Which sports are worth betting on?
On the Internet you can find many articles that tell you that you can win more on some sports than others. These conclusions usually suggest that it is better to focus on a particular sport more than on another, even if you are not good at it, which is quite absurd if you think about it more.
One rule: Only place bets on what you know
A professional player earns long-term returns from sports betting usually in similar amounts (of course, if he is more lucky, the winnings may be higher). In order for a professional player to win regularly, he must use his strategy, which he can gradually improve. This, in effect, makes sports betting closer to mathematical and statistical calculations than to happiness. But you need to know a lot of information from the sport world to get the right analysis.
It is clear that analyzes will vary depending on sport. We cannot look at a football match with the same eye, as well as a tennis match. Football matches depend on missing players, team statistics at home and on opponents, team game systems and many other aspects. So if a player specializes in football for a long time, you can’t tell him that betting on tennis matches is better if he doesn’t watch them at all.
It is very unlikely that you will win more money from a sport that you have little information about than a sport you regularly watch. It’s also easier to get information about your favorite sport. If you simply don’t like tennis, it is quite difficult to learn about it.
The end is simple: place bets only on the sports you are familiar with.
It would be ideal if you conducted some experiments to find out which kinds of bets would be most profitable for you. Also, of course, you have to consider the sport and the amount of the bet.
Individual or team sports?
We bet you think that placing live bets on team sports is more advantageous than on individual ones. First, the psychology of the group has a very strong influence on how the sporting event will develop. It is much harder to predict the behavior of an individual player.
In team sports, it may happen that one player has a bad day, but the team can hold him and his performance does not have to sign on his outcome. In individual sports these circumstances are completely different. Of course, if you have good information and know how to analyze a match you can predict surprises in tennis or other sports. In any case, we recommend avoiding small bets on individual sports because they are not very successful in the long run.
Live Betting
If you watch real-time matches and know the situation correctly, then you can improve your winnings by placing bets with a smaller stake (a smaller stake means less risk of losing money). You can also place bets when the odds are more attractive to you. Choose the moment when you can earn a significant return. For example, you can wait for your team / players to wait a little after the start of the match, because they may have a bad start, which in turn may significantly increase the odds and thus increase your visual win.
One of the main reasons why football bets reduce the risk is that bookmakers often make mistakes. Bookmakers are usually good at determining the right odds, but when it comes to football or American football, it is often difficult for them to determine the odds for winners and losers. That’s why sometimes odds at different bookmakers sometimes vary so much.
When it comes to football bets, you can be lucky to choose your favorite team, but you can also be lucky to choose the right bookmaker for the right offer.
What kind of bet?
What kind of bet or which sport to choose? A question that most players find it hard to find, because bookmakers offer us a huge number of options and combinations that are less or more attractive.
Logically, the most profitable bets include two outcome options (12, 1X or X2). It is statistically proven that if you choose one of options 1, 2 or X, the probability of losing is 66.7%. However, if you choose a bet with two outcome options, the probability of losing is reduced to 50%.
Professional tipsters recommend betting on the number of goals in a football or hockey game, the total number of points in basketball or volleyball, or the number of games in a tennis match. All these bets have a 50% probability of being successful.
Score Range Bets
These include, for example, that the difference in the score in a football match will be 2-3 goals or the basketball team will not lose more than 15 points; these bets fall into this category. Such types of betting are found in many sports and are very popular. They can also be profitable in the long run, especially when you find out which one fits you best. For example, a bookmaker could give an outsider a fairly attractive odds to convince players to bet on him. It may not be worthwhile to place a bet on his win, but if we expect to lose with honor, you can bet on a difference in score rather than a draw, depending on the sport of course.
WarrenBuffet said the famous message: “Don’t invest in something you don’t know.” Sports betting is also a kind of investment and if you don’t understand the reasons why and how to bet, you definitely shouldn’t. The key to success is always to find the perfect combination for you.
