone has “black streaks”, unprofitable bets and unsuccessful forecasts, so we recommend setting an average monthly return of no more than 30%.

We do not take into account isolated cases when a person bets 50 rubles on a bet and receives 1 000 000 . Big wins do occur, but this great luck. It is important for us to gain profit in the medium or long term, and not “wait for weather by the sea.”

In general, the only way to make a profit without risks is to become the owner of a bookmaker. You may want (if suddenly) to open your own bookmaker's office, so you need to get acquainted with the basic profitability algorithms.

A bookmaker is created to make a profit and earn money. The concept of “margin” is used - the % that the bookmaker will earn regardless of whether the player wins or loses. To make it easier, let's explain with an example. Let's say we have a match between Dynamo and CSKA. Analysts calculated the probability of a particular outcome occurring, and based on this they allegedly set odds in the line.

If the bookmaker worked at zero, then when adding up the probabilities we would get 100%. But in our case, 51% + 17% + 43% = 111%. This means that the bookmaker has set a margin of 11% for the match! That's a lot. In Pinnacle, 1xbet or Marathon, the margin is 1.5-7% (depending on the event, type of sport, number of bets), so the odds are higher than in other bookmakers.

When choosing, evaluate not only the odds, but also work experience, reputation, presence/absence of sports and entertainment. In the rules of BC 1xbet there are more than 80 of them, and in Zenit there are about 30. In foreign bookmakers you will be offered not only sports betting, but also slots, games, casinos, and sweepstakes. Don't get carried away by gambling "buns"!

Which sport should I choose?

The one you understand. If your eyes widen from the words “red cards”, “corners”, “goals”, then you don’t need to get involved with football. If you have no idea about headshots, frags, towers, peaks, towers, then you don’t need to get involved in eSports.

There is one more feature. For rare sports and rare outcomes, the bookmaker increases the margin and lowers the odds. For let's take an example the same "Pinnacle" that operates in the USA. The information is based on the generally accepted odds of American bookmakers for the NFL, College Football, NBA, and MLB leagues.

Knowing the odds, you can estimate profits for individual outcomes and sports.

Description of strategies for making money on bets

On the Internet they offer you profitable strategies, promising a pass rate of 90-100%. On some forums they sell tactics for 15,000, 20,000 or 30,000 rubles! Do not buy:

1. Strategies with a 100% passability guarantee.
2. “Dogovornyaki” (fixed matches).
3. Forecasts from dubious personalities.

If you are a beginner, it is better to look at free materials and test them on a demo account. True, bookmakers that have guest accounts can be counted on the fingers of one hand (“Betcity”, “Winline”).

Dogon

Dogon came from casinos, where it was actively used for betting on red/black. The bottom line is that if you lose, you increase the bet amount by 2 times. The strategy is considered one of the easiest to understand, but requires:

• large bank;
• serious endurance.

Let's look at an example to make it clear. We have a bank of 100,000 rubles, so we can easily afford 1,000 rubles for 1 transaction. Let us choose the outcome with odds of 3.00.

5 secrets of catching up:

• The odds must be greater than 2.00 (this is why bookmaker clients often choose a draw).
• The risk of losing is high (you can spend the money in your account on 9 unprofitable bets without waiting for a profitable bet).
• You need to know the bookmaker’s limits (for example, you won’t be able to bet 29,978, because the bookmaker has set a limit of 25,000 per transaction).
• Clients often get overplayed and turn into gambling addicts (be sure to stop in time).
• Bets are placed on any sports (tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, hockey).

There is “Goal scored in intervals while catching up in football”, “Double catching up”, “Even/odd with catching up”, “Catching up in quarters in basketball”.

Classic pre-match analysis. What 7 factors need to be considered?

The point is that you analyze 10+ parameters that directly or indirectly affect the results of the match. Based on this, place P1, X or P2.

• Latest performances. Show the form of the team/player, the presence/absence of losing streaks.
• Tournament standings. It’s one thing when a team is fighting to advance, but it’s completely different if it’s participating in a friendly match.
• Personal meetings. There are teams that have been butting heads with equal scores for years. Or one has been losing to the other for 5 years in a row.
• Home/away matches. We collect statistics on them and see that teams feel confident at home, but can lose away away.
• Serious injuries and disqualifications. Clients who bet on women's tennis even try to calculate days of the menstrual cycle of athletes!
• Emotional condition. There are situations when teams do not have time to “come to their senses” after a disappointing defeat. There are also cases when a motivated outsider wins.
• Weather. Some teams cope better with the heat, while others play in the cold and rain.

Classic pre-match analysis is something without which there are no professional forecasts and sports betting. If you haven't mastered it yet, you'll have to study it.

Bookmaker's fork (arbitrage bet). How to fork correctly so as not to get banned?

The only betting strategy without risk, since you bet on opposite outcomes at different bookmakers. You will make a profit regardless of how the meeting ends.

The only problem is that the bookmakers detect the gamblers and ban them. Clause 2.35 of the rules of BC 1xbet contains a similar prohibition (with the threat of closing the account and writing off the profit on it). Pinnacle is considered to be perhaps the only bookmaker that welcomes arbitrage bets. This is directly stated on its website.

It is impossible to find outcomes on your own. You will have to either buy the program or take out a paid subscription. To find out if there is a fork, we use the formula:

B = 1/K1 + 1/K2 + 1/K3.

Profitability in % is calculated using the algorithm 100 – (B*100).

For example, we have the Italian Championship. Serie A", match "Benevento - Fiorentina". We went to 2 bookmakers to evaluate the odds.

• "1xbet". Odds for W1 – 1,70 , odds for P2 – 3.9.
• "Pinnacle". Odds on P1 – 3.8, odds on P2 – 3,00 .

We have a fork! Let us decide to bet 1,000 rubles. In this case, run the calculator and see what the amount is for 1 outcome. You can’t do without software: you’ll go crazy while you calculate the profitability of each trade.

You can place bets not only on P1 and P2. You can use the opposite total over 2.5 and total under 2.5; handicap (1) +4 and handicap (1) -4 and others.

But be careful , since bookmakers keep an eye on the bettors. You can be recognized by fractional amounts like 765.034 or 1,000.92, or 2,939.3733; according to certain outcomes, according to the time of betting.

Play in live mode. What is it and is there real money here?

Live (live, life, live) - events that have already begun and are going on right now. For example, you are watching a live broadcast of the Fiorentina - Udinese match. In the second, third or fifth minute you can bet on the score in the 1st half, the score in the 2nd half or the results of the match.

The live mode is beneficial because you can see the state of the teams and the balance of power. Based on them, one can already draw a conclusion about the possible results of the meeting. The only problem is that the live odds are lower than the pre-match odds.

Bet on undervalued events. How to find them and what to do?

You may also come across other names: “Value betting”, “Value betting”, “Value betting”. You find events whose outcome the bookmaker predicted incorrectly. The sites of forecasters, forumbetters, and your own analysis will help you in searching for such outcomes. You need matches in which the odds are higher than the real probability of the outcome.

To make it easier, let's look at an example. We are having a meeting between Magdalena Rybarikova and Richelle Hogenkamp. In 1xbet, Rybarikova is the favorite, because they offer 1.15 for her. The probability of winning, calculated by the bookmaker, is 86.96%.

Hogenkamp is an outsider, so the athlete has odds of 6.05. Accordingly, the bookmaker estimates the probability of winning at 16.53%.

We are firmly confident that Richelle will win, because Rybarikova sprained her arm the other day (and will quickly give up in the match). We bet with odds of 6.05 and earn money.

To make it easier for you, there is a formula:

V*(K-1)*D - (1-V)*D

• B – probability (from 0 to 1).
• K – bookmaker’s odds.
• D – the money you bet.

Let's say we threw 1,000 rubles on Richelle Hogenkamp. We substitute the numbers and get:

0,1653 * (6,05 – 1) * 1 000 – (1 — 0,1653) * 1 000 = 0,1653 * 5,05 * 1 000 – 0,8347 * 1 000 = 834,7 – 834,7 = 0.

What does it mean? Expected value your average profit with a probability of 16.53% is zero. You must be 100% sure that the underdog has a much higher chance of winning.

Think you'll go crazy plugging in values ​​and calculating probabilities? Calmly! Calculators are used to calculate value bets. For example, we entered a coefficient equal to 3.48. Let us estimate the probability at 58%. The system indicates the value 1.7399999999999997 and confirms that our deal is profitable. Will you try the method in action?

Bet on clear favorites. Where to find it and how to use it?

The idea is simple: you find matches involving clear favorites and underdogs. The authors of the strategy recommend it to beginners because the risks are supposedly minimal. But in fact, everything is not so simple.

1. The office sets reduced odds for the favorite, so you won’t be able to make a normal profit.
2. The risks of losing still remain.

To win the favorite you are offered 1.09 or 1.08, or 1.1, or 1.2, or 1.07. If you bet 1,000 rubles, you will receive 1,000 * 1.07 = 1,070. Net profit - 70 rubles!

For example :

• "Greece - Gibraltar". “Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". P1 has a ridiculous coefficient of 1.001.
• "France - Belarus". “Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". On P1 we are offered 1.04.
• "Uruguay - Bolivia". “Qualifying matches for the World Championship. South America". P1 from 1.11.
• Indiana Pacers - Maccabi Haifa. “NBA. Preseason matches (with OT).” On P1 we have 1.02.

It would be possible to make an express train of “low-risk outcomes.” But if at least 1 outcome does not come true, we will lose. By the way, let's talk about express bets and whether it will be possible to make a million on them.

Express bets. How to choose outcomes for “locomotives”?

The point is that you put at least 2 outcomes into the coupon, the odds between which are multiplied. The winning amount is determined as:

odds No. 1 * odds No. 2 * odds No. 3 * odds No. 4 * odds No. * bet amount.

If at least 1 of the outcomes is not justified, We are losing! Professional betters recommend adding no more than 2-3 outcomes to a coupon. Otherwise, you expose yourself to increased risks.

For example, there are 5 outcomes on a line that can be added to a coupon.

• “NBA. Pre-season matches (with OT).” Denver Nuggets - Oklahoma City Thunder. We bet on P1 with odds of 1.93.
• “NBA. Pre-season matches (with OT).” Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls. We choose a total of 206.5 B
• with odds of 1.95.
• "NHL" Carolina Hurricanes - Columbus Blue Jackets. Our total is 5.5 B, odds are 2.04.
• “Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". "Estonia - Bosnia and Herzegovina." Double chance 2X with odds of 1.168.
• “Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". "Hungary - Faroe Islands". Individual total is 1 2 M, the coefficient of which is 1.89.

In the “Bet Type” field, indicate “Express”. The system automatically calculates the final odds for us. V

16,948. If we bet 1,000 rubles, we get 1,000 * 16.948 = 16,948 rubles. Reviews about “steam locomotives” are different. If you have just started betting on sports, choose classic single bets.

Specifics of betting on the Internet

Bookmakers that operate in the Internet space obtain a license in offshore zones. Because of this, they are banned in some countries. For example, in Russia only legal bookmakers are allowed to operate, including 1xstavka and League of Bet. To access foreign bookmakers, you will have to look for mirrors, special programs and applications. You need to choose a reliable bookmaker whose website will work stably.

• Control yourself and don’t slip into gambling addiction. 1 loss does not mean that you urgently need to win back and raise your bets. The main thing is profit in the long term.
• Remember that betting strategies there is no risk. There are only those that minimize losses and avoid unpleasant situations. There were and are not 100% “passable” ones.
• Throw money into the bookmaker that you don’t mind losing. Otherwise, you will be shaking over every penny and afraid to make a deal.
• Control your finances . 1 bet should not take more than 5% of the deposit.

Use strategies, monitor your deposit, learn new things and take losses calmly. We wish you success and profit!

About what sports betting is and how to make money on it, what types and strategies of sports betting there are, where (in which bookmakers) it is better to place sports bets via the Internet (online) - read in this issue

Excitement is considered an integral part of human nature, and the desire to argue is its external manifestation. Therefore, various bets have been made since ancient times.

We cheered for our favorite athletes Olympic Games in the era of antiquity, and gladiator fights caused enormous excitement even in ancient Rome. Apparently, that’s when the prototypes of today’s bookmakers appeared, although officially, BC is considered the birthplace of Great Britain .

In our time game with bookmakers can be seen as special type of financial transactions, very similar to investment projects implemented on stock exchanges. We wrote about it in a separate article - we recommend reading it. And the best broker, according to most traders, is " ForexClub".

📌 The degree of risk in both cases is comparable. It is no coincidence that, according to respected analysts, the annual volume of the bookmaker market is estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars.

It is very easy to become a participant in this business. When asked on the Internet, a search engine will return several dozen bookmaker sites. Betting on-line very convenient, and the procedure itself is extremely simple.

In addition, reputable bookmakers with a strong reputation offer download mobile apps , using which you can participate in the game from almost anywhere, having a device (phone, tablet, etc.) at hand.

Professional players are usually called handicappers. In order to become one, it is not enough just to have a long experience as a fan and have a good understanding of sports. If everything were so easy, many famous football players, hockey players, other athletes and coaches would have made huge fortunes long ago.

To formulate the correct one that forms the basis of a winning bet, you need to have knowledge of mathematics, have an understanding of probability theory and mathematical statistics, and know the specifics of the work of bookmakers.

Many people believe that a bookmaker and a betting shop are one and the same thing. But this is not entirely true: in the first case we are talking about an institution where sports bets are accepted, and in the second case we are talking about one of the types of bets

2. What is a bookmaker’s office and totalizator - definition + operating principle

Nowadays, the popularity of such establishments is not only falling, but rather everywhere growing. This has become especially noticeable with the advent of Internet technologies, which make it possible to place a bet, without leaving home. Thanks to this, they occupy a fairly significant place in the gambling business around the world. major bookmakers , such as 1xstavka, bwin and others.

What is the principle of operation of sweepstakes, how do they differ from bookmakers, and whether most people correctly draw parallels between them, you will find out further.

2.1. What is a bookmaker and what does it do?

Bets is an institution that makes a kind of bet with its visitors. You can argue about any events, but most often only sports: football matches, boxing matches etc.

To put it simply, the essence of this interaction between the bookmaker and the client is is as follows: a person decides to bet on one or another outcome of a sporting event. If he is right, he is paid the amount of his investment along with a pre-agreed profit. If the outcome was not guessed, then the money is lost.

History of bookmaking

Frenchman Pierre Ohler It is considered to be the “father of bookmaking”, because it was he who was the first person who came up with the idea of ​​renting a kind of office at the hippodrome and inviting people to place bets on the upcoming races. This happened in the 19th century.

Then a similar idea migrated to England, where bookmakers were also opened, and to this day they are rightfully the most reliable in the world. Such organizations reached Russia only in 1991 year. Their appearance is associated with the emergence and rapid development of capitalism.

2.2. How does a bookmaker work - the principle of operation

The basic principle by which such organizations operate is quite simple: a person is confident in some outcome of the event and decides to place a bet, after which he pays money and receives a receipt. If he wins, he contacts the bookmaker and takes his winnings.

An interesting point is the fact that such offices don't spend their money, because they simply manage the finances of the losers.

Popularity similar organizations is growing nowadays actually because they are becoming more accessible in online mode . At the same time, to calculate winning odds, by which the player’s bet will be multiplied, the probability of victory of a particular opponent in a sports competition is analyzed.

To calculate the amount of expected profit, you simply need to multiply the starting investment by the proposed multiplier. If, For example, the coefficient was equal to 2, and the bet was 50 dollars, then in the end the player will receive if successful 100 dollars.

What is bookmaker margin - definition of the term + example

Under this term lies own profit organizations. The whole point is that it is not profitable for bookmakers to just bet, so they invest their own certain percentage in advance into the calculated odds, which is almost invisible to the player.

Let's assume that two equal teams meet on the field, which means the chance of victory for one of them is 50 %. This suggests that the expected coefficient is 2 .

The bookmaker, who also wants to make a profit, sets a margin equal to 0.1 of the winnings. This means that the winning player will receive not 200, but 190 .

2.3. What is betting - description + essence of work

Tote is a special organization that accepts bets mainly on horse racing.

The essence of their work is that winnings are distributed not depending on previously calculated odds, but by equal distribution of the collected bank from the losers.

In addition, the game itself and a specialized device, which at horse races shows the place of horses in the race, can be called a betting machine.

It is worth noting that such systems come in the form of single, so double or even triple. This means that the bet can be placed on the horse that is most likely to finish first, second or even third.

After the completion of the sporting event, the betting organizers proceed in the following way: part of the amount collected goes to the racecourse, part is taken as margin, and the rest is divided among those who made correct bets. The larger its size, the more amount winning.

2.4. How does a betting house differ from a bookmaker's office - the main differences

In fact, after analyzing the previously presented information, the differences are quite obvious. Tote often accepts bets only on horse races, but bookmakers can place bets on any sport. At the same time, in the course of their activities, the latter use a certain statistical and purely mathematical apparatus to calculate gaming odds. But they simply aren’t available in betting shops.

Note! Profit received from cooperation with bookmakers more stable, because a person immediately knows in advance how much he can get if he turns out to be right about the outcome of a sporting event. The same cannot be said about sweepstakes.

The operating principle of sweepstakes implies the dependence of the total income percentage on two indicators: from bet amounts and from investment size specific winner. And you can often meet them only in equestrian sports, which cannot be said about bookmakers.

Main types of sports bets at bookmakers

3. Types of sports bets in a bookmaker's office - 7 most popular bookmaker bets

Most people who have never engaged in such activities think that betting can only be made on two or a maximum of three outcomes: victory on the one hand, winnings second or draw . In fact, the imagination of modern bookmakers knows no bounds, so they are constantly modernizing betting systems, thinking of new types. This allows you to diversify the lives of players and make the process itself more fascinating.

In addition, a wide selection possible events, or as experienced handicappers call it - good line , allows professionals to develop more sophisticated strategies to make income from playing in bookmakers more stable.

So, let's look at the main classification of bets, which can be used by both beginners and experienced players.

View 1. Outcome of a sporting event

As the name itself suggests, players will have to guess the likely outcome of the competition. Available often 3 outcome: 2 wins and a draw.

Type 2. Double chance

In this case, bookmakers offer to combine two events. However, such bets are available only for those sports where draw. In fact, players are given the opportunity to predict one out of two events.

• victory one or the other team (12);
• winnings first parties or draw(1X);
• triumph second commands or draw(X2).

Of course, the odds for such bets are always lower, but the chance of winning becomes many times greater.

It's no secret that in most cases the favorite is known, however, to be on the safe side you can choose double bet with a draw.

View 3. Total

A very popular type of bet with a bookmaker that is available V football . It consists of determining how many goals will be scored in the match.

There are two types of this bet:

1. TB(total more) implies that there will be more than 2.5 goals in the goal, that is, 3 and above;
2. TM(total less) assumes that there will be 0, 1 or 2 goals.

Type 4. Handicap

This type of bet was developed in order to balance the probabilities of fairly strong opponents in the bookmaker's office.

Often there can be a handicap for one team +1,5 , and for rivals -1,5 .

An example will make everything clearer:

Let's say, on the field they meet a well-known Bavaria And Southampton . It is not difficult to predict that the coefficient for the first team will be much lower due to its obvious advantage.

If Bayern has F (-1.5), this means that its athletes must defeat their opponents by more than 1.5 goals. The coefficient in this case will be approximately 1.7 (not so big).

For Southampton, F (+1.5) means that the team should not be an outsider with a difference of more than 1.5 goals.

View 5. Time match

In this case, the player is given the opportunity to determine both the outcome of the match and in what half it will be decided. The coefficients here are quite large.

For example, there may be a bet that determines that the team won both the first half and the entire game. This is much more difficult to predict than just the outcome of a match, so bookmakers attract people's attention to such bets through perspective big win .

Type 6. Exact counting

In this case, the player has to predict specific outcome of a sporting event.

For example, if it is a football match, then you will need to determine the expected number of goals from both sides.

Odds for such bets start from 3 and can be very large.

View 7. Asian total

In this case we are talking about bets with a non-integer indicator. For example, 2.25, 3.25 or 2.75.

To understand, consider the example of TB 2.75:

In this case, the bet should be divided into two components: on TB 3 And TB 2.5 . If more than 3 goals were scored during the game, then the player is considered the winner, but if only 3, then half of the amount he bet on TB 2.75 is returned.

Work with such rates more difficult, BUT they allow in the case when a person is confident in some event, insure. If one less goal is scored in the described case, then the player will not lose so much money.

Thus, the existing types of bets were reviewed, most of which apply only to football. Some (for example, outcome, double chance or correct score) can also be used for other sports.

Experts advise that before choosing a bet, analyze the upcoming event in detail in order to predict it most likely outcome .

In addition, the use of complex bets makes it possible in some cases insure(the coefficient will be slightly lower), and also use an unusual strategy that promises lower risks.

How to make money on sports betting - necessary conditions

4. Earning money on sports betting - how much can you earn on sports betting and is it realistic for a beginner to increase money?

Many people who have never encountered betting before in their lives doubt that with their help they can get optimal profits without much difficulty. In fact, if you try to answer the question “Is it really possible to earn something from sports betting?”, then we can formulate the following answer: « Quite, if you approach the process wisely".

Of course, experts say that this way of earning money is quite risky , however, this is only due to the fact that no one can know the real outcome of this or that sporting event.

Despite this, using your money for bets is much more profitable than For example, store them in a bank deposit. At the same time, we should not forget that there are risks in all matters related to money in any area of ​​life. Even the bank is not immune from robberies, disasters or any financial problems in the country, due to which, despite all the guarantees, depositors will not receive money.

It is on the basis of all these discussions about risks that the most first rule of sports betting: during the game you can use only those financial savings, the loss of which in case of something drastic will not affect life and will not be fatal.

Important! In fact, you only need to take money that is in free access. Based on this, it is impossible never To make bets, borrow or withdraw funds from the family budget. We talked about this right now in one of the previous issues.

At the same time, experts claim that bankroll(start-up capital) should not be very large, but not very small either. You cannot start with small bets if you plan to play using special strategies. It is best to immediately acquire such an amount that would allow you to do at least from 20 to 50 equal in amount of bets.

The question may immediately arise: Is it really possible to get real profit by playing in bookmakers, which would allow you to give up your main job? Is it possible to count on a decent monthly income based only on rates? If yes, what needs to be done for this?

The answer to these questions is at least the fact of the existence handicappers- professional players in bookmakers' offices. These people give up their usual work and are busy analyzing past sporting events, making forecasts for upcoming competitions and matches.

Their work is not easy, because you first need to understand how bookmakers work, as well as what the basic mathematical rules of such activities are.

In addition, at the initial stage it is necessary to ensure that all of the following conditions:

1. Uninterrupted access to the World Wide Web is available;
2. Every day it is possible to allocate at least 3-4 hours;
3. A small starting capital, which was mentioned earlier (bankroll);
4. Composure and a serious approach (you need to learn in any situation hold back your emotions and not succumb to fleeting desires that do not coincide with the verdict of mathematical forecasts);
5. There must be an increased interest aimed at one of the sports.

Most often, people begin a simple acquaintance with betting or a real handicapping career with the most famous and popular sports competitions all over the world: With hockey, basketball or, of course, football . Despite this, experts believe that the most profit can be obtained through tennis .

If tennis is not so interesting, then it’s still worth starting with what everyone is familiar with football , which is all over the world, except USA, counts most popular sport due to its simplicity, scale and sufficient dynamism. We talked about it in detail in the previous article.

When using working strategies, every beginner can count on relatively stable profits. Initially, in its pure form it can amount to somewhere up to 10% per month from starting capital.

For those who like to take risks, there are other strategies that differ in their increased profitability. With their help you can get up to half of the initial bank. The catch lies in the fact that you can just as easily lose everything in pursuit of a large percentage.

It is worth noting that income in the amount 10% Not only absolutely real, but also least risky . The final profit will actually depend on the initial investment. The larger they are, the more you can get after the expected outcome of certain sporting events.

How to make money on football betting - 4 important rules for getting a high income

As has been mentioned many times before, football best suited for novice players in bookmakers' offices. The thing is that this particular sport is familiar to everyone since childhood, its rules are the most understandable and accessible, and the successes and defeats of the majority famous clubs on everyone's lips. That is why you can find a large amount of information on the Internet for each upcoming event, as well as fresh football predictions from professionals of your business.

Another advantage The thing about football as a sport for novice handicappers is that it is quite rich in terms of rules. At the same time, there are dozens of factors that allow us to say that the chances of a particular club to win are growing or falling.

Because football Since this is a team sport, the result of the match depends on each individual player and on their totality. If the favorites' star goalkeeper breaks his leg, then the team will not be in the best mood, and they may miss quite a few goals, because one of the substitutes will have to take the field.

Despite all this, you shouldn’t give in to the imaginary feeling that everything in football is very easy to calculate. No professional handicapper never will not bet on a team to win just because he had a dream or his intuition tells him something. In any case, any sporting event - a collection of smaller random events, which means its outcome is not so easy to predict.

Other factors may also influence the outcome of the match: the quality of the grass on the field, the weather, whether this is an away game for a certain team, whether there were Lately scandals associated with its participants, etc.

That is why experts do not advise rely only on instinct and the odds offered by bookmakers, especially if they are equal, which means that the betting organizers themselves doubt one outcome or another, but do not deny that both of them are real.

So, in order to place bets on football matches and start earning consistently, you need Remember a few pro tips:

1. Under any circumstances, it is prohibited to bet on a team that is your favorite. It is on “favorite clubs” that bookmakers earn most of their money, because handicappers simply overestimate the strength of their favorites and clearly underestimate their opponents. In fact, all surrounding events and factors that could influence the outcome are overshadowed by the fact that the favorite club is playing.
2. You should never choose all leagues and all possible sports for betting. Best to choose minimum a set of teams and competitions that will have to be monitored. In this case, it will be possible Firstly, not to miss anything, and, secondly, not to be distracted by extraneous events and, for example, to better understand the features of a particular league, identifying its clear favorites, outsiders and “averages”.
3. It is best to never get involved in matches and duels that are decisive both for the opposing sides and for the championship itself. Experts advise avoiding events that could bring a clear advantage to one of the parties if they win. At the same time, for the same reasons not worth it pay attention to final matches and fights. The thing is that for such events, betting organizers calculate all the odds down to the smallest detail, clinging to every hundredth. That is why bookmakers are preparing Very small odds, and there is no point in betting on outsiders if the chance of their victory is minimal.
4. In any situation and with any outcome, you must always control your emotions until the last second. At the same time, it is worth doing this both before choosing bets and when you can no longer influence anything. Before starting the game you need Necessarily weigh all available information and place a bet according to the chosen strategy. When all the bets are already placed and all that remains is to wait for the results, showing emotions is even more inappropriate, because the outcome of a sporting event can be decided in its very last minutes.

Among other things, professionals advise beginners not to forget to pay attention to the odds. Several effective strategies are based on the analysis of these income multipliers, and this already says something.

Review best strategies sports betting: football, tennis, basketball, hockey

7. Sports betting strategies - working systems for playing in bookmakers

As mentioned earlier, a novice player may get confused when he sees the existing variety of bets at a bookmaker, deciding that it is best to bet only directly on the result of a particular sporting event.

In fact, to get a stable income, it is not enough just to own a certain bank. You also need to use it for the game a specific strategy .

On the Internet, a beginner can find dozens of different techniques that differ not only in the rates used, but also in the size of the starting capital, as well as the expected profit.

For those who are just starting to get acquainted with the world of bookmakers, it is best to start with several of the most proven and reliable strategies in order to most likely stay with your money and also make a profit.

No one will argue that any gaming equipment does not guarantee no failures. Otherwise, all bookmakers would be left with nothing and would have closed long ago. We advise you to read our article about how to change your life for the better.

Various strategies, with a skillful approach, can actually increase the chances of receiving a more or less stable income in the long term. To do this, you need to remain calm and act according to one of the schemes proposed below.

7.1. Sports betting gaming strategies

In this case, we mean technologies that help select the right events, worthy of attention, as well as the best rates.

Most people do not try to analyze their gaming model and do not think about the prospect of long-term earnings.

Experts advise paying attention to the following strategies that will help raise a beginner’s playing style to a completely new level:

• classic analysis right before a sporting event (Value Betting);
• betting on events that were underestimated by bookmakers;
• real-time game;
• catch up;
• so-called forks.

The most popular gaming technology – Value Betting. In the Russian version, it sounds like “undervalued bets.”

In this case, the player proceeds as follows: he is looking for the outcome of events that the bookmakers have bet on Very a large coefficient, since they themselves don't believe into his reality.

If a person is confident that such a bet can work and bring profit in the long term, then he will definitely make it.

Let's try to understand the principle of such a strategy using an example:

Suppose , that the player tracks all matches of the abstract club Real Madrid. Of course, the majority consider him a potential winner, which means they will always bet on victory, without taking into account small odds.

The technology of undervalued events, in turn, implies the following: you need to bet on the winning of the opposing teams, because there the income multiplier will be so large that in the event of an unexpected mistake by the obvious favorites, it will be possible to win back all the money previously lost.

This approach, of course, is only profitable in the long term, so you need to be patient.

Two other popular strategies called "catch up" And "fork" experts call in theory win-win . In this case, two fundamentally unattainable conditions must be met:

1. A person must have an unlimited gaming bank;
2. Bets at a bookmaker's office should not be limited in size.

It is precisely because of two nuances that experts do not advise starting with these strategies for those who are just taking their first steps in the described area. Despite this, people with a large bank can try one of these technologies for themselves.

The essence "catch up" quite simple: After each loss, you need to constantly increase the size of the next bet, covering in the future the previous losses with the next win.

Thus, you can bet on a highly profitable outcome of events, where the odds are higher, and every time after failure, For example, double the money invested in the bet.

Everything would be fine, but if you start playing right away with large bets, then after a real series of defeats you may simply run out of money.

The second problem is that even if funds are available, the bookmaker may simply not allow betting for a very large amount.

You can get around this point, albeit for a short time, by searching for organizations with approximately the same coefficients. In this case, you can especially break big bet between bookmakers.

Technology "forks" Lately it has been used less and less, although it used to be very popular when the odds in different offices differed from each other. Then experienced players could afford to make money on the difference.

Recently, due to approximately the same income multipliers (most bookmakers cooperate with the same statistical centers that deal with forecasts) and tightening of the rules by which bets are made, “arbers” can be found less and less often.

7.2. Financial Strategies for Sports Betting

This kind of technology recommends players one or another scheme for using starting capital to get the maximum possible profit with little risk. In fact, a person’s attention is fixed not on the sporting event and its probable outcomes, but on in numbers And money .

Among the most popular, experts point out the following gaming technologies:

• flat (the most popular and simple strategy of the game);
• Martingale strategy (in fact, it is an analogue of the methodology catch up, however, recommends not paying attention to the predictability of a particular outcome of an event, but choosing the best bet depending on the offered odds);
• Kelly criterion (determines the amount of money worth betting with a bookmaker, based on the starting capital and several changing indicators);
• fixed income (before each event, it is calculated how much needs to be spent on it in order to receive the expected income).

All these strategies have their place, however, as stated earlier, it is flat Recommend to all beginners. Its main principle is rate fixing.

There is no need to take anything into account or calculate anything. Most often it is about 5 % of the bank, but more experienced players vary this indicator themselves.

Note! Flat best suited for long term prospects, however, it requires maximum endurance from a person, because very often after a failure you want to quickly win back and bet more than the amount agreed in advance.

Thus, existing technologies and various strategies allow the player to both fixate on the outcome of a particular match and think about the amounts allocated for each event and the odds set by bookmakers.

It is best for a beginner to choose for himself fixed rate, and also try in each case to analyze the expected outcome of events as accurately as possible.

How to play better at a bookmaker to win - tips and tricks from experienced players (handicappers)

8. How to play in a bookmaker's office - 4 useful tips on the game for beginners

As mentioned earlier, working with bets on the outcome of sporting events is a business that can bring good profits, but at the same time it is associated with certain risks .

“Hiting the jackpot” by obeying only emotions will not work here. You are more likely to lose everything than to receive a stable income with an ill-considered strategy.

That is why experts say that it is necessary to listen to several recommendations in order to minimize risks and increase future profits.

Tip 1. Allocate an amount that you won’t mind losing

When playing in bookmakers, a person must have such an amount with which it would be possible to implement some strategy and, in addition, it wouldn't be critical to lose her in case of force majeure. In this case, you need to control yourself and do not conclude bet on All available money.

If the bet turns out to be unsuccessful, then it should be such that you don’t want to, succumbing to some fleeting impulses, immediately win it back on dubious events or unlikely outcomes of certain competitions.

To do this, it is enough to place bets only from part of the bank (previously it was said about 5 %), leaving the bulk of funds for future actions.

Tip 2: Check out your opponents beforehand

You cannot place bets on a sporting event whose outcome is difficult to predict on your own. It is best to review several previous competitions (matches) with each of the opponents in order to have an idea about them.

It is also necessary to focus on minor factors: weather on the day of the event (especially relevant for football), quality playing field, the mood of the opponents, possible injuries.

Important! You should never place bets without first studying various information materials.

The easiest way to consider this rule is using the example of football. Before choosing a bet, you must definitely find out who is injured in the teams, how important these players are, who is on the bench, what prospects will open up for the club if they win.

If this match doesn’t solve anything for the athletes (they are obvious leaders or outsiders) , then in this case they can play half-heartedly. This nuance works the other way around: if the competition is decisive, and there was a series of victories before it, then the optimistic attitude of the athletes themselves will only add to their chances of winning.

Tip 3. You should always monitor the odds

It is with their help that bookmakers regulate both their profits and the income of players. They depend, no matter how strange it may seem, on real world not only on the obvious chances of the opponents, but also on several other factors.

For example, the odds by which the player’s bet will be multiplied in the event of his victory may change in cases where it is already too much people were bet on one of the probable outcomes of events, and also when to the bookmakers leaked backstage information.

A sharp change in multipliers can manifest itself immediately before the sporting event itself.

Tip 4. You can’t try to invest more from the very beginning to get the maximum possible profit

An ill-considered approach to betting can even lead to loss Total jar. Experienced bettors (from English bet- bid) not recommended play with all available money.

Firstly, must be certain reserve, from which additional funds can be used for betting in the future. Secondly, most strategies involve complex game combinations. They assume usage large quantity different rates. This means that what large quantity If the money is divided into parts, the more confident you will feel.

It is worth noting that solid rates- reckless risk in pursuit of instant wealth.

Of course possible in overnight win an attractive amount if the outcome is with good odds, but here are the chances lose All and ingloriously end your career as a novice handicapper (better) in the case of a rash approach after all higher .

Thus, all these rules can be slightly generalized by formulating the main recommendation is thus: You should never give in to the influx of emotions when playing in bookmakers.

Need to first allocate money that you won’t mind losing, but then break them into a large number of small equal parts. At the same time, before choosing the expected winner, it is imperative to familiarize yourself with the dossier of your opponents.

If this, For example , a football match, then you need to know all the features of each team’s game, as well as their morale and the presence of injured important players in the lineup.

A hint for a novice bettor in a bookmaker's office would be change in odds in one direction or another right before a sporting event.

Firstly, organizations involved in such betting regulate the income multiplier due to the fact that the majority of their clients choose one or another outcome of events. Secondly, bookmakers always find out all the news first, which means some kind of important information, which is not yet known to the public.

Most often, the bookmaker’s condition is to use the donated funds as betting on the event , whose coefficient is not less 1,5 , i.e. this will not be the most likely outcome, which means the office itself will not lose much, because the probability of the player winning is small.

In most cases, it is enough to find a bookmaker with the largest welcome bonus. The larger the gift amount, the more reliable and popular this company is likely to be, since it can afford such methods of attracting new clients.

12. Frequently asked questions about sports betting

People who have never encountered sports betting certainly have many questions about this topic. Next, we will try to answer the most common of them.

Question 1. What is a handicap in sports betting?

Handicap betting is considered one of the most popular types of sports betting with bookmakers. What are they?

Bookmakers use this tool when the advantage of one of the competing teams or athletes in personal competitions is beyond doubt. Naturally, there are few people willing to bet against the favorite in this situation.

To increase the interest of players in such events, it is used head start , or in other words - virtual advantage , which the weaker participant receives before the start of the competition, expressed in seconds, goals, games or points, depending on the sport. Thus, initially the opponents' chances are equalized.

Note: Interestingly, handicap is used not only by bookmakers. IN Soviet times, at the dawn of the development of team sports, it was called handicap, was used during real competitions for the country's cup in bandy and football.

Back then, even amateur teams could participate in these tournaments, and seeding was “blind” from the very first stages. Sometimes, due to a head start, little-known teams rose quite high in the bracket.

How does a handicap bet work?

First of all, you need to understand that there are two types of handicaps: positive And minus . For clarity, it is best to take example from football, the rules of which are understood by almost everyone.

For a team meeting CSKA And Arsenal, bookmakers offer betting with a handicap F1, equal -1,5 for the first team and F2, equal +1,5 for the second team.

This means that the bet on a plus handicap will win if Arsenal loses by no more than two goals. Accordingly, for the reverse F1 bet to win, CSKA must win by scoring two goals more than the opponent.

How to quickly calculate a handicap bet?

Calculating this type of bet is not particularly difficult. The main thing to remember is that negative a head start is given favorite, A positive outsider and don’t confuse this when filling out the bookmaker’s coupon. So, for the French Premier League match between Monaco and Lille, bookmakers offered to bet with a handicap -3 to Monaco, and +3 to Lille.

The game ended with a result 4:2 . Handicappers who bet F1, lost because the handicap must be subtracted from the actual goals scored. So 4:2 becomes 1:2 .

Players who bet on F2 On the contrary, they won. Real defeat of Lille with a score 2:4 , taking into account the increased handicap, became a virtual victory 5:4 . It should be noted that if Monaco wins with a score 5:2 or another outcome, with a positive difference of three goals, the final virtual result would be no one's. In such situations, the bet is returned to the player.

In tennis, unlike football, victory is brought not by goals, but by sets won. They, in turn, consist of games, or plays of balls on the opponents' serve. In the vast majority of competitions, the match goes until one of the athletes wins two sets.

Here you can bet with a handicap both to win in sets and in games. In the second case, game scores for the entire match are summed up.

Yes, recently Svetlana Kuznetsova won the tournament Yaroslav Shvedov with the score 6:4 6:3 . The total for the games will be 12:7 . By adding or subtracting the handicap value, it is easy to determine whether the chosen bet played or not.

It is very interesting to bet with a handicap on the number of games won. After all, even if the player you bet on with a negative handicap loses, you can win.

Eg , the bet is placed on the favorite with an F1 handicap of -2.5, but he loses to his opponent in three sets 6:0 6:7 4:6. She will still play, thanks to the large difference in the score of the first third of the match. It is especially interesting to place this type of bet on the games of the four Grand Slam tournaments, where to win you need to take three sets from your opponent.

What does it mean if the handicap is 0

In bookmaker lines you can find bets with a handicap, the value of which is equal to zero. This is a kind of bet with insurance. If a regular bet is placed on a team to win but ultimately lose or end the match in a draw, the handicapper's money goes to the bookmakers. In this case, in the event of a draw, the amount bet on the zero handicap is returned to the player.

What can you bet on with a handicap?

Bookmakers offer handicap bets not only on the scores of matches, halves, periods, thirds and games, but also on a host of other statistical indicators.

Here are just the most popular types of such bets:

• The number of yellow and red cards in football, fouls in basketball, deletions in hockey;
• Number of throws and corners;
• Percentage of faceoffs and possession won in the match;
• The number of shots on goal in football, shots on goal in a hockey goal and a basketball basket.

The calculation of the listed and other bets of this type is made by simply adding or subtracting the numerical value of the handicap indicated in the line.

Types of handicaps

Bookmakers use two types of handicaps, which differ in the way they calculate winnings. It will be useful to elaborate on each of them.

Asian handicap. This type of handicap bet is used by most bookmakers and looks like: -2.5; -1; +1.5; +2. To calculate it, the handicap value is added to the final result of the game or, conversely, it is subtracted. This bet will work both if the selected team wins and if the match ends in a draw.

For example, for a head start in -2 , the favorite club on which the bet is placed only needs to win 4:2 or with a more impressive difference. Accordingly, the score 3:2 will turn into a virtual result 1:2 and bring a loss.

European handicap. This type of handicap bet provides a different method of calculation. Its fundamental difference from the Asian handicap is no draws .

That is, in order to bet with a handicap -2 played, the team for which it was made must win by a margin more 2 balls. If the score is 4:2, a virtual draw is recorded, and the money bet goes to the bookmakers. In fact, a bet of -2 in a European handicap corresponds to a bet of -2.5 in an Asian handicap.

There are no other differences between these types of handicaps. Be careful when filling out bookmaker coupons and carefully study the rules of the bookmaker you bet with. Then everything will be alright.
