How to properly bet on sports over the Internet so that it starts to make a profit - let's bust the myths and reveal the secrets about what you need to know about sports betting.

Anyone can place a bet, but not everyone can make a profit. And this is largely due to the initially wrong approach.

What you need to know about sports betting

How bookmakers work

The first thing to understand is how bookmakers work.

The bookmaker is always in the black, no matter what the outcome

How do they do it? Let's look at an example

Let's say a football match is expected between the Spanish Barcelona and Yaroslavl Shinnik (and why not 🙂).

Only 3 outcomes of the meeting are possible:

1. Barcelona wins
2. Draw
3. Shinnik wins

For each event, bookmakers calculate the odds - that is, people working in such firms predict the outcome of the meeting and make an assumption about the probability of the outcome of each event.

Based on these assumptions, the initial coefficients are calculated using the formula

100 / percent probability

For example, we, as bookmaker analysts, believe that:

(we should scatter 100% over 3 events)

We collect money from the players. In total, they collected a total of 100 rubles (for reality, you yourself can assign a lot of zeros in your mind 🙂, and for simplicity we will take smaller numbers).

Of them:

But an attentive reader will notice that with such odds, the office will not earn anything, because with each outcome, the payout of the winnings will be the same 100 rubles - that is, all the money collected.

Therefore, bookmakers scatter not 100%, but 110%, for example, thereby lowering these odds, and at the output we already have something like this:

• Barcelona - coefficient 2.4 (instead of 2.5)
• Draw - odds 4 (instead of 5)
• Shinnik - coefficient 2.4 (instead of 2.5)

Calculate the profit for each outcome:

If you don't believe me, here is a screenshot with the odds of one of the bookmakers:

We consider the total probability of all events (in theory, this is 100%).

• 100 / 3,04 = 32,8947%
• 100 / 3,62 = 27,6243%
• 100 / 2,44 = 40,9836%

32,8947%+27,6243%+40,9836% = 101,5026%.

And if you redistribute the coefficients, taking into account that the maximum profit is on a more probable event, then the profit is even greater. Therefore, depending on what they bet on, the coefficients change in the process. The more you bet on a team to win, the lower the coefficient will be on it.

For example, here are the odds:

And here is the event after 7 hours:

This means that during these 7 hours there was more money for those who bet on a draw, and in order for the bookmaker not to be at a loss, he redistributed the odds.

It is important to know: there are fundamental and low-margin bookmakers

Low margin bookmakers

From the word "low margin", those who earn from the turnover of funds (essentially the method that we described above). They do not care how you bet and how much, because in the end they are still in the black. Professional players work with such offices. Their margin is usually around 2%.

Their cons: a narrow line - a small painting of rates.

pros: Higher reliability.

Fundamental bookmakers

If you search the Internet for what fundamental offices are, then everywhere they write about the same thing:

• A wide range of bets, including live
• Make money on players' losses
• They don't like professionals.
• Designed for amateurs
• Cutting highs for arbers and other guys

To be honest, I didn’t have an understanding of who these guys are and how they work, if you understand the principle of their earnings, please write in the comments.

How not to lose money on bets

Only after some time you realize that winning is not the main thing, the first thing you need to start with is to understand how not to lose and get at least zero when you start betting on sports.

According to unofficial statistics, 90% of players lose their money on bets and only 10% have a stable income, pocketing the money of these 90%.

If you have already prepared for clear and specific instructions for saving your money, then in vain - there is no magic pill. But there are basic rules that will reduce the risk to a minimum.

1. First of all, the player must be prepared for the fact that his finances are already lost. Therefore, determine for yourself right away - how much you are ready to drain before something starts to work out. If you set out to really make money in the game, you will have to make a lot of intellectual effort and give yourself to the matter with all seriousness. Yes, the key here is intellectual work.
2. Emotions are the main enemy. How many stories about how people drained their deposit by betting money on emotions - for example, I bet on the victory of team 1, it started to lose and biting your elbows you go and bet live on another team to somehow mitigate the loss, as a result, team 1 wins , but you're in the red, it's a shame. The most ridiculous bets are made against the background of emotions after an easy win or a hard loss.
3. Don't play all-in. Set yourself a maximum bet of 1-5% of the deposit and never break this rule.
4. Set yourself a limit on the number of bets per week. Why is it necessary? From experience, I can say that after a loss, I really want to win back immediately, and it is the observance of this limit that saves from stupid sudden decisions that lead to bankruptcy.
5. In the end, make yourself a list of rules that under no circumstances should be violated. Analyze and supplement it with each loss, do not be fooled by emotions, remind yourself that any broken rule is a path to bankruptcy.

How to start winning

So, how to start competently betting on sports - Your passion for some kind of sport, such as football or hockey, will be a big plus. It is the initial attraction that creates the prerequisites for the constant study of teams, transfers, permutations in the starting lineup and coaching changes in tactics. Such information is also available to bookmakers, but for them it is just a job. And for you it should be a passion!

1. Bet only on what you understand, choose a certain league for yourself and watch it as deeply as possible: study the standings, the physical form of the teams, who ate what for breakfast 🙂. Don't spray yourself - be a professional in a narrow niche.
2. Thinking without stereotypes, analysis of statistics. Blind faith in the victory of your favorite team will not help you make money

Apply all fundamental knowledge in combination with betting strategies. description and examples of work on strategies can be found on this site.

Betting strategies

Many players - both beginners and experienced ones - successfully use time-tested strategies:

1. Dogon. Bets are made on the same outcome (for example, a draw) until it comes.
   More details: .
2. Fork. Use the difference in the odds of several bookmakers.
   More:.
3. Corridor. They play on the handicap system.
   More:
4. Value betting. The player bets only on inflated odds from the bookmaker.
   More:
5. paddock. A bet on the total in live with a dry draw and a firm belief that there will be goals (usually used in football matches).

And this is just a short list of single betting strategies.

How to bet on sports online

I don't think it's necessary to go into detail here. (if necessary, write about it in the comments).

So the main points are:

1. Choose a bookmaker ();
2. Register;
3. And by choosing an event, we place a bet.

P.S. thanks cap 🙂

1 important point: when registering, indicate your real data

For what? One of the tricks that bookmakers resort to in case of your winnings is to refuse to withdraw money until you provide a copy of your passport. And if you signed up as Vasya Pyatochkin, then, accordingly, goodbye.

2 Important point: if the bookmaker's website does not open

This does not mean that the bookmaker no longer exists, most likely it was simply blocked by your provider, so you need to go through a proxy (if you want to paint in more detail how, write in the comments)

Hello dear readers. In this article, we will discuss sports betting that has become very popular in recent years in bookmakers and, most importantly, we will try to figure out whether it is possible to make money on sports betting and what is needed for this.

How to make money on sports betting and what a beginner can expect

For people who first encounter the world of sports betting, one of the first questions that arise is: “Is it really possible to make money on bets and how much can an ordinary person earn at the same time?”. Earnings on sports betting are comparable to the high-risk category, but the profit can be many times greater than, for example, from a regular bank deposit. Of course, there are risks, but this is an integral part of any financial transactions.

Based on this, the first and main rule for novice players is that it is allowed to play in a bookmaker's office only with money that you can afford to spend without risking your well-being. It is highly not recommended to play with funds borrowed or taken from the family budget.

The initial amount for the game (called the bankroll) should allow you to make at least 50, and preferably 100 bets of the same size.

What needs to be done to make the idea of ​​making money on betting bets a reality?

In the world of sports betting, there are people called professional handicappers (these are people who have earned on bets, for them betting is a job). They are engaged in sports analytics and are well versed in the mathematical side of sports betting. To become a professional, you need to have a mathematical mindset, understand the principles of bookmakers and master the basic canons of predicting sports events.

Thus, to start betting (from English - to bet, to place bets) you will need:

• Reliable Internet access;
• Daily free time (at least 2-3 hours);
• Concentration and a "cold" head;
• bankroll;
• Good knowledge in any sport.

Most often, beginners stop at the most common sports: football, basketball or hockey. From the point of view of professional players, tennis is the most profitable in betting. If this sport does not appeal to you, then start with football - the most popular sport in the world, with the possible exception of the United States.

A novice player with minimal investment is able to earn, by betting, about 10% of the bankroll within a month. Undoubtedly, it is quite possible to earn 70% or more, subject to the use of high-risk strategies. But then the threat of losing the entire deposit increases significantly.

In general, 10% of the bankroll is a great indicator, but in order to achieve stability, you need to follow certain rules and approach the process of predicting sports events very reasonably and realistically.

Bookmakers regularly offer thousands of different bets on hundreds of sporting events. Of all these offers, the player can choose any of them. So what do those numbers mean - the odds offered by the bookmaker?

A decent bookmaker offers several types of odds display. Consider an example where the probability of an event is 35%. What is the methodology for calculating coefficients for different systems?

Decimal odds (for example, 1.2; 3.0, etc.). For clarity, consider the case - a match between two equivalent football teams, the probability of victory for each of them is 35%, the probability of a draw is 30% (35+35+30=100). Decimal odds are defined as 100 divided by the percent probability of the event. Then the coefficient for the victory of each of the teams will be 2.9, and for a draw - 3.3. Here, for simplicity of calculations, the bookmaker's margin is not included (more on that later). Let's say a player bet 100 rubles. to win one of the teams. If the event plays, then the player will receive 100 × 2.9 = 290 rubles. or clean 290-100 = 190 rubles.

English odds (for example, 4/1; 10/11, etc.). Let's calculate the probability of the same event (35%) for such coefficients. Here the calculation is cut by 10, we get - 3.5 + 3.5 + 3 = 10. Then subtract 3.5 from 10 (the probability of the event) and get the numerator for the fraction, equal to 6.5. We put 3.5 in the denominator. As a result, we get 6.5 / 3.5 or 1.9. Putting on English odds 100 rubles. we get clean 190 rubles.

American odds (for example, +375; -160, etc.). Here the calculation boils down to the phrase "earn 100 rubles." In particular, the coefficient -150 means that for a net gain of 100 rubles. You need to place a bet of 150 rubles. This is a negative factor. It also happens to be positive - how much you get if you bet 100 rubles. When the office sets a coefficient of +150, this implies that for a bet of 100 rubles. the better will be able to receive 150 rubles.

In essence, bookmakers are intermediaries who charge a certain percentage for the provision of services. This percentage is called the margin. Because of the margin, the odds for equally likely events will not be 2 to 2, but in the best case 1.95 to 1.95 (in low-margin offices). In ordinary offices, the corresponding coefficients will vary within 1.8 - 1.9. The question arose, where did the unreceived arrive? Left the bookmaker for mediation.

In addition, bookmakers gain profit by adjusting the odds depending on public opinion and financial flows. Simply put, the bookmaker understands what the majority of players will bet on and lowers the odds for such events.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that the income in the bookmaker's office is determined solely by the odds set by the bookmaker.

Instructions for making money on sports betting - the first steps of a beginner

For beginners, it will be very useful to familiarize yourself with the instructions below in order to avoid unnecessary problems:

• First of all, you need to carefully read the rules of the bookmaker and learn the main terms;
• Next, you need to register in the selected office. If there is no electronic wallet, then get one - Skrill, Neteller, WebMoney or others;
• Replenish the deposit (place a certain amount on your account in the office);
• Select an event and place a bet.

Online sports betting and their specifics

Currently, most players are trying to make money on bets on the Internet. First of all, this is due to the fact that it is very convenient - you can install it without leaving your home.

On the one hand, the ease of finding statistical and analytical information on the Internet gives bettors some advantage, but on the other hand, almost everything that needs to be taken into account is taken into account by bookmakers and included in the odds.

The superiority of the bookmaker in relation to the average player is not in doubt, because highly qualified specialists with the appropriate software work in the offices. In addition, the office will receive a profit regardless of the result of the competition, this is facilitated by the very principle of accepting bets.

Therefore, all a player can do is think, analyze and bet according to their own tactics and strategy. To help yourself, you can attract special programs that can:

• Calculate the amount of the bet;
• Find the best odds from all offered by the offices;
• Keep track of your rates.

It is also necessary not only to be able to find the necessary information on the Internet, but also to be able to use it effectively.

Sports betting bookmakers - how to choose

Below are tips on how to choose a bookmaker, so that later you will not be disappointed in your choice:

1. Reliability. Here, first of all, it means the paying capacity of the office. You can find out by reading reviews about a particular office on forums, specialized sites, etc. Without confidence in getting a win, it makes no sense to bet;
2. Ways to deposit and withdraw funds. You need to find out if the office supports payment systems that are suitable for you;
3. Rules and regulations of the office. Before placing bets, please read all the rules carefully. Often, beginners lose their deposit due to banal ignorance of the rules;
4. Coefficients. You need to play in an office with more or less high odds, as this greatly affects the size of the winnings and even whether you will be a plus or minus bettor;
5. The amount of the minimum deposit. There are many offices that have a large minimum for depositing or withdrawing funds. These indicators must be compared with their financial capabilities;
6. Line width of proposed events. Decide whether the proposed list of competitions and the painting for them is sufficient for you.

Analyze the bookmaker you have looked at according to the above parameters. If the office corresponds to them, you can safely register.

Popular payment systems

Here we give a brief description of the most common payment systems that bookmakers work with.

WebMoney - the most popular payment system among players from the CIS. The temptation of WebMoney is in several ways of depositing and withdrawing money, as well as in the ease of registration. The minus of the system is the commission of 0.8% for the transfer of funds and the fact that not all Western bookmakers work with it.

Yandex money - Another domestic payment system. Accepted by all bookmakers in the post-Soviet space. There is a 3% fee for withdrawing funds. Of the serious Western bookmakers, few work with Yandex.Money, for example, William Hill.

Skrill is the most popular payment system in the world. Its recognition, both among bookmakers and among players, is justified by the absence of various kinds of commissions. The Skrill system offers its users a number of prizes and bonuses, as well as a loyalty program. The disadvantage of the system is the complicated registration and the requirement to check documents. However, this disadvantage is completely covered by all the advantages of the payment system. With a Skrill wallet, you can deposit and withdraw funds at any bookmaker in the world.

In addition, you can still distinguish such payment systems as Neteller and Qiwi, but they are inferior in popularity to the systems described above.

Basic rules and possible mistakes of beginners - how to avoid them

A list of simple game rules that can save you from many mistakes:

• Bet only on those sports that you know well;
• Play in offices only with high odds;
• Make a preliminary analysis of the sporting event on which you are going to bet;
• Play according to your own strategy. Do not make rash bets;
• Do not bet more than 1-2% of the bankroll;
• It is not recommended to bet on sports in live, long accumulators (over four events), bets like “I will watch the match”.

Types of sports betting

What are singles and the principle of multiple bets

In all bookmakers, two types of sports betting are now popular: single and express.

Ordinaries are the simplest type of bet, they are also called single bets. It does not matter what you bet on (win, draw or number of goals), if the bet is made on only one event, it is a single. The payout for such a bet is calculated very easily by multiplying the size of the bet and the odds.

Express. Many beginners ask themselves the question - how to make an express bet? An accumulator is a bet consisting of several ordinars (at least two), i.e., in order to bet an accumulator, you must immediately select several events from the list of the bookmaker's office. To determine the winnings at such a bet, it is necessary to multiply the coefficients of all events included in the accumulator, and then multiply the resulting total coefficient by the size of the bet.

To win on an accumulator, it is required that all events included in it win. In case of losing at least one event from the accumulator, he is considered the loser.

What are totals and odds

Totals. A very common type of sports betting among bettors. Here you need to give a forecast for the total number of goals (points, corners, etc.) in the match. Under is total under and over is total over. The Over 1.5 bet assumes that both teams will score at least two goals in total in the match. If there are two or more goals in the match, then the bet has played, otherwise it is a loss. There are also totals with an integer number of goals, for example, over 2. With such a bet, if two goals are scored in total, then the bet is returned. Three goals or more are required to win.

handicap provides for a "virtual" addition of goals scored by one of the teams. Let's take football betting as an example. Suppose the pre-match analysis showed that the away team should not lose, then we put a +1 or F2 (+1) handicap on the success of the guests. In this case, we add one goal to the guests to the final result of the match. For example, if the game ended 1:1, then with such a handicap, the guests won 1:2, which means that the bet played. If the guests lost 1:0, this means the return of the bet, and the defeat is 2:0 or more - the bet lost.

It is easy to guess that with non-integer odds (-2.5, +0.5, etc.) return is impossible.

Earnings on football betting is the most common due to the popularity of football itself. Professional handicappers never place bets based on their intuition or their own guesses. This is what fans do, believing that their favorite club will win. Such an approach to betting enriches only bookmakers, since it is impossible to foresee an accidental goal, injury, etc.

That is why you need to adhere to the following rules when betting on football:

• Never bet on the team you support. You cannot be objective when making such a bet;
• Bet only on leagues that you know well;
• Do not bet on top matches, bookmakers calculate odds very accurately on them;
• Restrain your emotions so as not to make a mistake;
• Do not be distracted by the match itself, watch the odds (they change).

Before playing for real money, it will not be superfluous to practice on paper or for virtual money in a bookmaker's office, i.e. try free betting on football.

In order to count on winning from a bookmaker, you must adhere to a certain sports betting strategy. All strategies are usually divided into gaming and financial. Let's consider them in more detail.

Game strategies

There are a lot of sports betting strategies on the Internet. Consider the most popular of them.

A bet on an event underestimated by the bookmaker or Value Betting. As a rule, players try to predict the outcome of an event without thinking about the profitability of their game over a long period of time.

But there is another category of bettors who focus primarily on the value of odds and profit in the long run. Players in this category make bets that are extremely profitable in the long run. If you bet only on inflated odds, then the profit in the future is guaranteed.

This approach is called Value Betting or betting on events underestimated by the bookmaker.

Surebets - these are several bets on a certain event in various bookmakers, in which a win is guaranteed regardless of the outcome of the selected event. This situation is possible due to different estimates of the probability of the same event by different bookmakers.

The unpleasant thing here is the fact that bookmakers, as a rule, do not like arbers and try to get rid of them in every possible way: they cut bet maximums, block accounts, etc.

Dogon called a sports betting strategy, where the value of each next bet is determined depending on the result of the previous one. The main goal is the return of previously lost money and the acquisition of some profit.

For example, you "catch up" with a draw in football and constantly bet on it until it happens. At the same time, each time you increase the bet in such a way as to return the previous losses and make a profit. This event will definitely happen, but it is quite possible that by then you simply do not have enough money to bet. Thus, catch-up is not such a win-win strategy as it might initially seem.

corridors. The strategy is similar to surebets. In this case, different bookmakers are looking for a “corridor” in totals or odds. In case of luck (the result of the match fits into the selected “corridor”), both bets play and a decent win is obtained. Otherwise, it is an expense and the player loses nothing.

The consequences of such a game are similar to the game on surebets.

Sports Betting Financial Strategies

There are also many financial strategies for sports betting, here we will consider the most common of them:

Flat - the simplest and at the same time the safest financial strategy, according to which all bets must be the same size. The essence of the strategy is that if a player decides to bet on 3 (5, 10, ...) units, then the accepted bet size does not change for a long period. An increase or decrease in the bankroll is not a reason to change the size of the bet.

Fixed income – a more progressive strategy compared to flat. Here the rate "B" is directly proportional to the expected return "W" and inversely proportional to the value of the coefficient "K" of the event in question. The size of the bet is determined by the formula B = W / (K - 1).

The strategy provides for an artificial assignment of the amount of profit (fixed profit). A safe profit margin is considered to be within 1/20 - 1/30 of the bankroll, and the recommended odds are from 1.3 to 5.

Martingale strategy - a strategy that came to betting from the casino. The essence of the strategy is that the player sets the size of the first bet and, in case of a loss, doubles the size of each subsequent bet until he wins. After winning, a new series begins with the initial bet. In this case, the odds for events must be at least 2.

Kelly criterion. The strategy is to calculate the acceptable bet size for the selected event.

The optimal rate is calculated according to the following formula: C = (K x V - 1) / (K - 1), where K is the coefficient, V is the probability of the event, C is the amount of the bet.

Other ways to make money at a bookmaker

The following describes how you can make money on bets at bookmakers in other ways - they cannot be classified as strategies.

Aftergoals. A bet is placed on an event that has already happened, for example, a goal is scored (such bets include a live game). To do this, you either need to be in the stadium or have access to a faster broadcast compared to the bookmaker. Those. saw a goal scored - quickly make the appropriate bet until the bookmaker closes the betting market. The disadvantage of such a game is that the bookmaker, having calculated you, can accuse you of fraud and block your account.

Bookmakers' mistakes. Sometimes bookmakers have erroneous odds (more often in live). These may be technical or analytical errors. Many players place bets on them and often receive winnings. Nevertheless, it is not worth abusing such rates, because. the bookmaker can easily close the account.

Bonus hunting. There are people who earn with bookmaker bonuses. As a rule, to withdraw the bonus, the latter must be wagered by wagering it a certain number of times. For this purpose, opposite bets are made in various offices with bonuses. At the same time, losing 20-50% of the bonus, you can make a profit. But for constant earnings, you have to open all new accounts (bonuses are mainly offered to new players), and this threatens to block accounts.

Advertising and partnership. Reliable method of earning on bets. Many bookmakers provide an opportunity or by advertising their office. The partnership is to attract newcomers. For a good income in this way is necessary.

Offline sports betting

Recently, more and more players are switching to playing in bookmakers via the Internet, and this trend is growing. But there is a category of players who crave the spirit of excitement that exists only in offline offices. What should not be forgotten by those who play offline in offices:

• Make your own decisions, don't be influenced by local "professional" regulars;
• Lack of information. At home, through the Internet, you can find all the necessary information. In a land-based office, you will not have such an opportunity;
• The probability of delaying the payment of a large win. At the box office, there simply may not be enough money to pay out a large win;
• If you turn out to be a successful bettor, then you may be added to the list of unwanted customers and stop accepting your bets.

Based on the above, decide for yourself whether it is worth playing in a land-based office.

Agreements

On the Internet at every step you can find offers to buy information on the so-called "agreements". Remember, this is all a scam and nothing more. Let's think about it logically:

1. Even if match-fixing exists in team sports, it is only in third-rate leagues. On them, the maximum bets are extremely low and therefore economically unprofitable - the profit will be small, and in general, all participants in a fixed match will have to pay quite a lot;
2. In singles competitions, the possibility of such matches is greater. But is the risk of an athlete to ruin his sports career worth the money? And most importantly, in case of suspicion, the bookmaker can simply return bets and not pay out the winnings;
3. If you were the organizer of a fixed match, would you spread it on the Internet? I don't think so.

conclusions

In general, it is possible to make money on sports betting, but for this you need to approach bets professionally:

• Choose a specific sport and study it thoroughly;
• Conduct a deep analysis of the selected event;
• Apply the optimal sports betting strategy;
• Carry out a thorough work on yourself psychologically;
• It is preferable to bet with bookmakers on the Internet.

It seems quite simple for an experienced player to make a bet at bookmakers: come to the booth, ask the cashier for a line, choose a bet (if bets are made through online offices, then the algorithm is about the same, only everything is on a computer and you don’t need to ask for a line, it’s enough click on it on the site) that you like - and go ahead, to the embrasures, in the hope of winning something! Everything looks so elementary that it is not even worth explaining. But believe me, it's not. My playing experience is 9 years. And I'm still learning and learning, there are so many nuances in sports betting. I will try to explain the initial steps as clearly as possible so that you can become a successful bettor in bookmakers.

How to bet on sports?

So, let's start. First of all, I have to explain the theory of rates to you, so most of the article will be devoted to it. Get ready, now I will be the main betting terms and their decoding with examples and remarks.

The highest football odds + fast payouts + 4,000 rubles bonus! Reliable BC. Register!

General terms

Line- a list of events and their outcomes with odds offered by the bookmaker for bets.
Bid- the money that the player puts on the game and loses when he loses, as well as the totality of the choices that the player combined by betting a certain amount on them.
Exodus- the result of a sporting event, to which the bookmaker has assigned a winning coefficient. I think these terms are clear, and there is no need to explain anything.

Types of bets

Single - a bet on 1 outcome of an event. The win on a single bet is equal to the product of the bet amount and the odds.

Example 1: single bet

Team 1	Team 2	Win 1	Draw X	Victory 2
Spartacus	Dynamo	2.0	3.2	4.3

Let's say you made a bet of 100 rubles on the victory of Spartak. The coefficient of winning on bets on the victory of Spartak is 2.0. The payout when Spartak wins will be 100 x 2.0 = 200. Net winnings: 200 (payout) - 100 (bet) = 100 rubles.

Express- a bet on several events. To win on an accumulator, all events in the accumulator must not lose (that is, either a win or a return). If at least one event loses, then this entails the loss of the entire bet. The accumulator win is equal to the product of the bet amount and the odds of all outcomes included in the accumulator bet.

Example 2: express

Let's say you made a bet of 100 rubles on an accumulator consisting of three outcomes: Spartak's victory, Shakhtar's victory, Arsenal's victory. The coefficients of winnings for the outcomes included in the accumulator are multiplied: 2.0 x 1.8 x 3.3=11.88. The payout, if all selected outcomes are successful, will be: 100 x 11.88=1188 rubles, including net winnings (minus the bet amount): 1088 rubles.

System- a set of accumulator bets, which is a complete enumeration of bet options of the same size from a fixed set of outcomes. The bet amount for each accumulator bet (system variant) is the same and the number of outcomes in each express bet is the same. The winnings for the system are equal to the sum of winnings for express bets included in the system.

Example 3: system

Consider the matches from the previous example. If we take the same outcomes, but put them in a system, then we will get a system of 3 by 2 (it cannot be from 3 by 1, because the bet on 1 event is a single, not an express bet). Thus, we will have 3 accumulators with 2 positions in each. Do not forget that the amount of the bet is evenly distributed on all accumulators, that is, with a bet of 100 rubles, we will have 3 accumulators, for each of which 33.33 rubles are bet. I think that you have already caught the difference between express and system. It is enough to play 2 events, and we will already get some kind of winnings (it would be impossible in the accumulator). But if all the events of the system win, then we will get less than we would put them in the accumulator.

If we go to specific numbers, then in case of winning on all 3 positions at a bet of 100 rubles per system, we will get: (2.0 * 1.8 + 2.0 * 3.3 + 1.8 * 3.3) * 33 ,33 = 537.95 rubles. I think you perfectly see and understand what all these numbers mean in this equation. The gain in the case of the passage of 2 events of the system is also clearly visible.

I hope that everything is clear here too and you already know a little how to bet at bookmakers. At first, I recommend playing singles and small express trains, with experience, decide for yourself how it is more profitable for you to bet!

The main selections of outcomes for bets and their designation in the line of bookmakers

• 1 - victory of the first team.
• X- this symbol at the bookmakers denotes a draw.
• 2 - victory of the second team.
• 1X- victory of the first team or a draw. To win on such
  The bet needs to be for Team 1 to win or for a draw to occur.
• 12 - the victory of the first team or the victory of the second team. To this
  the bet has played, there should not be a draw in the match.
• x2– see 1X, applies to the 2nd team.

I think that it is obvious and clear here how to bet on sports. Moreover, these elections are the main ones and are exhibited in all sports (it can be called differently, for example, in auto racing they ask “Who is higher”, but the essence does not change).

Now let's move on to betting on outcomes that are very relevant and popular in all sports. By betting on these selections, you get the opportunity to diversify the range of events for the game and vary your tactics in betting, but of course, you will do all this after you learn how to bet in bookmakers.

The victory of the participant of the competition, taking into account the handicap. In the line it looks like this: "Handicap 1 => odds 1".
With this term it is better to immediately give an example. So, you open the line and see the match Spartak - Amkar. The handicap for this match will be set as follows: handicap 1 (-1.5) 1.8 and handicap 2 (+1.5) 1.9. What do these odds mean? Handicap 1 will only apply to the goals of the 1st team (respectively, Spartak), and handicap 2 applies only to the goals of Amkar. Let's understand now what it means. If you take Amkar's handicap +1.5, then you bet that this team will lose a maximum of 1 goal, draw or win. To the final result of Amkar's goals, you add the handicap value. Let's say the match score is 2:1. By adding the handicap, we get 2:2.5, that is, the victory of Amkar. I think you understand what I mean. If you bet on the negative handicap of Spartak, you would be satisfied with the score 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, etc., the difference is at least 2 goals.
If there is a “half” in the handicap, then this means that there is no way to get a return on the bet, fans of caution may not be upset, you can buy a handicap for all sports (in some cases even sell), which leads to a decrease in the odds, but it increases confidence in pass bet.

By the way, almost all those who like to bet in bookmakers use the opportunity to buy a head start, because in sports such as basketball and volleyball, this “half” can decide a lot. But there are cases and vice versa, when playing with a handicap leads to an increase in the coefficient.

Let's take the same match between Spartak and Amkar. Most players will agree that Spartak's victory looks like the best bet for this match. Only here the coefficient for this outcome is very small, in the region of 1.3-1.35. This is where the handicap comes in handy. After all, if you bet with a handicap (-1.5) on Spartak, then the coefficient increases to 1.8. You can also play it safe by taking a handicap (-1), even a victory of 1 ball will lead to a return. I hope you understand what a handicap is and how to use it.

Over, under, exactly (bets on total)

Total in football- the number of goals in a match, the total in hockey - the number of goals scored, the total in tennis - the number of games played, etc. I think you understand what total is. Let's move on to an example, so that you can better understand what kind of beast this is, the bookmaker's total.

Example: betting on total

Let's say that the office has set the total of a football match (the amount of goals scored) equal to "3", and it is proposed to place bets on the total on two outcomes: over or under this total.

• if less than 3 goals are scored in the match (0:0, 1:1, etc.), bets on less than "3" win, on more they lose;
• if more than 3 goals are scored in the match (3:1, 2:2, etc.), bets on less than "3" lose, on more than "3" win;
• if exactly 3 goals are scored in the match (2:1, 3:0, etc.), all bets on over "3" and on under "3" will be assigned odds of "1".

Now a few words about what to do with this very total and how to bet on it in bookmakers. Let's say two equal teams play, which preach a closed style of play. If they are equal, then betting on someone else's victory is risky. Since they both prefer to defend, the match promises to be of little result. This is where we use , having played in this match a bet under 2.5. With experience, you will learn how to use bets on total and handicap to the fullest.

This is all the main types of outcomes for bets. Everything else can be called differently, but the principle is based precisely on these concepts. Hope you got it all. Now I want to give you a couple of tips from personal experience on how to bet at bookmakers.

First, never hesitate to ask how to bet on sports if you don't understand something. You came to the “booth” (the slang name for the cash desks of bookmakers) or play via the Internet, first clarify and explain all the points for yourself, and only then bet. In the "booth" you can ask the cashier or one of the players, and when playing through the World Wide Web, be sure to look at the rules of the office, otherwise they may differ for different bookmakers. And it's significant.

Be sure to play in small amounts at first, because you may not fully understand something, confuse it, etc. Do not chase the odds, you need to have a big “fart-ass” (as lucky privateers are called) in order to fire (that is, play) a “footcloth” (express train with a large number of events) with a good odds.

Try to "monitor" (follow) the line, a sharp collapse or rise in coefficients is usually not accidental. Use your head and your knowledge, because you risk your money when you place bets at bookmakers. In order for your head to work better, read more literature on how to bet at bookmakers and the latest news about what is happening in the world of sports.

And finally, the advice that was once given to me when I did not yet know how to bet on sports and only tried to bet (the instruction was given by a person who ate a dog at betting in bookmakers). I was advised to do the following: take a certain amount that was not a pity to lose (for me it was 500 rubles) and put it aside. Within a month, take no more than 10 percent of what you have set aside (that is, the winnings add up there) and put an ordinary or express train of 2-3 events for this amount (such express trains are called a double and a triple, respectively). Now, if after a month the initial amount was at least doubled, then you can continue to bet, there is some kind of talent. If the gain was, but not double, then you can go to the bookmaker's office to place a bet, but on holidays. And if you are a loser, then betting is not for you or you need to continue learning how to bet in bookmakers! You decide! Good luck!

Sports betting as a way to make money. Instructions, strategies, schemes

Greetings dear readers, let's talk about the currently relevant form of earnings, namely, betting on sporting events.

I will explain everything from the basics so that it is extremely clear to beginners. Find out what really works: schemes, strategies, where to start. After receiving the first income, you will want to do it further in order to get a stable profit on bets.

Earn on bookmaker bets quite realistic even without large investments. As in any (especially at the very beginning) three things are important - patience, desire, free time. The main thing is to get involved in the process, understand the principle of action and not be afraid of your inexperience in this matter. Well, let's find out how to profit from betting, whether you've tried it before or not.

What income can a beginner rely on when betting

Often, beginners ask how much they can earn by betting, and how much more experienced players profit from this. They care about risk, and it is always there when working with investments. In this regard, we do not take the last money for bets, that is, those that are at your disposal for personal expenses that are not related to mandatory payments. This is necessary so that you do not risk the money that you still have to live on until the end of the month. In no case do not borrow money or from the general budget of the family.

Sports betting are highly risky investments. And yet, these types of bets can bring big profits. This does not apply to single bets. If we follow the strategy, then the funds should be enough for at least 50 bets of the same amount, it is required to calculate the initial size of the game bank. You can make this type of income not permanent, but periodic, so as not to get into the same debts and live up to the salary. We have collected some free money and are working on a strategy.

The road to becoming a professional is long and difficult. Professional handicappers analyze, calculate algorithms and patterns. It is their job to feed and clothe. They know the rules of sports forecasting, they understand how the bookmaker works.

What you need to earn on bets:

• Bankroll (initial capital);
• Internet access;
• Observation, attentiveness, ability to cope with emotions;
• Several hours of free time every day;
• Interest in sports and a certain kind.

Professionals advise betting on tennis, as it is the most profitable for predicting. However, if you are not interested in it, then, like most beginners, you can choose basketball, football or hockey - the most popular sports. Almost every person sympathizes with one of these three species.

10% of the bank can really earn a beginner per month and this is with a minimum deposit. Of course, you can earn 50% if you use risky strategies. I do not advise, because it is more likely to drain your entire bank. Agree that 10% is a good figure. To get a stable profit, you need to be rational, not succumb to emotions, reason soberly and follow the rules.

The work of bookmakers

As practice shows, rates made by people of all ages. Usually these are fans, fans and just sports lovers. From their interest, they benefit, financial gain. Every day, bookmakers offer a huge number of options, from which we choose what we need. Most often, bets are made by amateurs, for the sake of interest, in order to try their luck, without relying on logical conclusions and statistics. The player chooses any bet - this is his advantage. Even amateurs try to choose the option that is most likely to bring money. Such people take risks, which brings pleasure from impatience to know the result and adrenaline in the blood. Those who win are as happy as children who were given money for ice cream. This can be understood, because they are just amateurs and bet only out of interest in the hope of winning.

It is curious that bookmakers know what the average player will bet on. These firms are intermediaries. And that means they get a certain percentage for their services. Therefore, our rates are not 50/50, but 47/47, for example. The remaining 6% goes to bookmakers. But that's not all. Bookmakers also profit from the fact that they adjust (lower) the probability coefficient of the outcome of events (on which the player will bet), based on financial flows and public opinion.

Step by step instructions for beginners

If you haven't tried yet betting or if you want to learn something for yourself, then read the step-by-step instructions:

1. Familiarize yourself with the terminology of bookmakers, remember the basic terms. Read the rules (believe me, it will never be superfluous, but will only help in non-standard situations).
2. We start an electronic wallet, choose the most convenient for you. If it is already there, then register with the bookmaker.
3. We deposit some amount (deposit) into our account at the bookmaker's office.
4. Choose an event to your liking and place a bet.
5. It is recommended that you keep all your coupons won or not. This is necessary so that in the future, if a dispute arises, you can provide at least some evidence.

Do not keep large amounts in your account, withdraw profits, try to keep your composure in impulses to bet a large amount on some event. You only need to make a couple of clicks, which you may regret later. Always evaluate the risk, do not rush to bet all-in. We want to earn money, not become addicted (ludomania).

Betting strategies

Let's start with the fact that any strategy does not give a 100% chance of winning (otherwise the offices would have gone bankrupt long ago). Since there are many strategies, we will consider the most popular ones so that the beginner does not panic because of the upcoming choice from their huge number. It is worth trying several to compare which one brings more profit and is more reliable.

The most famous betting strategies:

1. Bet on underestimated events (Value Betting)
2. Dogon;
3. Betting surebets (arbitrage rates);
4. Playing in live mode;
5. Classic pre-match analysis.

Amateurs bet on their own forecast, they are interested in the result, as accurately as they could guess. Such people do not think about the long term to make a profit.

Those who think, bet on the inflated odds of the bookmaker and expect their profit. After a while it works. This is our first strategy - Value Betting, that is, bets on results underestimated by the office. Let's give an example, there is a match between a well-known football team and a simpler one. Avid fans, fans will bet on their favorite club whether they win or lose. Thus, they seem to support their team (it seems so to them), but in reality everyone is mistaken, even world leaders. So, if you bet against, then there is a chance to hit a good jackpot. After all, who will bet against the clear winner? Leaders win - you lose a little, lose - you earn good money.

Theories numbered 2 and 3 (catching up and forks) are win-win, but only in theory, do not flatter yourself. Two conditions for winning on such bets:

1. Have an infinite game bank;
2. Permission from the bookmaker to bet any amount.

The chasing strategy means that we bet on some result, the bet fails, then we bet on the same result, increasing the amount. Thus, in case of winning, we return our money with interest. This is dangerous because at the most inopportune moment the funds on the account may run out, and the bet will not be placed. This kind of persistence can lead to collapse.

The game on the "forks" is no longer as relevant as it used to be. Bookmakers make approximately the same odds, so it becomes unprofitable, and even dangerous, to play on the difference in odds with different bookmakers. They do not like such players and can simply block accounts, cancel bets.

Live bet ̶ bet during the match, in real time. A risky type of betting, you can make a rash act (and there is little time to think). Also, the margin of these bets is high. Professional bettors do not favor this strategy.

And we only have pre-match analyzes. It's simple: the composition of the team, their past games and style of play are evaluated, we pay attention to the referee. After weighing all this, we place a bet.

Since we have dealt with betting strategies, let's deal with financial strategies:

1. Fixed income;
2. Martingale strategy;
3. Kelly criterion;
4. Flat.

You can read more about these strategies in other sources. I can only say that flat is more suitable for beginners - a game for a long time with a fixed amount (1-2% of the bank).

How the bookmaker calculates the odds

How often do you hear the formula: six out of ten? Nine out of ten? Saying this, you do not think that in this way you conclude a (albeit mental) bet on the probability of some event. Six out of ten that will be exactly the case.

Bookmaker also includes the same rates, but denotes them not in "six out of ten", but in percentages, fractions or other ratios. The fact that bets are in most cases on sporting events is understandable.

A good office will offer you the probability of an event in several display options - odds.

For example: let's take the probability of winning this team 40%. How is it calculated in different coefficient systems?

Decimal Odds

The most understandable for us is the decimal ratio. How is the decimal coefficient calculated? Two equally strong football teams have a 40% chance of winning and a 20% chance of a draw (40+40+20 = 100). The decimal factor of this calculation will be 2.5. In the tables of the bookmaker will be the number 2.5.

The total calculation looks like 100 divided by the winning percentage.

The odds for any other event will be calculated in the same way. We divide 100% by the percentage of the event - we get a decimal coefficient. For ease of calculation, the percentage of the bookmaker is not included in this case.

What is it for? Let's say you bet $10 on a team to win. If the team won, you will receive 10×2.5 = $25. Net profit - $15. If the team lost, we lose $10.

This (decimal) calculation is called European, or Russian.

English odds

All bookmakers operate with such fractions, but the UK and some other countries calculate without rounding to decimal values.

Let's calculate the same probability (40%) in English.

Firstly, the calculation is immediately reduced by 10. We get 4 + 4 + 2. Further, we subtract 4 from 10 (this is the probability of victory), we get 6, this is the numerator of the fraction. We substitute 4 into the denominator. In total we get 6/4=3/2 or 1.5.

In the English calculation, betting 10, we get $15, net $5.

American odds

In North America, fractions are not dealt with. Their calculation can be called - "earn $ 100." If an American bookmaker has set odds of 140, this means that for a net profit of $100, we need to bet 140. This is a negative option. Sometimes there is a reverse option: how much we earn if we bet 100. If the bookmaker writes the odds + 140, this means that by betting 100, we will get 140 if we win.

In principle, reverse settlement is also possible, but it is not significant either for the bookmaker's office or for the end user. Note also that for ease of calculation, pure fractions are taken - without bookmaker's markups. But everyone sets their own prices. It is not realistic to tell everything in a short article.

Bookmaker. Mistakes in the line made on purpose

Some bookmakers practice building lines deliberately with errors. This is done in order to reduce risks and increase their own income. It looks like this. If it is known that most people will bet on the victory of a famous tennis player, the office puts a low odd on him. Then, if he wins, her losses will be minimal. And on his opponent, the coefficient increases. A distortion is created, which was made deliberately. It follows from this that, having seen the bookmaker's mistake and making the right bet, it is quite possible to win against the office.

The bookmaker must issue quotes for all upcoming competitions. The player always has a choice. The bookmaker cannot always make a correct analysis of all matches in a line. In some cases, he needs to give a quote even if he does not have his own opinion. The player, having found information that can significantly change the result of the competition, can use it and make the necessary bet. To conduct a successful game, two or three discrepancies per day may be enough.

Starting the game, you need to decide for yourself what you expect from the bet made. It can be a rush of excitement or a calculation in order to earn money. In England, there is a tradition when fans sitting in a pub start betting on their favorite team. They do not take into account who is her rival. They make their bets for fun and can safely lose a significant amount. Thanks to such people, bookmakers all over the world flourish.

So you can make several bets just out of interest. If your forecast does not come true, then the lost money can be considered as a kind of payment for pleasure and excitement. But if there is a desire to make a profit from your money, then it is worth remembering that such investments are to a large extent subject to constant risk. There is a well-known pattern that says that projects with large profits are subject to a high degree of risk. A player who has learned all the wisdom of such investments can make a profit two or even three times higher than the initial investment in a year. For comparison, we can bring the profits of players in the FOREX currency market, which are 100-150%.

Agreements

Recently, many offers have appeared on the Internet promising a stable online business - unique and highly paid. A huge number of these offers relate to sports betting. More precisely, bets on "agreements" in sports matches. All sorts of "informants" guarantee you big wins - however, subject to payment for their modest services.

Predictions for the outcome of sports games received a new name betting. It is defined as an investment tool and even compared to playing on the stock exchange. In a word, Russian “agreements” have become a way of earning money for both scammers and ordinary people.

Sports "agreements" and "insider" information help knowledgeable people to have a stable income, which they have from bets in bookmakers' offices. At the same time, one should not confuse sports predictions and match-fixing, because in the latter everything is already known in advance.

If you type the word "agreement" in any search engine, it will give you several hundred thousand pages. Most often, everything that is offered on the network is a simple scam. Or forecasts, using which you can win big money, and lose even more.

The advice in this case can be this: bet only on those games, the outcome of which can be guessed, based on the preparation of the team for the championship and the analysis of previous games. Information about "agreements" is often unverified and false.

Do not make too large bets if you are absolutely not sure of the result and do not agree with the forecast for "fixing" in the championship, which you got one way or another. Know that all sports predictions are made by ordinary people who can make mistakes. The only way to hit a good jackpot is to find a person close to people from big sport.

Internet bets and their features

The bookmaker makes a profit regardless of the outcome of the event. Bookmakers have expensive equipment and excellent analysts. The player also takes into account the coefficients that the offices put on the outcome of the event, laying in them both statistics and analytics. We just have to stick to our strategy.

There is special software that significantly helps in working with rates. It can be downloaded or purchased. Such programs can calculate bet amounts, keep statistics of your bets, and help you find the best offers among bookmakers in terms of odds. There is a lot of information on the Internet about rates, strategies and so on. Study blogs, websites, forums, but do not forget that people write them, and people tend to make mistakes. Therefore, third-party opinions of individuals should not be taken at face value.

Rules for beginners, betting rules

If you wish to receive permanent income from bets, and not once a month to bet and rely on your intuition, then develop your analytical skills, communicate with professionals in this field and listen to their advice.

Each player has some rules, but there are those that almost everyone follows:

• Bookmaker choice. Look for proven and reliable gambling sites, register in several offices that do not block successful players and do not limit bets;
• Learn how to properly manage your money.
• Self-control and patience should be your main allies. Don't be angry if the winning streak is interrupted, it's obvious. The series of losses will also someday be interrupted, you should not be too happy with the win and make rash bets. Be calm and reasonable.

When reading forums and life examples of players, you should not believe everything, but also not trust absolutely everyone either. Try different strategies, maybe people, without realizing it, will help you in choosing.

Sports betting in bookmakers offline - risks

Some prefer to place bets at home, sitting comfortably behind a laptop. Others need the spirit of excitement that hovers in the offline bookmaker. Both types of pastime have their own characteristics that should be taken into account. What do you need to keep in mind while in BC?

Make your own decision

Regulars, seeing a newcomer, like to be clever in front of him, show what a pro they are. But the most dangerous thing is that they give advice on how and what to bet on. Of course, the outcome of the game often coincides with their predictions. Listen to them, but the decision to bet on a particular event should come from you. Why?

Firstly, if you do only what you are advised, you will not learn to understand betting, analyze, and draw conclusions. Secondly, if the bet loses, you will blame them - this is wrong. Well, and thirdly, you become dependent on them in case of success, and if you are asked for money, you will morally feel no right to refuse.

Not enough information

At home, you have many sources of information that you can find by connecting to the Internet. There is only a large TV and, possibly, additional monitors for viewing statistics and match results.

Of course, now many people have modern gadgets in the form of sophisticated mobile devices and tablets. But there will always be people who will unwittingly interfere with you, and how can you concentrate here, in this noise-din.

Delayed payouts for big wins

It often happens that there is not enough money in the cashier and the bettor has to wait a day or even more to receive his winnings. Of course, this almost never happens in reputable institutions, but there is still a risk.

Unwanted clients

If the managers please, they may not even let you in the door of the establishment. This is done for various reasons. For example, bookmakers don’t like bettors who are constantly and very lucky - it’s clear who wants to lose money. Another reason is the accusation of fraudulent activities. This is indeed the case. Some players try to fake winning cards and get paid more than once. Another option is to fake cards as such. So, the client did not even make a bet, but allegedly comes with a winning card, which he printed on his printer, having studied all the features, respectively.

But even if you do not resort to fraud, one fine day the administrators can refer to the clause of the Bookmaker Rules and pay you a bet with a coefficient of 1, i.e. make a return. This is at best, they may not pay at all.

In order not to face all this, choose solid betting shops that have proven themselves on the positive side. Read reviews, listen to what regulars say - in this case, their opinion will come in handy, and you will never turn into.

Football betting

Football is the most popular sport to bet on. For many, it remains the main sport for making money on bets. Again, professionals do not bet on intuition, their own assumptions, and so on. Fans do this in the hope that their favorite club will win the match. Or they simply make a bet, counting on their luck, fortune, luck, thereby enriching bookmakers and professionals. The pre-match analysis strategy does not always work, so fans often make mistakes. It is impossible to predict random goals, a red card for the best player on the team, injuries and other events.

There are rules for betting on football matches:

1. Do not bet on your favorite team, there is a possibility that you are biased;
2. Bet on leagues in which you have great knowledge;
3. Try to bypass the main matches, bookmakers display odds up to hundredths.
4. Do not give in to your emotions, you risk making mistakes in subsequent bets made in an emotional outburst.

Do not get carried away with the match itself, keep an eye on the odds, because they change. For professionals, the same hundredths are of considerable importance.

Conclusion

The World Wide Web contains information about methods, rates of earning on bets. Yes, not all of them are working and are worth something, do not despair if something suddenly does not work out the first time, the second and third. Draw conclusions, use the mistakes of the past for the benefit of the future. For many, this type of income is still just a hobby. And if everyone around you says that work should be fun, then why not do it professionally? Successful bettors peacefully sip their favorite drinks, sitting in their favorite chair and earn a living only by betting. Yes, they are really successful, since they can afford to stay at home, do what they love and get good money for it. They do not have a magic wand that will indicate with 100% accuracy who to bet on in this case. They are just professionals in what they do. Read the information wherever you find it, try to find interlocutors who know how to make money on bets and are not averse to advising you something.

Every person has a desire to earn easy money, usually, many people think that the easiest way to do this, of course, is on the betting exchange, or rather, in a bookmaker's office. Counting on a good jackpot, more and more novice bettors become clients of bookmakers. The frivolous give their money away without a fight, the informed and cautious make money on sports betting all the time. How to beat a bookmaker's office, not only preserving, but also increasing the money earned, without succumbing to unbridled passion? More on this and more later in the text.

Earnings on bets: where to start

The most important rule that every bettor should remember, whether a beginner or an experienced player, is to clearly understand the difference between a sober analytical calculation and dependence on the game. In the first case, betting can become a source of additional income, in the second case, it can be a serious problem that can bring you considerable financial losses. So, never play with money from the family budget, savings or borrowed funds. You can bet only the amount that is not able to hit your pocket, for example, allocated for entertainment.

However, too small an initial bank for real earnings is also not suitable. In this case, you should not expect millions from a 1000 ruble deposit. The use of various tactics and strategies implies a certain amount on the gaming account or resignation to the fact that we increase the budget itself with winnings.

It is impossible for a beginner to become a professional handicapper in a few days, but doubling the amount invested in a couple of weeks is quite possible. With experience, the profit will increase, and in a year the bookmaker will be able to become a source of stable income for you.

After the novice better has decided on the size of the initial capital, you need to choose a sport for betting. It is better if it is a fairly common game, for example, loved by millions, in which you are well versed or. Even previously watched matches will be a great opportunity to win on bets.

How bookmakers make money on bets

Bookmakers make a lot of money from frivolous bettors. Those players who believe that it is easy to make money on forecasts in bookmakers are mistaken. The vast majority of bettors only lose money, providing revenue to enterprising businessmen. Some mindlessly make bets, not adhering to any system, and in a fit of excitement they invest more and more money. Others are devoted fans of their favorite teams, as a rule, they don’t care much about winning, the emotions themselves are important. Our goal is to make it clear that sober betting with an analytical assessment without emotional accompaniment can consistently make a profit.

Another part of the profits of bookmakers consists of the so-called margin. This is the difference between the odds that the office takes as an intermediary. For example, if the probability of winning between teams is 40 and 60%, the bookmaker gives 37 and 57, respectively. The offices employ a wide staff of experts who make predictions for matches, and also artificially lower the odds for outcomes that are popular with players for betting.

How to make money on bets: instructions for a beginner

All bookmakers are created with one goal - to make a profit, so relying on a huge jackpot, jackpot and the like is simply stupid. Even if you manage to win a large amount (above 100,000 rubles), its full payment at a time can only be expected in the case of a legal bookmaker and probably with a delay. Therefore, it is advisable to place medium-sized bets in different bookmakers, not to keep serious money in your accounts and withdraw even insignificant winnings more often.

Step by step instructions for beginners:

1. Registration on the betting exchange.

In Russia, it is better to choose bookmakers who have managed to obtain a license for their activities. No one is responsible for payments at rates in illegal offices. It is useful to read reviews about the work of a bookmaker on the Internet on special forums for bettors, ask around friends who play. On our site you will find only official bookmakers in the Russian Federation, where taxes are transferred to the state budget from the net profit from winnings. So you are guaranteed to get your money.

1. Refill.

The office (or even two) is selected, now you need to put money into a virtual wallet. Bookmakers offer a wide range of deposit methods: bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, Maestro), electronic systems (qiwi, webmoney, Yandex money), cash at betting shops. The main EPS of licensed bookmakers is Qiwi, and online banking also works great.

1. Rate selection.

Now you can play. Open a line at your bookmaker and place a bet.

One of the main mistakes of beginners is thoughtless forecasts at the behest of intuition. Sooner or later, such tactics will still lead to a complete drain of the bank, and the bettor, wanting to win back, will invest more and more new amounts, gradually raising rates. How not to be in this seemingly inextricable circle and outwit the bookmaker? That's right - have a good strategy and stick to it.

Betting strategies

On the Internet, you can find many strategies for making a profit in bookmakers. Some of them are highly effective, others are extremely doubtful. It is not necessary for a beginner to study each of them. We bring to your attention the most effective and time-tested options. After a series of strategies played, when earnings on sports betting become constant, you can rivet your own action plan.

1. Betting against favorites.

It is difficult for novice bettors to see such events, and many experienced analysts use this tactic. Its meaning is that the coefficient on the favorite is always small, experts take into account past achievements and maximally assess his chances for a future game. But you need to follow it carefully - the match is influenced by many events, which, it is advisable to study.

The Spanish team Barcelona is very strong in the home championship. Bookmakers always give a small odds for her victory. However, in parallel, the club also plays matches in the Champions League. The schedule is drawn up in such a way that on Tuesday Barcelona will face a very important meeting with the Italian Juventus, and before it, on Saturday, as part of the national championship, the favorite plays with mediocre Malaga. Bookmakers, out of habit, set the minimum odds for a strong club to win, little considering the fact that the team will not give all the best and spend all their energy on an ordinary duel. As a result, Malaga won with a score of 2:0, and bettors who adhere to this strategy received a very good profit.

1. "Forks".

Some time ago, the use of "forks" was extremely popular among betters. They registered in several offices and played on the difference in odds. However, today the numbers of bookmakers do not differ much, and they have learned to calculate the "arb" one or two. So they have every right to block the account.

Bayern and Real Madrid meet in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. We will bet on the passage of one of the teams further.

1st office offers the following odds:

Bavaria - 1.5;

Real - 2.5.

2nd office:

Bavaria - 1.8;

Real - 1.9.

We form a "fork": Real 2.5 each (from the first office) and Bayern 1.8 each (from the second). There are even special calculators on the Internet, according to which you can correctly distribute the amount of the bank to make a profit.

So, in our case:

Initial pot $200. According to the surebets calculator, we should bet 83.72 on Real Madrid and 116.28 on Bayern. In any case, the winnings of 9.3 dollars are guaranteed to us. Not much, but with a 100% guarantee.

1. Dogon.

The catch-up strategy is the favorite among betters. Its essence is to increase the amount of the bet when the previous forecast is lost. Although this strategy is also used in casinos, it is important that there is enough budget before the winning bet.

We will bet on total over in football on the Italian team Milan with odds of 2.

1. Milan - Genoa: forecast of 100 bucks for over 2.5. The match ended with the victory of the hosts with a score of 1:0, the bet lost.
2. Pescara - Milan: the forecast is already $200 for over 2.5. The match ended in a draw 1:1, the bet lost.
3. Milan - Palermo: double again - 400 bucks for TB2.5. The match ended 4:0, the bet played.

Net profit amounted to:

400*2 – 400 – 200 – 100 = $100.

In addition to gaming strategies, there are financial ones, the most famous of them:

• Martingale strategy (based on the catch-up principle);
• d'Alembert's strategy (a variation of the first);
• flat (game for a fixed amount).

Unfortunately, win-win strategies in theory in practice have a number of drawbacks, the main of which are: the limitation of the maximum bet by the bookmaker and the non-endless initial pot of the better.

Professional handicappers identify three main components of success:

1. A reliable bookmaker whose activities do not contradict the laws of the Russian Federation.
2. Properly chosen game strategy and attention to detail.
3. Psychological resilience and control over your emotions.
4. Make the most of the bonuses offered by bookmakers to increase your earnings on bets.

Many successful bettors share their knowledge on social networks for free with less fortunate colleagues, give useful tips and teach how to make money on bets. Their experience proves that beating the bookmaker is real! Absorb information, test and win, and then earning on sports betting can become your main source of income.
