How to win on sports betting. How does a handicap bet work? Why doesn't everyone make money this way?

The desire to consistently receive big money without doing anything special haunts every person.

Making money on bets is one of the few ways to get tangible financial benefits. If you are not yet familiar with the world of betting, before you start playing you will have to learn the most basic rules that can lead to success.

Earning principle

The person who places bets is called a capper (handicapper). Its main task is to guess the outcome of a certain match or event. The amount received depends from the coefficient (the probability of a specific outcome of the event). In all bookmakers, the principle of its calculation is identical - the more likely the result, the lower the odds. Let's look at a specific example.

Let’s say football teams meet each other - “Gaztorg” and “Kramatorets” (the names are fictitious). The first is at the top of the standings, the second is closer to the bottom. Accordingly, there is a high probability that Gaztorg will win this match, since Kramatorets is playing frankly weaker. The coefficient mainly depends on statistical data and slightly on pre-match news regarding the match.

Initially, bookmakers offered only one option for placing bets - before the start of the match. Now that modern technologies have made great strides forward, it is possible to make forecasts live (English: “live broadcast”), that is, right during the course of the event.

How to choose an office?

For the right choice The following factors need to be taken into account:

• Availability ;
• availability of several options for making a deposit to the account;
• the bookmaker's reputation throughout its existence;
• existence of partnerships with sports teams and/or tournament organizers;
• user reviews on the Internet;
• line size.

The line is the number of matches on which you can place your bet. There are bookmakers in which the number of matches is several hundred, and there are those in which several thousand sporting events are offered to clients. Naturally, in this case, the number of available bets can sometimes be 10 thousand or more.

Registration

It may seem that the procedure for creating your own account is no different from registering on other portals. In fact, this is not true. The data must be specified as accurately as possible, as indicated in the passport. The player must be 18 years of age or older. For verification, the bookmaker may require you to send a scan of your passport (usually the first and second pages).

Depending on the rules gaming office, scans can be sent during the registration process or after creating an account.

Domestic bookmakers have not been operating for as long as, for example, English ones. However, working with them is much easier due to the availability of Russian payment systems and bank cards. However, foreign projects offer much more favorable odds. For example, in most events William Hill(the oldest bookmaker in the world, originally from England) offers odds that are 10-15 percent higher than the common ones.

An important point is the withdrawal procedure. If a certain payment system is not supported (for example, Yandex.Money), you will have to register foreign electronic wallets (Payoneer, Neteller, PerfectMoney, and so on). From them you will be able to fully withdraw your earned funds. It would seem nothing complicated, but in this way you increase the cost of commissions during the transfer.

Which sport should I choose?

The most common question among new cappers. The office places bets on several dozen sports. There are also unconventional proposals related to events in culture, politics and even TV series.

For correct selection of one type or another, we recommend following these tips:

• Bet on what you like, what you are oriented towards. For example, if you regularly attend football matches or watch them on TV, there is no point in betting on tennis.
• Check the odds for events before the start of the match. Practice shows that the highest rates are found in basketball and volleyball. Football matches have lower odds on the outcome, but they are more reliable and proven. The same applies to tennis.
• You must be excellent at a particular sport. If you are interested in football, you should definitely monitor the team's condition. Successful handicappers pay attention to even small things like photographs in social networks.

Algorithm of work, types of bets

All offices offer their users an identical operating algorithm. You need to select an event and then enter the monetary amount. Once you confirm your bet, the selected amount of money will be debited from your account.

If you guess the outcome of the match, the money will be returned, but you will also receive a profit, the amount of which depends on the odds. For example, if you bet $100 on a tennis player to win a match with odds of 1.32, you will win $132 ($32 profit). If the event is not matched, the $100 will not be refunded. But this doesn't always happen. More on this below.

Now let's take a look at the types of bets:

• Handicaps. There are three types: zero, minus and plus. The handicap itself is the difference between missed and scored goals/points. Let's imagine that the giants of Spanish football - Barcelona and Real - are meeting on the field. Let's consider each handicap option separately:
  • By placing a handicap (0) on the first team, you will win if the score is 1:0, 2:0, 2:1 and so on. If the team loses, the bet will be considered lost. But in case of a draw, your deposit will be returned to you.
  • Having placed a handicap (-1.5) on the first team, the bet will win if Barcelona wins with a difference of 2 goals. For example, if the final result is 2:0, 3:0, 3:1 and so on, you receive money along with your winnings. If there is a difference of 1 goal or if Barcelona draws/loses, the bet loses. Return to in this case No.
  • Having placed a handicap (+1.5) on the second team, to win, Real needs to not lose by 2 goals, draw or win. If the score is 3:1, 4:2, 2:0 and so on, you lose.
• 1, 2, x1, x2, x. In this case everything is simple. The number “1” indicates the winning of the first team, “2” - the second. “x1” is a bet where you win even if the first team draws. It will lose only if the first team loses to the second. Similarly with the “x2” bet, only here we're talking about about the second team. The “x” symbol without a number means that the bet will only work if the match is a draw.
• Lives and line. “Live” is a bet that can be placed during the event. The line shows matches on which you can only place bets before they start. In live games, the odds are usually lower, since with every minute, point or goal, the probability of a bet increases. Although you can raise good sums by betting on an outsider and hoping that he will turn the tide of the fight.
• Singles and express bets. These are types of bets that differ in the number of matches on which you can bet. An ordinary consists only of a forecast for one event, an express – two or more. In the latter option, the odds are multiplied - by placing, for example, 3 bets on matches with odds of 1.50, 1.47 and 1.32, you ultimately get a final odds of 2.91.

Bookmakers also offer a number of other types of bets - totals for the first/second half or the entire match, forecast of the exact score, totals for penalties/penalties/corners/yellow or red cards and so on.

Is it worth buying fixed matches and forecasts?

Offers to order the purchase of forecasts for regular and fixed matches are actively popularized on the Internet. And most importantly, many people actually use such services. If you decide to order forecasts, you need to remember that there are pitfalls.

There are really thriving communities on social networks in which forecasts are posted in the public domain, and in order to receive bets with the maximum pass, they are offered to purchase. The amounts can be different - from 1 to 20 thousand rubles. However, it is recommended to refrain from this type of purchase. There are several reasons for this:

• Firstly, such information is posted by quite ordinary people who have a little more experience than you. Accordingly, the chances of a successful passage are only slightly higher.
• Secondly, by purchasing such forecasts, you increase expenses from your deposit. It’s better to spend 30-50 minutes yourself analyzing a couple of matches than to pay money out of your own pocket for a forecast of teams that you may not even have heard of. No one here will give you a 100% guarantee of successful passage.

As for so-called “match-fixing”, such information is usually not provided to anyone. If someone claims that they have any connections with the management of clubs or use other schemes, rest assured that these are ordinary scammers posing as business people.

Even if someone knows such information, he will not publish it even for money.

There have been cases in history where teams played suspiciously, and bookmakers recorded many huge bets on an outcome that initially seemed unrealistic. Next, a special committee began proceedings, and such teams were fined. “Agreements” are made only by those who are directly related to the team, but such people will never disseminate such information.

Remember: There are no 100% strategies that can provide a guaranteed win.. There are only those that give results as close as possible to one hundred percent. One of them is “dogon”. It is optimal for betting on tennis. Let's consider a specific case.

Let’s say two tennis players meet each other - the first is in the top ten of the world rankings, the second is in the fourth hundred. Of course, the odds for a clear victory for the first player will be tiny. Therefore, bets are placed on catch-up games. The goal is to bet that your opponent will win someone else's serve. The strategy requires a large amount of money in the account, as well as a little luck. For example, we have one thousand rubles as a deposit:

• The first game, the 1st player serves, the odds for the second player to win the game are 4. The bet is 5 rubles. Lost.
• Second game, the 2nd player serves, the odds for the first player to win the game are 2.25. The bet is 10 rubles. Lost.
• The third game, the 1st player serves, the odds for the second player to win the game are 3.90. The bet is 20 rubles. Lost.
• The fourth game, the 2nd player serves, the odds for the first player to win the game are 2.41. The bet is 40 rubles. Won.

We spent 5+10+20+40=75 rubles on bets. In the fourth game, the first player won someone else's serve, and we received 96.4 rubles. Our winnings amounted to 21.4 rubles.

Concerning useful tips, the main thing is to be disciplined. Never place bets in order to quickly win back. This usually leads to complete bankruptcy. Make yourself a specific schedule, write down all the nuances. This will allow you to spend your budget effectively, as well as guarantee stable winnings.

Common mistakes

The most common mistakes include the following:

• lack of discipline, desire to quickly win back;
• the desire to get a million from a hundred in just a couple of days;
• trust in “false forecasters” who convince their clients that winning is guaranteed;
• Regular placing of bets on the victory of your favorite team;
• placing “random” bets, information about which has not been analyzed.

How much can you earn and is it realistic?

Successful cappers can double their pot in just 1-2 weeks. Depending on what the final coefficients are, Every day you can make a profit equal to 3-100%.

If we take, for example, a daily increase in the deposit by three percent, after a month it will increase two and a half times. If you work according to this principle for six months, investing 1000 rubles, you will receive 244 thousand. But this is subject to competent analysis of matches and discipline.

How to place bets correctly

You can make stable money from betting. AND main secret successful income – professionalism. To become a professional you will need:

1. Learn to understand certain sports. It is ideal to know the rules of the game and refereeing in order to make informed bets.
2. Choose a good bookmaker. In this case, it does not matter where it will be, how far from the player. It is worth very carefully studying the reviews about the offices and understanding the betting system.
3. Assiduously read analytical articles and study the results of various matches and championships. You need to know what shape the team is in, which players are injured, and be interested in the emotional mood of the team. For example, the outcome of a match may not have any significance for the team at all, and accordingly, the motivation for its members will be different. It is important to learn to take everything into account, even weather conditions. After all, even a strong team is not immune from losing due to force majeure.
4. Develop an individual betting strategy. Determine the balance between risky and minimum bets. But you need to remember that there is no perfect strategy. The best option is a combination of sports and financial strategies.
5. Learn to manage your own capital. Don't play all-in. The outcome of sports competitions is 100% unpredictable.
6. Have an analytical mind and possess mathematical knowledge.

The betting business is not easy, but very exciting. There are those who managed to get rich, and those who make good money or have completely retired from business.

How to place bets correctly for a beginner

It is impossible to become a professional overnight. But you have to start somewhere. To do this, you can use the trust management service. Anyone who wants to make money on bets finds a professional better (a person who knows how to place bets) and transfers his money to him for circulation. Such people have connections in betting communities and have access to information that is not intended for wide range persons

Naturally, the better will take a certain percentage for his services, but he will transfer the profit to your account.

In the meantime, you can begin to understand the work system yourself, making small bets and receiving, albeit modest, income. Both a professional and a beginner, and, of course, a bookmaker can make money here. The earnings of a small bookmaker's office range from 20 to 40 thousand rubles per month.

How does the betting business work?

A business is built on a bet or dispute. The bookmaker evaluates the probability of the outcome of a game or match and determines the odds for it. Players or betters place their bets. If the outcome was guessed, then the bettors make a profit.

Here we can draw an analogy with the banking system. The client deposits a certain amount into a bank account, for example, at 10%. At the end of the year, the profit is plus 10% of the deposit amount. When money is invested in bookmakers, the same 10% can be received at the end of a sports game or match in a particular sport.

Interest income depends both on the specific sporting event and the bet on it, and on the bookmaker.

Large bookmakers have a convenient website and operate internationally. Therefore, the risk of fraud with in cash they don't have it. Bookmaker websites have all the necessary statistics and a convenient search engine.

In addition, placing bets via the Internet is much safer than going, for example, in the evening with money to some office where a dubious company gathers. Having placed a bet via the Internet, you can be at home with your family and mind your own business while waiting for the outcome of the game.

How else can you make money on bets?

In order to start earning money, you don’t need to travel far in search of a bookmaker’s office. It is enough to register on the selected site, create an electronic wallet, have initial capital and understand one or more sports.

There is no need to be afraid of electronic wallets. From any of them, money is easily transferred to an account in a real bank. There are no problems with this.

The bookmaker wins when the players lose. But bookmakers themselves set the winning odds in advance. There are also sweepstakes. The winning percentage on them depends on the number of players who took part in the game and placed bets. Nowadays, bookmakers are more popular because they openly inform players about bets, and bettors can calculate their income if successful.

Players can earn 1 dollar, or they can earn a million. It all depends on the size of the bet. But we must remember that you can’t treat earning money on bets the same way as you would a lottery. Betting is a serious analytical work in which failures are inevitable. Those who bet haphazardly lose. The winning goes to thinking players. To become a professional bettor you need daily painstaking work self-control and self-discipline.

Rules successful business on bets

1. Be calm and don’t bet only on your favorite team.
2. Never pay back to the last penny. Emotions should not interfere with business.
3. Don’t rush to make a lot of forecasts. It's better to work through one match thoroughly.
4. Place bets only on a sober thinking head. Even Bad mood can play a cruel joke.
5. Don’t give up at the first loss. What is important is the long-term result - in a week, month or year. Only after analyzing it can we draw a conclusion about the success of the business.
6. If a player is limited in funds, then you should not increase bets, for example, after a loss. You need to determine the size of your bet and stick to it (from 2 to 4 percent).
7. Do not trust other people's forecasts unconditionally. Act according to the principle - trust, but verify.

Good luck to you! Start earning money right now.

As long as a person lives, he will be interested in ways to earn money and receive money, preferably without much labor and effort. How to win the lottery, hit the jackpot in a casino or how to make money on bets - this is what both young and old are interested in.

In this article, we will try to understand what justifies the desire for “easy money”, consider legal ways to earn money and real opportunities for obtaining funds.

Where does the desire to get easy money come from?

Perhaps there would be nothing to talk about here if our nation did not have the universal confidence that everyone can win or get rich. Let's remember our children's fairy tales. Entire generations grow up hearing stories about goldfish that grant all wishes, about fairy godmothers, and about the incredibly lucky Ivan the Fool.

A little later, growing up, we are faced with the harsher realities of life, which sound like this: if you don’t work, you won’t earn money. But still, the belief in miracles does not go away, and a person, until his death, firmly believes that one day a huge pile of money may fall on him for no reason at all.

Fraudsters actively take advantage of this, creating ever newer and more advanced deception mechanisms based on a person’s desire to get rich without doing anything. However, there are also completely legal ways (even at the state level) to increase your finances. This is such a popular game on Forex today, selling and buying securities, betting on various events. A very popular question today is whether it is possible to make money on sports betting.

The essence of any financial bet

Those who studied physics and mathematics probably remember classes devoted to probability theory. As you know, any event has two options for development in the future - it will either happen or not. Are you interested in how to make money on bets? The answer here is very simple - you will receive money if you correctly predict the outcome of a certain event. The lottery, roulette in a casino, all kinds of gambling, as well as games that require great intellectual abilities, such as making money by selling currency - this is all a game of “dice with the Universe,” as the famous scientist and physicist said, who told the world about the theory of probability.

on the sport?

Meanwhile, it should be noted that gambling is different. If when playing the lottery you guess the numbers purely intuitively, then when you bet on the occurrence of a certain event, you use your brain. This is called "fundamental analysis".

How to make money on bets Let’s say the country is expecting presidential elections. You know that there are two most likely candidates: A and B. Of course, you can bet blindly on one of them (which is what about sixty percent of people bet on this event do), but before that, you can think about it. For example, one of the candidates, say A, had the opportunity to raise the level of his pension before the elections, and did so. There are a lot of pensioners in your country, and for the most part they will support A. Also, this potential president developed the youth sports industry before the elections, therefore, a lot of young people will also support him. So you have done your analysis and conclude that A is more likely to win the presidential race. Do you think you have a chance of guessing? Of course, yes, and besides, you supported your assumption with such reasoning. But, you see, it may turn out that A was recently seen with his mistress, thereby undermining his authority, and most of countries will support B. You missed important point in assessing the facts and therefore did not guess.

This is precisely the answer to the question: “How to make money on bets?” With some knowledge, you make a guess about how the event will resolve and either win the outcome or not.

Is it possible to win when betting on sports?

It should be noted that for the most part bookmakers do not play political events, but sports. After all, there are football, hockey matches, basketball and tennis tournaments, horse racing every day... There is no more exciting activity than watching your favorite team compete with the opposing team - you worry, worry and, of course, with some degree of probability you can guess who will win. From the moment the first tournaments appeared, enterprising people immediately realized that they could receive tidy sums from gambling fans by promising them a monetary reward if they guessed the event correctly. And it would be completely logical to ask: “How to make money betting on sports?”

The algorithm is the same: you select an event (or several), for example, Soccer game between England and France. Do you know that in Lately The British masterfully beat all their opponents, but the French, on the contrary, are unlucky. And you bet on England to win. You can choose any outcome of such a victory: that England will win, that France will concede a certain number of goals, or you can even take a chance and guess the score of the game. If you guess correctly, you will get your money back with interest.

What is the probability of correctly guessing the outcome of the game?

If you are interested in how to make money betting on football, then it would be a good idea to watch the movie “Money for Two.” This film tells viewers about the work of a bookmaker's office, the owner of which is Al Pacino, and McConaughey is a former athlete who is very well versed in sports. Having watched the film to the end, you come to two conclusions. First, the office always wins, and this is precisely the essence of its work. The second verdict is this: the probability of correctly guessing the outcome is high if you are well versed in the subject matter of the events, but even virtuosos can only guess nine out of ten. That is why truly enterprising people make money not from bets, but from those who make them - gambling clients.

Who should make sports forecasts?

Of course, the greatest chance of correctly guessing the outcome of a particular match is among people who enthusiastically follow the games. If you know who the favorites are and who has been losing and losing points lately, if you follow player transfers, new contracts, coach appointments, then you will be able to conduct a qualitative fundamental analysis. There is no chance that you will guess ten out of ten events, but it is quite likely that those same nine are yours.

Is it worth betting on sports for those who are not interested at all? sports life and doesn't even know the names of the teams? Let's be honest, you have less chance of winning than passionate people. But you can use the odds that bookmakers give for the victory of a particular team as guidelines, and also very successfully predict the occurrence of events.

Where to place bets - on the Internet or in the office?

And so, you finally decided to place a bet. It should be noted that today there are many possibilities for this. For your convenience, bets are accepted online, but you can also walk to your nearest office and place your bets there.

If you are interested in how to make money betting on the Internet, then you need to take the following steps:

1. Select an online office. There are a lot of them, and the conditions for working with clients for most are very tempting. But the most important thing for you is that there are no problems with payments. So before you place a bet, read reviews on forums, talk to gamblers, find out who you can trust with your money and get it back if you win, with interest, of course.
2. Register on the site.
3. Study all sections carefully, read how the resource works. Many online bookmakers attract customers by offering various promotions.

How to make money betting on football

Each bookmaker provides gamblers with a sports line, which indicates upcoming games in all sports and the odds. As for the latter, this is a figure showing the attitude of the bookmaker to the probability of the outcome of events. For example, football team A has a coefficient of 1.2, that is, very small, and teams B have 6. What does this mean and who is it advisable to bet on? These numbers are interpreted as follows: the bookmaker believes that team A has a fairly high chance of winning. This is calculated from fundamental analysis, news, forecasts and general expectations. To find out how much you will win, multiply your bet by the odds.

By betting $10, if you win, you can take back $12, and the net gain is $2. The bookmaker very much doubts that team B will win, so he promises you that if he wins, he will multiply your bet by 6. Such a high odds indicate that the bookmaker is almost sure that team B will lose, otherwise why would he promise you $60 if delivered 10? But anything can happen in life, and you can bet on team B if you have some information that gives you a chance of winning.

Winning algorithm for guessing sporting events

To see from your own experience how to make money on sports betting, try different methods and variants of the game. Most experienced players recommend this plan of action to achieve success:

1. Select good match. In no case should this be a game of your favorite team, since in this case you will be biased and will not be able to soberly assess the chances of winning.
2. Place your bet on the team that the office gives lowest coefficient(on average, this value should not exceed 1.5). The lower the coefficient, the higher the chances of winning. For the second team, the bookmaker should give a very high odds, for example, its value should be around 3, but the higher, the better for you.
3. Don't place a bet if rule number two is not met, as you are at greater risk of losing.

This is very easy to explain logically. For example, there is a game between a clear favorite and a team that few people believe will win. The bookmaker offers you to predict the outcome of the match. But, since she is fairly confident that the favorite will win, she does not offer you big money if she wins. She will present a high odds to her opponent.

How much can you win by betting on sports?

The answer to this question depends on two components: how successfully you play and how much money you are willing to risk.

If you win often, but are afraid to bet large sums and place relatively low bets, then it is unlikely that the money received will be so serious that you can talk about it as serious earnings.

But by placing high bets even on teams with small odds, you can make a sufficient profit. For example, you have 5 thousand dollars in circulation. By betting this amount on a team's win with odds of 1.5, you will receive 7.5 thousand dollars, with a net profit of 2.5 thousand. If you lose, you will also lose your 5 thousand, which you should always remember.

Now that you know how to make money on bets, you can try your luck in this matter. Risk is a noble thing, and you may very well get lucky. Many serious players create their own system and even leave official work, relying only on chance and their own knowledge. Good luck!

The betting business is extremely simple and straightforward. However, before we begin to consider an interesting strategy, we will immediately make a reservation that we'll talk It’s about betting strategy, and not about opening a bookmaker’s office. However, if you have a large budget, then you can also open an office, but at this moment a little bit off topic.

Strategy concept

Thus, the proposed strategy is based on football, but it can be applied to other sports. It does not require large financial investments, and to check it, it is enough to have at least 10 dollars.

The concept (or basic idea) is to bet on the outcome of the favorite team scoring every time. In other words, we bet money on the favorite team scoring a goal. If she doesn't score, then we lose money, but the next bet should make up for the loss. The essence is extremely simple, but there are some nuances.

Team selection

Dozens of matches are played every day, so candidates who would score GOALS should be carefully selected. So, let’s look, for example, at a match between team 1 and team 2. Prerequisites selection are:

1. Team 1 must score at least 1 goal in seven of their last ten home matches;
2. Team 2 must concede at least 1 goal in seven of the last ten away matches;
3. The coefficient for the first team's GOAL must be 1.25 or more.

If the conditions are met, then you can safely bet on the first team’s GOAL. Thus, we bet on the team that is likely to score at least 1 goal.

Example strategy

Let's say we have a bank of $100 (a ridiculous amount for a betting business). We select a team that meets the requirements and bet 3% of our bank ($3) on it. If, say, we lose, we need to place a bet that would cover our loss. We have 97 dollars left in the bank, and from this amount we should bet 15 dollars, which will allow us to return the 3 that we lost. If the bet passes, we return to the outcome and bet 3% of the bank. If the bet does NOT pass (which is already unlikely), we have a third opportunity to win back by betting all the money in the bank, i.e. 82 dollars. 82*1.25 =102.5. Having returned the bank, we put 3% again and continue to play.

For each subsequent win, we must always bet 3% of the bank amount. Thus, each subsequent bet will increase, as, in fact, the bank itself.

You can place up to 10 bets per day, because the bookmaker awards money immediately after the team scores a goal. Total, within 3 days (30 bets) the profit from 100 dollars can be 124.2 dollars, which is 24.2 percent in 3 DAYS!

Of course, if the favorite team does not score at least 1 goal on its home field 3 times in a row, then your entire betting business will sink into oblivion, but what is the likelihood of such an outcome?
