Have you decided to get into sports betting, but don’t know how to win yet? So know, above all, that even if it is about bets, it is not always a question of luck. There are, in fact, methods and techniques to achieve real gains and minimize the risk of loss. Discover the essential points to know to put the odds on your side:
The first thing to know about sports betting is that it is not a game of chance. So don’t rely solely on your chances or your intuitions. Do not seek to win big in one go, because, on the contrary, you risk losing everything. Don’t bet on feeling either because the losses are real and the results don’t depend on your emotions. And in case of losses, do not try to recover. Instead, think about improving your strategies.
The best way to win at sports games is based on the odds. In short, the odds are the indicator of likely outcomes. The higher it is, the more unexpected the team’s victory, and the smaller it is, the more likely the team is to win. Thus, the lower odds remain the most interesting. However, be aware that this is also the multiplier number for your winnings. If you bet €10 with odds of 1.50, for example, you will win €15. In any case, always choose odds between 1.20 and 2.00 in order to increase your chances of winning. These odds give you between 50% and 83.33% chance of winning. Which is already huge!
Particularly for football matches, prefer double odds to single odds. During a match, you have, in fact, 3 possible results: either the victory of team 1, or the victory of team 2, or a draw. Thus, if you play a simple chance, you have 2 possibilities of loss against only 1 chance of gain.
By betting on a double chance, however, you have a 2 out of 3 chance of winning, or 66.66%. You will then only have to combine your bet with other single or combined bets in order to reach a total odds of 2.00 and thus increase your chances and your winnings at the same time.
As in all games, you will not win every time in sports betting. Another strategy to master is to cover your back. In the event of a loss, cover the lost sum by betting it on the next bet. By playing odds of 2.00, you already have a 50% chance of winning, and if you lose, double your next bet. The probability of losing 5 times in a row is only 3.1%, which gives you a 96.90% chance of winning. Also, you can perfectly cover your losses with your next bets.
And don’t forget that you also have to manage your capital intelligently. Only bet 50% of your profits. Also, bet no more than 5% of your bankroll. To protect yourself well and earn gradually, invest practically only 2% of your capital. The ideal is, moreover, to exploit the bonuses offered by the bookmakers to begin with.
Once you have mastered the strategies of sports betting, know how to choose your matches. Refer to the odds, but also to the statistics. Also keep up to date with movements within the teams. Any information may affect the results. Now, good bets!
