How to learn to bet in bookmakers for a beginner or an experienced forecaster? In this article, we will just analyze the secrets of turning from a “nub” into a professional capper / better.

How to bet on sports correctly? Understanding terminology

A bookmaker is an institution that accepts money and bets on certain events. In the case of a correct forecast, you are paid a multifold amount of the bet. If the forecast turned out to be wrong, your bet loses, the money goes to the bookmaker. It is important to understand that the office lays a certain margin in each bet - the amount that allows the bookmaker to remain profitable, despite the victory or loss of the bettors. The margin can range from 1-2% to 10-20% (depending on the event, the policy of a particular office). The basic concepts that a beginner needs to know are presented below.

Line– a list of events with possible outcomes and odds for them. For example, on the line of the bookmaker's office there is a match "Real Madrid - Barcelona", a coefficient of 3.1 is set for the victory of "Barcelona". The more events on the line, the more attractive it is for betters. The list may include football, volleyball, handball, beach soccer, e-sports (Dota 2, KS and others), nuker, golf, badminton, tennis, hockey, field hockey, golf, biathlon, water polo and others. As a standard, there are more than 20 sports in the bookmaker. In legal bookmakers "1xBet "," Leon ”, “League of rates » If desired, you can bet on political events (presidential elections, the victory of a certain party, and others). You can bet on show business (to win the Eurovision show).

Coefficient ("kef", "kef")– the number by which the bet amount is multiplied to calculate the winnings. Let's say you bet 1,000 rubles on the victory of Real Madrid in the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The coefficient set by the bookmaker was 2.3. To calculate your winnings, you need 1,000 rubles * 2.3 = 2,300 rubles. It is this amount that the bookmaker should credit you with the correct prediction of the event.

"Bid"- the amount of money that the player contributes to the cashier of the bookmaker. If you are betting online, this is the amount wagered on a specific selection.

"Express" ("chain", "locomotive")- a type of bet that involves a simultaneous bet on several events that are independent of each other. Event odds are multiplied, which allows you to win more. If at least 1 of the bets does not enter, then the entire accumulator loses. If you are a beginner and do not know how to place bets correctly, do not take risks with express bets.

"System"- a set of several express trains. If more than 50% wins, then the player remains "in the black".

Cancellation of a bet– calculation of the bet with the coefficient “1” (in accordance with the rules of the bookmaker’s office).

Limit- the maximum value indicated by the bookmaker for the amount of the bet, for the number of bets and others.

"Single" (aka "single bet", "ordinary")- a bet that is made on the outcome of 1 event. For example, you bet on the victory of the No. 1 team in a football match.

Domatch– a bet that is made before the start of the match/meeting.

"Live"- bets that are made during the meeting. For example, you watch a live broadcast of Krasnodar - Fenerbahce, and in the course of the confrontation you bet on victory, totals, "Who will receive a red card", "Correct score", "Winning in the second half".

Combination bets- a type of bet in which it is necessary to guess several outcomes of a meeting or part of it at once. For example, in a bookmaker's office you may be offered to guess "Winner + Total", "Winner in the 1st half + winner of the match" and others. For beginners, we do not recommend contacting such bets, since the risk of losing is high.

These are the basic terms you need to know to get started. Over time, you will learn more and more, begin to master strategies and tactics, watch analytics. It will not be superfluous to find sites that host paid and free predictions.

How to bet correctly? Understanding the main types of bets

Bookmakers have the right to offer customers different types of bets.

"Winner". You need to predict who will be the winner in a football/hockey/tennis match. The chances of making a correct prediction and winning are 33%.
"Double Chance". We recommend this type to beginners, as it reduces risks. You need to bet on 2 out of 3 possible outcomes. The chances of winning are increased up to 50%.
"Total". You need to predict what number a certain parameter will be greater than. This is the number of goals in the match, the number of goals scored by one team, the number of corners, red cards, yellow cards and others. You bet on total over or total under. For example, a total over 2.5 means: "There will be more than 2 goals in the match." If there are 3, 4, 5 or more of them, then you win.
"Fora". A bet in which you need to predict the winner and the number of points with which he will win. "Handicap base" - the number of goals and points that are added to the actual result. Beginners can use this bet, but be careful. Handicap is a great option in those situations when we have a clear favorite, whose victory there is no doubt.
"Even/Odd". It is considered an exotic type of bet. It is assumed that you need to predict: the number of goals, the score in the match, the number of red cards and others will be even or odd. Even numbers are all that are divisible by 2 without leaving a remainder (2, 4, 6, 8, 38, 46, 22, 122, 168 and others).
"Who will start from the center of the field?". Another type that is difficult to predict and guess. The bookmaker offers to guess which team will get the right to throw in the ball. Perhaps one of the bets in which you play "only for luck." It is not in demand among professional betters.
"Who will score the first / last / X goal / next goal." The task is to predict which team will score a goal at a certain stage. For "domatch" the terms "first" and "last" are used. For a bet in the "live" mode, the possibility of the "next goal" was provided.
Goalscorer. The better must guess which of the football players/hockey players will score the goal. You can predict who will get the first goal. You can the one who will be the last. Or whoever scores next. The bookmaker will offer you a list of names to choose from. If you are sure that someone else will score, then select the "Other" category. An exotic and risky option that professional bettors prefer not to mess with.
"Accurate account". A clear type of bet: you have to guess with what score the teams will go. It can be 0:1, 0:0, 0:2, 1:1, 2:1 and others.
Both will score. For beginners, this type of betting is also not recommended. The point is to guess whether 2 teams can score goals during the meeting. There are options with "Yes" and "No" outcomes.
"Winner of the Remaining" ("Who will win in the remaining time?"). You need to predict the winner from the moment you place your bet until the end of regular time. For example, we have a meeting between Ludogorets Razgrad and Copenhagen, the score is 1:1. At the beginning of the second half, you bet that Ludogorets Razgrad will be the winner. In this case, the team must score at least 1 more goal before the end of the match (excluding extra time).
“The most productive part of the event”, “The most productive part”, “Where will the most goals be?”. Your task is to predict in which part of the meeting there will be the most goals / washers / points.
"Dry victory". It is necessary to understand whether one of the teams will have a dry score (“Yes” or “No”). Typical examples of such an account are 1:0, 2:0, 3:0, 4:0.
Race to X points. The better's task is to predict which team will score a given number of points ("X").
"Betting on events in time periods". A typical example is “Goal from the 1st to the 15th minute”, “Red card from the 5th to the 20th minute” and the like.
"Who is higher?" ("Who will go further?"). The player must predict which team will go further in the standings.
"Which zone of the goal will score a goal?". An extravagant type of bet. Your task is to guess in which of the 6 zones of the football goal the goal will be scored. It can be top left corner, bottom left corner, bottom center, top center and others. It is worth betting only if you are sure of the outcome, you know the specifics of the teams and individual players.

Council number 1. Treat betting like a job, not a game

Strategies, betting, selection of matches, analysis of statistics - this is a complex intellectual work. To make money on a bet, and not give money to a bookmaker, you need to:

Develop strategies or use ready-made ones. Beginners need simple and clear options. We do not recommend that you immediately place bets on express or count according to the "system". There is a risk that you will get confused by the numbers.
Define a game bank. If you have the last 1,000 rubles, spend it better on food or clothes. You should bet only the money that you are not afraid to lose. 1 bet accounts for no more than 5% of the game bank. Otherwise, you will just merge.
Do not build castles in the air. Beginners can earn 10% of the bank per month. If you use aggressive strategies, you can increase earnings up to 50% of the deposit.
Follow sports. It makes no sense to bet on snooker or eSports where you don't understand anything.

Paid forecasts lure you into signing up with something like: “Risk-free rates. Only a sure one! This doesn't happen. Sports are unpredictable. Even a favorite with odds of 1.01 can lose. If you don't know how to learn how to bet on sports, test and try.

ATTENTION! Do not buy “agreements” from the first people you meet on social networks. If they are 100% sure of the outcome of the match, why don't they bet themselves? Why give someone the "goose that lays the golden eggs"?

Council number 3. Collaborate only with trusted and legal bookmakers

So far, there are only 3 of them in the Russian Internet space. Bookmakers accept bets through TsUPIS, calculate 13% income tax from each client. This is "1xBet "," Leon ”, “League of rates ". They have foreign analogues of “ligastavok.com” banned in Russia ”, “1xBet and LeonBets. These BC periodically "block", there are mirrors and access. Other bookmakers are represented in the foreign Internet space: Pinnaclesports, WilliamHill, Bet365, Bwin, Unibet, Betfair, Sportingbet, Planetofbets, 10Bet, Parimatch.

ATTENTION! Don't be fooled by the high odds offered by an unknown bookmaker. There may be deceit behind them. The bookmaker will take your money to the account, and then correct it in an unknown direction.

Council number 4. Do not bet on clear favorites with low odds

Some players say that they have built an entire strategy on this: choose clear favorites, find low odds, make a bet. But are you ready to make 20-30 bets a day for the sake of 20 rubles? For example, you have a bank - 1,000 rubles. You bet on the favorite with odds of 1.01. The result is 1,000 rubles * 1.01 = 1,010 rubles. Remember that even at low odds, no one gives you a 100% guarantee of winning. In one bet, you can win 1,010 rubles, and in the second, you can lose 1,000 rubles.

ATTENTION! How to place bets at a bookmaker? Refuse to bet on the favorite, do not bet large sums on it.

Council number 5. Don't bet multiples when you don't have experience

Express attracts with high odds. But in order to win, you need all outcomes to “set”. If at least 1 bet loses, then the whole "express" falls apart, your money is transferred to the bookmaker's account.

If you still decide to challenge yourself and the world, choose no more than 2-3 events. The coefficient for each outcome should not exceed 2 (ideally -1.5 -1.7). It will take a long time to “chase” such events, but the chance to win is higher.

Council number 6. Refuse to bet if you have a "black streak"

Beginners "sin" with the desire to make more and more bets in order to cover the loss. As a result, the minus is growing, the excitement is growing along with them. In a couple of hours, the entire bank is transferred to the bookmaker's office. Professional bettors do not believe in luck, but they look closely at the course of bets. If you have a “black streak”, 5 bets in a row have not entered, stop. You may have lost control of yourself somewhere. Perhaps they stopped analyzing events correctly. Get distracted by sports, communication with family, trips to loved ones.

Let's say you have chosen "Bet on the favorite", bet on it 1-3% of the bank. You have determined that you need to make 5-8 bets per week to make a profit. If you deviate from the “plan”, you risk losing money. Make it a rule: you can not double or triple the amount of the bet. This approach will lead to a drain. According to statistics, only 1 out of 5 beginners starts earning normally. Others succumb to excitement, courage, luck / bad luck. As a result, the bank is merged.

Let's say you are a passionate fan of the royal Spanish team Real Madrid, you have been to all meetings and championships, you know all the subtleties. But you don’t need to bet on your “favorite” at the bookmaker’s office.” It has been proven time and time again: you place bets based on your personal preferences. Subjective assessment "clouds" the eyes and does not allow to see the real state of affairs.

Some of the players are out of shape.
Someone did not have time to recover from an injury.
The coach put someone on the bench.
The team lost motivation.
Conflicts within the team "tear" it and interfere with the normal game.

Betting is a world where you need to constantly control what is happening. How to learn to bet in bookmakers for a beginner? The first thing you need to look at is sports.

What form is the team in?
What masts are coming up?
How do the athletes feel?
What are the results of previous team meetings?
What are the latest match statistics for Team #1 and Team #2?
Were there any substitutions?
Which athletes recover from injury?
What are their weak points?

On the Internet you can find not only articles about this, but also the latest news. There are resources devoted exclusively to statistics. You need to go to them, enter the name of the team, period - and get a list. Do not forget that every professional better has his own statistics (in Word, Excel, Google Docs).

Tip number 10. Remember that stakes are not your whole world

There is a real life in which there are children, parents, friends and relatives. Don't trade your life for constantly running with burning eyes for a better bet, for a higher odds, for a profitable and profitable sporting event.

1. Earnings on bets - how much can a beginner really earn

Newbies often ask: “Is it possible to make money on bets and how much do ordinary people earn on this?”

Earning on bets is a highly risky investment, but this method of financial investment can bring much more profit than, say, a regular bank deposit. As for the risk, it is present in any operations related to finance.

Hence the first and largely defining betting rule for beginners: it’s worth playing at a bookmaker’s office only for free money - that is, those that you can spend without risk to your own well-being.

You should not play with money borrowed or from the general family budget.

However, it’s also not worth starting with a “little thing” game either: in order to bet according to the strategy and count on at least a theoretical profit, the bankroll (the initial size of the game bank) must allow you to make at least 50 equal bets.

Let's try to figure out how to make money on bets, if not constant, then at least periodically. How to make a bookmaker a source of income?

There are professional handicappers (people for whom betting is a full-time job). They are engaged in sports analytics and are well versed in mathematical aspects. Becoming a professional is not easy: first we need to understand how a bookmaker works and master the main rules of sports forecasting.

So, to start betting, the following conditions are necessary:

Permanent access to the Internet;
Having several hours of free time every day;
Mindfulness and the ability to control your emotions (this is one of the most important points);
Initial capital (bankroll);
Interest in any sport.

Usually beginners choose football, hockey or basketball. According to professionals, tennis is the most profitable for predicting, but if this sport is not to your liking, then you can start betting on football - this is the most popular sport in the whole world (except for the USA).

The real amount that a beginner can earn with minimal investment is 10% of the bank per month.

Of course, if you use risky strategies, you can actually earn all 50%, but then the probability of a complete drain of the bank inevitably increases.

Believe me, 10% is quite a decent figure, but you can achieve stability only if you follow certain rules and approach the business of sports forecasting soberly and rationally.

2. How bookmakers work

As practice shows, people of different ages try to make money on rates - from university students to pensioners. All these people are united by a love for sports - mainly in the status of fans. Why not make interest in sports competitions a source of permanent income?

Bookmakers (BC) put out hundreds of different offers for us every day, from which we have the right to choose any. The advantage of the player lies in his right to choose any bet. Ideally, each player should only place a bet that is close to 100% certainty.

However, in practice, most bets are made thoughtlessly, in addition, a significant part of all bookmaker customers are amateurs who bet for their own pleasure.

You can approach sports betting from this point of view: bookmakers provide us with the opportunity to take risks and add adrenaline. And if with the money we win we still sometimes manage to buy flowers for our wife, and ice cream for our children, this is already wonderful.

But if you are reading this text, then your goal is not only to have fun, but also to get a stable profit over a long distance. To do this, the approach to betting must be strategic: playing for luck is not safe for capital.

A bookmaker's office, in essence, is an intermediary that takes a certain percentage for its services.

This percentage is called the margin - it is thanks to the margin that the probability of an outcome in percent for equally probable events offered by the bookmaker will not be 50/50, but, say, 47/47.

Where did the 6 percent go, you ask? The answer is that they went to the bookmaker for intermediary services. This is not yet the main source of income for the bookmaker.

Offices also make a profit by adjusting the coefficient according to public opinion and financial flows. In other words, the bookmaker knows where the average player will put money and artificially lowers the probability of this outcome, expressed in odds.

3. Step-by-step instructions for beginners on making money on bets

The system in sports betting is half the success.

For those who have never made bets in a bookmaker, it will not be superfluous to read the step-by-step instructions:

First you need to carefully read the rules of the bookmaker, understand the basic terms and concepts from the world of betting.
Then you need to register with the bookmaker, create an electronic wallet (WebMoney, Neteller, YandexMoney) if you don't have one yet.
The next step: replenishment of the deposit - you place a certain amount on your account in the BC.
Choose events and place a bet.
Some advise to save all coupons - won and lost - in electronic form (this will protect the player from disputes in the future).

The main problem of playing via the Internet is the effect of dragging players in and turning them into gamblers. Making bets via the Internet is very simple: just make a few clicks, but at the same time, large amounts can be transferred from your pocket to the bookmaker's account.

Tip: do not keep too large amounts of money in the account and withdraw profits more often, if any.

4. Strategies for making money on bets

There are dozens of strategies that allow you to make money at a bookmaker. But it will be enough for a beginner to get acquainted with the most reliable and profitable of them.

It should be understood that there are no win-win strategies, otherwise all offices would have been ruined long ago: there is only an opportunity to significantly increase the likelihood of making long-term profits by placing bets according to a certain scheme.

Game strategies

The most popular game strategies are:

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

The vast majority of players try to guess or predict the outcome of the game without thinking about the financial efficiency of their game in the long run. Most bookmaker players are so-called "forecasters" - they are not so much interested in money as in guessing the result.

There is also a fundamentally different category of players who, first of all, are guided by odds and long-term profit. If such players see a bet that is profitable in the long run, they will definitely make it. If you constantly bet on a coefficient overestimated by the bookmaker, then profit after a certain period of time is guaranteed.

This principle is called Value Betting ("value betting") - that is, betting on events underestimated by the bookmaker.

This principle can be more clearly explained by the following example. Most players always bet on the conditional "Real Madrid", not paying attention to the coefficient and rightly believing that this superclub is stronger than its rival in any case. But the “valuers” do not take into account a specific match, but work for the future and bet against Real Madrid.

Since the odds for such an outcome are always very high, even a single misfire of the superclub will bring more money than regular bets on the favorite.

Such strategies as "catching up" and "forks" in theory are win-win, but only in theory.

For such bets to be profitable, two conditions must be met:

The player must have an infinite game bank;
The bookmaker should allow him to bet any amount.

In practice, both conditions are unattainable for objective reasons. It is still worth talking about these strategies, although we do not advise beginners to practice them.

Catching up is a constant increase in the amount of the bet after each loss, which allows you to return the money with interest. Catching up is both a financial and gaming strategy. Let's say you bet on a draw for a certain team until this event happens, while each time increasing the amount in such a way as to cover financial losses and make a profit.

A draw will definitely happen, but there is a certain danger: it can happen at a time when you no longer have money for the next bet.

Surebets or arbitrage bets were once very popular, but now, when the odds offered by bookmakers are about the same everywhere, it is becoming more and more difficult to play on the difference. In addition, the offices themselves do not like arbers and can easily block their accounts, suspecting them of betting on arbitrage.

Financial Strategies

There are also many financial strategies:

Fixed income;
Martingale strategy;
Kelly criterion;
Flat.

It is believed that beginners should try to bet approximately the same amount. The game of a rigidly fixed amount in a long period of time is called "flat". We consider this strategy the most reliable and profitable. Moreover, after a long-term game, luck will clearly show whether the player has a gaming or mathematical advantage over the bookmaker.

5. Earnings on football betting

No professional handicapper makes a profit thanks to "feel" (intuition, luck, fortune). Of course, all sports forecasters need a certain amount of luck, but this quality is not a superpower, the result of experience and numerous mistakes. Yes, yes, for a smart person, mistakes are the best school.

In football, every fan considers himself an analyst, a predictor, an expert. This sport is unrivaled by bookmakers in terms of box office receipts. In no other sports discipline there are so many "specialists" who know who, how, when and why will win. Almost all players who come to bet for the first time in the betting shop, and for many it remains the main sport.

Meanwhile, it is not enough just to understand football and have statistical information to be successful in betting. Even experienced players and coaches do not always guess the winners. Soccer is a very unpredictable sport in which not the strongest opponent often wins.

This is explained simply: the low effectiveness of football games, the increased likelihood of refereeing errors and random goals.

To successfully bet on football, you must follow a number of simple but effective rules:

Never bet on your favorite team (you will definitely either overestimate or underestimate it);
Do not bet on all football leagues in a row: just choose one or two in which you are best versed;
Try to bypass top matches (central matches of the tour, final fights): as a rule, the odds for such games are verified by bookmakers to hundredths;
Control of emotions: the absence of excessive emotional reactions is a guarantee of stability.

And one more piece of advice: follow the movement of the coefficients, trying to bet on the most profitable value. For professionals, even tenths and hundredths matter.

6. Features of online betting

Today, most players bet at bookmakers via the worldwide web. It's easy to do this today.

Professional bettors regard betting on various events as a profitable investment. Only a small part of the players receives a stable profit. To be successful in this activity, it is not enough to stick to one or more financial and. It is important to be able to bet at the highest odds at the right time.

How to beat the office in the long run

Let’s take a look at typical bettors’ betting methods that can be called successful. It is no secret that some offices prevent successful players in every possible way from being successful. It is clear that in the current competition to do this is stupid. On the other hand, any competent bettor with such an attitude towards himself immediately goes to another office.

In order to protect yourself from various risks and be able to bet not on cut highs and reduced quotes, it is advisable.

Smart bettors always plan their bets a week in advance. They know in advance with high accuracy what odds will be set by the offices for the events of interest. Moreover, some players are able to predict the change in odds. They imagine how the line will move and know when it is most profitable to bet offline.

Such a professional in betting knows in which championships you can find profitable positions. He perceives matches with the giants as a good opportunity to make money by betting on an underdog with a good handicap.

Such players may have a different number of bets per week. Some bet on 10 events, the second - on 20, and some get by with five. It is important to understand here that each sports bet in a bookmaker is perceived as a small investment. Each of them is a profitable investment in the long run of the game.

Let's take a simple example. World Cup group stage match between Brazil and Morocco. The great excitement of fans from all over the world and bettors led to the fact that the quotes for Brazil's clear victory sank to an indecent 1.25. It cannot be said that the Moroccans are so weak that they must necessarily yield to the Brazilians. The odds for Morocco handicap with +2 is 1.6.

The probability of Africans losing to the current Brazilians with a score of 0-3 is not as big as in the line. In this case, a bet with a handicap on Morocco is clearly considered a profitable investment. To understand this, it is enough to make at least 20-30 such bets and calculate the growth of the bank.

Favorable rates online

There are even fewer specialists in online betting than offline. And there is a simple explanation for this. It is very difficult to bet during the games and remain cool. Many bettors lose their nerves, and they rush to win back the lost funds, forgetting about calculations, schemes and strategies.

What is the right way to bet on sports online in order to beat the bookmaker? First of all, you need to learn how to refuse unprofitable offers. It is always necessary to play for value odds. Online odds change very quickly. It is often profitable to bet on a losing opponent, with a zero handicap or on his non-losing, and you can earn.

An example is a tennis match in which two approximate rivals meet. After the end of the first set, the odds for winning one of them dropped to 1.33, and for the opponent rose to 3.5. Naturally, many in live bet on the winning tennis player, since his victory is more likely. But in this situation, it is necessary to estimate at least an approximate probability of winning. A coefficient of 1.35 means that the chances of winning the first athlete are 74%, and the second - 26%. In this situation, it makes sense to turn to statistics and find out how many matches the first and second athlete won in such scenarios.

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 excitement? 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
Pescara - Milan: the forecast is already $200 for over 2.5. The match ended in a draw 1:1, the bet lost.
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:

A reliable bookmaker whose activities do not contradict the laws of the Russian Federation.
Properly chosen game strategy and attention to detail.
Psychological resilience and control over your emotions.
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.

Before placing bets in bookmakers, a novice player needs to learn a number of concepts, without which it will be difficult to comprehend the basics of sports betting.

By placing a bet on Arsenal 100 rubles, you can win 400 rubles.

In turn, the outcome can be on one event (single bet or single), or maybe on the “express” – this is also a bet, but on several independent events at once. The participant wins the accumulator when all the events in it were correctly predicted, but if at least one of them did not come true, this means a loss.

Team 1	Team 2	Win 1	Draw X	Victory 2
Spartacus	Zenith	2.0	2.5	2.6
Dnieper	Dynamo K	2.8	3.2	3.5
Bayer	Bavaria	2.1	2.6	3.4

For example, by placing a bet of 100 rubles on three outcomes: the victory of Zenit, the victory of Dynamo K and Bayern, the player can win: 2.6 * 3.5 * 3.4 * 100 = 3094 rubles, but if one of the indicated teams plays a draw or loses – the whole bet also loses.

The system is a combination of several express trains. The participant makes bets on several different games, if more than half of them win, then he will be in the "plus".
Total is a bet not on the result of a match, but on a certain event in it, for example, the total number of goals scored, yellow cards, etc. There are three total betting options: over, under and equal. In other words, the participant, depending on the coefficients, determines what is better to bet on in the bookmaker's office - either both teams will score more goals from the number indicated in the line, or less, or maybe by the exact number of goals.

Basic designations

To place a bet at a bookmaker, you also need to know how to mark it correctly. In most offices, the outcomes are indicated as follows:

victory of the first team (hosts) - 1;
winning the second team (guests) - 2;
draw - X;
victory of the first team or draw - 1X;
away win or draw - X2;
bet on the game, taking into account the advantage - F. Handicap is a win (positive) or loss (negative) of the team, expressed in the number of goals scored, pucks, sets played, etc., which is provided by the office to the bettor. In simple words, after the result of the game, the participant adds the specified handicap to the goals or points. If in the end the amount of goals matches the bet, then he won.

For example, the handicap for the game is set as follows: Team 1 (-1.5) 1.7 - Team 2 (+1.5) 1.8. If you bet on the second team, it turns out that the team will lose a maximum of one ball, win or draw. The match ends with the score 2:1. Adding the handicap of the second team 1.5, we get 2:2.5 and win the bet.

A few rules for beginners

Before placing bets at a bookmaker, it is recommended that you set some rules for yourself.

First of all, determine a hard limit on the amount of funds that you don’t mind spending on bets. You should constantly monitor all the events and be aware of all the possible nuances regarding the games where you plan to bet.

Do not forget to look through the statistics of teams or athletes, read articles about them, because the more information is known about the participants in the competition, the more knowledge there is to correctly predict the outcome of the match. The main thing for a beginner to remember is that you cannot always be 100% sure of the outcome. In addition, betting on the favorite, you will not earn much, since low odds will always be given on it.

One more reason why you should not bet on clear favorites: firstly, a low odds, and secondly, the leader does not always win, he can draw and even lose. Therefore, experienced players recommend not to immediately make large bets on the favorite, because the loss may be too big.

It is recommended to play in large and well-known bookmakers. They greatly value their reputation and will not disappear the next day, taking the players' money with them. In this regard, remember, seeing high odds in little-known offices, that free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

Beginners should not immediately start with multiple bets, first they need to learn how to make and win simple bets on a single event. If the player believes that he is already ready to bet on several events at the bookmaker’s office (express), then it is recommended to first choose a small chain of events, no more than 2-3, with a coefficient no higher than 2.

Never be led by your emotions. If all the bets are winning, this is good, you can continue to play, but if on the contrary - one bet did not play, then the second, you do not need to lose your temper and continue, because in this case you can lose absolutely everything and never win back.

It is recommended that you always stick to the chosen strategy - bet no more than a certain amount, increase the bet by so many percent, play a certain number of times a week, etc. If a player starts to deviate from his own rules, it can end badly for him. No need to bet on your favorite athletes or your favorite teams. If you look at things realistically, they do not always win, as a result, you can lose your entire bank.

And most importantly: you can not allow "drawing" into the game, when it is already impossible to live a day without a bet. This could end very badly. You should always remember about family and friends. When the first signs of psychological problems are already beginning to appear, you need to find strength and pause, forget about betting for a while, and distract yourself with something else.
