Fast passage

As soon as beginners get a little familiar with the world of betting, their attention is drawn to a variety of tactics and game systems developed by professionals. One of the first such ways to correctly distribute the bankroll, novice bettors try the d'Alembert strategy. It bears the name of its creator, the great French mathematician and physicist.

Principles and rules of the d'Alembert strategy

The system of an outstanding scientist is a complicated version of Dogon based on algebraic progression. The player is invited to choose a certain fixed amount himself and designate it as a unit. This figure will become the first bet, as well as the step size. In case of loss, the next amount must be increased by this unit and so on, until you win. After winning, the amount of the bet must be reduced by the same amount of the original bet. Events, it is desirable to choose with coefficients of 3 - 4. The larger the odds, the more steps you can take to the bitter end. Let's consider the d'Alembert strategy in more detail using an example.

As part of the prestigious tennis tournament, two famous athletes Rafael Nadal, representing Spain, and Serb Novak Djokovic meet. We will bet on a break in each game for a factor of 3.5. Let's take the amount of 100 rubles for a fixed unit and make the first bet:

Net profit was: 1050 + 1400 - (100 + 200 + 300 + 200 + 300 + 400) = 950 rubles.

Best of all for d'Alembert's strategy are drawn outcomes and bets on taking someone else's serve.

Counter-d'Alembert system

Starting to place bets, each privateer thinks about the plan that he will follow during the conclusion of transactions. When choosing several sports for analysis, it should be remembered that the strategies of the game will vary. On the basis of the famous d'Alembert system, the reverse tactics of the game were invented. Its differences from the original version:

1. When you win a bet, its amount is increased by the size of the original bet.
2. If you lose, its amount decreases accordingly.

Counter d'Alembert example

Let's consider the principle of operation of the counter-d'Alembert system in football. Alaves team plays in the Spanish Premier League, matches with their participation often end in a draw. We will bet on this outcome.

1. Modest Las Palmas came to visit the club, we bet 100 rubles on a coefficient of 3, that the game will end with a draw. The outcome of the meeting: 1:1, our prediction was correct. The winnings amounted to 300 rubles. (net profit 200).
2. According to the system for the next fight, we increase the amount of the bet by a unit equal to 100 rubles. Now Alaves is playing on the road against the middle peasants Eibar Examples. Unexpectedly for many, the match again ends with the world: 0:0. And our bet played again. We are already in the black by 400 rubles.
3. We increase the amount by one more and put 300 rubles on the next game. This time, Alaves hosts the Betis team, which is located at the very bottom of the standings. Predictably, the victory remains with the hosts: 1:0. Our bet is lost. We are in the red by 300 rubles.
4. We reduce the bet by one unit, now its amount is 200 rubles. The next game will take place in Bilbao, where the Alaves team is waiting for the local Athletic. The club once again confirm their propensity for draws. The account is not opened, 0:0. And our rate won, plus 400 rubles of net profit to the bank.

In this particular example, the net profit after four games was:

200 + 400 - 300 + 400 = 700 rubles.

Effectiveness of the d'Alembert and counter-d'Alembert strategy

Above, we looked at examples with a positive outcome of using the system, but does this mean that the strategy is win-win? Unfortunately no. Of course, this tactic has its risks, and should not be used thoughtlessly, relying only on luck.

The main drawback of the strategy is that a long losing streak (more than 6 defeats in a row) does not allow you to get a profit or at least return your money back. Let's look at an example:

So, inspired by the situation described above, we chose the same Alaves team and we will make predictions for a draw with odds of 3, but our bets fell on a different game period.

Now let's calculate whether the last win managed to cover the previous losses:

600 * 3 - (100 + 200 + 300 + 400 + 500 + 600) = -300 rubles.

As a result, we are in the red, and after all, the losing streak could have been longer, then our bank would have lost an even larger amount.

conclusions

By itself, the counter-D'Alembert strategy is ineffective and can drive the player into a significant disadvantage, but using your own brains, statistics and intuition, you can create a completely competitive system based on it. Good luck!

Danish betting strategy

The system got its name in honor of the country where it was used for the first time. Its basic rules are similar to the d'Alembert strategy, but there are also fundamental differences. Let's look at examples of how to use the Danish betting strategy, determine the advantages and disadvantages of it.

The essence of the Danish betting strategy

The Danish betting strategy can essentially be used live, because if you lose the same bet, the odds rise, but not always enough to cover the size of previous losses. The player chooses a fixed amount to start the game with. After each loss, the new bet is increased by the original amount and is considered a step. But that's not all. Not only the amount of the bet increases, but also the coefficient. Let's take a closer look at an example:

After a winning bet, the cycle begins anew. Now let's calculate the net profit:

500 * 3.5 - (100 + 200 + 300 + 400 + 500) \u003d 250 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Danish betting strategy

First, consider the main advantages of the presented system:

• it forgives up to 13 mistakes and allows you to easily get a plus (unlike the same d'Alembert strategy);
• the risk of the amount of the initial bank is much lower than with the usual catch-up with an increase in each subsequent bet twice.

And now the cons:

• if the better did not manage to win in the first few attempts, it will be much more difficult to do this in the future, because. the coefficient is growing inexorably;
• is not win-win, there is a risk of draining the entire bank, in the event of a long series of unsuccessful bets.

Tips for Using the Danish Betting Strategy

Football is best suited for betting on the system, namely (after the first - second attempt) - accumulators from predictable events. These are bets on obvious favorites with odds of 1.2 - 1.4, or a total over 1.5 on teams that score and concede a lot.

The first 4 bets are lost, we need to collect events for a factor of 3.5. We will choose the victory of clear favorites:

Manchester City – Crystal Palace P1 1.35

Granada – Real Madrid P2 1.40

Napoli – Cagliari P1 1.40

Bayern – Darmstadt 1.32

Overall ratio: 3.5

There is a chance that one of the favorites will not be able to defeat the outsider, but it is small. It is all the more difficult to imagine that according to this principle, you can lose 13 accumulator bets in a row.

Conclusion

The Danish strategy has a right to exist, but without additional knowledge it is unlikely to be effective. Pre-match assessment of statistical data and other additional information will allow you to bring the system to perfection and win up to 3-4 rounds of bets without risking impressive amounts.

Kelly criterion

It is almost impossible to earn consistently on bets without using strategies or using only one. Moreover, sports events are very different in their performance and the likelihood of outcomes. In the twentieth century, tactics for winning bets based on mathematical calculations became widespread. In honor of its creator, Edward Kelly, the calculation system was named - the Kelly Criterion. Further on examples.

Rules for calculating the Kelly criterion

The Kelly strategy is based on a mathematical formula that allows you to determine the size of the bet, taking into account statistical data, probability theory and your own knowledge, as well as the information collected.

The correct calculation of the Kelly criterion implies that the better using it is not an ordinary amateur, but a professional who is able to soberly assess the game situation and express the probability of winning as a percentage.

The formula for calculating the Kelly criterion:

(Set of bookmaker * Ind.pr - 1) / (Set of bookmaker - 1) * AUC * 100 = Required bet size,%,

Set BC - this is the coefficient offered for the event by the bookmaker;

Ind.pr – prediction of the probability of winning, assigned by the player himself, its value must be in the range from 0 to 1;

PPK - increasing-decreasing coefficient, on which the degree of risk depends, the larger it is, the larger the gain will be. Its number is chosen by the player himself, usually for a long period of time. Betters who use the strategy on an ongoing basis rarely use a coefficient higher than 0.4 in the formula;

Required bet amount – the total percentage of your bank that you need to bet on the selected event.

How does the Kelly strategy work?

The following example will help you better understand the Kelly criteria. So let's bet on football. As part of the English Premier League in London, the local Arsenal and Manchester United meet. Bookmakers give odds of 2.11 for the hosts to win. In our opinion, the figure is clearly overestimated, because the guests recently had a very important match in the Europa League, and this is the tournament the team is focused on, besides, the club's infirmary is full, there will be no key players on the field in the upcoming meeting.

Let's say our bank is 1000 rubles. Let's calculate how much we should bet on the "Arsenal win" event. The bookmaker gives a coefficient of 2.11 for such an outcome, which is slightly less than 50%. Our individual forecast is 70% (0.7). We choose PPK 0.2. Now we plug the numbers into the formula:

(2.11 * 0.7 - 1) / (2.11 - 1) * 0.2 * 100 \u003d 8.6% or 86 rubles.

The match ended with the victory of Arsenal with a score of 2: 0, our bet played:

86 * 2,11 = 181,5;

181.5 - 86 \u003d 95.5 rubles - net profit.

Now our bank has amounted to 1095.5, and it is from this amount that we should build on the following calculations.

Is it possible to make money on the Kelly Criteria?

Unfortunately, using only this strategy will not lead to winnings. Sooner or later, the player will simply merge the entire bank. To successfully apply the Kelly Criterion, you need to have a deep knowledge of the chosen sport, follow the games and do serious work on the study of statistical data.

Martingale strategy

In the betting environment, it is difficult to find a strategy that would be as popular as the Martingale system. Its simplicity, accessibility and effectiveness have attracted bettors for many years. What is the essence of this method and is it really as rosy as we would like?

The essence of the martingale strategy

Initially, the method was conceived as a roulette tactic for betting on red / black or any other casino game, where the main choice is between two outcomes. But very soon it was borrowed by bettors specializing in sports predictions. Its meaning lies in the constant increase in the amount of the bet by half in the event of another loss. In this case, the coefficient on the outcome must be at least two. That is, the amount put on the line when winning must double.

Let's look at an example.

We will bet on an odd number of points in the game by the minimum allowable odds.

Calculate the profit received:

1600 * 2 - (100 + 200 + 400 + 800 + 1600) = 100 rubles.

Despite a long losing streak, we still came out on top. But such a bet will play if the budget is enough to win the bet, but the earnings with such risks are equal to the size of the first bet from the series.

Disadvantages of the Martingale Strategy

At first glance, using the Martingale strategy and having a decent initial bank, it is impossible to lose, but this is not so. A losing streak can last as long as you want, and even with a good margin, you can lose a large amount. The fact is that bookmakers have long begun to set the upper limit of the bet, thereby reducing all the advantages of this method of making deals to nothing.

In addition, wanting to get a small win, the better risks a much larger amount, which only accelerates bankruptcy. Thus, such a method of financial management as the Martingale strategy cannot be called a win-win. It is not recommended for use by beginners and very gamblers. And also do not forget that the bankroll should not affect the financial situation of the family. Be prudent and then luck will be on your side!

Miller's management

History knows quite a few betters who have achieved success with the help of their own knowledge and systems developed by them. One of these lucky ones was J. Miller. The American not only got rich himself, but also shared his strategy with millions.

Miller's Fundamental Principles of Financial Management

The system developed by a talented handicapper will not help you guess the outcome of sporting events, it is designed only for the correct distribution of funds from the original bank.

Miller's Peru owns many articles in which he substantiates, from a scientific point of view, the main mistakes of most betters. His strategy will help to avoid the temptation to increase rates and earn by properly allocating his funds.

In order for Miller's strategy to really work, you need to turn off your head, defeat all gambling emotions in yourself and firmly grasp that the probability of winning the current bet does not depend on previous outcomes won or lost. The author of the methodology convincingly advises choosing events with two possible outcomes and odds of 1.85 - 1.91 (in each office in different ways, they depend on the margin that the bookmaker takes for himself as an intermediary). In other words, Miller's financial management is used for events with a probability of 50%.

And now the actual essence of the system. Miller suggests betting on small fixed amounts that make up 1% of the total pot. And raise them only when the initial capital has increased by 25%. The rate itself is increased by the same number.

Our bank is 10,000 rubles, i.e. the bet amount will be 100 rubles. As soon as the total amount increases by 25% and reaches 12,500, we raise the rate to 125 rubles. In order for the strategy to be profitable, it is enough to guess 52.85% of all predicted events.

Disadvantages of Miller's financial management strategy

Miller calls the timely revision of the bet amount and the competent distribution of the bank's money the key to the success of his method, but the result of the bets depends on the player himself. Using a strategy alone to make a profit is not enough, it must be combined with a deep analysis of statistical data and other information about the upcoming game.

tank attack method

Financial strategies, unlike gaming ones, teach bettors to correctly distribute the initial bank and do not allow them to drain all the money, trying to win back in the event of a single failure. One of the most interesting tactics of this kind is called "tank attack".

The essence of the tank attack strategy

The financial principle is easy to explain in a playful way. The stakes are tanks that have acted in a row on the enemy, and each loss is the loss of one of them. The original bank is divided into several equal parts. There may be 3 or 5, or 7 ... And each one has its own forecast. If the bet wins, the attack continues and the entire amount is wagered on the next event. If the forecast turned out to be incorrect, the tank is knocked out and is out of the fight.

Our initial bank amounted to 3,000 rubles. We divide it into three equal parts of 1000 and place bets (it is advisable to choose events with small odds, which you are sure of winning):

1. Manchester City - Crystal Palace: we bet 1000 for the home team to win at 1.30, final score: 5:0, winning 1300.
2. Amkar - CSKA: we bet 1000 for the guests to win for 1.60, the final score is 0:2, the win is 1600.
3. Barcelona - Villarreal: we bet 1000 on the hosts to win for 1.20, the final score is 4:1, the win is 1200.

Next tank attack series:

1. 1300 on Liverpool - Southampton - home win for 1.50. The game ended in a draw, the bet lost.
2. 1600 on Lazio - Sampdoria - P1 for 1.35. Final score: 7:3, win 2160.
3. 1200 on Granada - Real Madrid - away win for 1.15. Final score: 0:4, win 1380.

After the second series, we lost one tank, we continue:

1. 2160 at Chelsea - Middlesbrough - home win for 1.50. Final score 3:0, win 3240.
2. 1380 in Chievo - Palermo - home win for 1.56. The game ended in a draw, 1:1. The bet lost.

After the tank attack, we have 3240 left in our bank.

3240 - 3000 \u003d 240 rubles - net profit.

Now we divide this sum into several equal parts and continue the game.

The above are events with odds of 1.15 - 1.60, the smaller they are, the greater the chance of winning. When the player himself decides to finish the “attack”, if in the example we stopped after the second stage, the profit would be:

2160 + 1380 = 3540;

3540 - 3000 = 540 rubles.

Tank attack strategy. Is it realistic to win?

The success of the strategy directly depends on the better's ability to analyze and correctly use the information received. Even small odds do not give a guarantee of winning, and if you blindly choose only numbers, sooner or later the entire bank will be drained.

Oscar Grind Betting Strategy

By using several strategies in sports betting, the chances of success are always increased. Many financial systems are built on the principles of Martingale game tactics and represent its improved copy. This is the strategy of Oscar Grind.

The essence of the Oscar Grind betting system

Unlike the notorious Martingale strategy, when using which the amount of the bet increases after a loss, in the Oscar Grind system, the amount increases after a win. If your forecast is defeated, then nothing needs to be changed.

The maximum bet on one event cannot be more than 1/12 of the total bank, and the odds on the selected outcome must not be less than 2.

The increase in the amount after winning occurs once, even if you managed to win twice, the series will start anew from the third prediction. Let's take a closer look at the Oscar Grind system using an example:

Our initial bank is 1200 rubles, i.e. the value of the first bet will be 100 rubles. We select an event with a coefficient of 2:

The final bank amounted to 1400 rubles, net profit: 1400 - 1200 \u003d 200 rubles.

As you can see from the example, it is really possible to make money on the strategy by guessing 50% of the bets.

Is it possible to win with the Oscar Grind strategy?

Experienced betters who have tried the strategy on themselves are extremely skeptical about it, believing that sooner or later it will lead to a complete loss. Experts in the field of probability theory came to the same conclusion.

For a stable plus, the player must guess at least 50% of bets with a coefficient of at least 2. In practice, this is almost unrealistic. Given the margin that the bookmaker takes, the probability of an event is less than 50%.

The advantages of the system include protection from betting limits and the impossibility of a quick bank merger.

The Oscar Grind strategy is great to use in a short period of time, but its long-term use is almost 100% likely to end in failure. Learn how to properly distribute money on bets, both after losing and after winning. And then a permanent profit or temporary preservation of the bankroll will be provided.

The Monty Hall Paradox

The use of bankroll distribution systems and bet selection strategies saves each bettor from the possible loss of the entire budget. Experienced players have verified that it is necessary to put into practice different ways of playing, especially since there are quite a lot of such methods. The Monty Hall Paradox is one of many. The unique strategy was named after the host of the popular US show. For the first time, her explanations were shown there.

The essence of the Monty Hall paradox

In the program, Monty Hall's paradox was explained using a simple mathematical riddle. The subject was offered a choice of 3 doors, behind one of which was the main prize - a car, behind the other two - goats. The probability of opening the correct door in each of the three cases, according to mathematical theory, was 33.3%. After the participant pointed to the door he liked, the host opened one of the two with a goat (the one that the player did not name) and offered to change his choice.

More often than not, the subjects insisted on their original opinion without understanding one simple thing. The probability that the car is hidden behind the initially chosen door will remain 33.3%, when the probability of finding the car behind the second door increases to 66.6%.

And if there are not 3, but 100 doors, and the leader in turn opens 98 with goats, then the probability of guessing by changing his mind increases to 99%.

Monty Hall paradox in examples

Consider the application of the Monty Hall paradox on the example of bets in bookmakers.

In the Italian Serie A, the end of the season is approaching. Each team has only one match left to play. Let's say three teams: Crotone, Palermo and Pescara are fighting for survival in the big leagues and have approximately equal chances of success. The club that earns more points in the last game will continue in Serie A. The probability of each of them going further is 33.3%. We bet on Palermo. Pescara plays first and is defeated. The probability of Crotone passing increases to 66.6%. Now you need to bet on this team, and its amount should cover the possible loss from the first prediction and bring profit from above.

conclusions

At first glance, the decision contradicts all the basics of logic and common sense. However, if you think carefully, everything will fall into place. The Monty Hall paradox strategy clearly shows bettors their main mistakes, the inability to realistically assess the possibilities of winning outcomes.

countermovement

It is almost impossible to play on bets without a plan and earn consistently. Therefore, all successful bettors, after trying out different systems, use 3-4 constantly or create their own, which significantly increases the chances of winning. Here we will consider the strategy of betting on sports on countermoves. The counter-bet is very similar to the arb system, so by adhering to its principles for a long time with a positive result, you can attract the "attention" of bookmakers to your account.

Principles of the Backward Strategy

It is very easy to understand the rules of the Counterpass system. The player makes an express, and then insures it with the help of ordinary. The only mandatory condition is that the events must take place at different times. Let's take a closer look at an example.

As the events we need, we will select football matches in the English Premier League and make an express:

1. Southampton - Arsenal P1 for 2.00.
2. Everton - Watford P1 for 1.45.
3. Crystal Palace - Hull City P1 for 2.05.

Overall coefficient: 5.95.

Let the bet amount be 200 rubles. Before the first game, we need to insure the accumulator and put a single on the opposite outcome:

Southampton – Arsenal X2 for 1.85

We put 250 rubles on it. If the ordinar wins, our payoff will be:

250 * 1.85 = 462.5 rubles.

Let's calculate the net profit. To do this, subtract the amount of the bet and the lost express:

462.5 - 250 - 200 \u003d 12.5 p.

If the single has lost, we move on to the next event in the accumulator and make a new bet. We select its amount taking into account the previous loss:

Everton – Watford X2 for 2.85

Let's put 250 rubles on it. If the ordinar wins, our payoff will be:

250 * 2.85 = 712.5 rubles

Net profit:

712.5 - 250 - 250 - 200 \u003d 12.5 rubles.

If the single has lost, go to the last event in the accumulator. At the moment, we have bet the amount of 700 rubles. In case of luck, the winnings on the express bet will be 1190 rubles, i.е. We have 490 rubles left for the last order:

Crystal Palace - Hull City X2 for 1.82.

Winning this bet will not cover the money spent, and we will be in the red. What to do? Is the backtracking strategy not working?

Experienced bettors, using counter-move bets, recommend leaving the event in which you are most confident in the end and abandoning the last ordinary. However, this rarely comes to pass. In reality, an accumulator with a large overall odds loses at the very beginning, on the first or second move.

conclusions

The Counter-Move strategy is not a win-win, but a competent distribution of events in the multiple bet will help you consistently win a small amount at an insurance bet.

System of rates "+60%"

Most betting tactics in bookmakers are prefabricated systems from existing popular strategies. “+60%” is one of them. It includes elements of the classic Martingale strategy and the less well-known flat system, which consists of betting a fixed amount on each selected event.

The essence of the "+60%" system

The main principles of the "+60%" strategy:

1. We select events with a coefficient of at least 1.7.
2. We divide the bank into parts and bet starting from 1% of the total money, increasing the amount in case of loss in the following percentage sequence: 1; 3.5; 9.5; 24.5; 61.5.
3. In order for the strategy to be profitable, you cannot allow more than 5 losses in a row.

The strategy is characterized by a high degree of risk, because even a professional player has losing streaks of 5 or more bets.

Still, losing 5 bets one after another with odds of 1.7 - 1.8 is not so easy. The probability of winning each of them is about 56%, and losing 5 times in a row is 1.7%.

The initial bank is 1000 rubles. We will bet on events with a coefficient of 1.8.

1107 - 1000 \u003d 107 rubles - net profit.

conclusions

The “+60%” system, like the others, is not a win-win, but the probability of making a profit when using it is much higher than using the same Martingale and Fixed Profit strategies.

Composite odds

One of the sources of income for bookmakers is the margin. This is the difference between the real probability of winning and the coefficient provided by the bookmaker, the part that the exchange takes for mediation. In some bookmakers, the margin is so high that the game according to any of the known financial strategies is doomed to failure. The "composite odds" system allows you to increase the amount of winnings by dividing the bets into two.

Using the compound coefficients strategy

The proposed system is suitable for volleyball, basketball and tennis, those sports where the overall victory in the game consists of the victory in separate sets, quarters or halves.

Let's take a closer look at an example.

On the tennis court, two old rivals Italian Fabio Fognini and Spaniard Rafael Nadal meet. They give a coefficient of 1.74 on the favorite of the match (Nadal), and we will bet on him. Now let's look at the line proposed by the bookmaker, namely, let's pay attention to the exact score by game. If Nadal wins, the game will end with a score of 2:0 for a coefficient of 3.0 or 2:1 for 3.40 in favor of the Spaniard. If, instead of betting on the usual win, we break the pot and make 2 predictions on the correct score, our profit will be higher.

Disadvantages of the compound coefficients strategy

The system of composite coefficients has one, but quite a significant drawback. The game can go in a completely different scenario, and you will lose all the money. There is always the possibility that even the most hopeless outsider can beat the venerable favorite.

Strategy "1.01 - 1.02"

Playing with a bookmaker without tactics is not a good idea. In any confrontation, there must be a plan for victory. In sports betting, players use even more than one such plan, but also spare and safety ones. Experienced betters use proven strategies, the “1.01 -1.02” strategy has become popular in live mode.

The principle of operation of the system "1.01 -1.02"

When a meeting is held between approximately equal teams, any event in the game is interpreted by bookmakers in one direction or another, and the odds change by a few tenths or hundredths. If there is a clear favorite in the pair, the coefficient changes only from 1.01 to 1.02.

According to the strategy, at the very beginning of the match, a player bets a small amount, for example, 100 rubles, with a coefficient of 1.01. After the coefficient has changed to 1.02, we make a second bet, this time “back”. The amount must be equal to the potential winnings from the first bet. If the favorite wins, our bank increases by 100 rubles, if the outsider wins miraculously, we go to zero.

The subtleties of the strategy "1.01 - 1.02"

You can use tactics many times even within the same game, however, due to the high demand for minimum odds, bets may not go through and be blocked by the bookmaker.

For the successful application of the system, it is necessary to have access to a live broadcast without delay, otherwise you may simply not have time to secure the strategy.

The "1.01 - 1.02" system is more focused on experienced bettors who are able to skillfully play live odds. Beginners are better off choosing a different strategy.

Fixed interest from the bank

To become a successful better, it is not enough to have knowledge in the topic of sporting events; one of the most important factors in preserving and increasing funds is the correct distribution of the bankroll. The use of money management greatly simplifies the life of not only bettors, but also traders, investors and other people who invest their own money. The rate system "Fixed interest from the bank" refers to financial management strategies.

The essence of the fixed interest strategy from the bank

First of all, the player must determine the initial bank. Each bet will be a fixed percentage of this amount.

General bank - 1000 rubles. We will bet 10% of the bank, i.e. 100 rubles. Let's say our bet lost, the amount remained on the account:

1000 - 100 = 900 rubles.

Let's say our bet with odds of 3 won:

90 * 3 = 270.

General bank:

900 – 90 + 270 = 1080.

Again we calculate 10% - 108 rubles, etc.

At first glance, using this financial strategy, it is impossible to lose, but in fact, sooner or later, the player will overtake a losing streak, and the bet will drop to an amount less than the bookmaker's minimum rate. This automatically means draining the entire bankroll.

conclusions

By itself, the strategy of a fixed percentage of the bankroll does not represent any value for bettors who dream of beating the bookmaker, but using it in combination with other systems can bring positive results. A modified tactic of fixed percentage of the pot is the Kelly Criterion, which is used with success by professional bettors.

Bookmakers have begun to be popular with people again, the number of players is growing every day. Just playing on bets, without adhering to any strategy, there is a high probability of losing your money. What are strategies for? That's right, to be able to win at bookmakers constantly, with a long-term game.

Any sport, be it football, hockey or other sports, lives by strategy, thoughtless play in professional sports is not acceptable. Playing in a bookmaker's office is also a sport, here players compete in winnings with each other, it's just unrealistic to display this rating.

The strategy is interesting and, when used correctly, is very effective, although it has certain drawbacks. We will talk about all this in this article.

Express betting is one of the most popular types of sports betting. It's no secret that many players use this type of bet to make good profits and increase their bank.
I want to warn you right away that with an express bet it increases the risk of losing. But not everything is so sad. Multiple bets are a good way to make money and this requires patience, collecting more information and of course a certain strategy that will reduce the risk of losing.
One of such strategies is the strategy of express bets on totals.

For the first time, this betting strategy is mentioned in the novel "The Gambler" by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. As practice shows, the overclocking strategy has a number of advantages that you can use to improve the quality of your bet. Also, the “overclocking” strategy is called “horizontal express train”, also called “anti-martingale”, as it is based on the opposite principle.

In the world of betting, this game strategy is used by many players. What is a corridor? This is a simple and at the same time effective strategy for playing in a bookmaker, thanks to these pluses, it has gained considerable popularity among players, both beginners and professionals. To use the “corridor” game strategy, you do not need to spend a lot of time and money, just a couple of hours of free time and 1000 rubles in your pocket to make a profit by playing this strategy. Let us consider in more detail the strategy of the game "corridor".

Betting on yellow cards in football matches is a unique opportunity that online bookmakers have begun to provide. Today you can bet on yellow cards in many bookmakers, as a rule, such bets are available on popular football matches, for example, the Champions League, English Premier League, World Cup, European Championship, Serie A and others. Also, some bookmakers allow you to bet on the statistics of yellow cards in Live mode, which is especially interesting.

It is clear to everyone that it is better to bet on a clear leader, or at least on a team that performs more or less successfully. In principle, most beginners do just that.

Probably, there is some truth here, because such teams show a more stable game. However, in the world of sports betting, not everything is so simple! It turns out that experienced professionals very often use the “services” of outsiders, or rather, the high odds that the bookmaker puts on them.

Frank Belanger System No. 8 is a betting strategy that allows bettors to systematically make a profit with a pass rate of only 40%. Frank Belanger's system No. 8 is an improved "fixed profit" game strategy, only this system has a lot of advantages and is less risky for bookmakers.

Game strategy for sports betting "incomplete surebets"

Perhaps most bettors have heard about the well-known strategy of the game "forks". This is one of the few win-win strategies when a player bets on all possible outcomes of a match and makes a profit in any result due to the difference in odds, as a rule, due to the difference in the odds of different bookstores. But few people know about the existence of the “incomplete forks” strategy, which is a simplified version of the “forks” strategy.

If you follow football, you will certainly notice that the favorites often concede first, but then win back and reduce the match to a draw or pull out a victory. Why not take advantage of this data and build an effective football betting strategy on it.

Today we will consider with you probably the simplest strategy for playing in a bookmaker's office, called "fixed profit". The essence of this strategy is that the bet amount remains constant throughout the game. There are players who change the bet during the game, this leads to a loss of money. The fixed profit strategy is ideal for beginners.

Today we will consider another strategy that brings profit to players in bookmakers, called "Forks". Many players only want to win at bookmakers. It is not known by whom it was invented, most likely by the players themselves. This game strategy allows you to place bets without the risk of losing your money. The Forks game strategy can be called differently: holes, arbitrage, win-win bets, and so on. What is a "Fork"?

Today we’ll talk about another betting strategy called “flat” or “fixed bet size” in other words. The “flat” strategy gained popularity in the American betting market, on bets on equal chances, with two outcomes for handicaps and totals, where both odds are approximately 1.91. In the European case, with three initial options, a completely different math comes into force and the flat strategy loses its advantage. This strategy is used by both beginners and "experienced" players.

"Catch-up" is a strategy for playing in a bookmaker's office, in which the size of each next bet depends on the result of the previous bet. The main goal of this strategy is to return lost funds and make a profit. A special case of this strategy is the Martingale strategy (you can find it on our website). "Catch-up" is one of the win-win strategies. The main thing in "catching up" is your bank, if you are not a beginner and have been playing in a bookmaker's office for a long time, you should know that the correct distribution of the bank is next to the choice of strategy. This is the key to the success of this strategy. By placing bets in a different way, you will not have a stable income, not a big profit that can be lost over time.

To date, there are many strategies for betting in bookmakers. One of the less well-known, but at the same time very effective, is the so-called Frank Belanger System No. 20 strategy. This is a specific game strategy, which is a kind of Martingale system. Compared to other betting strategies, the Frank Belanger No. 20 system has a lot of advantages. And in order to be convinced of this, we will consider here the essence, features and examples of using the Frank Belanger No. 20 system.

What players just don’t come up with to constantly beat bookmakers. The strategy that I wanted to talk to you about today is called the Kelly Criterion game strategy. From the name it is clear who it was invented by. Back in 1956, a game strategy was invented by the player John L. Kelly, which was later called the "Kelly Criterion". At first, this strategy was played in the casino (blackjack), there is even a book on the Internet in English, translated by our players. Years passed and the Kelly Criterion began to be used in betting on sports events, then it became a revolution in the world of bookmakers.

The Danish betting system initially appeared in casinos, then skillful players began to use it in bookmakers and quite successfully, with the right approach. The Danish betting system is one of the strategies of financial management, is an ambiguous and controversial strategy, there are many disputes about the effectiveness and rationality of using the Danish system in sports betting.

This strategy, like many others, came to the players of bookmakers from the casino. Over time, bookmakers began to gain their popularity, and D'Alamber's game strategy switched to sports betting. First, let's talk about D'Alamber's strategy, then D'Alamber's counter. With a competent game, D'Alamber's strategy gives a good income.

The strategy of the game "Value Betting" is a game with inflated odds. Value Betting is translated from English as “bets on valuables”. There is nothing complicated in the theory of this strategy, you need to compare your probability of an event with the odds set at the bookmaker. If, according to your assessment, it turns out that the bookmaker underestimated the event, but actually overestimated the odds for it, it is also “Value Betting” found. You can check whether an event fits the "Value Betting" strategy using the mathematical formula:

This strategy came to bookmakers from casinos. According to legend, the Oscar Grind strategy game is named after one "fortune lover" player who played in the casino in the 1950s-60s. He became famous for making profit on small bets and beating casinos with low risks of losing the pot. He never chased super profits, he slowly increased his capital. Further, the Oscar Grind strategy became popular in sports betting, as it used to be in casinos. It began to be used by professional players, like most other casino game strategies. Oscar Grind's strategy was based on simple odds, such as black and white.

If at a certain period of time you realize that sports betting does not give the desired results, it's time to organize the game process, try to apply various sports betting methods and highlight the one that will help you make a profit.
There is a large selection of sports betting strategies.
The plan to bet on "total" in football or to catch a significant odds on a draw is often used by beginners due to their popularity. Among such well-known schemes, one should single out the search for an opportunity to bet on all potential outcomes of a match in different bookmakers and a betting strategy that is detrimental to the bankroll, in which the volume of a further bet is determined by the results of past bets.

Tennis betting today is very popular among fans of excitement. Bets of this kind have a lot of advantages that really do not exist in other sports. Tennis is becoming even more popular than football with bookmakers. The only thing that remains out of competition is equestrian sport.

I bring to your attention a strategy that works only in tennis, from the name you probably guessed that it works in bets during a tennis match, when the game is delayed and the score on the scoreboard is 40/40, only in this case we begin to act on this strategy.
Before the start of the event, our task is to bet on one of the games, the score in which will be “40-40 - yes”, so that the coefficient varies from 2-4.

How nice it is to watch football matches with a lot of goals scored, and if you make money on it, this joy increases significantly. Today I want to talk about a betting strategy called "BTTS", this abbreviation means playing on "both to score" bets, agree that it is much more pleasant to root for beautiful football than for one of the teams you bet on, especially since this type bets can play at any moment while the match is going on, and if you play on bets during the match, with a score of 0-0, the odds for such events are simply “space”.

Today I want to introduce you to a strategy that will help you in playing the sweepstakes. As a rule, bookmakers offer a totalizator (super express) in which you need to bet on 15 events. What is the advantage of sweepstakes? This is of course a huge jackpot that you can win if you guess all 15 events, history knows quite a few cases when 1 ticket hit the entire deck pot, in most cases it's luck. If you follow a certain strategy, the totalizator can generate income, let's consider in more detail the points:

If you like to play odd or even bets, then the Odd Difference strategy is for you. This strategy works on football, and as you may have guessed from the name, bet on a draw match outcome, and an odd match total. Why these particular outcomes you ask? Bookmakers give good odds for such types of outcomes, for a draw from 3 to 5, for an odd total up to 2, with a competent game, the Odd Difference strategy will bring income.

For those who like to play at sports competitions, I present the Next betting system. Playing this strategy is simple, even a player who has just started betting at a bookmaker will understand it, it takes a little time for you to master the theory of the Next betting system. If you devote a lot of time to the statistics of football championships, then it is directly created for you, since the system has shown excellent results in practice.

Do you want to make money on football? Then the Double Indemnity strategy is for you, it appeared in 2012. This strategy is based on three bets, a victory in each of which will bring profit to the player, or a small minus. Intrigued? Then let's look at how the "Double Indemnity" strategy works:

The Cover betting system is not popular with players, there are reasons for this, which I will discuss later, but its main plus is that it slowly but surely increases your bank. The system is designed for two bets, players believe that one bet is superfluous, since we give the obviously winning money to the bookmaker.

You are well versed in football, regularly follow the main results of team matches, then the strategy of the game according to the "12 teams" system is for you. To play according to this strategy, you need to know all the subtleties of football, which not every player sees in the bookmaker's office, this will drastically reduce the risk of defeats and increase your income.

Do you want to try something new? Then the "Outsider Insurance" strategy is for you, it is unique in its own way, it offers us a game in a bookmaker's office, on pronounced favorites. The strategy has not been fully tested, and while it is not known how much profit it brings, I recommend trying to play it only with virtual money.

This strategy is designed for football, it will just be relevant on the eve of the World Cup, the main task of this strategy is as follows, you need to bet not on the team, but on the attacker who “drags” the team.

There are various betting strategies in bookmakers: some are quite universal, others are suitable for certain sports or for specific types of bets. Many low risk sports betting strategies are based on systems developed by casino regulars. New systems are also emerging.

For the success of sports betting, you need to use strategies that are profitable and reliable. With all their diversity, they can be divided into 2 large groups:

• financial strategies based on the principles of money management;
• gaming strategies for sports betting, depending on sports layouts.

Financial Management Strategies

These are proven betting strategies based on bank management. Before the start of the game, the bettor determines the amount that he can dispose of - the game bank. A winning betting strategy in a bookmaker's office involves, first of all, avoiding bankruptcy. This means that the amount of bets must be determined in such a way as not to exhaust the entire bank.

• Danish system;
• percentage of the original bank;
• Kelly criterion - percentage of the current bank;
• flat - a fixed total amount of the bet;
• fixed profit;
• row of numbers is a profitable betting strategy in the long run if the pot is big enough.

Game strategies

Betting strategies that are winning for some sports may be meaningless for others, for example:

• the three-point shooting strategy is applicable exclusively to basketball;
• Dutch strategy for Formula 1;
• games against the favorite - for those sports where transfers are made.

There are also universal working sports betting strategies:

• for bets on total over-under;
• for even-odd bets in basketball, volleyball (usually a catch-up strategy is used);
• long-term betting strategy (futures) for tournaments.

Many novice players are interested in whether there are win-win sports betting strategies. Conventionally, they are considered:

• surebets - bets on opposite events at different bookmakers;
• middles are paired bets, of which at least one wins.

Expression "betting strategies" is one of the most requested in search engines, in the subject of "sports betting". This is due to the fact that players are trying to find a win-win betting strategy, in which the risk of losing money in bookmakers will be minimal. The next most popular queries are sports betting strategies: football and tennis.

Football betting strategy

In this section, you can get answers to which football strategies are best for betting. Don't forget, a win-win strategy is a myth, any team can both lose and win. Despite this, football is a safer type of betting than others, since the random factor is minimal.

Tennis betting strategy

Despite the fact that tennis is not in the top 3 most popular sports, there are more than enough requests for tennis strategies. This is due to the random factor, because only 2 players enter the court (4 in doubles matches) and the probability of losing / losing the match by the leader is large enough to satisfy the needs of all players and get profit from the right strategy, the best betting strategies are presented on the BetAdvise resource.

Also in this section are presented live strategies for basketball and hockey. By choosing profitable betting strategies for yourself, you will be able to earn according to a clearly structured scheme.
