How much can you earn on bets? We destroy myths. Sports betting: how to make money, strategies and schemes, types of bets and choosing a bookmaker The best ways to make money on bets

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

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

Earning principle

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

Let's say football teams meet among themselves - "Gaztorg" and "Kramatorets" (the names are fictitious). The first is at the top of the standings, the second is closer to its bottom. Accordingly, there is a high probability that Gaztorg will win this match as well, since Kramatorets plays frankly weaker. The coefficient mainly depends on the statistical data and slightly - on the news before the match regarding this fight.

Initially, bookmakers offered only one option for placing bets - before the start of the match. Now, when modern technologies have stepped far ahead, it is possible to make forecasts in live mode (eng. “live broadcast”), that is, right in the course of the event.

How to choose an office?

For the right choice, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

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

The line is the number of matches that you can bet on. There are bookmakers where the number of matches is several hundred, and there are those where customers are offered several thousand sports events. Naturally, in this case, the number of available bets can sometimes be 10 thousand or more.

Registration

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

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

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

An important point is the procedure for withdrawing money. If a certain payment system is not supported (for example, Yandex.Money), you will have to register foreign electronic wallets (Payoneer, Neteller, PerfectMoney, and so on). Already from them you can fully withdraw your earned funds. It would seem that nothing complicated, but in this way you increase the cost of commissions when transferring.

What sport to choose?

The most common question among beginner cappers. The office makes bets on several dozen sports. There are also non-traditional offers related to events in culture, politics and even TV shows.

For the correct selection of a particular type of species, we recommend that you be guided by the following tips:

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

Work algorithm, types of rates

All offices offer their users an identical algorithm of work. You need to select an event and then enter the amount of money. After confirming the bet, the selected amount of money will be debited from your account.

If you guess the outcome of the match, the money will be returned back, but at the same time you will receive a profit, the amount of which depends on the coefficient. For example, if you bet $100 on a tennis player to win a match with odds of 1.32, you will win $132 ($32 profit). If the event is not guessed, $100 is not returned. But this does not always happen. More on that below.

Now let's get acquainted with the types of bets:

• Handicap. There are three types - zero, with minus and plus. The handicap itself is the difference between goals conceded and goals/points scored. Let's imagine that the giants of Spanish football - Barcelona and Real Madrid - meet on the field. Let's consider each handicap option separately:
  • By putting a handicap (0) on the first team, you will win if the score is 1:0, 2:0, 2:1 and so on. If the team loses, the bet will be considered lost. But in case of a draw, the deposit will be returned to you.
  • By placing a handicap (-1.5) on the first team, the bet will play if Barcelona wins by 2 goals. For example, if the final result is 2:0, 3:0, 3:1 and so on, you get money along with the winnings. If there is a difference of 1 goal or if Barcelona draws/loses, the bet loses. There is no return in this case.
  • Putting a handicap (+1.5) on the second team, to win it is necessary that Real Madrid not lose by 2 goals, draw or win. If the score is 3:1, 4:2, 2:0 and so on, you lose.
• 1, 2, x1, x2, x. In this case, everything is simple. The number "1" indicates the victory of the first team, "2" - the second. "x1" is a bet at which you get a win even if the first team draws. She will lose only if the first team concedes to the second. Similarly, with the “x2” bet, only here we are talking about the second team. The symbol "x" without a number means that the bet will play only if a draw is recorded in the match.
• Lives and line. "Live" is a bet that can be placed during the event. The line shows matches that can only be bet on before they start. In live events, the odds are usually lower, because with every minute, point or goal, the probability of betting increases. Although you can raise good amounts by betting on an outsider and hoping that he will turn the tide of the fight.
• Singles and Express. These are types of bets that differ in the number of matches that you can bet on. The ordinary consists only of a forecast for one event, the express consists of two or more. In the latter option, the odds are multiplied - placing, for example, 3 bets on matches with odds of 1.50, 1.47 and 1.32, in the end you get a final odds of 2.91.

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

Is it worth buying fixed matches and predictions?

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

Communities really thrive on social networks, in which predictions are posted in the public domain, and in order to receive bets with the maximum pass, their purchase is offered. The amounts can be different - from 1 to 20 thousand rubles. However, it is recommended to refrain from such purchases. There are several reasons for this:

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

As far as so-called "match-fixing" is concerned, such information is usually not shared with anyone. If someone assures that he has any connections with the management of the clubs or uses other schemes, be sure that these are ordinary scammers posing as business people.

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

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

Remember: There are no 100% guaranteed win strategies.. There are only those who give a result as close as possible to one hundred percent. One of them is "catch-up". It is ideal for tennis betting. Let's consider a specific case.

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

• The first game is served by the 1st player, the coefficient for winning the game by the second player is 4. The bet is 5 rubles. Lost.
• The second game, the 2nd player serves, the coefficient for winning the game by the first player is 2.25. The bet is 10 rubles. Lost.
• The third game, the 1st player serves, the coefficient for winning the game by the second player is 3.90. The bet is 20 rubles. Lost.
• The fourth game, the 2nd player serves, the coefficient for winning the game by the first player is 2.41. The rate is 40 rubles. Won.

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

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

Common mistakes

The most common mistakes include the following:

• lack of discipline, desire to recoup quickly;
• the desire to get a million and a hundred in just a couple of days;
• trust in "false forecasters" who inspire their clients that the win is guaranteed;
• regular betting on the victory of your favorite team;
• registration of "random" rates, information about which was not analyzed.

How much can you earn and is it realistic?

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

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

Video about bid analysis

The video below provides a detailed story on how to properly analyze football matches:

We bring to your attention a selection of the most successful players who have achieved impressive results in sports betting. All five professionals have become famous for their approach to the game, analytical mindset and, of course, loud skids.

Tony Bloom

Bloom rose to fame through his successful poker game. It is called the "phenomenon" of poker. Tony Bloom's longtime friend gave him the nickname "lizard", claiming that cold alligator blood flows in Bloom's veins.

His first big win dates back to 2004 when Bloom won the Australian Poker Championship for around $320,000. Further more. The very next year, Bloom celebrated his victory at the London No Limit Hold'em Poker tournament. Believe me, he had something to treat his friends to: the prize money amounted to 351 thousand 400 US dollars.

Also, Tony Bloom was a member of the team from the UK, which managed to win the prestigious Poker Nations Cup tournament. The amount of his total winnings by 2008 was more than one and a half million dollars.

However, Tony Bloom's activities in gambling are not limited to poker, otherwise he would not be here. Many, I think, watched the film directed by D.J. Caruso "Money for two". Tony Bloom owns the exact same company, Star Lizard, which analyzes sports events and accepts money from wealthy investors and multiplies it on sports bets.

The minimum investment for a Star Lizard client is £2 million. The company makes bets on all the leagues of the world, placing them with Asian bookmakers, which accept tens of millions of dollars for one big game, unlike large British companies. Tony Bloom's staff includes mathematicians who develop algorithms for predicting outcomes, specialists in statistics, analysis of football trends and those who place bets. At the same time, less than 5 people in the company see the whole picture and know how much to invest and at what rates this or that analysis is carried out.

According to rumors, the fortune of Tony Bloom is more than 1 billion British pounds. What should an Englishman who loves sports and has money do? Own a football team. If Bob Vulgaris has not yet managed to fulfill his childhood dream, then in 2009 Tony Bloom became president of the Brighton & Hove Albion football club, which now plays in the Championship.

“I have been into football and cards since I was seven or eight years old. My interest in these two sports developed in parallel,” Tony Bloom repeatedly noted in interviews with various publications.

Joe Peta

We can say that Joe Peta began to bet on sports out of desperation. He was walking to work when he was hit by an ambulance. A few weeks after he returned to work in a wheelchair, the company fired him. Peta left Wall Street, but did not give up. It was this series of personal tragedies that began the journey from stockbroker to professional baseball bettor.

According to Peta himself, betting on baseball is much easier.

“Baseball games are easier to simulate. It's just a series of single confrontations. In American football, there can be many outcomes, but in baseball it is very difficult to go against the statistics. Randy Johnson has eliminated 34% of batters regardless of name or regalia."

The Joe Peta Model predicted how a team would perform in a season based on previous player performances and buffs teams had made. To develop it, he used the sabermetric research of Bill James, the father of this science. Sabermetrics is an empirical analysis of baseball, specifically baseball statistics, that measures in-game performance.

Maybe fate began to pay his debts, because in the first year of using this model, the profit was 41%.

“It's all about research. Hard work gives you an advantage over other players, which then starts working for you.”

In 2012, Peta's profit was only 13%, and he gave up sports betting.

“Profit for 2012 was 13 percent or $260,000. I agree that this is a tidy sum, but most of it belonged to investors. My share was at best 50 thousand. 23-year-old guys may be happy with so much money in their pockets, but you must admit that for a married 40-year-old man with several children, this is not enough. I'm glad I was able to get this two year experience, but I don't belong in the world of betting anymore."

Joe Peta currently works as a Managing Director at the Novus consulting company.

Bob Vulgaris

Voulgaris' star was lit when he made a considerable fortune by taking advantage of the "holes" in the bookmakers' lines. Bookmakers at that time, determining the total points for each NBA game, simply divided it equally. Voulgaris immediately noticed this miscalculation and began to earn money, turning 80 thousand US dollars into one million in just two years.

However, the bookmakers covered up this “loophole” by starting to pay more attention to the lines.

As Voulgaris began to lose, he needed a revolutionary forecasting model that could provide unparalleled accuracy.

It took Vulgaris and his partner, the mathematician-programmer "Trickster", about two years to do this. The model was named "Ewing" - in honor of the "Ewing theory", the author of which is considered the famous American journalist Bill Simmons.

“I don't want to brag, of course, but this program is the greatest achievement in the world of sports betting,” Voulgaris said.

In 2013, their lead over the bookmakers began to rapidly fade, and Voulgaris admitted that the winning streak could not last forever.

Now Voulgaris is fond of poker and continues to bet on NBA matches, but without the same passion. His dream is to become the general manager of an NBA team.

Bill Walters

Bill Walters is considered by many to be the biggest sports betting player in the world. He has a huge team of programmers who supply him with information, which he first analyzes and then starts betting. According to the bookmakers, he bets several hundred thousand US dollars every weekend.

Walters is also known for being the originator of the model, which used information to provide predictions for football matches. For this, by the way, he was charged with "illegal betting activities."

Of course, he did not bypass other gambling games. For example, in 1986, Bill Walters won the Amarillo Slim Poker Super Bowl. He also won $3.8 million playing roulette at a Las Vegas casino. Rumor has it that after that, the management of the gambling establishment sent the roulette to NASA so that space experts tried to find a flaw.

According to Bill Walters himself, the first time he lost a large amount of money in ten years.

“I saved up money delivering newspapers. I was ten years old. The grocery store owner in our town was a baseball fan. His name was Woody Branstedder and he was a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I had about thirty dollars. I bet them all on the New York Yankees beating the Dodgers. It was a painful feeling of emptiness that appeared when I lost all the money, ”recalls Bill Walters.

Now it is difficult to imagine that this feeling will be repeated in him. Bill Walters owns six golf courses, which, by the way, he also enjoys, a hotel, several industrial enterprises and a lot of land.

“If you value something at ten dollars, then you need to buy it for eight and sell it for twelve. It doesn't matter if it's business or the last bet."

Vasu Shan

Vasu Shan, who was first revealed by Bleacher Report, literally lives off the money he wins from betting.

Vasu Shan spends eight hours a day working on various formulas that help him determine the rankings for football teams. If his calculations turn out to be wrong, the family suffers. Shang has a thirteen-year-old daughter, two preschool-age sons, and a pregnant wife. Agree that it is difficult to support such a family.

Vasu Shan turned pro at 35. At the beginning of the season, he usually makes 100 bets a week, in the order of £10,000 each. As his rating for the football season gets closer to the optimal mark, the amount of bets increases to 50 thousand pounds each.

“When you make a rating, you need to pay special attention to individual players. This is greatly hindered by the transitions of the players. When Angel di Maria moved to Manchester United, I had a lot of respect for Louis van Gaal's team. However, then she drew with Burnley, and I returned them to their original place. We need to stay sober and not overestimate the chances of a team that signs good players. Professional bettors have no room for error,” says Vasu Shan.

Do you want to make money on bets and learn all the most important things about this type of business? Then this article is for you! This is Denis Kuderin, business expert of the PAPA HELP project.

I personally know several people for whom sports betting is not a hobby and not a way to increase the degree of excitement when watching a match, but a full-fledged income. More precisely - investments with good returns.

These guys don't go to work, don't try to please their bosses, and don't count the days until vacation because they pay their own wages. I won't say how much profit they have because you just won't believe me. Let me just say that it is several times higher than the average salary in the country, although less predictable.

Stay tuned - lots of interesting things are waiting for you!

Betting is not a lottery. It is not luck that decides here, but cold calculation and self-control

How much do professional players (handicappers) earn on sports betting: an unexpected truth

Friends, I found on the Internet a video from the first channel about making money 3-5 million rubles PER MONTH on sports betting. A young guy from Kazan, Adel Suleimanov, visited the first channel in the program of Alexander Gordon. Starting to work at the age of 12, living in poverty, he became a professional bettor at bookmakers.

Now Adele lives in abundance and helps her family by doing this interesting business:

By the way, this is not the limit in terms of income. Professionals who "do not shine" in the media earn more than 10,000,000 rubles per month!

Below I have compared the traditional business and rates in the table, highlighted their key pros and cons in order to understand what is the best thing to do to make money.

I must say right away that this is my SUBJECTIVE opinion and it may not coincide with yours.

Classic business or sports betting: which is cooler in terms of making money?

Comparison criterion	Traditional business	Earnings on bets
Investment size	Significant(hundreds of thousands and millions of rubles) (+-)	Significant(hundreds of thousands of rubles) for a good profit (+-)
Payback period	Pretty lengthy: from 6 months to 3 years (+-)	From 3 months with the right strategy (+)
Capital loss risk	High. You can quickly lose all your money to zero (-)	High."Playing" you can lower your own and even credit funds (-)
Mobility	Not mobile. Often geographically tied to one place (-)	High mobility. You can bet online from anywhere in the world (+)
Reliability and prospects	Relatively reliable and perspective(with a well-established business) (+-)	Relatively reliable(with the right strategy and well-developed risk management). However, there is a growth limit (+-)

As you can see, in my spreadsheet, stakes seem to be the preferred source of income. But this is not a magic wand and there should be a tendency to this type of activity.

Is it possible to make money on sports betting - the experience of my friend Andrey

A couple of years ago, Andrey earned on one bet, ATTENTION! 6,000,000 rubles.

The rate was long-term, on the championship of the English club in the Premier League of this country. It was difficult to put such an amount in one company and he had to make diversification- spread the amount for several BCs(bookmakers).

The main conditions for making money on bets are discipline, financial independence, flexibility of thinking and the desire to constantly learn. It was these qualities that he called to me handicapper(professional bettor in a bookmaker's office) Andrey, when I asked him what it takes to be successful in betting.

And most importantly - do not treat bets like in a lottery or roulette. Successful sports predictions depend least of all on luck and intuition, which betting fans call "feel".

Intuition will appear when you "boil" in this boiler years 5-7, or even 10 .

Sports betting is not a gold mine. This is a difficult, risky and dangerous undertaking. Going to the office and getting a stable salary is much easier. A handicapper needs nerves of steel (or other organs), a cool head, the ability to "take a punch" like in boxing.

When, after a month of intense mental work, the result is a minus difference in the “income” column, an experienced forecaster does not give up. He knows that real profits are calculated at a distance from 2 months to a year and calmly follows his strategy.

REMEMBER

Understand sports and make profitable bets for money is two big differences .

Even if you know all the players of the Chinese national team by sight, this does not guarantee success.

A good forecast is only half the battle. Second half - proper financial management and understanding of the principle of forming betting odds. Mathematical education and knowledge of probability theory will come in handy here.

To summarize - what you need to make money on bets:

• several hours a day of free time;
• understanding the specifics of the bookmaker's work;
• starting capital (from 1 000 rubles before 1,000,000 rubles — to reduce risks);
• optimal game strategy;
• the ability to think clearly;
• stress tolerance;
• competent financial management;
• desire to learn.

A professional always calculates the degree of risk and does not bet blindly. Moreover, some bettors use the weapons of bookmakers - software for calculating statistics and calculating probabilities.

How much do beginners earn on bets

If you read online reviews of real people about making money on sports events, you will be disappointed. Beginners lose to smithereens and curse bookmakers with bad words.

But do not rush to draw final conclusions.

The fact is that such a concept as "earnings", all the more stable, is not very applicable to the bookmaker's business. Rather, the term is more appropriate here "profit from turnover" (ROI) like in the investment business. Here everything is about the same as on the stock exchange: you invest money and after a while you get (or do not get) a profit.

What indicators are considered successful? Major players believe that the indicator more than 5% per month – undeniable success.

Beginners are unlikely to be able to boast of such a profit.

You can consider yourself a beginner, or you can consider yourself a beginner PROFESSIONAL. How do you like it better?

I can assure you

The first months in bets are just a “shooting point”. It is incorrect and meaningless to judge the return on investment for this period of time. The pros say "distance is everything". And the betting distance is at least a year.

But this does not mean that all newcomers are doomed to fail. You will get a small plus, or at least stay on your own, if you choose a moderate strategy and do not begin to win back in case of losses.

Another condition for success is to choose reliable office operating legally. The fact is that a significant part of the betting shop on the network operates without a license established by Russian law. By cooperating with such companies, you bet at your own peril and risk - you have no guarantee of the return of winnings, and there is nowhere to go in disputable situations.

Why does the bookmaker always have the advantage at a distance? It's simple - math works for him.

Bookies offer bets on thousands of events every day. Even the third football leagues do not escape their all-seeing eye. And for each such event, a coefficient is set - a probability indicator calculated by a computer.

Odds are the cornerstone of betting. If you win, the amount you bet is multiplied by this indicator.

But the trick is that each coefficient has a margin - a kind of Commission , which the office takes for its services. The bookmaker has income for any outcome of the event and acts only as an intermediary between the players who put "for" and those who put "against"

Let's say we have an equally probable event with two outcomes. A basketball match in which the objective odds of the teams are 50/50. But you will never see such odds in the offices: in terms of probabilities, the odds will be approximately 47/47 , or even less. Question: where did they go 6% ? Answer: went into the bookmaker's pocket .

This is far from the only, but the most obvious source of beech income. Other methods are more sophisticated - for example, artificially low odds to encourage betting on the opposite outcome .

It is not easy to beat the bookmakers margin. Even if you guess 55% of bets with odds close to 2, this will only allow you to stay on your own. Although it is quite possible to hit the jackpot in one single match. But we are interested in stable, not one-time income.

Beginners with decent sums are the bookmaker's bread and butter. In the following sections, I will explain how players can increase their chances and give an overview of working strategies.

TOP 5 proven ways and strategies to make money on bets - chips and secrets for beginners and experienced players

We are interested in really profitable and reasonable strategies. They are few, but they work. Successful players I've talked to have tried them firsthand.

With any of the strategies below, you can place a bet online through a reliable bookmaker.

There are no bad strategies, there are bad strategies!

Strategy No. 0 "Maximum profit, minimum risk"

It is also called betting arbitrage. In this way, professionals earn up to 100 000 rubles IN A DAY ! Its essence is very simple, read below:

You open three bookmakers: Asian, world and Russian. Compare the quotes of these 3 offices and if the total odds for all possible outcomes imply profit, then bet, if not, do not bet.

On average, the percentage of profitability of such arbitrage transactions is from 1% to 1.5%, if you place a bet before the start of the match, and 3-5% , if you bet during the match.

With an average bet of 20 000 rubles, it will give you profit 1000-1500 rubles from one "hit" of ONE BET. You can make 10-20 of them per match.

Conclusion: a good "arbitrator" can earn 30-100 tr. per day.

But there is one caveat here:

bookmakers know this technology and some "very lucky" players are paid out their money only once when they win. This does not mean that they take the rest for themselves. It’s just that the next time the bookmaker may refuse you to place a bet at home.

Method 1. Game analytics

What is a qualitative match analysis? First of all, this accounting for non-obvious factors. Why not obvious? It's simple - all the obvious factors were taken into account and included in their odds by bookmakers. In their arsenal is the most powerful computer technology worth millions of dollars.

By the premiere, one familiar "private" uses a paid resource, which publishes up-to-date data from the infirmaries of football clubs. If the team's leading scorer kicking leg hurts- it's already reason to doubt the correctness of the set coefficients.

The statistics are relentless: 90-95% BC players lose their money. The vast majority treat betting as fun. Meanwhile, only a competent and complete analysis of the upcoming event greatly increases the chances of success.

Are there any advantages for the average player? Don't panic: yes! The handicapper does not need to analyze all the matches in a row. He selects individual events and only those about which he has collected all the information - both accessible and inaccessible.

Others use personal blogs of players and their pages in social networks. Finding info online is not a problem. The whole point is to interpret it correctly.

Method 2. Forks

But this strategy is more reasonable and not at all utopian. Its essence is extremely simple - you bet on the opposite outcomes of events in different offices in such a way that in any case the bets give a plus.

Are forks working today? Big question...

Just a few years ago, the arbers were flourishing. They used simple programs to track surebets and cashed in on every bet. Now there are fewer and fewer surebets: offices constantly monitor them and quickly eliminate them if they occur.

Surebets often live for several seconds, and players simply do not have time to bet. In addition, such marques are on the black lists of bookmakers. Often their limits are cut or their accounts are blocked altogether.

Method 3. Catching up

In theory, this is a win-win strategy, but extremely dangerous. It is practiced only by confident players with a solid game bank. The bottom line is a progressive increase in the amount of each bet, depending on the outcome of the previous bet.

Simply put, you raise rates until we return the money with interest (doubling the rate). Catching up is based on the player's belief that no series lasts forever. And indeed it is. Another question is whether the player has enough money for the next doubling of the amount.

Fans of progressive strategies should keep in mind the parable about the padishah and the sage.

Remember: on the first chess square the padishah put one grain of rice, on the second - twice as much, on the third - twice more, and so on. Already after the first tens of cells, it became clear that the country's entire grain reserve would not be enough to fulfill the condition of the task.

Method 4. Betting on underestimated events

Strategy Value Betting was once considered a kind of philosopher's stone of players. Everyone knew that in the bookmaker's line there was a "value" - an underestimated event, for which an incorrect coefficient was set. By placing bets on them, the player ended up in the black.

Value bets are usually bets on underdogs (i.e. outsiders) with high odds.

Conditional example

Barcelona plays with Rubin from Kazan. 99% of fans and even bettors are confident in the outcome of the match - "Barca will tear it in their field." In BC, the corresponding coefficient. But the "valuers" calculate the probabilities and calculate that the beeches have incorrectly estimated the outsider's victory. And they bet on Rubin's victory, no matter how wild it looks. As a result, Rubin wins and the payouts are 20 to 1, or even more.

I made these bets myself. and I can confirm that Great Danes win more often than you think.

Method 5. Buying predictions

Be careful: there are a huge number of scammers on the network who trade forecasts. Finding a truly honest and at the same time profitable forecaster is even more difficult than making a competent forecast yourself.

But if you have the money, time and desire, you will definitely find resources that employ decent and professional forecasters. I will not advertise them, except that in personal correspondence I can give a link.

How to bet online - choose a reliable bookmaker

If you have never bet in a bookmaker, this section will guide you in choosing a bookmaker.

Betting via the Internet has become popular in our country for a long time, it is convenient and profitable. You can play right from home.

But let's clarify what criteria a betting company must meet in order to work with it reliably and clearly.

• Firstly, the company must be on the market for several years.
• Secondly, she must have a good image among the players.
• Thirdly, odds on sporting events should be profitable.

I play myself through this this trusted bookmaker. My friends have been working with him for more than three years and during this time there were no complaints.

Answers to frequently asked questions

And now the answers to the most pressing questions of beginners. Be sure to study this section, for sure you are interested in the same topics.

Question 1. Where and how long do you need to study in order to make successful bets? Artem, 27 years old, Pyatigorsk

Alas, there are no educational institutions that teach the basics of playing with a bookmaker. However, at the disposal of each newcomer - terabytes of information on the Internet. First you will read everything, then you will learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

And yes, you have to keep learning. Bookmakers are developing all the time, and bettors (players) who do not keep up with them go into the red.

Question 2. How much per annum can I earn on bets? (Viktor, 41 years old, Krasnodar)

Return on invested capital during the year (ROI) in 10-25% per annum- This is an indicator of quite successful players, and even then not every year. You will be right if you say that there are more profitable investments - for example, in securities.

Yes, stocks are a more reliable and predictable instrument. But everyone is engaged in what the soul lies in - some stock trading, others - sports betting.

Question 3. What types of bets are the most profitable? Lyudmila, 28 years old, Moscow

The answer is - thoughtful. And those that correspond to the competent financial strategy of the player.

There is such a thing as risk management or money management - the correct management of investors' capital. The basic principles of which are: do not "invest" all the money in one sporting event: split the amount for betting into parts . Also, don't get euphoric trying to earn even more quickly if you win a good amount.

The more money you have, the less risk you can take (lose at a time).

Question 4. Are there win-win sports betting strategies? Ivan, 32, Novosibirsk

I partially answered this question in one of the previous sections. If such strategies really worked in full force, bookmakers would have gone bankrupt long ago.

However, there are strategies that can minimize the risk of loss. But everything in this life is interconnected and in rates too: the more you risk, the more you earn. But if your prediction turned out to be wrong, get ready to lose a lot.

There are no win-win strategies and guaranteed methods of making money on bets!

Question 5. A friend offers me to become his investor, to give 500,000 rubles to the management for “scrolling” on rates. Is it worth it? Dmitry, 36 years old, Omsk

First, study its profitability indicators, strategy. It will not be superfluous to ask for guarantees (deposit) in case of loss of your money. Take an interest in the number of bets already made and the distance.

If he earns on bets for more than 2 years, then you can trust him with money and then with great care. I remind you that positive results can be summed up no earlier than one year from the moment the player begins to engage in this activity.

Question 6. Is it possible to make money on bets online or is it a complete scam on the Internet? Maxim, 29 years old, Serpukhov

Realistically, if you get into the 5% of profitable players. This is not a matter of luck, but a matter of painstaking and hard work. Now many people place bets via the Internet, as it is convenient.

But here it is important to choose a proven bookmaker and work with him for a long time.

Question 7. How and on what do bookmakers make money? Victor, 24 years old, Vladivostok

On the margin (commission) from each bet and manipulating the opinion of the players. In a general sense, a handicapper's win is a betting company's loss and vice versa.

But your main opponent is not the bookmaker, but you yourself. More precisely, your personal qualities and emotions, which are not easy to cope with. Greed, fear, hope and other "helpers" can get in your way, even if a good strategy is chosen. Work on yourself!

Things to remember for beginner handicappers:

1. Play according to a proven strategy, use the rules of money management.
2. Do not blindly trust public opinion.
3. Do not bet based on intuition.
4. Consider odds when placing bets.
5. Engage in self-education and development of volitional qualities.
6. Work in a narrow niche, do not spray.
7. Bet in reliable offices with a legal status.

And now some more strategic advice from betting expert Adel Suleymanov:

Instead of a conclusion

All successful players have their own strategy. Making predictions on a whim and choosing the first match that comes across is not an option. Betting requires discipline. But even more discipline is needed in the head of the player.

If you want to bet just for the thrill and the thrill, then high-risk investments are not for you. Gambling addiction (ludomania) is a serious disease that needs to be treated.

For most people, sports betting is entertainment or a way to get an adrenaline rush, but there are also professionals for whom this is the main business and even a way of life. These guys earn tens of thousands of dollars a month and at the same time they do not have a bunch of employees and other "hemorrhoids" inherent in the classic business.

At the very beginning of the article, anticipating lengthy discussions, I will answer - it is definitely possible to make money on bets. How much you can earn, what strategy to use, what sports to bet on - all these and many other questions will be answered in detail in this article.

To begin with, any occupation that brings profit requires certain qualities and efforts from a person. You should not consider making money on bets as simple and affordable. Unfortunately, the vast majority of bettors find themselves in the red in the long run, opposing bookmakers. Only a few out of hundreds or even thousands manage to receive a stable income from sports betting. This suggests that the betters' bread is by no means simple and usually everything is stacked against the player. There is even a saying: “Betting is the hardest way to easy money”. I would not say at all that there is easy money in bets, in the context of one day - maybe, but in the “long term” - this is really hard work, like everyone else.

It is very important to distinguish between short-term gain and long-term earnings. In the first case, by making a dozen bets, you can multiply your bank many times over, achieving a fantastic payback on your bets. But this is not about making money. In a short space of time, anything can happen. Earnings mean a long process, as a result of which the client of the bookmaker's office has a constant stable income. It is very difficult to achieve the latter, because the essence of bookmakers is to leave the player without money in the long run. So, if you want to really earn money, then you must have a clear idea of ​​​​how much profit you can receive from bets. The announced figure may disappoint and repel many, but it will also warn against reckless financial losses of overly dreamy characters.

Profit per year of about 50% is an excellent indicator. However, the amount of possible profit is inextricably linked with risks.

Therefore, by increasing the riskiness of the game strategy, you can achieve higher numbers. You can play with large amounts, which will significantly increase the possible profit, but at the same time, the probability of losing the entire pot increases. In order for the profit from betting to be tangible, the pot must be very impressive and therefore the probability of losing it completely is a serious threat.

How to start earning consistently?

Some may wonder, if everything is so bad and only a small part of people beat the bookmaker, then why do people play, carry their money to betting shops or replenish electronic accounts of bookmakers through TsUPIS. If the profit is not so great, and the statistics speak against the player, then what is the point? In fact, everything is simple.

People are driven by excitement, they are ready to part with money for the exciting feelings of winning, and they are not bothered by defeats if they are followed by pleasant victories. They consciously or unconsciously refuse to fulfill certain requirements in order to make a profit from bets, because it loses excitement, it's boring, it does not bring rabid emotions. This turns into a banal calculation, in which emotions must be pushed into the background.

This alignment suits few people, because people find emotional nourishment, drive, a certain adrenaline in bets. Exchanging all this for a stable profit that slowly accumulates from month to month is all completely uninteresting and players leave money in bookmakers, spreading the opinion that it is impossible to make money in bookmakers, and if there are loopholes, then the so-called " forks”, which in many bookmakers are dishonest.

To start earning stable bets, pull yourself together and approach the matter with a sober mind. This is work, not entertainment. Do not seek instant enrichment. It still won't work. Once you are confident and ready to start properly, move on to the initial steps. It's like primary school, without which it is impossible to start a long journey. It may seem like nonsense, but take it seriously.

The Internet is an inexhaustible source of knowledge. If you wish, you can find a lot of useful information. The specialists of our site have not only collected valuable materials in one place, but also share their own experience, because they constantly play in bookmakers. And successfully.

First of all, understand the terminology, notation and types of bets. We have a lot of useful sections, and if you suddenly can not find the answer to the question - write in the comments. We will definitely answer or prepare a voluminous material.

For a general understanding of betting, I recommend watching movies and reading books on this topic. Draw knowledge from various sources. Become a sponge for the first time, but with a filter - absorb only useful information. You understand the essence, so let's finish the reasoning and move on to the specifics.

How to make money on sports betting?

So, it was said that the players could be in the black if they adhered to certain rules. These are some very simple rules that will lead to player success:

Find value bets

This is the cornerstone of sports betting. This is the main task of the player and it is due to value bets that it is possible to win. In order to find such rates, it is necessary to be able to estimate the approximate probabilities of an event.

For a beginner, this is incredibly difficult. He will often be wrong, and his bets will often not have an edge due to an incorrect assessment of the probabilities of the event. In order to make accurate predictions, of course, you need to understand the sport for which predictions are made. In this sport, one should have both the necessary theoretical knowledge and hundreds or thousands of hours of watching sporting events. This requires experience.

However, people who have been interested in sports for a long time usually have enough experience to predict the probabilities of events. In addition to the sports component, it is important to be aware of how the betting business functions. You need to know what margin is, where the Kelly criterion is used and why.

Stick to an effective bidding strategy

The betting strategy defines the rules by which you will make decisions about the choice of event, bet size, bankroll. There are strategies that, from a mathematical point of view, are the most effective. If you do not deviate from the basic principles and strictly follow the principles, then the element of randomness will be minimized as much as possible.

Have a monthly high turnover rate

It is very difficult. Because you need to find bets with a good advantage, which will bring profit. Quality can suffer when trying to increase the number of bets. You need to increase the turnover of bets for one simple reason - this, again, minimizes the impact of randomness on your profit. The larger the turnover, the smaller the statistical error. If you exist on the income from betting, then you should not allow the confluence of circumstances to leave you without a livelihood. To do this, you need to master new sports, new markets, devote more time to analyzing and finding profitable bets.

Despite the seeming simplicity of these rules, not many players can follow all three. At what it can be seen that the rules are not formulated specifically. Quite relative concepts: a large turnover, an effective strategy, and it is impossible to know for sure whether there is an overweight of the chosen bet. For one simple reason. This requires intuition, "feel", so to speak. This is akin to charisma or entrepreneurial talent. Something that defies description, but the result is visible.

Minimize risks

Betting is a constant risk, so the main task of the bettor is to minimize it. The first step is to save money and only then increase it.

This moment will be well understood by players who managed to play at least a month. Remember how you made a bet with the possibility of a return (whole total or handicap), and she started to lose in live. Now you want at least a refund, not a bet pass. So, sometimes it’s better to refrain from a deal and be guaranteed not to lose, than to make a rash bet and lose money.

How to make money fast for beginners

The method is very simple, but you already know that betting is always a risk, so there are no guarantees. The method is suitable for those who do not have the desire or time to understand betting, or this is simply not your thing.

In this case, two ways are possible: find another kind of activity or invest in rates. How? Trust the professionals, but do not try to give an account for promotion. This is a common deception. Also, don't get fooled by match-fixing. Forewarned is forearmed.

You need to invest your money wisely - buy predictions from experts and bet based on their opinion. Funds are needed not only for purchases, but also for betting. In case of successful predictions, you will earn. Spend part of the money on the next subscription, and withdraw the profit or put it into circulation.

Everything is simple, except for one thing - the search for a source of high-quality forecasts. I can advise you, but the final decision is yours - take a look at the Betfaq service. Their advantage is that there are several dozen forecasters in the team, and the collective opinion is always more correct than one person.

Is it really possible to make money on bets?

In the end, you can draw a line under all of the above. If you feel that you can follow the rules, love sports, and feel in yourself the makings of professional betting, then you certainly have every chance to make money in this occupation. However, for people who want to get rich quickly and easily without investing time and effort, I hope it will become clear after this article that sports betting is not a suitable activity for this.

The main thing to understand is that easy ways to make money are almost impossible to find. It is worth making an effort and demonstrating your knowledge and skills, and then you can achieve something. Otherwise, neither in sports betting, nor in the game of poker, nor in trade, nor in construction will you succeed.

And, of course, you need to understand that you need a reliable bookmaker for normal operation. You can find it at the link.

Sports betting is one of the most popular types of earnings on the Internet, but not many people know. This is what we want to talk about in more detail.
