According to official data, 67% of respondents used the services of a totalizer or bookmaker at least once in their life. This is not surprising: in the world of gambling, sports betting has always occupied a special place. Most players prefer betting due to the simplicity of actions and a fairly high probability of winning.
There are players who enjoy the steam process itself. Excitement and the desire to win add even more spectacle and emotional intensity to a sporting event. However, "lovers" is rather a passing category.
Over time, having gained gaming experience and comparing his success with other bettors, the player is no longer satisfied with rare wins and "lucky" bets. Such players begin to understand the basics of bookmaking, choose working strategies and earn money on bets on a permanent basis. There are also those who understand that betting is not their business and end their partnership with the bookmaker.
At first glance, it seems that earning on bets is easy money that does not require special skills and investments. However, in reality the situation is different. Like any profession, betting requires dedication, extreme concentration and skill. Knowledge in the field of mathematics and psychology of human behavior will be useful here. And one cannot do without stress resistance. You should not expect quick success, each bettor needs a different amount of time to develop the version of the game that is suitable for him.
The essence of a successful bet is to try to beat the bookmaker on your own field. It is not easy to do this, since the office's work is based on the principle of profiting from bettors' games. In addition, the bookmaker has many trump cards in his hands: statistical data, the possibility of changing the odds during the match, access to any client's account.
If the player is an extraordinary person, for whom the pattern of actions is foreign, he has a better chance of success. To get what others don't have, you need to do what others don't do. Predictability is the main enemy of a professional player.
School of sports betting is a set of basic rules and tips that will help you understand the complexities of betting on sports and significantly increase the probability of winning a bet. It is important not to neglect the little things, because it is precisely on them that the advantage of bookmakers rests.
The bet itself represents pairs of a player with an employee of a bookmaker company, taking into account the pre-agreed rules. When the bet is accepted, there are three possible options:
- the bet will play, and the bettor will receive his winnings;
- the bet will lose, the player will lose his money;
- the bookmaker will refund the bet, and the player will receive the bet money back.
Calculation of coefficients on the outcomes of a sports event.
The main indicator that a bettor pays attention to before making a deal is the odds of a sports event. It is set by the bookmaker and determines the probability of one or another outcome. It is on this basis that professionals judge whether it is worth placing a bet or waiting for a more favorable offer. Knowing the coefficient, you can calculate your winnings in advance if the bet passes.
There are three types of coefficients:
-decimal, the most popular in European countries. They look like whole numbers written through a period or a comma. To determine your winnings, you need to multiply the amount of the bet by the offered coefficient. The more favorable the coefficient, the less chances for this outcome according to the bookmaker.
- small, used in Great Britain. They look like fractions with a horizontal line. To calculate the profit, the coefficient is multiplied by the amount of the bet. And to get the figure of the total winnings, it is necessary to add the amount of the initial bet to the received amount.
- the American coefficient. The "+" sign in front of the number shows how much the player will be able to win after making a bet of 100 euros. Usually used for an underdog team. The "-" sign indicates the required bet amount to get 100 euros of profit. Thus, the nominal favorite is marked.
The probability of each outcome of a sports event is used to correctly calculate the coefficients. The sum of these probabilities is always equal to 1.
The formula for calculating coefficients:
Q=1/W, where the Q-coefficient, W-probability of the given outcome.
Bookmakers estimate the probability indicator independently by analyzing the game line of the team's (athlete's) past games or resort to the help of special programs.
Valuable, or "valuable" bets attract special attention of players. They have a higher probability than the bookmaker calculated. They are distinguished by a higher coefficient and an increased risk of loss.
Similar rates are calculated according to the formula:
V*C>100, where V-probability, C-coefficient.
If the received figure is greater than 100, the bet is considered valuable.
Popular strategies
The basic rule of a professional betting player is statistics and calculation, and emotions are postponed for later. Without a game strategy, you cannot count on a solid profit. Some bettors use already available options, some prefer their own developments.
Here are the simplest and most understandable working strategies:
In bettor circles, it is called the "catch-up" method. Its essence is to double the amount of the bet with each loss. As soon as the bet is played, it is necessary to return to the original amount. The scheme is designed for several bets in a row and is unlikely to bring profit in the short term. However, if the player is serious, waiting can bring good monetary compensation.
- Dalamier scheme.
It has a certain similarity with catch, however, in this interpretation, the bet in case of loss increases by the amount originally deposited. If the bet plays, it must be reduced in the same proportion.
- Scheme of Oskar Grind.
Here it is proposed to divide the common bank into 10 equal parts. The first bet is 1/10 of the pot. If the bet plays, the amount is doubled. If the pair does not pass, the amount remains the same.
It is foolish to deny the difficulty of making a permanent income in sports betting, because they were conceived primarily for the entertainment of the public. However, if you manage the bank correctly and develop your own betting technique, you may well be able to not only enjoy watching a sports event, but also earn a decent amount.
