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 certain area. 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 who deal with this to explain to me the rules of betting, the meaning of certain symbols in bookmaker lines, but initially everything seemed “ 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.


So, in one of the cool films "On the Edge" I caught a phrase from one of the characters that sounded something like this “... I love my country because here everything that I had and lost, I can always return twice as much...” Something like that. And this idea just settled in my thoughts.

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 as large as the lost amount. Thus, if you win new rate you return the amount you lost, and besides, 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.


The most significant and most motivating thing for me to formulate a new approach to betting was film "Focus" , namely that scene on the football field where Will Smith’s smart and calculating hero bets against an avid gambler (a Chinese rich man, businessman) and loses all the time. He raises the stakes until he fails big jackpot(having won everything he had + everything the Chinese bet). Thus, Will Smith seems to have doubled the 1.2 million he had. And despite the fact that the last winning bet was a setup, when asked by his companion what he would do if he didn’t win this time, he replies that he would double to win.

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 consider modern tendencies and team motivation , 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 demonstrates best game on defense this year. By missing statistical indicators and current trends, you are deliberately miscalculating the chances of the team you are going to bet on.


Based on probability theory, I chose the main position for your bets . I very rarely bet on team victories, and then more often on a victory with a handicap (0), because I believe that any game is unpredictable, the ball is round, the field is green, and you never know how the game scenario will turn out: in the last seconds the opponent can snatch a draw, or a red card can confuse the team’s entire mood and plans for the game. In those matches where the winner is almost always clear, the odds are so low that it is not possible to place a bet, and where they are high, the probability that the team will not win is high.

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 be no more than 2-3 goals (as for example in the RFPL), 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 football match it 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 betting on a line, I pay attention to matches where good odds on the goals of the teams that are most likely 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 form this moment, then such bets always turn out to be profitable, especially if you include several of them in an express bet.

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, ingenuity in attack, and most importantly, the lack of fear of playing number two 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.


In addition to pre-match line bets, I consider them very profitable live betting . They probably come in more often than pre-match ones. In live, you can place bets on goals from favorite teams that lose during the match, and the odds on their goal increase, or place bets in the second half on another goal scored, if all the prerequisites for this are present.

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 the 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 required amount(up to a million) by monthly putting aside small amounts 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 put aside long-term long 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.


For this purpose I carried out analogy with a real bank deposit.

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 don’t yet have an alternative honest method of passive income that could fulfill 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.

Do you like sports? Do you want your hobby to also generate income? Then you can try to make money by betting on sporting events. And 10 will help with this simple rules for beginner players.

1. At the very beginning you should determine what it is for you rates. If winning is not your goal, then there is no point in reading the article further. But if sports betting for you a way to get rich, then you need to treat them as work.

To do this you need:

Develop your own or use ready-made game strategies (passive - bet on the most likely event, aggressive - bet on a controversial match);

Determine your gaming bank (how much money you are willing to spend on bets, how many bets you want to place, what size bets will suit you so as not to go bankrupt right away);

Be constantly up to date with the events of the sport on which you decide to bet your money.

2. Eliminate the word “surely” from your vocabulary. How can you be 100% confident in betting in such an unpredictable area as sports? Moreover, this forecast is most likely based only on odds. It is unlikely that your game needs such a risk that does not fit into overall strategy making a profit. Such a bet, of course, gives the probability of winning, but a bet on the favorite usually has a small coefficient (1.1-1.4), and this is a too slow increase in capital.

3. You should also make it a rule to only play in large bookmakers, because the larger the company, the more it values ​​its reputation. Therefore, first make inquiries about how long the company has been in existence, what reviews they leave about it, and only after that place your bets. Here are some names of major bookmakers: Pinnaclesports, Bet365, Bwin, Betfair, WilliamHill, Unibet, Sportingbet, Planetofbets, Pari-match, 10Bet.

When you see high odds offered by small offices, remember that free cheese only comes in mousetraps. Are there any guarantees that tomorrow they will not evaporate with your money?

4. Also, you should not bet on obvious favorites, because the odds are low, and they can end up in a draw or even lose; there are a lot of such examples. But the funny thing is that these bets are the most popular among players. If suddenly you decide to do this, do not place a large bet on the favorite to win.

Because of this, you can lose a considerable amount, and in order not to go into the red and win back the lost money, you will need to place bets and win several times in a row. To prevent this from happening, try to bet on the total coefficient (a bet on the total number of goals scored), handicap (the difference in goals scored) or exact count.

5. Don't place parlay bets. These are bets that include several outcomes, the odds of which are multiplied. But the bet does not win if even one event does not play out, so the higher the final odds, the more events there are and the higher the risk of loss.

But if you still decide to try put express, then try to choose a chain of no more than 2-3 events in which the coefficient is not higher than 2. Selecting such events will not be easy, you need experience and knowledge, so advice for beginners - put in singles.

6. It happens to everyone when luck turns around and all your bets win, at such a time you need to continue playing as long as you are lucky, but when a couple of bets have not played out, you need to be able to stop so as not to lose the bank and go bankrupt. This is not easy to do, because at such moments the mind fades into the background, and a person is controlled by emotions. “Now he’ll trample again, now I’ll win and get back everything I lost” - this is the beginning of a big loss, because you start increasing your bets with the hope of winning back, but you lose again and again. So the whole bank goes to nothing, and you are left with nothing.

7. It is always necessary to follow the chosen strategy, calculated in advance, with a certain degree of probability. In it you have already determined for yourself the size of each bet (approximately 1-3% of total amount bank, so losing will not hit your budget too much), the number of different bets per week, how many single and how many express bets you need to make to increase your income. If you start to retreat from the strategy that you yourself have chosen, then this will be the beginning of the path to bankruptcy. And make it a rule not to increase your fixed rate by more than a few points. This will also help you avoid going bankrupt soon.

8. Also, you should not place your bets out of personal attachment to any teams or athletes. They should not be related in any way to your future profits. After all, if you bet on your favorite football team, but it doesn’t have better times, someone was injured, the coach decided to save someone and left someone in reserve, someone was simply out of shape. This can easily trigger the loss of the entire bank. And if you bet on your opponent and win, then next game your favorites, you will be able to go to the stadium and cheer for them live, thereby proving your love and devotion to the team.

9. As with any job, when placing your bets, you need to be aware of events. You can’t just come at the behest of your heart and put your hand on someone. First you need to do research, read reviews, . The Internet can help with this in the best possible way; here, in addition to articles, you can also review all the games of a team or athlete to see what shape they are in and how they feel. Spend a little of your personal time analyzing the situation in a particular sport, and only then place a bet. This will help avoid unnecessary expenses.

10. The most important thing is to never forget that life without stakes exists. Do not change your bets on your family, children, parents, friends. These people will always support you, even if you fail, they will be there and help you get through any difficulties.

System of making money on bets: 3 best strategies

Games at a bookmaker's office require careful thought. Of course, analysis plays the main role, but there are also certain schemes for making money on sports betting that allow you to remain at an advantage in any case. It is worth considering several options, for example, fork, flat, percentage of the bank or fixed profit and choose the ideal option specifically for your situation.

You can work with forecasts yourself by carefully collecting and evaluating data. It is also possible to use special programs. Many people do not trust technology and prefer to purchase ready-made forecasts from specialists. They can be easily found and purchased relatively inexpensively. In most cases, the costs pay off, especially if the player is willing to make big bets.

There is a huge amount of detail in the strategies. However, in general, there are three ways to make money at bookmakers:

  • Bet on the favorite. Usually the winnings in these cases are small. If in advance one athlete is much stronger than the other, then the coefficient will be very small, but this is practically a guarantee of earnings.
  • Fork strategy. Playing at several offices in order to place different bets on the same game and in any case remain in the black (for example, you bet in one office on a draw, in another on a win, and in a third on a loss). The main thing is to carefully consider the amounts.
  • Bet on the underdog. This is always a serious risk. However, if there is a win, then the amount of money really turns out to be impressive.

Now it is proposed to place bets in real offices or use websites. In any case, betting is a great way to make money and have a great time. Look sports competition it gets a lot more interesting. Everyone will now be filled with adrenaline and will begin to worry about their favorite team much more. As a result, if you win, you will receive not only moral satisfaction, but also a pleasant material bonus. All that remains is to choose a specific bookmaker and try to make your own first bet.

Earning money on sure bets at bookmakers

Knowing how to make money on arbs between bookmakers, you can get a guaranteed win.
The main advantages of this method are simplicity, win-win, and a wide selection of tools for betters. The fork technique is based on a mathematical strategy that allows you to calculate the probability of winning.

To make money effectively using this method, follow a number of tips:

  • Place only round bets, since values ​​like 1.1523 immediately give away the “arber”, which bookmakers who do not want to share the jackpot with professional players struggle with;
  • If you use this method on one exchange, creating several accounts at once, then always try to clear your browser cache and change the IP address.
  • If you work with LIVE bets, be sure to keep an eye on the odds, as they may change.

How to quickly make money on bets: express

If you want to get your winnings quickly, then express bets are suitable for you. This strategy involves betting on several events at once. If you guess correctly, the odds will be multiplied, allowing you to get a solid win. However, in this case there is a risk - if you make a mistake, your winnings will be lost. To reduce the risk of failure, use bet insurance. The advantage of this strategy is that you will be able to use the same amount to bet on different competitions that may be taking place at the same time.
To obtain maximum win, follow these tips:

  • do not aim for more than 2-3 events (this will allow you to reduce risks);
  • do not choose too small coefficients;
  • Before the game, look at the statistics for the teams, find out about all the nuances and changes on the official website of the organizers (after all, replacing even one player can affect the outcome of the game).

Don’t waste time and start making money from your knowledge of sports if you are really confident in your abilities and intuition!

Sports betting attracts people with the opportunity to get rich easily. However, in reality, only a few earn consistently at a bookmaker’s office. It is possible, but very difficult. Beginners who have just come to betting are wondering: is it possible to make money on sports betting? To begin with, we will answer briefly and in understandable language, and then we will delve into the details.

In order for your bets to be winning and bring you an income that is comparable to the average salary, thoroughly understand betting. Study hundreds of articles and publications, read several books, watch educational videos and even films about sports betting. However, theoretical preparation in this matter is not the most important component. Not all university graduates, even prestigious ones, become successful and highly paid specialists. But to succeed in betting, you need to try, starting with gaining knowledge and then practical experience.

If you are not able to take betting seriously and as a real job, forget about making money with their help. Making profit from bookmakers is possible, but problematic. Therefore, only a few become successful cappers, because the majority of clients of bookmakers lose and are in the red at a distance.

Probability theory in betting

The result of any sporting event is an accident. The outcome is never known in advance. The occurrence of a particular outcome is assessed by probability, which is expressed as a percentage and then as coefficients. A clear example is tossing a coin. The chances of getting “heads” and “tails” are the same – 50%. But if everything is obvious with a coin, then it is much more difficult to correctly assess the probability of the outcome of a sports competition, because it is influenced by an innumerable number of factors.

If you toss a coin a dozen times, it may land on heads each time. It's unlikely, but possible. You can check it yourself, maybe you will witness something like this. But if you toss a coin a hundred times, then there will probably be “heads”, and not just “tails”. From this comes the main concept in betting – variance.

Dispersion indicates deviations of the result from mathematical expectation. If the distance is short, then the deviation will be significant. In our example, out of 10 times one side can fall out, or 7 “heads” and 3 “tails” and any other combination. But when the coin is tossed 1000 times, the combination changes and approaches the expected 50/50.

Sports betting is a constant risk

The result of a match that becomes the subject of bets has its own probability. Let’s say Liverpool wins the match against Tottenham. However, it is problematic to correctly determine the chances of outcomes, because the victory of one of the parties is influenced by many details. No one can say the exact probability: neither bookmaker analysts, nor experts, nor athletes, and especially not bettors. You can only predict an event and place a bet with a high chance of success, but there will never be a win-win and 100% chance.

The bookmaker's office reveals its opinion about the event through odds. Read how bookmakers form quotes. Ideally, a coefficient of 2.0 is 50%, 1.5 is 66%, and so on. However, this does not mean that the outcome with odds of 2.0 (50%) will win every other time. To understand why, let's return to variance.

At a short distance, bet with odds. 2.0 can either play 10 times in a row or lose the same number of times. When beginners are lucky and win 7-8 bets out of 10, they think that this is easy money, but the situation changes with subsequent transactions. Let's remember the example with the coin.

There is a widespread belief among beginners that after a failure, the chances of success in the next bet increase. This is wrong. In reality, the probability of a positive result does not depend on the previous outcome. If heads come up 10 times in a row, this does not mean that tails are more likely to come up the 11th time. The probability remains the same – 50%. Remember that every bet is a new risk.

Earning money at a distance is important

Now it is obvious that talking about the profitability of forecasts is possible only over a long distance. And 100 bets is not a sufficient interval, since with such a number of transactions, the dispersion is still large. Roughly speaking, even a person far from sports and betting can guess 60 match results out of 100 with a coefficient of about two. But this does not mean that this person is a professional capper or a “plus” player. In the future, dispersion will even out the results and will not give chances for random profit.

A decent distance depends on the odds. The higher the quotes, the greater the dispersion, which means you need as long a distance as possible. If a bettor bets on odds of 1.9-2.1, then at least 1000 transactions are needed to assess real abilities. A shorter distance will not reflect the real capabilities of the capper, since due to the pronounced dispersion, the randomness factor is large.

Forecasters, of which there are a lot on the Internet, showing statistics of 50-100 transactions, even if it is 82+3=15-, do not prove anything. AND back side medals: if a capper made 5-6 misfires in a row, or even more, this does not mean that he is a fraudster or mediocrity. Evaluate your performance at a distance. Beginners don’t know this, so scammers take advantage of this and profit from gullible players by selling pseudo-forecasts that will not bring profit.

Bookmaker's margin is the bettor's enemy

The bookmaker makes money thanks to margin. To understand what this is, let's go back to flipping a coin. The probability of each side appearing is 50%, which means the odds should be 2.0. But if the first player bets 100 rubles on “heads”, and the second the same amount on “tails”, then someone will win 100% of them, but the office will not earn anything, because they will simply give the money of one client to another (win of one player - 200 rubles). Therefore, in such a situation the coefficient will not be 2.0, but for example 1.9 (depending on the size of the bookmaker’s margin).

In such a situation, the office pays the winner 190 rubles, although 200 were bet. The missing 10 rubles is the margin (commission), without which it is impossible to imagine the existence of the bookmaker. Regardless of the result (“heads” or “tails”), the office is guaranteed to make money.

When the bookmaker's analytical staff evaluates opposite outcomes with identical odds, then identical quotes are offered. Because of this, the office remains in the black at a distance, receiving a stable income. The margin eats up part of the player's profit, so it becomes incredibly difficult to make money. Yes, it will be possible to temporarily replenish your wallet, but it is almost impossible to ensure that betting completely replaces work and becomes the main, and most importantly, permanent income.

It is more important for the office’s analysts to predict what players will bet on and where will he go main flow of funds. Based on this, they set odds. The real assessment of the probability of outcomes fades into the background, because the bookmaker must balance the bets on the event. After all, if there is an obvious outcome, then everyone will bet on it, while the opposite option will not attract bets at all. In such a situation, the office will make money only if the clients’ bets are lost.

So is it really possible to make money on bets?

In the short term - yes, but as a permanent income that would provide you with at least several years - no. Even the best analysts, due to margins, show minimal profits or are in the red.

You can make money by finding inflated quotes. If the bookmaker determines the probability of the outcome more precisely, then you will win constantly. The main task is to turn the margin in your favor. And here the confrontation begins not only with the office, but also with other bettors.

When the majority of players estimate the winner incorrectly, distortions arise due to loads (a huge amount is bet on one outcome, and almost no one bets on the opposite). In this case, the coefficient for the reverse option increases. Let’s say someone took a chance and bet a huge amount on a total of goals over 2.5. The bookmaker reduces the odds for this outcome, and raises the odds for a total less than 2.5, so as not to incur losses. So don't be afraid to go against it public opinion.

Summary

Even if only a few people make money from betting on sports. The margin does not always provide bookmakers with profit, so many resort to fraud by blocking the accounts of successful players or delaying payments to them.

Sometimes bets are blatantly cancelled, allegedly due to match-fixing, or the client is informed that it was not he who executed the transactions, but someone on his behalf. Bookmakers that don’t care about their reputation decide to completely reset user balances by placing bets in their place. Proving the truth in such a situation is problematic. This suggests that it is not always easy for the bookmaker to make a profit, so he is forced to play dishonestly. Although, even owners of successful bookmakers are capable of deceiving in order to enrich themselves even more.

You can make money on bets if you correctly assess the probability of outcomes and compare them with quotes. Identify value odds and play those markets where you have a mathematical advantage.

A bookmaker's office is a place where you can leave either a rich person, with a smile from ear to ear, or an extremely poor and morally depressed person. Unfortunately, by looking at statistics or personal observations, we can establish that there are much more second-guessers than successful players. And of those who come out happy, there are even fewer who can/are trying to earn a stable income and provide a living for themselves. So, on the one hand, everything seems to be quite simple: a cool mind, prudence, statistics, players’ form and business... or let’s say “money in the bag.” On the other hand: this is a game and anything can happen here!

How to make money on bets

A certain percentage of players, even if small, have a good income from bets over a long period of time. Such people (they also call themselves professional betters) adhere to certain rules. Here are some of them:

  1. Bets must be placed only on the sport in which the bettor understands. Without knowing the rules of the game and the rules of refereeing, it is very difficult to analyze the situation and make an informed choice.
  2. The main criterion for choosing a bookmaker is the conditions for players. It makes absolutely no difference how far it is from you, the main thing is that the odds are high.
  3. You need to spend a lot of time reading analytical articles and watching reviews of specific matches/championships, as well as studying the results of sporting events (even if they do not have direct relationship to the bets placed).
  4. You should develop your own betting strategy and find a balance between bets with minimum odds, average, but less stable and, in some cases, risky.
  5. Risk diversification and effective bank management should come first. That is, it is highly not recommended to take more than 1-2% of the total capital for one bet, especially if you are not sure of a positive outcome.
  6. Live bets, express bets on more than four events, bets “to watch a match”, any types of systems - all this is excluded, as it interferes with the success of the game over a long distance.

How to make money on betting for a beginner

Everything discussed above applies exclusively to professionals. It is unlikely that a beginner will be able to competently analyze a sporting event (even just understanding the terminology will not be easy for him). However, thanks trust management, they have the opportunity to earn a stable income. The bottom line is this: you choose a professional bettor to whom you will transfer your money. He takes them into circulation, makes the “correct” bets (he still has more experience than you, and he has established connections over many years of work), and then transfers the money to you, of course, minus the fee for his services.

Let's also not forget about one more person who can make good money from sports betting- owner of a bookmaker's office. By definition, it is always in the black due to correctly constructed odds. Take, for example, tennis 1.90 and 1.90 on each side. Where did the other 0.10 and 0.10 go? I think you already guessed that the bookmakers are in the pocket. Considering how many people bet, they are indifferent to any drawdowns on one side or another.

Conclusion

Stable earnings on bets are not such an unattainable goal as it seems at first glance. Every player, both a betting professional and a novice privateer, is potentially capable of making good money at a bookmaker’s office, not to mention the organizers of this business.

Reviews and comments

In fact, there are entire communities of people who make money on such bets. Of course, not millions, but this allows them not to work anywhere else and still feel comfortable. So if you approach the matter with such a question, then my answer is yes, it’s possible.

It is possible to earn a stable income from anything. you just need to approach the issue seriously and always with cold calculation. If you give free rein to your emotions, you are simply doomed to failure. I know people who bet 10,000 rubles on the exact outcome of a match and won.

It is simply unrealistic to make stable money on something that contains elements of unpredictability. Randomness can undermine any well-established system, although these accidents can be taken into account mathematically, but still, if we talk about the stability of earnings, this is not the case.

Radik, I completely agree with you. Only a bookmaker can earn consistently - since he has an unlimited (compared to the player) money supply and, in the long term, due to correctly set odds for events, he will not be left at a loss in any case; or the person who organizes “contractual” events shares the profit, but is guaranteed to win.

Vsevolod, why not, there are a sufficient number of privateers for whom betting is the main type of income.

Qwer, I agree. Many people live off bets, and I would say not bad. Anyone who is well versed in sports can not only make money by betting on events, but also sell forecasts. if the capper is good, then his forecasts will be in great demand.

I want to say that for those who make correct forecasts and get a good profit from it, there is no need to bother at all and sell forecasts. As for whether it is possible to make money on bets, I can confidently say that it is possible, you just need to overcome your passion and love sports.

I read the blog of one bettor who has been living on bets for 10 years, he places big bets only on singles football, he opened his night club V big city. He only bets on victories of one of the teams, without draws. Many offices already prohibit him from betting. But he is a professional and knows about the match on which he is betting everything.

I have no doubt that there are such people. I don’t know about the ban, of course, because you can easily register and install via the network. I also want to note that the game is very correct in terms of singles, it is not possible to win by constantly betting express bets, one event will always hold.

You don’t always need to win, but it is quite possible to be in the black on express bets. Again, depending on what kind of express trains are, if there are 2 events, then it is quite realistic, verified by personal experience.

Of course, it is possible to earn a stable income from betting, many people do it, but at the same time it is not easy. Necessary:

  • Betting experience - one year or more
  • You need to have a good understanding of the sport you bet on.
  • Follow all competitions and analyze statistics
  • Hone the correct psychology and attitude towards winning and losing
  • Work out your winning strategy, again this requires experience

If all this happens, then it is quite possible to earn a stable income.

As a rule, there is no strategy. As much as I know and are looking for this win-win strategy, it all depends on how much information you have about the match and only on that. And to calculate something with the help of mathematics, it seems to me that they have been trying to do this for a hundred years, but they still cannot find a solution.

The cappers make money, and we are the ones who think that we can make money on beech. bets - let's play! We play and lose our money, getting excited. But bookmaking has its own money management, it would be better to adhere to it. That is: you need to correctly distribute risks, betting a maximum of 5% of the total budget on a particular game. Betting all your capital on one outcome is utopian.

It all depends on the person, if he knows everything in this form and takes it into account, then I think it’s possible. For example, a friend of mine bets only on Russian teams that he is well versed in and receives a stable income. He bought a car at the bets.

naruto4225, why does he bet on Russian teams? RFPL or 1-2 divisions? There is just a chance that your friend knows the “negotiables” (buys them on the Internet). Of course, if you take bets seriously, you can make consistent money from it. You need to adhere to competent money management: for example, bet no more than 2-3% of your capital on one outcome (bet).

Yes, no, there are no agreements. It’s just that he very closely follows Russian club players and from this draws conclusions about where to put him. This often works. For him, this is like additional income. As you understand, he doesn’t bet on all the matches.

Of course you can... But with a cool head.

Sergey Turkin

Only a few earn using their professional strategies! Betting is a risk. You can beat the office once, or twice or thrice, but the fourth or fifth time you lose!

all these strategies, tactics, cold calculations and, in principle, forecasts are complete nonsense and nonsense, ultimately going into the negative, only bets on a confident outcome from people whom you decided to trust, from the very beginning of the partnership, vipscore.ru aroused trust in me, and with the first bets they provided and to this day my confidence in the correctness of the path I have chosen for stable income on bets.
