Is it possible to make money on sports predictions. "So I realized that I was ill."

Many novice bookmaker players, or people who just want to try to monetize their knowledge in the field of sports, are interested in the question: "Is it possible to make money by betting on sports?" In this article we will try to answer the questions you are interested in, as well as talk without embellishment about whether it is possible to turn sports betting into a highly profitable business.

Making money on bets in bookmakers is not easy. Let's frankly say that not everyone is able to consistently make money on bets, and it is not a fact that you are an exceptional person. For most people, betting at bookmakers is a hobby, a source of adrenaline rush, and some are simply more interested in watching a match when money is at stake. However, there is a category of players for whom betting on sports events has become a means of stable income, they are called. According to unconfirmed reports, there are few such players, only 2-3% of the total number of clients of bookmakers around the world. Professionals' income depends on many factors, but, again, according to unconfirmed reports, such players earn about 60-80% of the initial bank per season. For example, a season lasts about eight months, which means that a professional player's earnings in eight months, with an initial account balance of $ 10,000, will be approximately $ 6,000 - 8,000. Who is stopping you from becoming one of these 2-3% of the lucky ones?

Therefore, the answer to the question "is it possible to earn a living by betting on sports" is - YES IT IS POSSIBLE!

If you do decide to try to get into professional betting, prepare yourself for the fact that you are likely to fail. If you are a gambling person, not a genius of mathematics, or not a grandson of "Vanga", then turning bets into a means of earning will be on the brink of fantasy for you.

Many players who are already clients of bookmakers get mad when they hear that it is unrealistic to make money in a bookmaker's office. It is not entirely clear their indignation, because such indignant not only play for pennies, but also always lose. It would be more accurate to say that these people do not have a stable income on bets, but only from time to time get into a streak of luck, and can even accomplish, as they themselves believe, a real feat, winning from three hundred rubles a thousand. In the end, they still drain everything later, if not the next day, then after a week, a month or two. Such players are "non-positive", and at a long distance they are either in a big minus or in zero.

There are resources on the Internet that claim that it is impossible to consistently profit from sports betting, and this is just entertainment. Meanwhile, there are resources that claim the opposite. According to such sites, sports betting can be profitable, and not small. There are also resources that sell sports predictions, but I don't even want to consider them. Not only do these predictions of gullible newcomers don’t make them richer, they also drive them into the minus. A person who bought a forecast, or a subscription for a whole month, does not even have time to return the money spent on buying this subscription. What a professional bettor earns in eight months, these "craftsmen" earn in 30 days. Isn't it funny?

We cannot agree with either the first or the second type of sites, although in some ways each of them is right. It is possible to make money on sports betting, another question is whether this earnings will be stable and whether it will be so large. In addition, there are a lot of factors that influence the income from bets, well, at least the initial bank and the strategy of the game. If you don't have a large game bank, and even play without a strategy, then most likely you will fail. Some resources claim that winning on bets is hindered by the line laid by the bookmaker. You must clearly understand that this is complete nonsense, the margin will not in any way affect the outcome of the event. Long-distance bookmaker's margin allows the bookmaker to minimize its risks, otherwise how would the bookmaker earn?

Let's look at a small example... The coin has two sides - heads and tails. Having tossed a coin 10 times, heads can fall 5 times, and 8 times, and 4 times - this is a short distance. On a long distance, the number of tosses tends to infinity, and the number of heads or tails will be about 50 to 50. It is pointless to argue about this, you need to take it as an axiom. If the odds given by the bookmaker were always 2.0 and 2.0, then in theory, over the long run, neither you nor he would receive any profit. Therefore, the margin is included in the coefficients, and then they will be, say, 1.90 and 2.0. Let's take a distance of 20 bets, of which 10 you will lose and 10 you will win. For the amount of bets, we will take 100 rubles for convenience. So, having won 10 bets of 100 rubles each with a coefficient of 1.90, you will earn 1900 rubles, with a net income of 900 rubles. Now let's calculate, if you lost 10 bets of 100 rubles each: 100 X 10 = 1000. What we have: for 10 winning bets you earned a net 900 rubles, but lost 1000. It was these 100 rubles that the bookmaker earned, and you These 100 rubles lost 50% of the cross-country ability, although ideally you have a draw in disputes.

Having considered the example, it becomes clear that the margin does not affect the outcome of events, it interferes with earning over a long distance. The only thing that can be done is to take inflated odds, and strictly from 2.0, and this does not guarantee you success.

"Well, then how do professionals make money?", - you ask. Answer: looking for "value bets", bet "", play not "" and its variations, but "" and its improved types.

For some reason, many players are convinced that if you treat betting as a business, then success will certainly come.... I wonder how they imagine it, and what do they mean by the word "business"? It is the bookmaker's betting that is a business, and the overwhelming number of players - "I twist, twirl, I want to win!" The bookmaker, due to the margin, will make a profit regardless of whether your bet passes or not. Your bet has passed, but a hundred other players have not, that's all the math. The bookmaker in this dispute almost does not risk anything, you risk your money.

So, let's summarize... It is possible to win on sports bets, but a stable income on sports bets is a rather dubious and controversial matter. Only 2-3% of players worldwide make money on bets at bookmakers. You can only find out if you can become one of these lucky ones by giving it a try. To start your betting career, you must first learn all the intricacies of the game in a bookmaker's office, learn about all the pitfalls, choose a reliable bookmaker and collect a good bank. And remember, betting at the bookmaker is not your last hope of becoming a successful person and making a big fortune. Good luck!

The desire to consistently receive big money, without doing anything special, haunts every person.

Making money on bets is one of the few ways to get tangible financial benefits. If you are not yet familiar with the world of betting, before starting the game, you will have to learn the most basic rules that can lead to success.

The principle of earnings

The person who places the bets is called the capper (handicapper). Its main task is to guess the outcome of a certain match or event. The amount received depends from the coefficient (the probability of a specific outcome of the event)... In all bookmakers, the principle of its calculation is identical - the more likely the result, the lower the coefficient. Let's look at a specific example.

Let's say there are football teams - “Gaztorg” and “Kramatorts” (the names are invented). The first is at the top of the standings, the second is closer to the bottom. Accordingly, there is a high probability that Gaztorg will win this match as well, since Kramatorsk is frankly weaker. The coefficient mainly depends on statistical data and insignificantly - on the news before the match concerning the given fight.

Initially, bookmakers offered only one betting option - before the start of the match. Now, when modern technologies have made great strides forward, it is possible to make predictions in live mode, that is, right in the course of an event.

How to choose an office?

To make the right choice, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• Availability ;
• the presence of several options for making a deposit to the account;
• reputation of the bookmaker for the entire period of its existence;
• partnerships with sports teams and / or tournament organizers;
• user reviews on the Internet;
• line size.

Line is the number of matches that you can bet on. There are bookmakers, in which the number of matches is several hundred, and there are those in which customers are offered several thousand sports events. Naturally, in this case, the number of available bets can sometimes be 10 thousand or more.

registration

It might seem that the procedure for creating your own account is the same as registering on other portals. In fact, this is not the case. The data must be indicated as accurately as possible, as indicated in the passport. The player must be 18 years old or older. For verification, the bookmaker may require you to send a scan of your passport (usually the first and second pages).

Depending on the rules of the gaming office, scans can be sent during the registration process or after creating an account.

Domestic bookmakers have been operating not so long ago as, for example, English ones. Nevertheless, it is much easier to work with them due to the availability of Russian payment systems and bank cards. However, foreign projects offer much more favorable coefficients. So, for example, in most events William hill(the oldest bookmaker in the world, originally from England) offers odds that exceed the common ones by 10-15 percent.

An important point is the withdrawal procedure. If a certain payment system is not supported (for example, Yandex.Money), you will have to register foreign e-wallets (Payoneer, Neteller, PerfectMoney, and so on). Already from them you can fully withdraw your earned funds. It would seem nothing complicated, but in this way you increase the costs of commissions when transferring.

Which sport should you choose?

The most common question among newbie cappers. The office places bets on dozens of sports. There are also non-traditional proposals related to events in culture, politics and even TV shows.

For the correct selection of this or that type of species, we recommend that you be guided by the following tips:

• Bet on what you like, what you are guided by. For example, if you regularly attend football matches or watch them on TV, there is no point in betting on tennis.
• Check the odds for the events before the start of the match. Practice shows that the highest rates are found in basketball and volleyball. Football matches have lower odds on the outcome, but they are also more reliable and proven. The same is true for tennis.
• You must be very familiar with a particular sport. If you are interested in football, it is imperative to monitor the state of the team. Successful handicappers even pay attention to little things like photos on social media.

Algorithm of work, types of rates

All offices offer their users an identical work algorithm. You need to select an event and then enter the amount of money. After confirming the bet, the selected amount of money will be debited from your account.

If you guess the outcome of the match, the money will be returned back, but at the same time you will receive a profit, the amount of which depends on the coefficient. For example, if you bet $ 100 on a tennis player to win a match with odds of 1.32, you win $ 132 (profit - $ 32). If the event is not guessed, $ 100 will not be refunded. But this does not always happen. More on this below.

Now let's take a look at the types of bets:

• Odds... There are three types - zero, with a minus and a plus. Handicap itself is the difference between goals conceded and goals / points scored. Let's imagine that the giants of Spanish football - Barcelona and Real - meet on the field. Let's consider each handicap option separately:
  • By placing a handicap (0) on the first team, you will win if the score is 1: 0, 2: 0, 2: 1, and so on. If the team loses, the bet will be considered lost. But in case of a tie, you will get your deposit back.
  • Having put a handicap (-1.5) on the first team, the bet will play if Barcelona win by 2 goals. For example, if the final result is 2: 0, 3: 0, 3: 1, and so on, you get money along with your winnings. If there is a difference of 1 goal or if Barcelona draws / loses, the bet loses. There is no return in this case.
  • Having put a handicap (+1.5) on the second team, in order to win, Real must not lose with a difference of 2 goals, draw or win. If the score is 3: 1, 4: 2, 2: 0, and so on, you lose.
• 1, 2, x1, x2, x... In this case, everything is simple. The number "1" denotes the winning of the first team, "2" - the second. "X1" is a bet at which you get a win, even if the first team draws. She will only lose if the first team concedes to the second. Similarly, with the "x2" bet, only here we are talking about the second team. The “x” symbol without a number means that the bet will win only if a draw is fixed in the match.
• Lives and Line... Live is a bet that can be placed during the event. The line shows matches that can only be bet before the start. In live bets, the odds are usually lower, because with every minute, point or goal, the probability of a bet increases. Although you can raise a lot of money by betting on an outsider and hoping that he will turn the tide of the fight.
• Ordinary and Express... These are types of bets that differ in the number of matches you can bet on. An ordinary consists only of a forecast for one event, an express - two or more. In the latter case, the odds are multiplied - by placing, for example, 3 bets on matches with odds of 1.50, 1.47 and 1.32, in the end you get the final odds of 2.91.

Bookmakers also offer a number of other types of bets - totals for the first / second half or the whole match, forecast of the exact score, totals on penalties / penalties / corners / yellow or red cards, and so on.

Should you buy match fixes and predictions?

On the Internet, offers to order the purchase of predictions for regular and fixed matches are actively popularized. And most importantly, many people do use these services. If you decide to order forecasts, you need to remember that there are pitfalls here.

Communities do thrive on social networks, where predictions are posted in the public domain, and in order to get the rates with the maximum pass, they are offered to buy. The amounts can be different - from 1 to 20 thousand rubles. However, it is recommended that you refrain from such purchases. There are several reasons for this:

• Firstly, such information is spread by quite ordinary people who have a little more experience than you. Accordingly, the chances of a successful pass are only slightly higher.
• Secondly, buying such forecasts, you increase expenses from your deposit. It is better to spend 30-50 minutes yourself analyzing a couple of matches than to pay money out of your pocket for a forecast where teams play that you may not have even heard of. Here, no one will give you a 100% guarantee of the success of the passage.

With regard to the so-called "fixing matches", this information is usually not provided to anyone. If someone claims that he has any connections with the management of the clubs or uses other schemes, rest assured that these are ordinary scammers posing as business people.

Even if someone knows such information, he will not spread it even for money.

There have been cases in history when teams played suspiciously, and many huge bets were registered in bookmakers on an outcome that initially seemed unrealistic. Further, the special committee began the proceedings, and such teams were fined. "Agreements" are made only by those who are directly related to the team, but such people will never disseminate such information.

Remember: there are no 100% strategies that can provide guaranteed winnings... There are only those that give the result as close as possible to one hundred percent. One of them is "dogon". It is ideal for tennis betting. Let's consider a specific case.

Let's say two tennis players meet each other - the first is in the top ten of the world rankings, the second is out of the fourth hundred. Of course, the odds for a clear win for the first player will be negligible. Therefore, bets are placed on the games in the catch-up. The task is to bet on the fact that the opponent will win someone else's serve. The strategy requires a large amount of money on the account, as well as a little luck. For example, we have a deposit of one thousand rubles:

• The first game, served by the 1st player, the odds for winning the game by the second player - 4. Stake - 5 rubles. Lost.
• The second game is served by the 2nd player, the odds for winning the game by the first player is 2.25. The rate is 10 rubles. Lost.
• The third game, served by the 1st player, the odds for winning the game by the second player - 3.90. The rate is 20 rubles. Lost.
• The fourth game, served by the 2nd player, the odds for winning the game by the first player - 2.41. The rate is 40 rubles. Won.

We spent 5 + 10 + 20 + 40 = 75 rubles on bets. In the fourth game, the first player won someone else's serve, and we got 96.4 rubles. Our winnings amounted to 21.4 rubles.

As far as helpful advice goes, the main thing is to be disciplined. Never place bets in order to win back quickly. This usually leads to complete bankruptcy. Make yourself a certain schedule, write down all the nuances. This will allow you to efficiently use your budget, as well as guarantee a stable receipt of winnings.

Frequent mistakes

The most common mistakes include the following:

• lack of discipline, desire to win back quickly;
• desire to get a million from a hundred in just a couple of days;
• trust in "false forecasters" who instill in their clients that a win is guaranteed;
• regular placement of bets on the victory of your favorite team;
• registration of "random" bets, information about which has not been analyzed.

How much can you earn and is it real?

Successful cappers can double their bank in just 1-2 weeks. Depending on what the final coefficients are, daily you can get a profit equal to 3-100%.

If we take, for example, the daily increase in the deposit by three percent, after a month it will increase two and a half times. If you work on this principle for six months, investing 1000 rubles, you will receive 244 thousand. But this is subject to a competent analysis of matches and discipline.

Bet Analysis Video

The video below provides a detailed story on how to properly analyze football matches:

At the very beginning of the article, anticipating lengthy arguments, I will answer - you can definitely make money on bets. How much you can earn, what strategy to use, what sports to bet on - all these and many other questions will be answered in detail in this article.

To begin with, any profitable occupation requires certain qualities and efforts from a person. You should not consider making money on bets as simple and affordable. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of players find themselves in the red in the long run, opposing the bookmakers. Only a few out of hundreds or even thousands manage to receive a stable income from betting on sports events. This suggests that the bettors' bread is by no means easy and usually everything goes against the player. There is even a saying: "Betting is the hardest path to easy money." I would not say at all that there are easy money in bets, in the context of one day - maybe, but in the "long term" - this is really hard work, like everyone else.

It is very important to distinguish between short-term gains and long-term earnings. In the first case, having made a dozen bets, you can multiply your bank many times, achieving a fantastic return on your bets. But this is not about making money. Anything can happen in a short space of time. Earning, on the other hand, implies a long process, as a result of which the client of the bookmaker's office has a constant stable income. It is very difficult to achieve the latter, because the essence of bookmakers is to leave the player without funds in the long term. So, if you want to really make money, then you must have a clear idea of ​​how much profit you can get from bets. The announced figure may disappoint and alienate many, but this will also warn against reckless financial losses of overly dreamy characters.

An annual profit of about 50% is an excellent indicator. However, the size of the potential profit is inextricably linked to risks.

Therefore, by increasing the riskiness of the game strategy, you can achieve higher numbers. You can play large amounts, which will significantly increase the potential profit, but at the same time, the likelihood of losing the entire pot increases. For the profit from bets to be tangible, the pot must be very impressive and therefore the likelihood of losing it completely is a serious threat.

How to start making money steadily?

Some may wonder if everything is so bad and only a small part of people beat the bookmaker, then why do people play, carry their money to betting points or replenish the electronic accounts of bookmakers through the MCCIS. If the profit is not so great, and the statistics speaks against the player, then what's the point? In fact, everything is simple.

People are driven by excitement, they are ready to part with money for exciting feelings of winning and they are not worried about defeat if they are followed by pleasant victories. They deliberately or unconsciously refuse to fulfill certain requirements in order to make a profit from bets, because the excitement is lost, it’s boring, it doesn’t bring crazy emotions. This turns into trivial calculations in which emotions need to be pushed into the background.

Few people are satisfied with such an alignment, because in the rates people find emotional recharge, drive, a kind of adrenaline. To exchange all this for a stable profit, which slowly accumulates from month to month - this is all completely uninteresting and the players leave money in bookmakers, spreading the opinion that it is impossible to make money in bookmakers, and if there are loopholes, then the so-called “ surebets ", which are dishonest in many bookmakers.

To start making money with rates steadily, pull yourself together and approach business with a sober mind. This is work, not fun. Do not seek instant enrichment. It still won't work. Once you are confident and ready to start properly, proceed to the initial steps. It's like primary classes at school, without which it is impossible to start a long journey. This may sound like bullshit, but take it seriously.

The Internet is an inexhaustible source of knowledge. If you want, you can find a lot of useful information. The specialists of our site not only have collected valuable materials in one place, but also share their own experience, because they constantly play in bookmakers. And successfully.

First of all, understand the terminology, designations and types of bets. We have many useful sections, and if you suddenly cannot find the answer to a question, write in the comments. We will definitely answer or prepare a voluminous material.

For a general understanding of betting, I recommend watching movies and reading books on this topic. Draw knowledge from all kinds of sources. Become a sponge for the first time, but with a filter - absorb only useful information. You understand the essence, so let's finish the reasoning and move on to specifics.

How to make money from sports betting?

So, it was said that players could be in the black if they adhered to certain rules. These are some very simple rules that will lead to player success:

Find overweight bets

This is the cornerstone of sports betting. This is the main task of the player, and it is due to the bets with an edge that it is possible to win. In order to find such rates, it is necessary to be able to estimate the approximate probabilities of a particular event.

For a beginner, this is incredibly difficult. He will often make mistakes, and his bets will often not have an edge due to an incorrect assessment of the probabilities of the event. In order to make accurate predictions, of course, you need to understand the sport for which the predictions are made. In this sport, one should have both the necessary theoretical knowledge and hundreds or thousands of hours of watched sporting events. This requires experience.

However, people who have been interested in sports for a long time usually have sufficient experience to predict the likelihood of events. In addition to the sports component, awareness of how the betting business functions is important. You need to know what margin is, where the Kelly criterion is used and why.

Adhere to an effective betting strategy

The betting strategy determines the rules by which you will make decisions about the choice of an event, the size of the bet, and the bankroll. There are strategies that are mathematically most effective. If you do not deviate from the basic principles and strictly follow the principles, then the element of randomness will be minimized as much as possible.

Have a high monthly rate turnover

It is very difficult. Because you need to find bets with a good margin, which will be profitable. Quality can suffer when trying to increase the number of bids. You need to increase the turnover of bets for one simple reason - this, again, minimizes the effect of randomness on your profits. The larger the turnover, the smaller the statistical error. If you exist on income from betting, then you must not let the coincidence of circumstances leave you without a livelihood. To do this, you need to master new sports, new markets, devote more time to analysis and search for profitable bets.

Despite the seeming simplicity of these rules, not many players can adhere to all three. Moreover, it can be noted that the rules are not formulated specifically. These are rather relative concepts: a large turnover, an effective strategy, and it is impossible to know for sure whether there is an advantage in the chosen bet. For one simple reason. Intuition is necessary here, "chuyka", so to speak. It's akin to charisma or entrepreneurial talent. Something that defies description, but the result is visible.

Minimize risks

Betting is a constant risk, so the main task of the bettor is to minimize them. The first step is to save money and only then increase it.

This point will be well understood by players who have played for at least a month. Remember how you made a bet with a return option (whole total or handicap), and she started losing in live. Now you want at least a return, not a pass. So, sometimes it is better to refrain from the deal and guarantee not to lose than to make a rash bet and lose money.

A way to make money fast for beginners

The method is very simple, but you already know that betting is always a risk, so there is no guarantee. The method is suitable for those who do not have the desire or time to understand betting, or it is simply not your business.

In this case, two ways are possible: find another type of activity or invest in bets. How? Trust the professionals, but do not try to give an invoice for promotion. This is a common deception. Also, don't get fooled by match-fixing. Forewarned is forearmed.

You need to invest your money wisely - buy forecasts from experts and place bets based on their opinion. Funds are needed not only for purchases, but also for bets. In case of successful forecasts, you will earn. Spend part of the money on the next subscription, and withdraw the profit or put it into circulation.

Is it realistic to make money on bets?

Ultimately, you can draw a line under all of the above. If you feel that you can adhere to the rules, love sports, and feel the makings in yourself in order to engage in professional betting, then of course, you have every chance to make money on this activity. However, for people who want to quickly and easily get rich without investing time and effort, I hope it will become clear after this article that sports betting is not a suitable activity for this.

The main thing is to understand that it is almost impossible to find easy ways to make money. It is worth making an effort and demonstrating your knowledge and skills and then you can achieve something. Otherwise, no luck will shine for you in sports betting, or in the game of poker, or in trade, or in construction.

And, of course, you need to understand that a reliable bookmaker is needed for normal operation. You can find one by following the link.

I observe how hundreds of new and branches of already long-standing bookmakers (BC) open every year. This is due to the popularization of this type of gambling, but in this article I want to present the game in the bookmaker's office not as an ordinary entertainment, but as a completely real and permanent source of income. There are few people who constantly earn money in the bookmaker (10-15%), and my task today is to tell you how to become one of the lucky ones.

Have you wondered - is it possible for an ordinary person who has no experience of playing in a bookmaker to make money on bets? My answer is, of course. Successful betters (players) were also beginners. The beginner is faced with a very difficult path, consisting of the stages of training, getting the initial practice of playing in bookmaker, developing his own optimal strategy that brings constant income.

About the types of events on betting in bookmakers

The first thing I recommend that you familiarize yourself with is the types of bets in the bookmaker's office. This is a voluminous question worthy of a separate topic, since there are several dozen, and maybe even more than a hundred, different betting options. I will focus on the most important concepts, which are quite enough in the first stages.

There are two large branches that separate all bets - line play and live bets. Line is a list of all sports events in the bookmaker's office that you can bet on. This includes games that have not started, that is, the bet is placed before the start of the match and the line is closed at the beginning of the match. Live mode allows the player to place bets on events that have already begun at any time in the match.

The next division of rates depends on the number of events in the basket (coupon). If you place a bet on one event, this is called a single.

The combination of single bets in a coupon (basket) is called a multi bet. In this case, the coefficients of all selected events are multiplied. Such a bet will pass if all single events of the multiple are correct. If one event turns out to be not guessed, then the entire express train is burned out.

Another type of bets that depend on the number of events is the system. It looks like the same express, that is, there are several single events in the system. But for the system to pass, it is not necessary to guess all the selected events. To pass the 4/5 system, it is enough to guess 4 bets out of 5. Moreover, if 5 out of 5 events were guessed, then the odds will be almost the same as in the case of an accumulator, but if only 4 out of 5 outcomes were correct, then the winning amount decreases by depending on the coefficients. In systems, usually a large number indicates the number of bets in the coupon, and a smaller number indicates the required number of correct outcomes to enter the system.

Drawing up systems is an interesting type of betting, and when I am asked the question - is it possible to make money on sports betting in this way, then I answer - yes, it can be done. But drawing up systems is a little more complicated than betting in single bets or express bets, keep this in mind when playing.

Types of sports betting for a beginner

Now you can start examining the types of bets related directly to the results of matches. I will highlight a few of the most important types that you should definitely familiarize yourself with before considering specific sports betting strategies:

1. The final outcome of the match ... Depending on the sport, there are 2 or 3 event outcomes. 1 - victory of the first team (player), 2 - victory of the second team (player), 3 - draw. Accordingly, in those sports where a draw is not possible (for example, tennis), only bets are given on the winner of the match. There are sports where overtime is played in case of a draw (hockey, basketball). When betting on these sports, carefully look at the outcomes, since there are bets such as a clear victory for the team (in regulation time) and a victory for a team with overtime taken into account.
2. Double chance ... These types of bets are available in those sports where a draw is allowed in regular time. Here you can place the following types of bets: 1X - victory of the first team (player) or a draw; X2 - victory of the second team (player) or a draw; 12 - victory of any of the teams (player), that is, loss will be in the event of a draw in the match.
3. Total match ... One of the favorite types of bets for most of the players. In bookmaker's office, totals are indicated by both whole and decimal numbers. Let's take football as an example. Total Over 2.5 means that there will be a win if 3 or more goals are scored. Total under 2.5 - you will win if there are 2 or less goals scored in the match. If the total number is an integer, for example 2, then with 3 goals scored there will be a win, and with 2 goals - the bet will be returned in full.
4. Handicap . This type of bet allows you to artificially add a certain number of points to the team (player). For example, team 1 and team 2. We give the team 1 handicap +1.5, which means that this number will be attributed to the team in the final result. The match ends with the score 0-1 in favor of team 2. But since the factor of the handicap is +1.5, team 1 has more points and our bet is passed.
5. Exact score . Everything is clear and so. In BC, you can choose the exact score of the match or, depending on the type of sport, the number of games, games, periods, etc.

Of course, you can manage your finances yourself and bet on these outcomes a convenient amount of money, but I advise you to use competent bank management. This concept means strict control of the number and amount of bets.

Below I will give two of the most common ways to manage the "bank".

1. Fixed percentage of the bank ... In my opinion, this is one of the best variations for a beginner. I would call it strategies for managing your bank in the bookmaker's office. The bottom line is that you need to determine the specific percentage of the bank allocated to each bet. Let's say it's 5%. After each outcome, the bet amount is recalculated depending on the change in the bank. This is a suitable way of managing finances for a beginner, since it is almost impossible to completely merge the bank with it.
2. Fixed rate (flat)... This is almost the same as a fixed interest rate, only in this case you need to choose a specific constant stake amount for yourself and stick to it. Sometimes I distribute my money at the bank in this way, starting with a $ 500 start and allocating $ 50 for each bet. So you can make good money on sports betting on the Internet, and the risk of losing everything is minimal.

5 best sports betting strategies for a beginner

It's time to consider specific examples of working strategies for sports, which I advise every beginner to work out at least on a demo account. I will give you the strategies that were used by me personally and made it possible to earn on bets in bookmakers.

1. Goal in the second half in football (live)... This strategy is my own development based on my own experience and the opinions of other players. I often see how the clear favorite in football cannot score to the opponent before the end of the match. Often goals happen after 80 minutes. I choose matches where the clear favorite did not "print" the outsider's goal by the 70-75 minute and I bet on the goal he scored. The odds here are good, around 2.0-2.5, which allows you to get a good profit.
2. Tennis favorite (live)... How often do you see the favorite in tennis lose 0-2 without taking a single set? I personally see this very rarely. If the favorite has lost 1 set to the outsider, then after a little analysis of the game I bet on the victory of the favorite in the second set. The odds for this event are good, starting from 1.50 and can go up to 2.0.
3. Periods in basketball (live). The principle is almost identical to the scheme in tennis, we need to find a match in live, where a favorite plays with an outsider, you can take a less pronounced favorite. According to statistics, in basketball, the favorite wins at least one quarter. Our task is to find a live match or wait for the favorite to lose the first two quarters to the outsider. It is likely that the favorite will win at least one of the remaining quarters, and we will successfully play with odds from 1.50 to 2.0.
4. Betting on yellow cards in a soccer match. This type of bet is available on many matches in some bookmakers. Sometimes you can see bets on the number of yellow cards even in live game mode. The essence of the strategy is that it is necessary to analyze the opponents well before the start of the match and predict whether the game will be aggressive or not. Better to play Total More Yellow Cards and choose matches where you think the game will be aggressive. I advise you to play for teams from countries such as Italy, England, Spain. These championships are distinguished by the fact that there is often a tough game and there are really many yellow cards. Also suitable for the selection of matches of principal rivals, as well as fights of increased importance, where players will fight to the last and often break the rules.
5. Tennis breaks. A tennis break is when the player receiving the serve wins the game. To play this strategy, you need to choose a tennis match where there is a favorite (the coefficient for the player's victory in the match up to 1.50). Examples of suitable favorites include players like Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Wawrinka and other strong tennis players. The favorite often breaks in 1 set in order to provide a proper advantage over the opponent from the very beginning of the game. I advise you to bet on the favorite to win in a game when an underdog is serving. Often times, breaks happen on 1 or 2 outsider serve, but it may happen that the favorite breaks at the end of the set. This is not a big deal, the odds for this event are close to 3.0, which allows you to play calmly and raise rates until you win. If the favorite makes a break, bets on this match must be stopped and another fight must be looked for.

The described strategies are not distinguished by complex mathematical calculations and deep analysis. I didn’t want to give advice to a beginner in playing too clever strategies. The well-known "Kelly Criterion", "Oscar Grind", "Danish System" and other betting schemes on sports events, a beginner should definitely not be considered as introductory to the world of betting. And their profitability does not seem very attractive to me.

In conclusion, here are 7 of the most important tips for beginners:

1. Do not rush to choose a bookmaker... Carefully read reviews from well-known analysts and read reviews of bookmakers from ordinary players. The most offensive thing is to run into an unscrupulous institution that will take your money illegally. For example, I have been betting through a bookmaker for several years now. "League of Bet"... Now there is an action: “ Freebet 500 rubles for registration«.
2. Disconnect the excitement... If you are going to earn money, and not have fun in the office, then forget what passion is. Find a way to turn off this feeling.
3. Say no to express trains... Yes, a small express in 2-3 well-chosen outcomes of matches is allowed. And "steam locomotives" with 10 events are a probable loss
4. Don't bet all in, since there is no one hundred percent rate. Even an event with odds of 1.01 may fail.
5. Do not recoup, but earn... You need to understand that when you lose, you do not need to drive yourself forward in order to quickly win back the loss. If it so happens that part of the bank is lost, forget about this money and continue playing according to the chosen strategy.
6. Don't blindly believe odds... If the odds of 1.15 are given in the line for a team to win, this does not mean that it is a clear favorite and that you can bet on its victory. Bookmakers are also mistaken and may misjudge the event. Analyze your bets and make them wisely.
7. Don't fall for scammers' tricks... Remember that “match-fixing” is not sold for 1000 rubles, especially on the Internet. Information about "agreements" costs thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars and is available in a narrow circle of people.

If you've read this article, I can safely say that don't make the mistake of newcomers to sports betting. Try to open a demo account at a branch and look for a strategy that suits you. And remember that testing a strategy for a few days is not enough to identify a strategy. Experienced players, before playing for real money, test a certain sports betting scheme on a demo account for a month or more. Be patient, learn how to analyze matches correctly, and you will definitely be able to make money on sports bets.

Football is the most popular sport. Many millions of fans, professional and novice players, analysts, etc. understand it, know the peculiarities of individual teams and athletes, follow what is happening in the world of sports. Is it possible to make money on football betting knowing only sports nuances?

Let's make a reservation right away: fans often lose... They bet on their favorite team, regardless of the actual state of affairs on the field. This is good if you want to support the team and make some money if you are lucky. If you want to turn football betting into the main form of income, you will have to give up your “favorites”.

Game strategy

The main mistake of novice players is the desire to get everything at once, and in the complete absence of a clear strategy. A person bets on the outcome of large sums, without any safety net, and counts solely on luck. It might work once. The second time, the player will lose the entire bank.

One of the safest strategies to make money on football betting is called "Shchukin's strategy"... The player places bets on the number of goals scored. The essence of the method is as follows:

1. The game bank is divided into parts (for example, 100 rubles each).
2. The player makes the first bet in the amount of 100 rubles at the odds of 1.30.
3. If the bet wins, the next day the player bets 130 rubles (the amount of the first bet plus the amount won) on the same odds. The next day - already 170 rubles.

The main points are determined by the player himself. For example, the period during which one chain is running. Many people choose the calendar month - in this case, the player must make 30 bets without a single loss. Others choose a calendar week - the risk of losing is reduced, but the potential earnings are less. You can further reduce the risk of losing by making not one bet with odds of 1.30, but three bets with odds of 1.10. The main thing is to choose the right matches and remember that if you lose, you will only lose the amount of the first bet.

Another strategy with minimal risk is called "On the favorite"... The essence of the strategy is to select matches for bets with a clear favorite and a clear outsider and bet on the leader. When choosing a match, there are two rules that must be followed:

1. The odds for the favorite should not be higher than 1.50. The lower the odds, the lower the risk.
2. The odds for the outsider should be at least twice as high as the odds for the favorite (ideally 3.10 or more).

Ideally, you should develop your own gaming strategy based on your knowledge of football, bookmaking, analytical skills and financial capabilities. At some time interval, even the Martingale strategy is a win-win - the only problem is that the game bank may end earlier.

Match analysis as the basis for successful bets

Many players neglect pre-match analysis and place bets focusing exclusively on the odds of the bookmaker's offices. This approach is wrong: the size of the coefficients depends on many factors, and the probability of a victory of a particular team is only one of them.

To make money on football betting, you need to analyze matches.

Before making money on betting on football, you need to spend time collecting and analyzing information - about the chosen football league, about teams and athletes. It is necessary to assess the readiness of the teams for the match, motivation and history of recent meetings.

At the same time, you should not scatter and analyze all the football matches that bookmakers offer. To make a stable profit on sports betting, just select a few major tournaments and thoroughly study everything related to them... About 24 hours per event - view data for a specific match. In a few hours - get acquainted with the final composition, draw conclusions and bets.

Fixed matches and paid predictions

Another mistake of both beginners and experienced players is over-reliance on match-fixing and paid predictions. Everyone at least once came across the proposals of "one hundred percent sure".

To answer the question of whether it is possible to make money on football betting with the help of agreements, it is enough to understand what a fixed match is. This is a game with a predetermined outcome. To make money on this outcome, you need the odds to be large enough. Therefore - so that the outcome was unexpected, and there were few bets on it. Conclusion - people who know about the match fix simply do not need to upload data to the Internet so that everyone who is not too lazy to place bets and knock down quotes. In addition, agreements are monitored by sports officials, if they are found, the results of matches are canceled, and those involved are removed from sports competitions. 99 percent of the "internet deals" are conventional predictions at best.

Forks: bet without risk

One of the risk-free ways to make money on football betting is by using surebets.

The player makes bets in several offices on all possible outcomes. Due to the difference in the coefficients in different bookmakers, the probability of making a profit in theory is 100 percent. In reality, it is always possible to cancel bets, change odds, etc.

Surebet betting usually occurs in live betting mode, in the midst of a football match, when the situation on the field is rapidly changing. To keep up with the situation, you need to keep the sites of several bookmakers open, instantly draw the right conclusions, look for suitable odds and remember about the margin. The main condition of the bookmaker's surebet, in the absence of draws, the odds for each team to win must be more than 2.00.

The choice of a bookmaker does not directly affect the success of the game. However, there are many indirect factors.

A reliable bookmaker is needed for a stable income on football betting

A variety of bets in the bookmaker's line allows you to work out several strategies and develop your own one that meets the requirements and capabilities of a particular player.

The size of the player's earnings depends on the value of the bookmaker's odds. At the same time, there is no need to chase record indicators: if the odds in a little-known office are 2-3 times higher than the market average, this is a reason to refuse the services of this bookmaker or to get acquainted with the available information in more detail.

The safety of the money earned depends on the reliability of the bookmaker's office. If the office blocks the accounts of successful players, one day you may lose the bank.

The presence of an official license to work in the country guarantees an impartial analysis of all possible problems. Legal Russian bookmakers carry out all settlements with clients through MCCIS, and if necessary, the player can contact the appropriate authorities. Offices without a national license operate on the basis of a permit issued by one of the offshore companies. And in such offices, the decision of the administration is considered final and is not subject to either explanation or appeal.

Almost all offices specialize in live. When choosing the best company, you should familiarize yourself with how the odds and line in real time differ from the prematch. Often bookmakers develop offers specifically for live.

There are offices that specialize exclusively in football, with little or no attention to other sports. They offer good odds and paintings, however it is very difficult to beat such an office.

Many major bookmakers also develop special offers and promotions for football fans, timed to coincide with various major competitions. Some of them, for example, BC Fonbet, act as the official sponsors of the national team and enjoy various benefits that are not available to competitors, set higher odds for the victory of the national team, and give away prizes.

Conclusion

Before making money on football betting, it is important to understand: this is exactly work.

Players who want to raise big money without difficulty will lose in most cases.

Players who collect information, analyze matches, develop and refine their own gaming system and do not seek to get a million for a couple of bets, as a result, receive a stable income.

The main thing - do not seek to recoup: One of the main problems for beginner players is erratic bets after several losses.
