What to bet on to win. Where is the best place to bet for beginners?

An experienced player seems pretty a simple matter make a bet at bookmakers: come to the booth, ask the cashier for a line, choose a bet (if bets are made through online offices, then the algorithm is about the same, only everything is on a computer and you don’t need to ask for a line, just click on it on the site) , which you liked - and forward, to the embrasures, in the hope of winning something! Everything looks so elementary that it is not even worth explaining. But believe me, it's not. My playing experience is 9 years. And I'm still learning and learning, there are so many nuances in sports betting. I will try to explain the initial steps as clearly as possible so that you can become a successful bettor in bookmakers.

How to bet on sports?

So, let's start. First of all, I have to explain the theory of rates to you, so most of the article will be devoted to it. Get ready, now I will be the main betting terms and their decoding with examples and remarks.

General terms

Line- a list of events and their outcomes with odds offered by the bookmaker for bets.
Bid- the money that the player puts on the game and loses when he loses, as well as the totality of the choices that the player combined by betting a certain amount on them.
Exodus- the result of a sporting event, to which the bookmaker has assigned a winning coefficient. I think these terms are clear, and there is no need to explain anything.

Types of bets

Single - a bet on 1 outcome of an event. The win on a single bet is equal to the product of the bet amount and the odds.

Example 1: single bet

Team 1	Team 2	Win 1	Draw X	Victory 2
Spartacus	Dynamo	2.0	3.2	4.3

Let's say you made a bet of 100 rubles on the victory of Spartak. The coefficient of winning on bets on the victory of Spartak is 2.0. The payout when Spartak wins will be 100 x 2.0 = 200. Net winnings: 200 (payout) - 100 (bet) = 100 rubles.

Express- a bet on several events. To win on an accumulator, all events in the accumulator must not lose (that is, either a win or a return). If at least one event loses, then this entails the loss of the entire bet. The accumulator win is equal to the product of the bet amount and the odds of all outcomes included in the accumulator bet.

Example 2: express

Let's say you made a bet of 100 rubles on an accumulator consisting of three outcomes: Spartak's victory, Shakhtar's victory, Arsenal's victory. The coefficients of winnings for the outcomes included in the accumulator are multiplied: 2.0 x 1.8 x 3.3=11.88. The payout, if all selected outcomes are successful, will be: 100 x 11.88=1188 rubles, including net winnings (minus the bet amount): 1088 rubles.

System- a set of accumulator bets, which is a complete enumeration of bet options of the same size from a fixed set of outcomes. The bet amount for each accumulator bet (system variant) is the same and the number of outcomes in each express bet is the same. The winnings for the system are equal to the sum of winnings for express bets included in the system.

Example 3: system

Consider the matches from the previous example. If we take the same outcomes, but put them in a system, then we get a system of 3 by 2 (it cannot be from 3 by 1, because the bet on 1 event is a single, not an express bet). Thus, we will have 3 accumulators with 2 positions in each. Do not forget that the amount of the bet is evenly distributed on all accumulators, that is, with a bet of 100 rubles, we will have 3 accumulators, for each of which 33.33 rubles are bet. I think that you have already caught the difference between express and system. It is enough to play 2 events, and we will already get some kind of winnings (it would be impossible in the accumulator). But if all the events of the system win, then we will get less than we would put them in the accumulator.

If we go to specific numbers, then in case of winning on all 3 positions at a bet of 100 rubles per system, we will get: (2.0 * 1.8 + 2.0 * 3.3 + 1.8 * 3.3) * 33 ,33 = 537.95 rubles. I think you perfectly see and understand what all these numbers mean in this equation. The gain in the case of the passage of 2 events of the system is also clearly visible.

I hope that everything is clear here too and you already know a little how to bet at bookmakers. At first, I recommend playing singles and small express trains, with experience, decide for yourself how it is more profitable for you to bet!

The main selections of outcomes for bets and their designation in the line of bookmakers

• 1 - victory of the first team.
• X- this symbol at bookmakers denotes a draw.
• 2 - victory of the second team.
• 1X- victory of the first team or a draw. To win on such
  The wager needs to be for Team 1 to win or for a draw to occur.
• 12 - the victory of the first team or the victory of the second team. To this
  the bet has played, there should not be a draw in the match.
• x2– see 1X, applies to the 2nd team.

I think that it is obvious and clear here how to bet on sports. Moreover, these elections are the main ones and are exhibited in all sports (it can be called differently, for example, in auto racing they ask “Who is higher”, but the essence does not change).

Now let's move on to betting on outcomes that are very relevant and popular in all sports. By betting on these selections, you get the opportunity to diversify the range of events for the game and vary your tactics in betting, but of course, you will do all this after you learn how to bet in bookmakers.

The victory of the participant of the competition, taking into account the handicap. In the line it looks like this: "Handicap 1 => odds 1".
With this term it is better to immediately give an example. So, you open the line and see the match Spartak - Amkar. The handicap for this match will be set as follows: handicap 1 (-1.5) 1.8 and handicap 2 (+1.5) 1.9. What do these odds mean? Handicap 1 will only apply to the goals of the 1st team (respectively, Spartak), and handicap 2 applies only to the goals of Amkar. Let's understand now what it means. If you take Amkar's handicap +1.5, then you bet that this team will lose a maximum of 1 goal, draw or win. To the final result of Amkar's goals, you add the handicap value. Let's say the match score is 2:1. By adding the handicap, we get 2:2.5, that is, the victory of Amkar. I think you understand what I mean. If you bet on the negative handicap of Spartak, you would be satisfied with the score 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, etc., the difference is at least 2 goals.
If there is a “half” in the handicap, then this means that there is no way to get a return on the bet, fans of caution may not be upset, you can buy a handicap for all sports (in some cases even sell), which leads to a decrease in the odds, but it increases confidence in pass bet.

By the way, almost all those who like to bet in bookmakers use the opportunity to buy a head start, because in sports such as basketball and volleyball, this “half” can decide a lot. But there are cases and vice versa, when playing with a handicap leads to an increase in the coefficient.

Let's take the same match between Spartak and Amkar. Most players will agree that Spartak's victory looks like the best bet for this match. Only here the coefficient for this outcome is very small, in the region of 1.3-1.35. This is where the handicap comes in handy. After all, if you bet with a handicap (-1.5) on Spartak, then the coefficient increases to 1.8. You can also play it safe by taking a handicap (-1), even a victory of 1 ball will lead to a return. I hope you understand what a handicap is and how to use it.

Over, under, exactly (bets on total)

Total in football- the number of goals in a match, the total in hockey - the number of goals scored, the total in tennis - the number of games played, etc. I think you understand what total is. Let's move on to an example, so that you can better understand what kind of beast this is, the bookmaker's total.

Example: betting on total

Let's say that the office has set the total of a football match (the amount of goals scored) equal to "3", and it is proposed to place bets on the total on two outcomes: over or under this total.

• if less than 3 goals are scored in the match (0:0, 1:1, etc.), bets on less than "3" win, on more they lose;
• if more than 3 goals are scored in the match (3:1, 2:2, etc.), bets on less than "3" lose, on more than "3" win;
• if exactly 3 goals are scored in the match (2:1, 3:0, etc.), all bets on over "3" and on under "3" will be assigned odds of "1".

Now a few words about what to do with this very total and how to bet on it in bookmakers. Let's say two equal teams play, which preach a closed style of play. If they are equal, then betting on someone else's victory is risky. Since they both prefer to defend, the match promises to be of little result. This is where we use , having played in this match a bet under 2.5. With experience, you will learn how to use bets on total and handicap to the fullest.

This is all the main types of outcomes for bets. Everything else can be called differently, but the principle is based precisely on these concepts. Hope you got it all. Now I want to give you a couple of tips from personal experience about how to place bets at bookmakers.

First, never hesitate to ask how to bet on sports if you don't understand something. You came to the “booth” (the slang name for the cash desks of bookmakers) or play via the Internet, first clarify and explain all the points for yourself, and only then bet. In the "booth" you can ask the cashier or one of the players, and when playing through the World Wide Web, be sure to look at the rules of the office, otherwise they may differ for different bookmakers. And it's significant.

Be sure to play in small amounts at first, because you may not fully understand something, confuse it, etc. Do not chase the odds, you need to have a big “fart-ass” (as lucky privateers are called) in order to fire (that is, play) a “footcloth” (express train with a large number of events) with a good odds.

Try to "monitor" (follow) the line, a sharp collapse or rise in coefficients is usually not accidental. Use your head and your knowledge, because you risk your money when you place bets at bookmakers. In order for your head to work better, read more literature on how to bet in bookmakers and the latest news about what is happening in the world of sports.

And finally, the advice that was once given to me when I did not yet know how to bet on sports and only tried to bet (the instruction was given by a person who ate a dog at betting in bookmakers). I was advised to do the following: take a certain amount that was not a pity to lose (for me it was 500 rubles) and put it aside. Within a month, take no more than 10 percent of what you have set aside (that is, the winnings add up there) and put an ordinary or an express train of 2-3 events for this amount (such express trains are called a double and a tee, respectively). Now, if after a month the initial amount was at least doubled, then you can continue to bet, there is some kind of talent. If the gain was, but not double, then you can go to the bookmaker's office to place a bet, but on holidays. And if you are a loser, then betting is not for you or you need to continue learning how to bet in bookmakers! You decide! Good luck!

Many have heard about the possibility of earning money by betting on sports games. Bookmakers offer to bet on one or another outcome of the match and, in case of victory, pay out the winnings. Its amount will depend on your initial bet, the probability coefficient of the selected outcome of the event and the margin - the percentage of the transaction that the bookmaker takes for himself.

How do bookmakers work?

Successful betting begins with the choice of bookmakers. It can be:

• teaching staff- betting shops, which can be found in any city in the country;
• Online offices– their services can be used remotely.

The latter are currently gaining popularity, and the former are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Bookmakers do not invest their own money, but exist at the expense of the profit received from each bet made with them - regardless of whether the bettor wins or loses.

Advice: in order to correctly bet on sports games, you need to focus on the offers of bookmakers and choose from them those that, on the one hand, will be profitable, and on the other, winning. Another way to earn money is to take part in.

To determine which of the offers of bookmakers are profitable and which are not, you need to learn the principle of operation of such offices and get acquainted with the concepts of the probability coefficient and margin. All events, on the outcome of which betters are invited to bet, are analyzed by the specialists of the office. They estimate the probability of a particular result, which is expressed in a numerical coefficient. The amount of possible winnings depends on how high or low it will be.

For example, consider an event with two equally likely outcomes: a football match between teams of equal strength (assuming they cannot draw). The probability that the first or second team will win: 50%, or 0.5. Then the probability coefficient can be mathematically calculated as follows: 1 / 0.5 = 2. However, if the bookmaker offers a coefficient equal to 2, it will not receive any profit from such a transaction. Therefore, bookmakers introduce the so-called margin - the percentage that they will have from the bet for any of its outcomes. So, focusing on the above example, if the bookmaker introduces a margin of 5%, then the coefficient will be calculated by the formula: 1 / 0.55 = 1.82.

Important: coefficient has an inverse relationship with probability. The higher the chance of this or that event, the lower the coefficient will be, and with it the amount of winnings. Therefore, betting on the success of the favorites playing a match with outsiders is a useless undertaking. But a bet on the victory of a weak player over a strong one can bring good money, but the risks will be great.

Bookmakers offer different odds for the same events. It depends on two reasons:

• Analysts in offices unequally evaluate probabilities.
• The margin charged by offices may be different.

Advice: in order to bet correctly, it is best to use the services of several bookmakers, comparing the odds offered by them and choosing the most profitable ones.

How to choose the right bookmaker?

When choosing a bookmaker, the most important parameters will be:

• Reliability.
• Margin percentage.
• Convenience.

Bookmakers can be both official and unofficial. The former have a state license to carry out their activities, while the latter work illegally.

Advice: when choosing offices, give preference to official ones - this way you will insure yourself against many problems. The activities of such bookmakers are controlled by the state, so you don’t have to worry that you will not be paid out your winnings or that your account will be suddenly blocked. When cooperating with unofficial offices, the risk of such problems is quite high.

An important feature of official bookmakers is that they also act as your tax agents - they make deductions on their own. Recent changes in legislation oblige every citizen to deduct taxes to the state from the amounts received as a result of a successful bet with a bookmaker, provided that the winnings exceed 15 thousand rubles .

Important: never bet at unofficial bookmakers offering inflated odds, especially if they are newer - they are scammers.

You can check the reliability of a particular office by reading the reviews of other bettors on the Internet, as well as checking how long it has existed. As a rule, if the bookmaker has already long years carries out transactions, then there will be a lot of information about him on the Web, and he will value his reputation (unlike one-day offices).

Also, an important parameter for choosing a bookmaker is the convenience of the interface of its website. At first it might seem like it doesn't matter. However, when you're betting on the outcome of a match, timing can be of the essence: the odds will fluctuate depending on the situation on the pitch. You should be able to place your bet quickly.

How to place a bet?

To make money by betting, you need not only to choose profitable bookmakers, but also to properly manage the game bank.

Important: sports betting is a job like any other. What professional players somehow especially lucky - a myth created by bookmakers in order to lure ignorant beginners. Don't expect it to be easy and don't treat betting as a game of chance - this is the surest step to losing.

What is the difference between professional bettors who receive a stable income from betting on sports games, and beginners who quickly lose money and are disappointed in this kind of earnings?

Here are some important betting principles:

• Play "at a distance". That is, when making any decisions related to betting, consider how profitable they will be in the long run, and do not chase quick success and do not pursue short-term goals.
• Planning- what you need to start your professional path. A clear and consistent plan will help you achieve long-term goals and not give in to emotions.
• Stick to a specific game strategy or several at once: they exist to help you multiply your invested money. But remember that none of them guarantees a 100% win. A properly drawn up strategy line helps to win more than was spent on bets, even taking into account the inevitable losses.
• Clearly define the game bank. In particular, you need to separate “money for bets” and “money for life”, otherwise you risk losing everything and significantly worsen your financial condition. The game bank should stand out from the main budget and not exceed the amount that you are mentally prepared to part with in case of failure.
• Become a sports analyst. Of course, not immediately - it will take a lot of time and effort. But in order to earn, you need to strive for this. Study teams and players, memorize their strengths and weaknesses, pay attention to patterns. In general, learn to make correct predictions for the game yourself. After all, betting is not a roulette or a lottery, one or another outcome of an event depends much less on chance and much more on a combination of factors.
• Limit yourself to one or two sports: Only by being well versed in the game, you can make profitable bets.

Advice: novice betters often resort to the services of cappers - professional consultant players who are good at making predictions and who are ready to give you advice on what and how much to bet for a fee. There are also analysts who make forecasts for free, you can read them, for example, on sites like kushvsporte.ru. But if you want to earn regularly and well, then you will have to master the complex science of predicting sports on your own.

Types of bets

You can bet on the outcome of various events, such as:

• Total - the total number of goals scored in a match.
• Handicap - the difference in goals scored.
• Accurate account.
• An additional list (it includes bets of the type to score / not to score, even / odd, time / match and many others).
• Statistics (this includes bets on the number of corners, yellow cards, penalties, deletions, etc.).

The types of bets can also vary, the most popular are:

• « Ordinaries"- on the outcome of one event, for example, the victory of the team.
• « Express» - on the simultaneous outcome of several events, for example, the removal of a player and the victory of a team, or even successful matches of certain teams.

Important: Express bets allow you to win more than single bets, as the odds of the selected events will be added together. However, the risk of losing is high, so it is not recommended to bet on the simultaneous outcome of four or more events, limit yourself to two or three.

In the long run, "ordins" are more profitable from a mathematical point of view. The return of funds from a thousand bets will be:

• with single - 95%;
• with "express" of two events - 90.25%;
• with "express" of three events - 85.7%.

Game strategies

You can correctly place a bet by adhering to a certain line of play that allows you to make a profit in the long term. To do this, you need to use one or more strategies. There are a lot of them, but we will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of the most popular:

• « Forks» - you choose an event with two possible outcomes and place a bet on each in different bookmakers. Thus, if you lose in one, you win in the other: depending on the coefficients, you can not only regain the lost part of the bank, but also earn. This is the simplest strategy for making money, but it is severely suppressed by bookmakers: at least they can cut your winnings, and at the most, they will block your accounts.
• « Dogon"- a very risky progressive strategy that promises quick earnings. The bottom line is that you keep raising the bets on the outcome until you win back. For example, during a match between two teams, you can bet that the first of them will score the next goal. If this does not happen, you again bet on the same selection, only doubling your first bet. This strategy came to the world of sports from the casino, and it must be applied with great care, since there is a high risk of losing the entire bank. The main thing with such a game is to be able to stop in time.
• « Martingale"- another progressive strategy, it consists in the fact that you bet on an event and if you lose, you double the bet, and if you win, you return to the original one. It works on the same principle as Dogon, but not as risky. Its minus is that if the series of losses is too long, you may run out of money, and you will not have time to win it back.
• « d'Alembert"- this strategy is also called the" Pyramid ". The bottom line is that when you bet on an event, if you lose, you increase the bet by one unit, and if you win, you decrease it by one. In this case, you determine the size of the units yourself. Initially, the strategy was created for roulette and is considered less risky than Dogon and Martingale.
• « Oscar Grind» - progressive strategy; if you lose, you leave the bet unchanged, and if you win, you double it until you increase the pot by the size of the original bet. For example, the whole pot is 1000 rubles, and one unit is 100. You bet, you lose, and there are already 900 left. You bet 100 rubles again, and if she also loses, the pot will be 800. Then you bet 100 again, and if you win, you will have 900 rubles. Then you raise the bet to 200 and in case of victory you get already 1100 rubles. Thus, you increase the pot by the size of the original bet and return to the original unit of 100 rubles.
• « Kelly criterion» - the point is to use an algorithm that calculates the optimal bet amount for an event. At the same time, you are guided by your own assessment of the probability of the selected outcome and the quotes offered by the bookmaker. For a better understanding, let's illustrate the strategy with an example. You look through the offers and see a profitable odds of 4.0. In your opinion, the bookmaker underestimated the probability of this outcome: in fact, it is not 25%, but, say, 35%. So your prediction is 0.35 while the odds are 4.0. Using the following formula, we calculate the amount (as a percentage of your bank) that it is reasonable to bet on this event: (4 * 0.35 - 1) / (4 - 1) = 0.1333. Multiply by 100% and get 13.33%. If the risks have been assessed correctly, this is the rate that will be optimal for a particular event. The advantages of this method - a secure bank. Disadvantages - the possibility of making mistakes in forecasting.

Advice: professional players prefer to use combinations of several strategies, dividing the pot into parts. They can spend one on safer, longer-term strategies like the Kelly Criterion, and the other on risky, high-impact strategies like Martingale or d'Alembert.

Do I need to register with TSUPIS?

Since the legislation of our country in last years has taken all gambling, including betting, under strict control, in order to cooperate with official bookmakers, you will need to register with TsUPIS.

TsUPIS - Internet Bets Accounting Center. This is a credit institution that has entered into an agreement with the SRO of bookmakers and carries out all monetary transactions between offices and players. Some official bookmakers offer to create an account in TsUPIS during registration. You can also do this on the official website of the Center 1cupis.ru.

How much can you earn on bets?

One more important topic, worthy of attention - what profit can be made by betting with bookmakers. The earnings of each better are determined by how much he invests in the game and how skillfully he makes bets.

Average beginner with little investment in a month can earn up to 10% of the initial bank. Such a result is considered normal and is achieved with the consistent use of long-term strategies. A larger percentage is already considered superprofit, which can be obtained by applying risky "gaming" strategies.

Important: betters, of course, have something to strive for. With a good ability to make predictions and properly manage the game bank, they can become cappers - consultants on sports betting. You can find out how much the best cappers earn from the rating compiled by the League of Predictions.

Important: On January 1, 2018, amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation came into force. Now, from the profit received from a successful bet with a bookmaker, if it exceeds 15 thousand rubles, it is necessary to deduct income tax to the state in the amount of 13%.

Summing up

Making money with sports betting is getting harder every year. Even the best bookmakers often prevent successful players from making a profit by limiting their betting limits and increasing margins. Legislation is increasingly controlling this area, setting rules and imposing taxes.

The most important rule of success is to make the right choice, to guess the outcome of the game before its final. How to bet at a bookmaker for a beginner? It all starts with simple rules.

How to bet correctly

The bookmaker should not act at random: for a winning bet, it is important to use analytical thinking, to know the details of the game process, to be able to feel and skillfully avoid pitfalls.

If you expect to receive money from a football or hockey team, study its composition, find out all the information about the matches played over the past two years. Statistical information gives a complete picture of the strengths and weaknesses commands, which will be very useful in the future.

The choice of a bookmaker is also of great importance. Don't choose by feel, swipe detailed analysis on betting sites, study all the reviews, do not rely on positive comments alone: ​​if there is not a single bad one among them, this is an alarming sign.

It is better to choose offers with low odds - in case of loss, you will get off with minimal cash spending. For example, on the Liga Stavov website they accept bets from ten rubles, and on Parimatch from one ruble. You can also count on deposits - your account receives a certain amount of money as a gift, which is not a pity to spend.

Bets can be placed both online and in person at the game. If you are new to this business, then when you make an application, specially trained people will help you figure out all the intricacies. Do not settle for offers from the office like “we are sure that this outcome will happen today”, or “if you choose our offer, you will be credited with a bonus”. Remember - free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

Any doubt before making a decision can work to your detriment - experienced players or close friends may convince you to change the bet to one that seems to be beneficial to them. It is very easy to fall for assurances, especially if they have evidence and you don't feel confident about them. decision. That is why it is important to study all the information about the teams. It is not at all necessary to bet only on favorites. Consider the little things: if you know that one of the players was injured on the field, or the coach has changed, draw conclusions. You must soberly assess the situation and predict who exactly will win in a certain match. Your goal is to get money.

Types of bets:

• In real time;
• For the upcoming moment (forecast for the future).

In real time, you can change the decision as the game progresses.

Try to divide the money into several parts so that there is enough for a whole chain of different bets. If there are more than five coupons for one bet (express bet), with one erroneous move, you remain a loser. Scattering coupons on different numbers, the chances of winning are much higher. Try not to bet on the favorite - the coefficient is very small, as is the percentage of winnings. The optimal choice is a bet on the total number of goals scored (total), an individual total - when you hope for a goal from a certain player or a single bet.

• What is a "line" - a list of options with possible game outcomes. Each option has its own coefficient;
• Coefficient (kef) - a figure. By multiplying your bet by the number in the table, they will find out the amount of future winnings;
• Bet - your amount of money;
• The result (outcome) is the final of the whole game.

How to correctly mark a bet:

• Home win - (1);
• Away win - (2);
• Draw game - X;
• Home win or draw - (1X);
• Winning another team (away) or X (draw) - (2X).

If you fail, you should not rush about and lay out money, hoping to win back as soon as possible. The best way out of the situation is to calm down, try to understand the reason for the loss, and next time make the right choice. Don't turn the way extra income to the meaning of life.

Determine your maximum budget. First, decide what is the maximum amount you can stake. On the one hand, too high a budget can lead to personal bankruptcy. On the other hand, a small amount of budget will limit you a little. Follow the rules of this article and post correct rates, which will reduce the risk of large losses to almost zero. The maximum budget for a beginner according to the “basic rule based on numerous experience” should be 35,000 rubles.

Choose the maximum amount of your bet. Placing all your money on one outcome, the only correct one in your opinion, you will not achieve your goal. Only the division of risk between several games will lead to profit. So the restriction maximum bid will increase your chances of winning. According to the “rule of thumb”, the maximum bet amount for a beginner is 1,750 rubles.

Choose the right betting line. Only bet on the two main categories: Match Result and Total Over/Under 2.5 Goals. "Match result" means the choice of one of three possible outcomes of the game: home win, draw or away win. "Total over/under 2.5 goals" means determining the total number of goals scored in the match: over or under 2.5. The most recent statistics prove that bets in these two categories are the most effective. And we believe in science!

Examine the probability of the outcome of the game. The probability of the outcome of the match, as a rule, is determined in the range from 0% (no chance) to 100% (correct bet). For example, the probability of an outcome in the Match Result category could be: home win = 60%, draw = 15%, away win = 25%. For the category "Total over/under 2.5 goals": under 2.5 = 45%, over 2.5 = 55%. The sum of all the final probabilities of the "Match Result" line should be equal to 100%, since one of these three variations will definitely take place. The sum of the probabilities of the outcome on the line "Total over/under 2.5 goals" should also be 100% too, since the total number of goals scored during any football match will be either more than 2.5 goals or less. In other words, the probability of any outcome expresses your belief in the selected outcome, distributed between 0% and 100%. Possible probabilities, also commonly known as "betting tips" or "predictions", can be found on the Internet. Let's explain how you can rate them.

Find a good website or rate prediction. The best way to find the probabilities of match outcomes is to use Internet resources. There are a number of websites that provide free advice. Type "football betting tips" into Google and you'll find most of them. When choosing your site, make sure the forecasts provided perform well over time by comparing between likely and real results matches. The bigger the difference between these tips and the bookmakers' predictions (explained later), the bigger your earnings.

Explore the "fixed odds" market. Bookmakers determine fixed odds for each outcome in the categories Match Result and Total Over/Under 2.5 Goals. For example, the odds of the Match Result line could be: win at home = 1.5, draw = 3.6, win away = 5.8. This means that if you bet 3,500 rubles on a home win and the bet wins, you will receive 3,500 * 1.5 = 5,250 rubles from the bookmaker. If not, you will lose your 3,500. So the odds basically multiply your bet, and you are interested in their maximum value in the outcome of the match you are betting on.

Understand the relationship between odds and probability. Given the above coefficients, try to determine their reverse designations: 1/1.5, 1/3.6, 1/5.8, and multiply by 100%. You will get the probable, according to the bookmaker, percentage for this outcome: home win = 66%, draw = 27%, away win = 17%. Unfortunately, when you calculate their sum, as in the previous example, you will get not 100%, but 110%. The 10% difference is the commission that the bookmaker adds to the odds. Subtracting 10%/3 from the three percentages above will give you the exact betting probabilities: win at home = 63%, tie = 24%, win away = 13%.

Choose your bookmaker. The best bookmaker for you is the one that provides the highest odds for the results you choose to bet on. Prediction and statistics websites usually offer you a list of bookmakers and their odds for each game. You can choose the bookmaker with the highest odds and register to place your bet.

Compare the odds and your odds of winning on bets. For a long time known way comparison of bookmakers' odds and your odds - a simple multiplication of them. If you get a high value for some result, it means that there is a good chance of making a profit. However, if your predictions are inaccurate, then the potential final calculation may be wrong. For example, bookmaker odds are: home win = 1.5, draw = 3.6, away win = 5.8. And the advice you found on the internet says the following: home win = 60%, draw = 15%, away win = 25%. The multiplication results then result in the following potential for each outcome: home win = 1.5 * 60% = 0.9, draw = 3.6 * 15% = 0.54, away win = 5.8 * 25% = 1 .45. You can see that in this case the chance of winning the guests is the highest. Unfortunately, the chance of the away win is 25% and so if you choose to bet on away wins, your chances of winning are only 25%.

Find a bet with high winning potential. The basic "rule of thumb" is: bet on an outcome with odds greater than 3 and a probability greater than 40%. In this case, the value will be 1.3. So, you can calculate the stake: Stake = 1/100 * Budget * (Probability - (100% - Probability) / (Odds - 1)). For example, when home win odds = 3.0, home win probability = 40%, and budget = $35,000, you would bet: Bet = 1/100 * $35,000 * (40% - (100% -40%) / (3–1)) = 3,500 rubles. Since the maximum allowed bet amount is 1700 rubles, then this will be your bet. If the calculated rate is less than 0, do not place it.

About what sports betting is and how to make money on it, what types and strategies of sports betting are, where (in which bookmakers) it is better to place sports bets via the Internet (online) - read in this issue

Excitement is considered an integral part of human nature, and the desire to argue is its external manifestation. Therefore, various bets have been made since ancient times.

Rooted for favorite athletes Olympic Games in the era of antiquity, and the fights of gladiators caused a huge stir even in ancient Rome. Apparently, then the prototypes of the current bookmakers appeared, although officially, the homeland of the betting shop is Great Britain .

Nowadays game with bookmakers can be considered as special kind financial transactions , very similar to investment projects implemented on stock exchanges. We wrote about it in a separate article - we advise you to read it. And the best broker according to most traders is " ForexClub".

📌 The degree of risk in both cases is comparable. It is no coincidence that, according to respected analysts, the annual volume of the betting market is estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars.

It is very easy to become a member of this business. When asked on the Internet, the search engine will return several dozen betting sites. Betting online very convenient and the process is very simple.

In addition, respected bookmakers with a stable reputation offer download mobile apps , using which you can participate in the game from almost anywhere, having a device at hand (phone, tablet, etc.).

Professional players are called handicappers. In order to become one, it is not enough to have only a long experience as a fan and a good understanding of sports. If everything were so easy, many famous football players, hockey players, other athletes and coaches would have made huge fortunes long ago.

To make the correct one, which is the basis of the winning bet, you need to have knowledge in mathematics, have an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bprobability theory and mathematical statistics, and know the specifics of the work of bookmakers.

Many people think that a bookmaker and a sweepstakes are one and the same. But this is not entirely true: in the first case, we are talking about an institution where sports bets are accepted, and in the second, about one of the types of bets

2. What is a bookmaker's office and sweepstakes - definition + principle of operation

Nowadays, the popularity of such establishments is not only falling, but rather everywhere. grows. This became especially noticeable with the advent of Internet technologies, which make it possible to place a bet, without leaving home. Due to this, a fairly significant place in gambling business all over the world occupy precisely major bookmakers , such as 1xstavka, bwin and others.

What is the principle of operation of sweepstakes, how they differ from bookmakers, whether most people correctly draw parallels between them, you will learn further.

2.1. What is a bookmaker and what does it do

Bets- This is an institution that makes a kind of bet with its visitors. You can argue on any events, but most often only sports: football matches, boxing matches etc.

To put it simply, the essence of such interaction between the bookmaker and the client is as follows: a person decides to bet on a particular outcome of a sporting event. If he turns out to be right, he is paid the amount of his investment, along with a predetermined profit. If the outcome was not guessed, then the money disappears.

History of bookmaking

French Pierre Olera considered to be the "father of bookmaking", because it was he who was the first person who came up with the idea of ​​renting a kind of office at the hippodrome and inviting people to his place to bet on the upcoming races. It happened in the 19th century.

Further, such an idea migrated to England, where bookmakers were also opened, and to this day they are rightfully the most reliable in the world. Such organizations reached Russia only in 1991 year. Their appearance is associated with the emergence and rapid development of capitalism.

2.2. How the bookmaker works - the principle of operation

The basic principle by which such organizations conduct their activities is quite simple: a person is confident in some outcome of the event and decides to place a bet, after which he pays money and receives a receipt. If he wins, he turns to the bookmaker and collects his winnings.

An interesting point is the fact that such offices don't spend their money, because they simply manage the finances of the losers.

The popularity of such organizations in our time is growing, in fact, because they are becoming more accessible in online mode . At the same time, in order to calculate the winning coefficient by which the player's bet will be multiplied, an analysis is made of the probability of winning one or another opponent in a sports competition.

To calculate the amount of expected profit, you just need to multiply the starting investment by the proposed multiplier. If, for example, the coefficient was equal to 2, and the bet was $50, then in the end the player will receive in case of success 100 dollars.

What is bookmaker margin - definition of the term + example

Underneath this term is own profit organizations. The thing is that it is unprofitable for bookmakers to simply engage in bets, so they invest their certain percentage in the calculated odds in advance, which is almost imperceptible to the player.

Suppose that two equivalent teams meet on the field, which means that the chance of winning one of them is 50 %. This suggests that the expected ratio is 2 .

The bookmaker, who also wants to make a profit, sets a margin equal to 0.1 of the winnings. This means that the winning player will receive, with an initial bet of $100, not $200, but 190 .

2.3. What is a tote - description + essence of work

Tote- This is a special organization that accepts bets mainly on horse racing.

The essence of their work lies in the fact that the winnings are distributed not depending on the previously calculated coefficients, but by equal distribution of the collected bank from the losers.

In addition, both the game itself and a specialized device that shows the place of horses in the race at the races can be called a tote.

It should be noted that such systems are single, and double or even triple. This means that the bet can be placed on the horse that is most likely to come first, second or even third.

After the end of a sporting event, the organizers of the totalizator act in the following way: part of the amount collected goes to the racecourse, part is withdrawn as margin, and the rest is divided among those who made the correct bets. The larger its size, the more amount win.

2.4. What is the difference between a totalizator and a betting shop - the main differences

In fact, after analyzing the previously presented information, the differences are quite obvious. Tote often accepts bets only on horse races, but bookmakers can bet on any sport. At the same time, the latter, in the course of their activities, use a certain statistical and purely mathematical apparatus for calculating game coefficients. But in sweepstakes they are simply not there.

Note! Profit received in the course of cooperation with bookmakers more stable, because a person immediately knows in advance how much he can get if he turns out to be right about the outcome of a sporting event. The same cannot be said about sweepstakes.

The principle of operation of sweepstakes implies the dependence of the total income percentage on two indicators: from bet amounts and from investment size specific winner. Yes, and you can often meet them only in equestrian sports, which cannot be said about bookmakers.

The main types of sports betting in bookmakers

3. Types of sports betting in a bookmaker - 7 most popular bookmaker bets

Most people who have never been involved in such activities think that you can only bet on two or a maximum of three outcomes: victory one side win second or draw . In fact, the fantasy of modern bookmakers knows no bounds, so they are constantly upgrading betting systems, thinking of new types. This allows you to diversify the life of the players and make the process itself more fascinating.

In addition, a wide range of possible events, or as experienced handicappers call it - good line , allows professionals to develop more sophisticated strategies to make the income from playing in bookmakers more stable.

So, let's consider the main classification of bets, which can be used by both beginners and experienced players.

View 1. The outcome of a sporting event

By the name itself, it is clear that players will have to guess the likely outcome of the competition. Often available 3 outcome: 2 wins and a draw.

View 2. Double Chance

In this case, bookmakers offer to combine two developments. At the same time, such bets are available only for those sports where it is provided draw. In fact, players are given the opportunity to predict one out of two events.

• victory one or the other team (12);
• win first parties or draw(1X);
• triumph second commands or draw(X2).

Of course, the odds for such bets are always smaller, but the chance to win becomes many times greater.

It's no secret that in most cases the favorite is known, however, to be safe, you can choose a double bet with a draw.

View 3. Total

A very popular type of betting with a bookmaker, which is available in football . It consists in determining how many goals will be scored in the match.

There are two types of this bet:

1. TB(total over) implies that there will be more than 2.5 balls in the goal, that is, from 3 and more;
2. TM(total under) assumes there will be 0, 1, or 2 heads.

View 4. Handicap

This type of betting was developed in order to balance the probabilities of fairly strong rivals in the bookmaker's office.

Often the handicap can be for one team +1,5 , and for rivals -1,5 .

An example will make everything clearer:

Let's say, on the field meet all known Bavaria And Southampton . It is not difficult to predict that the coefficient for the first team will be much lower due to its clear advantage.

If Bayern has F (-1.5), then this means that its athletes must defeat their opponents by more than 1.5 goals. The coefficient in this case will be approximately 1.7 (not so big already).

For Southampton, F (+1.5) means that the team must not be outsiders with a difference of more than 1.5 goals.

View 5. Time match

In this case, the player is given the opportunity to determine the outcome of the match itself, and in which half it will be decided. The coefficients here are quite large.

For example, may be a bet that determines that the team won both the first half and the entire game. Predicting this is much more difficult than just the outcome of the match, so bookmakers draw people's attention to such bets due to the prospect big win .

View 6. Accurate score

In this case, the player has to predict specific the outcome of a sporting event.

For example, if this is a football match, then you will need to determine the expected number of goals from both sides.

Odds for such bets start from 3 and can be very large.

View 7. Asian total

In this case, we are talking about bets with a non-integer indicator. For example, 2.25, 3.25 or 2.75.

For understanding, consider the example of TB 2.75:

In this case, the bet should be divided into two components: on the TB 3 And TB 2.5 . If more than 3 goals were scored during the game, then the player is considered the winner, if only 3, then half of the amount that he bet on TB 2.75 is returned.

Work with these rates more difficult, BUT they allow in the case when a person is sure of some event, insure. If one less goal is scored in the described case, then the player will not lose so much money.

Thus, the existing types of bets were considered, most of which apply only to football. Some (for example, outcome, double chance or correct score) can be used for other sports as well.

Experts advise to analyze the upcoming event in detail before choosing a bet in order to predict it most likely result .

In addition, the application complex rates makes it possible in some cases insure(the coefficient will be slightly lower), as well as use an unusual strategy that promises less risk.

How to make money on sports betting - prerequisites

4. Earnings on sports betting - how much can you earn on sports betting and is it really possible to increase money for a beginner

Many people who have not experienced betting before in their lives doubt that it is possible to get optimal profit without too much difficulty with their help. In fact, if you try to answer the question “Is it really possible to earn something on sports betting?”, then we can formulate the following answer: « Quite if you approach the process wisely".

Of course, experts say that this way of earning is enough risky , however, this is due only to the fact that no one can know the real outcome of a particular sporting event.

Despite this, using your money for betting is much more profitable than, for example, keep them in a bank deposit. At the same time, do not forget that there are risks in all matters related to money in any area of ​​life. Even a bank is not immune from robberies, cataclysms or any money problems in the country, in connection with which, despite all the guarantees, depositors will not receive money.

It is from all this reasoning about risks that the most first rule of sports betting: during the game, you can use only those financial savings, the loss of which, in which case, is drastically will not affect life and will not become fatal.

Important! In fact, you need to take only money that is in free access. Based on this, it is impossible never to borrow or withdraw funds from the family budget for bets. About that, right now, we told in one of the last issues.

At the same time, experts argue that bankroll(start-up capital) should not be too big, but not too small either. You can’t start with small bets if you plan to play according to special strategies. It is best to immediately acquire such an amount that would allow you to make at least from 20 to 50 equal in terms of rates.

The question may immediately arise: Is it possible to get a real profit by playing in bookmakers, which would allow you to give up your main job? Is it possible to count, focusing only on rates, on a decent monthly income? If yes, what needs to be done for this?

The answer to these questions is at least the fact that handicappers- professional players in betting shops. These people abandon their usual work and are engaged in analyzing past sporting events, making predictions for upcoming competitions and matches.

Their work is not easy, because you need to first understand how bookmakers work, and what are the main mathematical rules for such activities.

In addition, on initial stage it is necessary to ensure that the all of the following conditions:

1. In the presence of uninterrupted access to the World Wide Web;
2. Every day it is possible to allocate at least 3-4 hours;
3. Small starting capital, which was mentioned earlier (bankroll);
4. Coolness and a serious approach (you need to learn in any situation hold back your emotions and not succumb to fleeting desires that do not coincide with the verdict of mathematical predictions);
5. There must be an increased interest directed to one of the sports.

Most often, people start a simple acquaintance with betting or a real handicapping career with the most famous and sought-after sports around the world: from hockey, basketball or, of course, football . Despite this, experts believe that the most profit can be obtained through tennis .

If tennis is not so interesting, then it’s still worth starting with the usual football who is all over the world, except USA, counts the most popular sport due to its simplicity, scale and sufficient dynamism. We talked about it in detail in a previous article.

When using working strategies, every beginner can count on relatively stable profits. Initially, in its pure form, it can be somewhere up to 10% per month from start-up capital.

For those who like to take risks, there are other strategies that differ in their elevated profitability. With their help, you can get up to half of the starting pot. The catch lies in the fact that with the same success in the pursuit of large percentages you can lose everything.

At the same time, it is worth noting that income in the amount 10% Not only absolutely real, but also least risky . The final profit will actually depend on the initial investment. The larger they are, the more you can get after the expected outcome of certain sporting events.

How to make money on football betting - 4 important rules for getting a high income

As already mentioned before, football best suited for novice players at bookmakers. The thing is that this particular sport is familiar to everyone since childhood, its rules are the most understandable and accessible, and the successes and defeats of most well-known clubs are well known to everyone. That is why a large amount of information can be found on the Internet for each upcoming event, as well as fresh football predictions from professionals your business.

Another advantage football as a sport for beginner handicappers is that it is quite intense in terms of rules. At the same time, there are dozens of factors that allow us to argue that the chances of a particular club to win are growing or falling.

Because football is a team sport, the result of the match depends on each specific player and on their totality. If the favorites' star goalkeeper broke his leg, then the team will not be in the best mood, and they can miss enough goals, because someone from the substitutes will have to enter the field.

Despite all this, you should not succumb to the imaginary feeling that in football everything is very easy to calculate. No professional handicapper never will not bet on the victory of some team, just because he had some kind of dream or something intuition tells him. In any case, any sporting event - collection of smaller random events, which means that its outcome is not so easy to predict.

Other factors can also influence the outcome of a match: the quality of the grass on the field, the weather, whether this game is an away game for a certain team, have there been scandals related to its participants recently, etc.

That is why experts do not advise rely only on intuition and the odds offered by bookmakers, especially if they are equal, which means that the bet organizers themselves doubt one or another outcome, but do not deny that both of them are real.

So, in order to bet on football matches and start earning consistently, you need to remember a few professional tips:

1. Under any conditions, it is forbidden to bet on a team that is your favorite. It is on “favorite clubs” that they earn most bookmakers of their own money, because handicappers simply overestimate the strength of their favorites and clearly underestimate their rivals. In fact, all the surrounding events and factors that can affect the outcome are overshadowed by the fact that the favorite club is playing.
2. You can never choose to bet on all leagues and all possible sports. Best to choose minimum a set of teams and competitions that will have to be monitored. In that case, it will be possible Firstly, not to miss anything, and, secondly, not to be scattered on extraneous events and, for example, it is better to understand the features of a particular league, identifying its clear favorites, outsiders and “middle peasants”.
3. It's best to never get involved with matches and fights that are decisive both for the opposing sides and for the championship itself. Experts advise avoiding those events that can bring a clear advantage to one of the parties if it wins. However, for the same reasons not worth it pay attention to final matches and fights. The thing is that for such events, the organizers of bets calculate all the odds to the smallest detail, clinging to every hundredth. That is why bookmakers are preparing for clear favorites very small odds, and it makes no sense to bet on outsiders if the chance of their victory is minimal.
4. In any situation and in any outcome, you must always control your emotions until the last second. At the same time, it is worth doing this both before choosing rates, and when it is no longer possible to influence anything. Before starting the game you need necessarily weigh all the available information and bet according to the chosen strategy. When all the bets have already been made and it remains only to wait for the results, showing emotions is all the more out of place, because the outcome of a sporting event can be decided in its very last minutes.

Among other things, professionals advise beginners not to forget to pay attention to the odds. Based on the analysis of these profitable multipliers, several effective strategies have been built, and this already says something. At the same time, it is obvious that how less ratio, topics more likely this outcome , which means that on the earliest pairs it is better to give preference to this particular event. Let it not bring very large profits, but income will be more likely.

It is also worth noting that professionals pay attention even to hundredths of the coefficients, and also compare them with different bookmakers.

Thus, there are a number of tips that help as a beginner to integrate into the new kind earnings, and the professional does not lose his head from unexpected success. Keeping your cool, you can count on relatively stable profits, given the implementation of the previously described recommendations and wishes.

According to the basic rules it is forbidden be scattered across various leagues and sports areas, and it is also necessary always keep yourself under control. At the same time, decisive measures should be avoided due to their difficult predictability and adjusted coefficients.

Among other things, experts do not advise betting on events related to your favorite team or favorite athlete, so that unjustified revaluation does not play a cruel joke.

Step-by-step guide on how to correctly bet on sports at bookmakers

5. How to bet at bookmakers - 4 easy steps for beginners

Advertising of such organizations that offer their customers to make a kind of bet on the outcome of a particular sporting event can now be found everywhere: on the TV, on the street and on almost every website in the Internet.

In a separate article, we have already written, and also provided a list of lotteries that you can really win.

Sport- the hobby is interesting and rather complicated, but it is much easier and more efficient to use statistical and mathematical methods in it.

Despite all this, many people, although they have heard something about bookmakers, have no idea how to place bets. It is necessary not only to be able to make a bet, but also to work according to special strategy , properly managing the bank and choosing only noteworthy sport events.

So how do you place your sports bet? We invite you to familiarize yourself with step by step instructions Further.

Step #1. Choosing a bookmaker

Nowadays, the process of choosing a bookmaker is also complicated by the fact that, thanks to the Internet, everyone can place a bet both in a domestic bookmaker and in a foreign one.

Advantages Russian bookmakers unambiguous: they accept any payment methods using systems existing in the country (including real cash register or office , where you can pay in cash), and also in which case it is possible in extreme situations to communicate personally with representatives of the organization if a dispute arises.

Foreign offices in turn are often attracted by a large number of alternative rates (special lines of both main and additional bets are developed for them), as well as reputation and the absence of force majeure. Despite this, foreign bookmakers are not very fond of visitors from the CIS countries, so in some situations they even refuse to register on the site.

Experts advise trying your hand at once in both domestic and foreign organizations in order to cover more possible rates.

High odds also play an important role when choosing a bookmaker.

Step #2. Studying the strategy and system of the game for sports betting

After choosing a bookmaker, it is worth moving on to studying existing strategies

After all, you need to correctly answer the questions: with what amounts to start and how to increase the starting capital?

From the very beginning, professional players advise beginners to learn the meaning of the basic rules and existing terms: total, handicap, single bet, systemic etc. If you do not understand the basics, then you can make a lot of mistakes. (We will talk about the main terms and concepts further in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section at the end of the article).

Having familiarized yourself with the features of the work of the selected bookmakers, you should deepen your knowledge in the field sports rules. In this case, you can immediately affect several competitions.

When learning theoretical foundations completed, we need to move on to the consideration of practical things, that is, strategies.

Nowadays, there are a sufficient number of them, but they differ mainly in the amount of initial investment. That is why the very first question that a novice player must answer is related precisely co starting capital(bankroll).

Note! The most important thing- to understand that money must be allocated for the game, which must be in free circulation. With all this, the bank cannot be used for other needs. For game only.

Step #3. Determining the size of the bet

When the pot is formed, you can proceed to determine the size of your bets. It is better to decide in advance that, for example, for each selected position will be given 5% from all the money available for the game. This is necessary so that in a fit of emotions, when it seems that now your favorite football team will definitely win, NOT bet everything at the risk of losing the pot.

A well-thought-out bet size is a good way to discipline yourself.

Step number 4. Choosing your strategy and starting the game

After these steps, you can move on to the most interesting - the definition of a strategy and the beginning of the game . To do this, we recommend that you read in the relevant section of this article about existing technologies that allow you to minimize risks with optimal predicted profit.

When the choice of strategy is completed, and there is already money on hand for the first bets, you can start playing by determining the type of sport.

Don't dive into the unknown . It is better to dwell on something familiar and familiar. Sports such as hockey, basketball and, of course, football are great for starting.

It is worth noting one important aspect, which is especially true for beginners. Before the game on the real money, it is best to try your hand with virtual funds.

Now special bonuses are available in almost every bookmaker, which makes it possible to try to make a pair test rates, not risking real money. In addition, you can simply check the efficiency of the strategy, as well as how realistic it is to implement all its nuances using the proposed virtual deposit.

Many experts also advise in this way to check not only the performance of various techniques and the bookmaker itself, but also own forces.

Maybe them still not enough in order to bet on real money, as a result of which you need to wait a little more by reading additional information on the Internet and getting acquainted with the advice of experienced players.

Thus, it is worth noting again that in order to obtain stable earnings in bookmakers, you need not only to acquire a kind of start-up capital that cannot be spent anywhere else except on bets, but also not forget about learning the rules of sports games, as well as choosing the right strategy.

Among other things, in any situation it is necessary maintain composure, as well as control your emotions.

Review of the best sports betting strategies: football, tennis, basketball, hockey

7. Sports betting strategies - working game systems in bookmakers

As mentioned earlier, a novice player may be confused when he sees the existing variety of bets at a bookmaker, deciding that it is best to bet only directly on the result of a particular sporting event.

Actually, to get stable income it is not enough just to have a certain bank. You also need to apply for the game certain strategy .

On the Internet, a beginner can find dozens of different techniques that differ not only in the rates used, but also in the size of the starting capital, as well as the expected profit.

For those who are just starting to get acquainted with the world of bookmakers, it is best to start with a few of the most proven and reliable strategies in order to most likely stay with your money and also make a profit.

No one will argue that any gaming equipment does not guarantee no failures. Otherwise, all bookmakers would have been left with nothing and would have closed a long time ago. We advise you to read our article about how to change your life for the better.

Various strategies, with a skillful approach, can actually increase the chances of getting a more or less stable income in the long run. To do this, you need to remain calm and act according to one of the schemes proposed below.

7.1. Sports Betting Gaming Strategies

In this case, we mean technologies that help you choose the right events worthy of attention, as well as the best rates.

Most people do not try to analyze their game model and do not think about the prospect of long-term earnings.

Experts advise to pay attention to following strategies, which will help take the beginner's playstyle to a definitely new level:

• classic analysis right before a sporting event (Value Betting);
• a bet on events that were underestimated by bookmakers;
• game in real time;
• catch up;
• so-called forks.

The most popular gaming technology - Value Betting. In the Russian version, it sounds like "underestimated rates."

In this case, the player does the following: he is looking for such an outcome of events, on which the bookmakers put up very a large coefficient, since they themselves don't believe into his reality.

If a person is sure that in the long run such a bet can play and bring profit, then he will definitely make it.

Let's try to understand the principle of such a strategy using an example:

Suppose that the player keeps track of all matches of the Real Madrid abstract club. Of course, the majority consider him a potential winner, which means they will always bet on winning, not taking into account small odds.

The technology of underestimated events, in turn, implies the following: you need to bet on the victory of the opposing team, because there the profitable multiplier will be so large that in the event of an unexpected oversight of the clear favorites, it will be possible to win back all the money lost earlier.

This approach, of course, is only profitable in the long term, so you need to be patient.

Two other popular strategies called "catching up" And "fork" experts call in theory win-win . In this case, two fundamentally unattainable conditions must be observed:

1. A person must have an unlimited game bank;
2. Bets in a bookmaker's office should not be limited in size.

It is because of two nuances that experts do not advise starting with these strategies for those who are just taking their first steps in the described area. Despite this, people with a large bank can try one of these technologies for themselves.

essence "catching up" simple enough: you need to constantly increase the size of the next bet after each loss, overlapping the previous losses with the next win in the future.

Thus, you can bet on a highly profitable outcome of events, where the coefficient is larger, and every time after a failure, for example, double the money invested in the bet.

Everything would be fine, but if you start playing right away with high stakes, then after a real series of defeats, the money may simply run out.

The second problem is that even if funds are available, the bookmaker may simply not allow you to bet on a very large amount.

You can get around this moment, albeit for a short time, by searching for organizations with approximately the same coefficients. In this case, you can break especially big bet between bookmakers.

Technology "forks" less and less used lately, although it used to be very popular when the odds in different offices differed from each other. Then experienced players could afford to earn on the difference.

Recently, due to approximately the same profitable multipliers (most bookmakers cooperate with the same statistical centers that deal with forecasts) and the tightening of the rules by which bets are made, “arbellers” can be seen less and less.

7.2. Sports Betting Financial Strategies

This kind of technology recommends players one or another scheme for using start-up capital to get the maximum possible profit with little risk. In fact, a person's attention is fixed not on a sporting event and its probable outcomes, but on the figures And money .

Experts distinguish among the most popular the following gaming technologies:

• flat (the most popular and simple game strategy);
• martingale strategy (in fact, it is an analogue of the methodology catch up, however, recommends not to pay attention to the predictability of a particular outcome of an event, but to choose best rate depending on the proposed coefficients);
• Kelly criterion (determines the amount that is worth betting with a bookmaker, based on the starting capital and several changing indicators);
• fixed income (before each event, it is calculated how much you need to spend on it in order to get the expected income).

All these strategies have a place to be, however, as mentioned earlier, it is precisely flat Recommend to all newbies. Its basic principle is rate fixing.

There is no need to take into account and calculate anything. Most often it is about 5 % of the pot, but more experienced players themselves vary this figure.

Note! Flat best suited for long-term prospects, however, it requires maximum endurance from a person, because very often after a failure you want to win back quickly and bet more than the amount agreed in advance.

Thus, existing technologies and various strategies allow the player both to fixate on the outcome of a particular match, and to think about the allocated amounts for each event and the odds set by bookmakers.

The beginner is best to choose for himself fixed rate, and also try in each case to analyze the expected outcome of events as accurately as possible.

How best to play at a bookmaker to win - tips and tricks from experienced bettors (handicappers)

8. How to play at a bookmaker - 4 useful betting tips for beginners

As mentioned earlier, working with bets on the outcome of sporting events is a business that can bring good profit, but at the same time, it is associated with certain risks .

"Cut down the jackpot", obeying only emotions, will not work here. It is more likely that you can lose everything than with an ill-conceived strategy to receive a stable income.

That is why experts say that it is necessary to listen to several recommendations in order to minimize risks and increase prospective profits.

Tip 1. Set aside an amount that you won't mind losing

When playing in bookmakers, a person must have such an amount with which it would be possible to implement some kind of strategy and, in addition, it would not be critical to lose her in case of force majeure. At the same time, you need to control yourself and do not conclude bet on all available money.

If the bet turned out to be unsuccessful, then it should be such that you don’t want to, succumbing to some fleeting impulses, immediately win it back at dubious events or the unlikely outcomes of certain competitions.

To do this, it is enough to place a bet only from a part of the bank (earlier it was said about 5 %), leaving the bulk of the funds for future action.

Tip 2: Read up on your opponents first

You cannot place bets on a sporting event, the outcome of which is difficult to predict on your own. It is best to review several previous competitions (matches) with each of the opponents in order to have an idea about them.

It is also necessary to focus on secondary factors: the weather on the day of the event (especially relevant for football), the quality of the playing field, the mood of the opponents, possible injuries.

Important! You should never place bets without first studying various informational materials.

The easiest way to consider this rule is on the example of football. Before choosing a bet, it is imperative to find out who is injured in the teams, how important these players are, who sits on the bench, what prospects will open up for the club if they win.

If this match does not solve anything for the athletes (they are explicit leaders or outsiders) , then in this case they can play at half strength. This nuance works and vice versa: if the competition is decisive, and there was a series of victories before it, then the optimistic attitude of the athletes themselves will only add to their chances of winning.

Tip 3. Always keep an eye on the odds

It is with their help that bookmakers regulate both their profits and the income of players. They depend, no matter how strange it may seem, in real world not only on the obvious chances of opponents, but also on several other factors.

For example, the coefficients by which the player's bet will be multiplied if he wins, may change in cases where too much people were put on one of the probable outcomes of events, as well as when to bookmakers leaked behind the scenes information.

A sharp change in multipliers can manifest itself immediately before the sporting event itself.

Tip 4. You can’t strive from the very beginning to invest more to get the maximum possible profit.

An ill-conceived approach to betting can even lead to a loss Total jar. Experienced betters (from English bet- bid) do not recommend play with all available money.

Firstly, must be defined reserve, from which in the future it will be possible to use additional funds for betting. Secondly, most strategies involve complex game combinations. They assume usage a large number various rates. This means that the more parts the money is divided into, the more confident you can feel.

At the same time, it is worth noting that solid rates- thoughtless risk in pursuit of instant wealth.

Of course possible in overnight win an attractive amount if the outcome is at a good odds, but here are the odds lose all and ingloriously end his career as a novice handicapper (better) in the case of a rash approach, nevertheless above .

Thus, all these rules can be slightly generalized by formulating main recommendation in this way: You should never give in to the influx of emotions when playing at bookmakers.

Necessary first to allocate money that it will not be a pity to lose, but then break them into a large number of small equal parts. At the same time, before choosing the alleged winner, it is mandatory to familiarize yourself with the dossier of the rivals.

If this, for example , a football match, then you need to know all the features of the game of each team, as well as their morale and the presence of injured important players in the composition.

A hint for a beginner bettor in a bookmaker's office will be change in coefficients one way or the other right before a sporting event.

Firstly, organizations involved in such betting adjust the income multiplier due to the fact that most of their customers choose one or another outcome of events. Secondly, bookmakers are always the first to know all the news, which means that some kind of important information which is not yet known to the public.

Criterion #1. Reliability

Under this concept first of all imply a professional approach of bookmakers to their customers.

To become reliable, the office must stably pay out funds in any amount, and must not engage in dubious activities ( for example, block the player's account with large amount account, without explaining to him the reasons for such actions).

Criterion #2. Odds

The value of the game multiplier determines what the profit will be in case of a successful bet. It is by the coefficient that the amount of money invested in the game will be multiplied.

When betting with any bank, it is more pleasant to get the maximum income available. For example, with two multipliers, the second of which is higher by a tenth of a point, you need to choose it, if the events completely coincide, and the ratings are approximately the same.

Criterion number 3. Suitable line

To implement a certain strategy or just get the most out of the game, you need to have a sufficient number of bets.

Before starting cooperation with a certain bookmaker, you need to necessarily study the line offered to him, an indicator of its width, as well as the depth of the painting.

It is worth noting that if you want to choose the optimal event, you need to have a sufficient range of bets. This condition is especially relevant for regional matches and sports competitions, as well as when betting on unpopular types of competitions.

The best lines are famous precisely domestic bookmakers , as they know all the preferences of our players, as well as the peculiarities of Russian sports leagues.

Criterion number 4. Available betting limits

Many experienced players do not waste time on small things, especially if they bet on a strategy catch up or Martingale . For them, the opportunity to make a large bet without any problems is especially relevant.

In turn, both small and large bookmakers set certain limits , which significantly restrict the rights of large players who adhere to a certain strategy. That is why it is better to decide in advance on the expected bet sizes and choose an office with the optimal limit.

Criterion number 5. Features of deposit/withdrawal of own and won funds

It should be noted that only large domestic systems allow the player to use everyone popular payment systems.

This question is very important, because it is impossible to endlessly accumulate money on an internal deposit, especially since some offices may have restrictions on the amounts stored by clients. That is why you need to inquire in advance about the opportunity to use one or another method, both to deposit money on an internal deposit, and to withdraw it from it.

Criterion number 6. System of bonuses and promotions

An important factor in attracting customers in the field of bookmakers is all kinds of incentives for both new players and seasoned ones.

Often special bonuses are issued after the very first replenishment of the game deposit, however, there are also such promotions that can also affect regular customers, who also need to be retained in some way.

Thus, considered 6 criteria, thanks to which you can easily choose the best bookmaker for both starting and organizing regular or earning money if you have an appropriate strategy.

Of course, each player himself chooses the most important factors for himself in order to find a suitable site for himself and start his career, neglecting secondary points, which are different for everyone.

Bonus and promotional programs of bookmakers allow a beginner to make their first bet on sports without investing their funds in real money

11. Bookmaker bonuses are a great opportunity to start betting on sports without investing in real money

In order to attract new customers, various sports betting companies develop all sorts of promotions and interesting offers for their visitors. Most of them involve the calculation bonus money on the game deposit or let you try your hand at test mode, evaluating all the charms of the system.

Most often, beginners who have just registered on the bookmaker's website are encouraged, however, there are various promotional offers for regular visitors who have performed certain actions. (for example, did not miss a single match of their favorite team).

To get to know bonus programs various offices, it is enough to find one of the information sites that maintains ratings and accumulates information from betting organizers. Thanks to such resources, you can always stay up to date with all kinds of promotions and not miss the opportunity to get money for free to play on one of the sites.

Types of betting bonuses

So, there are several types of bonuses, which we will now consider:

1. Welcome gifts. They often consist in issuing a certain amount to the game deposit of a new user who has just registered. At the same time, bonuses in this case can be issued both for the first replenishment and for the process of creating an account itself. In the second case, you can start betting without investments. At the same time, it is worth noting that "welcome amount" always depends on a number of factors: from the deposit currency, from the chosen method of depositing money, the amount of the first replenishment, etc.
2. Regular bonuses for regular players. Many bookmakers encourage their clients with experience accrual of a certain amount on the main or special additional deposit, from which they cannot be withdrawn, but can spend on bets. In this case, incentive gifts can be both a coincidence with some events, and be a reward for certain actions of a better (player).
3. Not cash bonuses. In this case, the bookmaker’s office credits the person’s special account with branded points . When a certain amount is accumulated, the player will be able to use it to, for example, exchange for money, bets or certain prizes.

How to get bonuses at bookmakers?

The actions that need to be taken to credit the bonus funds to the internal deposit were described earlier when considering the classification of possible promotional events. This immediately raises the question: But how to use the donated money? Can they be taken out?

Often, which is especially true for registration bonuses, it is simply impossible to use the amount accrued for creating an account. Most often, the condition of the bookmaker is the use of donated funds as event betting , whose coefficient is not less than 1,5 , i.e. this will not be the most probable outcome, which means that the office itself will not lose much, because the probability of a player winning is small.

Some bookmakers give bonuses to regular customers, stipulating the fact that they will have to repeatedly take advantage of the chosen funds, even if you make any bets you wish, before withdrawing the money.

Thus, to start your career as a handicapper and plunge into the world of sports betting, it is not necessary to have a large amount of money on hand. In most cases, it is enough to find the bookmaker with the highest welcome bonus. The larger the amount of the gift, the more reliable and popular this office is, since it can afford such ways to attract new customers.

Of course, credited bonuses can most often be spent only for bets, that is, it cannot be withdrawn from the system, but this is even for the better, because it becomes possible to try some strategy with real finance.

12. Frequently asked questions about sports betting

People who have never dealt with sports betting certainly have a lot of questions about this topic. Next, we will try to answer the most common of them.

Question 1. What is a handicap in sports betting?

Handicap bets are considered one of the most popular types of sports bets made with bookmakers. What are they?

Bookmakers use this tool when the advantage of one of the meeting teams or athletes in individual competitions is beyond doubt. Naturally, there are few people who want to bet against the favorite in this situation.

To increase the interest of players in such events, and is used handicap , or otherwise - virtual advantage , which the weaker participant receives before the start of the competition, expressed in seconds, goals, games or points, depending on the sport. Thus, initially the chances of rivals are equalized.

Note: Interestingly, the handicap is applied not only by bookmakers. In Soviet times, at the dawn of development game types sports, she called handicap, was used in real competitions for the country's bandy and football cup.

Then even amateur teams could participate in these tournaments, and the seeding was “blind” from the very first stages. Sometimes, due to the handicap, little-known teams climbed quite high in the grid.

How does a handicap bet play?

First of all, you need to learn that there are two types of odds: positive And negative . For clarity, it is best to take football example, the rules of which are understood by almost everyone.

To meet teams CSKA And Arsenal, bookmakers offer to bet with a handicap F1 equal to -1,5 for the first team and F2 equal to +1,5 for the second team.

This means that a plus handicap bet will win if Arsenal lose no more than two goals. Accordingly, in order for the F1 reverse bet to win, CSKA must win by scoring two goals more than the opponent.

How to quickly calculate a bet with a handicap?

The calculation of this type of rates is not particularly difficult. The main thing to remember is that negative handicap is given favorite, but positive outsider and do not confuse it by filling out the BC coupon. So, for the match of the French Premier League between Monaco and Lille, bookmakers offered to bet with a handicap -3 to Monaco and +3 to Lille.

The game ended with the result 4:2 . Handicappers who placed a bet F1, lost, because you need to subtract the handicap from the really scored goals. Thus, 4:2 becomes 1:2 .

Players who bet on F2 on the contrary, they won. Real defeat of Lille with a score 2:4 , given the added handicap, was a virtual victory 5:4 . It should be noted that if Monaco wins with a score 5:2 or any other outcome, with a positive difference of three goals, the final virtual result would be draw. In such situations, the bet is returned to the player.

Features of betting with odds on tennis

In tennis, unlike football, it is not goals that bring victory, but sets won. They, in turn, consist of games, or rally balls on the pitch of opponents. In the vast majority of competitions, the match goes until one of the athletes wins two sets.

Here you can bet with a handicap both to win in sets and in games. In the second case, the game scores for the entire match are summed up.

Yes, recently Svetlana Kuznetsova won the tournament Yaroslav Shvedov with an account 6:4 6:3 . The total for the games will be 12:7 . By adding or subtracting the value of the handicap, it is not difficult to determine whether the selected bet has played or not.

Betting with a handicap on the number of games won is very interesting. After all, even if the player on whom you bet with a negative handicap loses, you can still win.

For instance , the bet is placed on the favorite with the F1 handicap equal to -2.5, but he is inferior to the opponent in three sets 6:0 6:7 4:6. She will still play, thanks to the big difference in the score of the first third of the match. It is especially interesting to make this type of bet on the games of four Grand Slam tournaments, where you need to take three sets from your opponent to win.

What does it mean if the handicap is 0

In bookmaker lines, you can find bets with a handicap, the value of which is equal to zero. This is a kind of bet with insurance. If a regular bet is placed on a team that will eventually lose or draw the match, the handicapper's money goes to the bookies. In this case, with a draw, bet on zero handicap the amount is returned to the player.

What can you bet on with a handicap

Bookmakers offer to bet with a handicap not only on the scores of matches, halves, periods, thirds and games, but also on a lot of other statistical indicators.

Here are just the most popular types of such bets:

• The number of yellow and red cards in football, fouls in basketball, deletions in hockey;
• Number of passes and corners;
• Percentage of puck face-offs and ball possession won in a match;
• The number of shots on goal in football, shots on target in hockey and basketball baskets.

The calculation of the listed and other rates of this type is made by simple addition or subtraction numerical value handicap indicated in the line.

Types of handicaps

Bookmakers use two types of handicaps, which differ in the way they calculate winnings. It will be useful to dwell on each of them in more detail.

Asian Handicap. This type of bet with a handicap is used by most bookmakers and looks like: -2.5; -one; +1.5; +2. To calculate it, the handicap value is added to the final result of the game or, conversely, it is subtracted. Such a bet will play both if the selected team wins, and in the event of a draw.

For example, for handicap in -2 , it is enough for the favorite club on which the bet is placed to win 4:2 or with a more significant difference. Accordingly, a score of 3:2 will turn into a virtual result of 1:2 and will bring a loss.

European Handicap. This type of betting with a handicap provides a different method of calculation. Its fundamental difference from the Asian handicap is no draws .

That is, in order to bet with a handicap -2 played, the team for which it was made must win by a margin more 2 balls. With a score of 4:2, a virtual draw is recorded, and the bet money goes to the bookmakers. In fact, a bet of -2 in the European Handicap corresponds to a bet of -2.5 in the Asian Handicap.

There are no other differences between these types of odds. Be careful when filling out bookmaker coupons and carefully study the rules of the bookmaker with which you bet. Then everything will be all right.

Question 2. What is live sports betting?

Live betting (also at bookmakers you can find the name In-play bets) - this is a direction of the game in the bookmaker that allows you to make in-match bets .

The coefficients in this case vary depending on the situation on the sports ground (stadium).

Earnings on live betting can be unlimited, but here you need to be well versed in the sport and have great experience bets before the start of the match.

Question 3. How to place bets (play) on the sweepstakes?

The very first rule of a novice player- the collected bank must be available at any time. At the same time, the money in it should not be borrowed or withdrawn from the family budget, so that in case of a loss (and this also happens absence experience) I didn’t have to look for alternative sources with which you can pay off your debts, getting into new ones.

After sizing bankroll(starting capital) need to go to determining the rate. It is best not to resort to catch-up or progressive betting strategies (like the Martingale technology).

1. fixed percentage of starting capital (for example, if the original bank was 10 thousand rubles, then you can stop at 5%, that is, 500 rubles);
2. a fixed percentage of the available in-game finances(over time, when the first incomes come, the rate will automatically increase, since the absolute value of the same 5% will increase).

Among other things, don't forget about detailed study of each sporting event, periodic repetition of the rules of a particular sport, as well as keeping records of own funds.

In spite of everything, it is necessary to adhere to the intended strategy, even if you fail and want to win back by placing a bet more than previously agreed.

Question 4. How to choose a sports betting strategy with minimal risk?

For a beginner who has just stepped on thorny path a handicapper, first of all, you need to decide what he wants to achieve. If the task is several one-time wins with the withdrawal of the bank, then you should use one of the well-known strategies worked out.

When it comes to a systematic game aimed at obtaining a constant income, a much more serious approach to business is required. You have to master tactics and develop an individual strategy, following which you will be able to achieve your goal. To do this, you need to do the first 4 step.

Step 1. Determining the amount of capital

The bank for a serious and systematic game should be large enough. Wins alternate with losses, so it will create a certain margin of safety. In addition, the amount of profit depends on the size of the bet. The larger it is, the more solid the win will be.

Professional handicappers use odds ROI to determine the effectiveness of the game. It increases in proportion to the increase in capital.

Experienced players are advised to start with the amount in 100 thousand rubles. But, of course, the first steps can be taken with less money.

Step 2. Choosing a playground for reliability

Handicapers who follow arbitrage betting strategies usually play in several bookmakers accredited in Russia and abroad. For beginners, two or three BCs will be enough for self-realization. They should be selected based on the variety of the line, the value of the coefficients and the maximum size of the limits on bets.

On the network you can find several dozen bookmakers offering to bet on sports. In principle, you can play any of them, however, there are nuances.
