How to place a winning bet on sports

In order to make successful sports betting, a player must adhere to a few rules of quality betting.

Rules

First, he will need financial discipline. A player should use a financial management strategy. Thanks to this, he will be able to bet successfully in the long run.

Second, a player must have a good understanding of the sport he is betting on. Particularly, a thorough knowledge of rules, tournament regulations, opponent’s condition, etc. is required.

Thirdly, it requires a pre-match analysis and choosing the right strategy. It is not necessary to blindly copy anyone’s recommendations when choosing a strategy. It can be someone else’s strategy, supplemented by your own knowledge and a good pre-match analysis.

Fourth, do not bet on low odds (under 1.3). Sensations are always happening in sports, and such bets cannot make a significant profit. So even one loss can offset 5-10 successful bets.

How to choose a betting provider

Winning at betting is half the battle. The player also has to withdraw his winnings from his account at the bookmaker’s office. Therefore, bettors should be careful in choosing a betting company. In this matter, one should be guided by:

• Availability of a licence. Legitimate betting companies are reliable and trustworthy. Betting on the sites of bookmakers with a license, the player can be confident in the payment of winnings.
• Availability of all necessary betting functionality. A good bookmaker should provide a wide line, live betting, access to live streaming, mobile applications for different OS, etc.
• The size of the odds. The bookmaker’s margin should be moderate.
• Customer feedback from the company. It is important to understand that many reviews are subjective or even paid for.

The best sports betting

To make winning bets on sports, experienced punters recommend betting on:

• An outcome (a draw or a win for one of the teams). The popularity of this betting option is due to its simplicity. In this case, you only need to predict the outcome of the match (not the exact score).
• A double outcome (1X, X2, 12). The popularity of this bet is due to the fact that it allows you to insure in case of a misfire of the favorite.
• Total. Players may bet on totals – not only goals (points), but also corners, infractions, eights, etc.
• Both goals scored. This is the outcome you can bet on in football or hockey.
• A head-to-head in basketball. In this sport the range of results is the biggest. That is why many players use a strategy with minus handicaps on favourites or plus handicaps on underdogs.

Forks are also a guarantee of winning at betting odds in the betting shops. To take advantage of this loophole, players need to learn how to find arbitrage situations in different BKs. The difference in the odds makes it possible to bet on opposite events with a guaranteed profit. However, it is worth knowing that bookmakers do not like “fornicators” and are constantly blocking them. In addition, the advent of modern betting software allows bookmakers to rarely allow the occurrence of “forks”.

In general, there is no “magic pill” that will allow a player to become successful. Success can only be achieved by developing one’s own style and selecting a suitable strategy.
