What can you bet on besides sports? What's the best way to bet as a beginner? Step-by-step instruction

The first bookmakers, which arose in Great Britain at the end of the 19th century, accepted bets only on Horse Racing And greyhound racing. Subsequently, in the 20th century, the range of bets gradually increased; it was possible to enter into a bet with the office on football, tennis and many other sports. Not so long ago, many users were surprised that it was already possible to play as part of eSports, believing that this was something super creative. But in the 21st century, creativity has not stopped there; now you can bet not only on sports competitions.

Every large office employs a large staff of managers and analysts who are racking their brains on how to attract more people to their portal. larger number potential clients. They come up with various exclusive offers. And now the time has come when managers thought of inviting their clients to bet on political, cultural and entertainment events and programs. For example, there is such a section on the licensed website of BC Liga Stavok.

The bookmaker offers bets on the 2020 US presidential election, as well as whether North and South Korea will unite. For example, during the 2020 presidential election you can see this bet option.

The Betting League is essentially offering a long-term bet on whether a woman will run for president in 2020 from the Democratic Party. At the same time, both opposite options have fairly high odds: “yes” – 1.99, “no” – 1.98. Now let’s calculate what margin the bookmaker has set here:

(1/1.99) + (1/1.98) = 50.25 + 50.50 = 100.75

0.75% - this is the profit the Russian operator has set for itself, but this is very little. And if someone is not very interested in US politics, then many have heard about Hilary Clinton, who actively fought against Trump in the last elections. But Hilary represents democratic party. She will clearly participate in the next election campaign and the likelihood that she will represent her party is very high. Therefore, we can safely bet some amount of money on the “yes” option.

But you shouldn’t dwell on one policy, since it involves frankly long-term options; it’s better to pay attention to whole line other non-sports areas.

By the way, on our website there is a whole section dedicated to what people bet on besides sports. It’s called “Not a sport”. Interesting and, most importantly, working strategies in programs such as “What? Where? When? ", Oscar Awards and much more.

In general, it is worth noting that in Lately experienced bettors began to pay increased attention for bets of this type. For example, again in the BC Liga Stavok at the time of writing this article as part of the TV game “What? Where? When?" literally the following was proposed.

As part of this TV game, it is best to use the “Catch-up” tactic. You can see for yourself that here quite high odds are set for opposite options. And those who closely follow this program know that there is no protracted series of losses among the experts, so you can safely play according to the catch-up system on the victory of the experts.

But before you understand what you can bet on besides sports, you should understand why many experienced bettors decided to switch to this type of bet.

Why have many experienced bettors started betting on something other than sports?

Sports betting has a centuries-old history. The specialists and analysts of the offices know 100% how to analyze oppositions, how to set lines, having “trained” themselves over many years of activity. But non-sports betting is a little different; it requires a different approach. Office analysts have a different algorithm of work. The chances of winning are approximately equal. It is for this reason that many bookmakers within the framework do not sporting events they set a large margin of 10-12%, because they themselves have not fully understood everything and are reinsured with a large margin. And this is where experienced bettors have good opportunities.

The main thing here is to thoroughly understand everything and catch specialists in their mistakes, and they will 100% do so. Let's look at how to find these errors a little below.

What can you really bet on besides sports?

What non-sports program even slightly resembles sports? If you think carefully, the answer comes to a clear answer - KVN.

Professional players note that a large number of winning bets can be made within the framework of KVN at the stage of 1/8 and 1/4 finals, when many new teams from the lower leagues take part, capable of “shooting” well in the tower. In addition, experienced teams also maintain a high level. But you just need to carefully monitor the games themselves, especially the lower leagues, all this will subsequently allow you to do it realistically good rates. For example, pay attention to this screen from BC 1xBet.

Here we see how a fairly high odds are given for the leader’s victory – 1.80. Three more teams were given odds of 4.6. All this makes it possible to make cross bets by carefully studying the presented teams, choosing several really strong ones from them and placing a bet on two of them so that in any case there is a win. High odds really make it possible to do this.

Eurovision

This international European music tournament has recently attracted increased attention from bettors. One interesting strategy has even been developed within the framework of Eurovision; its essence will soon be revealed on our website in the “Not Sports” section. There will be a lot of interesting things in this article.

There is also a huge list of non-sporting events, we will definitely consider one of them, within the framework of which you can make a good bet.

Show business in Russia

Will Buzova get married again in 2018? Although the bookmaker does not offer the highest odds for the “no” option, it is quite promising.

Sometimes there are more attractive offers with even higher odds.

What is better not to bet on?

There is something exotic that, of course, you can bet on besides sports, but it’s better not to. We can safely say that the specialists of some companies have simply gone too far, offering to play on frankly incomprehensible events, the outcome of which may never occur. Many may ask: “How can this even be?” It turns out, maybe, like in this case.

One foreign bookmaker offers to bet on the end of the world in 2018 with odds of 493. But this is completely absurd. After all, if the bet wins, then the winner will definitely not care whether he won or not. Therefore in in this case It was possible to offer a coefficient of 1 billion. How do you like a bet of this nature?

When will it be proven that aliens exist, the bookmaker asks. It’s better not to play with such fantasy at all. Or here's another incomprehensible proposal.

Why even bet on such bets, where the outcome will be known only in 10 years, what’s the point?

Let's sum it up

Non-sports bets are divided into 4 categories:

• short-term perspective bets (maximum within 1 month);
• long-term forward rates(up to 1 year);
• too long-term (the result will be known in 10-20 years);
• too exotic (no point in playing).

It is best to play within the first designated category, or at least within the second; it is better not to go into the other categories at all, they are not promising.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that people make money from online bets at bookmakers. And most often it seems to users that they receive good profit players who know everything about sports (when, where and with whom different sports teams play), and also roughly assess the strengths of each, without missing a single match. But in reality, not everything is so linear. And great betters or privateers (bookmaker players) become people who are very vaguely familiar with the world of sporting events, and at the same time make stable money on bets. This article is dedicated to a specific sport, so we will consider the following questions as much as possible: how to bet on football, what types of bets there are (handicap, total, express, life bets and others), development of strategies and tips - all this will help you enter into a deal with a bookmaker who is prepared, and therefore an equal opponent in the fight for the money at stake.

Fast passage

Football betting strategies and types of bets

Many novice bettors place bets based on the general characteristics of the match, for example: they only bet on the team they think will win or the approximate number of goals. At the same time, they do not think much about the fact that they can raise the coefficient or minimize their risks thanks to the probability distribution. Actually, a well-thought-out football betting strategy is risk diversification. Let's start with the fact that bets are divided into single, express and system bets.

A single bet (single bet) is the most common type of transaction in bookmakers, when money is bet on one event with one outcome. An express bet is different in that the coupon contains various events with different outcomes, where overall coefficient is calculated by multiplying those included. This great way increase profits, but if you lose at least one bet, the remaining winning matches are not counted and the entire coupon will be a loss. Transactions in the system are considered the most thoughtful because general form coupon is express, but with safety net. This means that out of the total number of events, it can be noted that not everyone can play, and in the event of an unplayed bet, the coupon will still be winning. For example, the system is 2 out of 3, 4 out of 5, 6 out of 12, and so on. The coupon in the system works in such a way that a combination of events creates several express bets. For example, a two out of three coupon means that there are only 3 combinations and if 2 of them play, then the coupon will be a winning one, with a coefficient according to the positions won.

Basic strategies for betting on football: doubling, “ladder” and exact score in the system.

Doubling- This is a method of constantly increasing the transaction amount in case of loss. Thus, the winnings on the winning coupon, taking into account the funds already lost, subject to similar odds, will be approximately equal to the first played. "Ladder"- this is an all-in game at low odds in events without “surprises”. You need to play the “ladder” game with a pre-thought-out budget and reasonable profit. For example, 6 events in a row with a final profit of 50%. Correct Score Betting Strategy implies clear analysis selected teams, possible outcomes and play in the system. Not all bookmakers can allow betting on the same events with different outcomes, but the profit from such a plan can exceed all expectations. After all, 2 out of 12 trades can work in the system and the profit will still cover the loss.

What is a total in football betting and how to calculate totals correctly

In addition to the main well-known types of bets “Win ​​of the first team” (W1), “Win ​​of the second team” (W2), “Draw” (X), there are a huge number of other additional outcomes for the match. Every bookmaker has total bets. What is it and how to bet on totals correctly? In this case, total means limiting, that is, the number of goals scored that differ from a given indicator. The total can be more or less (TB and TM, respectively), as well as a decimal and an integer. The most popular total in football betting is considered to be 2.5. This means that with TM2.5, two goals will be scored in the match, one goal will be scored, or there will be no hits at all. TB2.5 means that there will be 3 goals inclusive.

Totals in sports can be set both for the entire match - total or general, and for teams - individual (from or until how many goals each team will score). Whole totals in football are an opportunity to return money for a bet if the number of goals matches the total. If TB3 is selected and the team scores 3 goals, then the bookmaker returns the money for the coupon to the player.

Totals can be not only for the number of goals scored, but also for corners, cards issued to players, goals scored per half, and so on. In real time (live betting) TB and TM are also used. At the same time, it’s convenient when the bookmaker immediately has the opportunity to collect coupons under the broadcast itself, without stopping from watching the game.

What is a handicap in football betting (handicap) and how to calculate it

A handicap in football, as in any other event, is created so that in this way the unequal strengths of opponents lead to common denominator. Now, more and more often, instead of the “handicap” indicator, bookmakers write “handicap”, which is an identifying value. In betting, a handicap helps when the odds for the victory of the clear leader of the match are too small. To earn more money on a selected match, handicaps are used: negative, positive and zero. Also, a separate handicap can be a whole or half value (decimal, not a whole, for example - 1.45).

A negative handicap is placed on the match leaders when there is confidence that the goal gap will be impressive. For example, the odds for a handicap of -1.5 will play out if the difference in the score is more than 2 goals. That is, the bet will win if the score is 2:0, 3:0, 3:1 and so on. If the team that was handicapped at -1.5 wins the match by 1 goal, then the coupon is considered a loser.

There is also a positive handicap in football. It is calculated when betting on a team that is prone to losing, but still has a chance of winning. In case of loss, a handicap will be able to equalize the forces and prevent the privateer from completely losing due to the main outcome of the bet. For example, the second team is given a handicap of 2.5 and will enter if the team wins, draws, or loses by a maximum goal difference of 2. In the event of a loss by a margin of 3 or more goals, the coupon will be considered a loser.

If there are no special preferences, that is, the opponents’ forces are approximately equal, it makes sense to use a zero handicap F0. The coupon will be valid if the team wins with any score. And if the match ends in a draw, then the money will be returned to the handicapper’s balance.

Live betting on football

What's happened live betting, advantages and disadvantages of such? Live betting is an opportunity to place bets already during the game, that is, in the online broadcasts. Perhaps not all transactions are available for the coupon, but the remaining odds change in real time and allow you to immediately bet on small outcomes during the game or to hedge your bets in case of a risky pre-start entry. The disadvantage of life is a possible violation of confidence in the right choice before the start of a sporting event.

Match forecasts from professionals and free

Many novice bettors are looking for ready-made forecasts for football matches, believing that the opinions of others will become with a magic wand. Moreover, players are looking for free football forecasts, but from professionals, in places where they do not live. First of all, every player must understand that any information regarding the outcomes of future matches is distributed for information and analysis only. Using a forecast for a specific match, you can or make sure own opinion or notice a nuance that was not previously noticed for inclusion in analytics. Most often, right on the bookmaker’s website there is a separate column “News” or “Forecasts”, which describes upcoming events and probable outcomes.

Regarding paid forecasts “from professionals,” I would like to warn players that the majority of users providing “ accurate forecasts for a match" for money are nothing more than scammers hiding behind insider information. Insider in football means knowledge about agreements in friendly or purchased matches. Don’t take unnecessary risks, because no one will sell such information for a couple of hundred or thousand rubles.

Additionally, each bookmaker still has its own odds line, but they show as verbatim as possible what each indicator means. For example: “Home win”, “Both will score”, “Dry victory”, “When the first goal is scored”, “Number of corners” and so on. Such opportunities should not be ignored, because the odds on them sometimes simply knock you down, even when the winnings for the main outcome are quite small.

After all these formalities that had to be followed in order to fully understand the possibilities of making money on sports betting, now let’s take a quick look at how to bet on football. To do this, we will create a coupon in the system by selecting best opportunities from match outcomes, with minimal risks and not very low odds. Our choice fell on Manchester United against Bournemouth, as well as Watford - Southampton and Leicester City - Hull City. And here, without a doubt, in the first match, all famous bookmakers will set odds, according to the theory of probability, that is, the victory of Manchester. Which is what we will actually use.

At the moment, the odds for Manchester to win are 1.27, with a clear predominance of such forces. You shouldn't count too much on Bournemud. In the bookmaker’s account, select the desired match and click on it to fully open all the bookmaker’s offers. The coupon is automatically generated when you click on the odds and is usually displayed in the upper right corner. Our example is the official licensed bookmaker Winline, which allows you to make not only singles and express bets, but also build a system using different strategies.

Please note that in the bookmaker’s system you can place only one bet on one match per coupon. Having analyzed many odds with greater confidence that the leader will win, we decide on a bet – Handicap -1.75 on Manchester. That is, the deal will work in our favor if Manchester United scores 2 more goals in the match than Bornmud, which is quite realistic. Thus we turn 1.27 into 1.94. When the first bet hits the coupon, it immediately displays the amount field, which can be selected from the list provided, or entered manually.

We move on to the second and third matches and also analyze the situation, choosing the best bets from the entire event.

We enter the coupon amount and get a 2 out of 3 system, where after two events have been played we will already be in profit.

1) Not knowing general history work sports teams, the outcome of sports betting will be purely random. Then making money on bets will become just a game in a casino, where you can win, but then lose everything again. Therefore, study statistics! At least the teams in the matches you intend to bet on.

2) Know how to analyze! Search Additional information! Don’t think that games in which a team suddenly wins or for some reason suddenly loses are just a miracle. This is wrong. Most often, such an event is preceded by news from the world of sports, where, for example, a football player (the most powerful attacker of the team) has fallen ill, or the team composition for the current event is completely inexperienced, and so on. Don't just get information, but learn to apply it in practice.

3) A lot also depends on the bookmaker, especially when you play live bets. Let us not once again remind you of those bookmakers who generally provide services in bad faith. Now we are talking only about legal bookmakers. So, when you need to place a bet right now, it will be completely unpleasant when the site freezes or the coupon is accepted at the wrong time, and simply changing the odds every second can be very annoying. Bottom line: choose an official bookmaker with a convenient structure, clear interface, fast website and high performance with a minimum commission.

4) Do not be afraid of large odds - this is not an accurate indicator. It often happens that the leader of the match loses to a secondary team, on which the odds were more than 40. And those who really analyzed, studied and weighed the chances were able to really make money on bets, and even on the most basic one - on the victory of one of them.

5) When creating coupons, insure yourself if you are not sure of the outcome. The rates in different coupons may seem contradictory, but in this way they will help, at a minimum, save your funds, and more often than not, increase them. Happy betting and decent profits!

Virtual football: everything online

Feature recent years bookmakers began accepting bets on virtual football. But do not confuse the categories “virtual sports” and “e-sports” - between them a big difference. Virtual sports are based on a simulated game, meaning the entire match, which lasts only a few minutes, runs on a computer algorithm. And eSports is a game real people in computer games at championships.

There are 16 teams in the VFL championship, that is, 8 games on the tour. 30 rounds in a season take up to 2.5 hours and a new league begins immediately. Betting in the VFL is not so rich in variety, but it does provide an opportunity to quickly “work out the season.” Before your first bet, you need to carefully study the statistics, watching several seasons yourself in order to choose favorites at your discretion. Concluding transactions with bookmakers on VFL approximately looks like this:

• main – victory of one of the teams;
• handicap on favoritia;
• totals for the match;
• accurate count.

Sports betting: where to start

Before you place your first bet, you should know what they are.

Single bet

The peculiarity of this bet is that it attempts to predict only one outcome of the event. The winnings are calculated using the formula of multiplying the amount of money and the bet odds. For example, you bet 1000 rubles at odds of 2.20, which means your winnings on the bet will be 2200 rubles (1000*2.20), the net winnings will be 1200 rubles (2200-1000 i.e. minus the bet amount).

Express bets

Placed on several events at once. An important condition victory is the winning of all designated events in the accumulator. In other words, a positive outcome can be: a refund or a win. However, playing for several events at the same time also has its downside. If at least one event does not justify the forecast, the entire bet is considered a failure. The margin on an express bet is calculated as the product of the amount of bets and the odds of all outcomes.

System

A combination of several express trains. This is a kind of enumeration of several options for express bets with a fixed set of outcomes. The number of outcomes and the amount of bets for each express bet are the same. Profit in the system is calculated as the sum of the express winnings that are included in the system. Read more about the system.

The most popular types of bets are bets on outcomes (1X2) and bets on total. There are also bets on painting ( additional bets) - who will score first, how many substitutions, yellow or red cards there will be in the match, etc. . Total bets allow you to predict a smaller or larger number of goals, pucks, balls, etc. scored.

How do professionals bet on sports?

To understand how to do lucky bets in sports, a beginner should follow simple rules:

1. Always check how to bet on a specific sporting event. Explain to yourself all the unclear points, and only then place your bets. Different bookmakers have different rules and commission sizes.
2. Play with small amounts at first. There is always a risk that you may confuse or misunderstand something.

4. Determine for yourself the specific size of your bank. You will always know how much you are willing to spend, what rates will suit you, and when you should stop to avoid bankruptcy.
5. Play exclusively at reliable bookmakers. The richer and larger the company, the more it values ​​its reputation. Feedback from visitors is also important.
6. Don't put all your money on one bet. The outcome of any match may be unfavorable for you.
7. Always know how to stop, even if you are lucky today.
8. Be sure to keep an eye on the odds line. A rise or a sharp collapse is never accidental. Follow sports news. Remember that analysis is very important. Before you bet on a specific team, ask about its previous successes, the number of injured players, and the presence of yellow cards.

Sports betting can bring quite a solid and constant income.

This type of income does not require significant investments from you. But to turn the game into a serious source of income, you also need to take it seriously. To do this, just familiarize yourself with several features and learn a couple of rules. And of course – time and desire.

Even if you have no experience, sports betting is easy to learn. Let's figure out what to do first, what to give up, and ultimately turn it all into income.

Three rules for starting

The first thing to understand is that you can’t just guess here. You might get lucky a couple of times, but it definitely won’t bring you any money. In the process of mastering the features of betting, you will develop your own strategy. To do this, of course, you will need to develop skills, learn to analyze and follow the world of sports. But before talking about all this, it is worth considering three main parameters.

• Select the right company. Right choice The bookmaker will not guarantee your success, but will provide security, guarantee payouts and offer the best that is on the market. Be interested in young companies. Very often, new bookmakers offer better services, better odds, because they are fighting for a place in the market. Over time, you can create accounts on several Internet sites. Pay attention to whether there are restrictions or blockages.
• Learn to work with money. Financial management is not only smart words, but also something that will help you become successful in your endeavor. Poor handling of money is worse than no money at all.
• The right attitude. If your goal is regular profit, you should always remain calm and cool-headed as much as possible. A series of losses or, on the contrary, victories can throw you off balance and force you to make mistakes.

There are many success stories of other players online. Of course, not all of them are true, and not all of them can be useful. But such stories should not be neglected. Start mastering the most popular bets first, such as betting on football. Learn from other people's mistakes and learn from other people's experiences.

What earnings should you expect at the beginning?

Everyone who takes on forecasting and betting at the very beginning asks the question: “how much can I really earn?” If we don’t talk about random victories and huge risks, at first the amount will be about 10% of your monthly investment. This is a very decent indicator for a start. You can earn more, but at the expense of greater risks, up to the complete drain of the bank.

Stable earnings with minimal losses are possible only if you adhere to rational thinking and approach forecasts with full responsibility.

Sports betting can be considered a fairly risky financial investment. But these investments definitely bring more profit than a deposit or other offers from banks. But, by the way, risk is inherent in all operations that are in one way or another connected with money.

To turn “play into work” you need to treat it as such. If you are new to this business, it would be a good idea to repeat the main axioms associated with betting:

• Play only with the money you actually have;
• Don't borrow money to play;
• Do not play with family money, which is also not for betting;
• Don't start until you have enough money;
• An amount that will cover more than 49 bets can be called sufficient.

If you start having thoughts about breaking one of these rules, then this type of income is not suitable for you. As for a small bank, it is also undesirable. The cash desk should allow you to place strategic bets.

If your knowledge of sports is not strong, it is best to start mastering football betting. Professionals note that tennis can be the most profitable. And again, if you don’t understand the game well, it’s better not to take risks at first.

Some people become so good at this that they replace their profession with gaming. They analyze sporting events and know the mathematical intricacies of betting. But first, let’s figure out where to start so that betting brings regular income.

A few important points for beginners

If betting is "uncharted territory" for you, take the time to familiarize yourself with the following basic steps for working at a bookmaker:

• Read the company rules. Make sure you understand everything it says. Explore what is unknown to you;
• Register on the platform and create an electronic wallet on one of the services;
• Top up your bank account at the bookmaker;
• Check out the proposed events and place your bet.

There is nothing difficult about placing a bet. The main thing is to be vigilant. To protect yourself, do not store very large amounts in the “bank”, withdraw funds regularly, and save electronic coupons, even if they are losing ones.

Basic principles of bookmakers

Bookmakers offer a huge number of sporting events every day. The player has absolute freedom in choosing the offers on which he will place a bet. Theoretically, you should make your choice only when you are almost completely sure of the result. But more often than not, players don't study their bet well enough and actually make it without thinking it through. It turns out that such a player is only an amateur who is testing his luck, nothing more.

Of course, you can do this too. But if your goal is to make betting a source of regular income, this approach is not suitable. You need to play with a certain strategy, and not just try your luck.

First of all, it’s worth understanding how bookmakers work. They act as intermediaries who calculate a certain percentage, giving you the opportunity to bet on sports. This fee is called margin. It affects the probability of the outcome as a percentage. It fluctuates within 5%.

Also, the office can make a profit by adjusting the coefficient. In this case, it is based on financial flows and public opinion. That is, professionals understand which event will be more interesting than others, and accordingly they will place more bets on it. In order not to lose income, the odds for this event or a specific outcome will be lowered.

Football: is it so easy to bet on it?

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world. It’s not surprising that almost everyone, when coming to a bookmaker’s office for the first time, makes the first football betting. Many players stop at it.

No wonder. Anyone who claims to be a football fan considers himself knowledgeable about the game. Such players assume that they have enough knowledge to analyze and predict the outcome of matches. Demand makes football the most popular among bookmakers.

Even if it seems to you that you know everything about football and have statistics, this does not guarantee success in betting.

Sports betting is not profitable if it is based on intuition. Sometimes you need to make mistakes enough times to gain the necessary experience. In addition, in football there are many external factors that can influence the outcome of the game. These include refereeing errors and own goals.

But by adhering to a few fairly simple principles, you can make effective bets on this sport.

• Don't choose the most popular matches. Most often, central and final matches have odds calculated to the nearest hundredth;
• Stop betting on your favorite team. Your emotions will not allow you to evaluate the chances qualitatively;
• Choose one or a couple of leagues that you know best;
• Keep an eye on the odds. They change frequently, so try to place your bet at the best time.
• Control your emotions.

What do online bookmakers offer us?

Bookmakers strive to offer customers the best, so they are actively developing everything related to the Internet. The majority resort to bookmaker services through the network. This has both a significant amount positive aspects, and several less pleasant factors. Bookmakers provide a lot useful information, on which you can base your decisions. But at the same time, the bookmaker has the opportunity to set its own conditions, for example, odds.

In addition, do not forget that the company employs professionals, and they use powerful programs and scientific formulas. Bookmakers are designed in such a way that regardless of whether your sports bets work or not, the company still makes money.

But this does not mean that in this case you have nothing to do on the platform. It’s worth studying a little, developing certain tactics, taking an interest in sports and not bypassing programs that can help with all this.

• Modern technologies will make it easier for you to:
• Calculating the size of bets;
• Understand the odds and determine the best ones;
• Process information about bets and create statistics on them.

Of course, first you have to figure out how the programs themselves work, and what to do with what they can offer you.

What gaming strategies exist and how to use them

Sports betting has existed since ancient times. Therefore, to start making money on bets, you don’t need to “reinvent the wheel”. It is enough to familiarize yourself with the basic, to begin with, the simplest strategies. Having studied one of them, you will not win all the time, but it will definitely increase your chances of winning and reduce risks.

There are many similar schemes, but they are all divided into two categories: gaming and financial. The most common ones are the ones to start with. Among the games there are three main ones:

• Value Betting
• Arbitrage betting;
• Dogon.

All of them are actually based on mathematical calculations. But it’s not worth studying them so thoroughly; the main thing is to understand the basic principle.

Value Betting– this is when bookmakers underestimate some event, and the player bets on it. The essence of the method is to bet on an event that no one expects, but which will happen sooner or later. For example, choosing one of the strongest football clubs, bet on its defeat. The coefficient in this case will be very high; accordingly, the amount of winnings will be many times greater than if you always bet on the victory of the obviously best player. After all, you must admit, there is no club that wins all the time.

Arbitrage bets or bookmaker's fork- This is a bet on all possible results of the same competitions in different offices. This is a kind of game on the differences in odds and this strategy can only be applied if companies offer different odds indicators. In modern realities, bookmakers take this possibility into account and offer almost same numbers. In addition, some bookmakers stipulate in the rules a ban on arbitrage bets, and can block the player’s bank.

"Dogon". The essence of the method is to bet on one event, constantly raising the bet amount after each loss, until the actual event occurs. Thus, last bid, which still plays, must cover all previous expenses. There is a fairly high risk that your bank will run out before the predicted event occurs.

Less risky pre-match analysis strategies are more suitable for beginners. With their help, they most often place bets on football or regular championships, where it is easy to track the results and trends of a particular team.

Among financial strategies It is worth mentioning the Martingale strategy and the Kelly criterion. But it’s better to get acquainted with them after mastering more simple methods. It’s worth starting with “flat”. A player's bets over a long period of time of a certain identical amount are called “flat”. This strategy can be called the most profitable and reliable.

Many players who come to a bookmaker's office are not so interested in winning as in guessing the result. This strategy does not generate income. To make money on bets, you should think about long-term profits and work with odds correctly. Professionals often bet on inflated bookmaker odds and end up in the black.

What's the result?

Today, sports betting can really bring in regular income, and even become a full-fledged business. Also, for most bookmaker clients this remains entertainment or a hobby. But more than one person has proven that you can make good money from your hobbies.

The network now offers a lot of material on these topics. Learning some of them will be useful for a beginner. But you need to be quite careful with sources because many do not contain any useful information.

Of course, win-win strategy does not exist, since all companies would then have gone bankrupt long ago. But if you still decide to take sports betting seriously, it is quite possible. Follow the basic rules described above and good luck in this interesting and profitable business.

Hi all! Today we'll talk about where is the best place to bet? for beginners. I am sure this question worries many new players who are at the very beginning of their journey. But, before proceeding to read this article, and even more so before placing a bet at a bookmaker’s office, I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the bets that we discussed in previous articles.

But if you are already familiar with the rules and the line, what it means, how the coefficient is formed, then you can safely proceed to reading this article and choose a bookmaker according to your taste and color. I will share my experience of playing in various offices, tell you what I liked most about them, and what, frankly speaking, disappointed me.

Legal bookmakers in Russia

In 2016, the world of gambling business changed somewhat and began to work according to a completely different principle. Some bookmakers operating on the territory of the Russian Federation have legally received the status of legal. What does legal bookmaker mean?

Legal bookmakers conduct all their financial transactions through a specialized Accounting Center that monitors translations of interactive sites. This means that every sports betting office will now pay a tax in the amount of 13% of players’ winnings.

In addition, at the legislative level, legal bookmakers are required to create a special Compensation Fund, which, in the event of suspension of the bookmaker’s work, will allow the operator to pay all debts to the players.

It is not yet clear how exactly the tax will be paid, but there is every reason to believe that each winning bet will not be subject to taxation, but only for a certain period of time the tax will be paid (positive balance). This period of time will be a quarter, a month.

Our list today will include various bookmakers

Where is the best place to place bets: the best bookmakers for a beginner

Leonbets

And so, where is it better to place bets for beginners? The gambling business is thriving, and therefore competition is increasing. Until recently, Leonbets was not particularly pleased with its wide line of bets, but over the past few months, the company’s employees have done a lot of work. New betting options for Live events have been introduced; players now have the opportunity to place bets on their favorite events using and.

Let's immediately note best sides offices:

• Instant withdrawal of funds ( large sums removed within 30-60 minutes)
• Possibility of live betting (the office accepts bets on various sporting events around the clock).
• Responsive support service (answers quickly and clearly). More recently, Live Chat has appeared, which allows you to conduct a dialogue with an operator in real time, without waiting for an answer by email.
• Fast bet calculation
• High Highs

All these advantages make BC Leonbets one of the most popular betting sites. But it’s still worth saying that the role of a bookmaker for this company is not strong point. Still, today there are bookmakers that offer a wider line (the presence of various individual totals, handicaps, bets on corners and cards, etc.).

If you are wondering: which bookmaker to choose, then Leonbets will definitely suit you, since this office has not noticed a single fact of violation or disdainful attitude towards players. Everything is honest and to the point.

But fans of poker and blackjack will get more from this company, since BC Leonbets has a huge number of different poker rooms and halls that operate in Live mode. That is, you see an operator who acts as a dealer and play your favorite card game along with other players. This is very interesting, it’s a pity that I didn’t succeed as a poker player (sad smile).

Many ways to deposit, fast payouts, all the main events for betting are available. What else does a capper need to succeed?

1xBet

Another representative of the legal gambling business in the Russian Federation. 1XBet has been in the sports betting market since 2011. The company has already won most fans and continues to develop. 1XBet does everything possible to ensure that the player receives only pleasure from visiting their company’s website. Therefore, on the 1XBET website, the player is faced with an attractive and intuitive design, many various categories for bets.

The bookmaker offers the player a deal on various e-sports events; in general, fans of computer games will find a lot of interesting things here. You can bet on CS:GO, Dota 2, LOL and other popular online games. In general, 1XBet offers the player many different categories and a huge amount of room for maneuver.

Main advantages of 1XBet:

• Extensive betting market
• Availability of an eSports line for various online games
• Fast withdrawal of funds, work with all popular payment systems
• Attractive bonus programs

What I like about this bookmaker is its bonus programs. For example, a program such as “Express of the Day” increases the size of the express you win by as much as 10%. Agree, a nice bonus. You can also place bets in this office using a special Telegram application, communicate with friends and share opinions about various sporting events.

Also, the website directly provides the opportunity to watch the most significant matches in real time. It is also very convenient; you can make a deal and view the game directly on the bookmaker’s website. But, despite all the advantages, for a beginner who does not know where to place bets, this bookmaker is not the most suitable in the best possible way. A wide variety of lines, including bets on eSports matches and the like, often siphons all the money out of a beginner player.

William Hill

Even now it is already the case that players who do not know which bookmaker to choose for betting are immediately recommended William Hill. And, probably, it’s not in vain that they do this, because William Hill is the oldest representative of the gaming industry in the world. In general, it is difficult to say how many years this bookmaker has existed and it is difficult on a universal scale to assess the level of significance of this office for betting and to measure the prestige of this bookmaker, perhaps, it is not possible.

In general, the company was formed back in 1934 in the UK, and in 1998 it first announced itself on the World Wide Web in 1998. It is clear that William Hill is not one of the legal bookmakers on the territory of the Russian Federation, and there is no representative office of the company in Russia. The entire process of working with the office is possible exclusively via the Internet. Therefore, the only difficulty that players from Russia face when trying to register with a bookmaker is the blocking of the office address by the provider. But, as you understand, this matter is fixable and not so terrible.

On the company's website for fans gambling there is everything - cards, bingo, sports betting, various slot machines And so on. This is a huge entertainment center for gambling lovers and a powerful tool for making money for real professionals. William Hill has an excellent reputation; this bookmaker does not have any fraud or bias towards players from any countries.

Yes, don’t be afraid, the site is fully available in Russian with all functionality also in Russian. Moreover, the site employs Russian-speaking operators who quickly answer all customer questions.

Key advantages of William Hill:

• Support for a huge number of currencies. You can open an account even in Tugriks
• Extensive live betting, rich line
• Work with the most popular payment systems. You can withdraw and top up your account using Webmoney, Yandex Money, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Qiwi and other systems.
• Availability of poker rooms and gambling halls for gambling enthusiasts
• Fast bet calculation
• High Highs
