Making money from sports betting. Gambling business - how to make money on sports betting

The betting business is exceptionally simple and uncomplicated. However, before we start considering an interesting strategy, we’ll immediately make a reservation that we are talking about a betting strategy, and not about opening a bookmaker’s office. However, if you have a large budget, then you can also open an office, but at the moment a little about that.

Strategy concept

Thus, the proposed strategy is based on football, but it can be applied to other sports. It does not require large financial investments, and to check it, it is enough to have at least 10 dollars.

The concept (or basic idea) is to bet each time on an outcome involving the GOAL of the favorite team. In other words, we bet money on the fact that the favorite team will score a goal. If she doesn't score, then we lose money, but the next bet should make up for the loss. The essence is extremely simple, but there are some nuances.

Team selection

Dozens of matches are played every day, so you should carefully select applicants who would score a GOAL. So, let's see, for example, the match between team 1 and team 2. The prerequisites for selection are as follows:

1. Team 1 must score at least 1 goal in seven of the last ten home matches;
2. Team 2 must concede at least 1 goal in seven of the last ten away matches;
3. The odds for the GOAL of the first team must be 1.25 or more.

If the conditions are met, then you can safely put money on the GOAL of the first team. Thus, we are betting on the team that is most likely to score at least 1 goal.

Strategy example

Let's say we have a pot of $100 (a ridiculous amount for a betting business). We select a team that meets the requirements and bet 3% of our bank ($3) on it. If, say, we lose, we need to make a bet that would cover our loss. We have $97 left in the pot, and of this amount we need to bet $15, which will allow us to return the 3 we lost. If the bet passes, we return to the outcome and bet 3% of the pot. If the bet does NOT pass (which is already unlikely), we have a third opportunity to win back by betting all the money in the bank, i.e. 82 dollars. 82*1.25=102.5. Having returned the bank, we put 3% again and continue to play.

In the case of each subsequent win, we always need to bet 3% of the pot amount. Thus, each subsequent rate will increase, as, in fact, the bank itself.

You can make up to 10 bets per day, because the bookmaker charges money immediately after the team scores a goal. In total, within 3 days (30 bets), a profit of 100 dollars can be 124.2 dollars, which is 24.2 percent in 3 DAYS!

Of course, if the favorite team does not score at least 1 goal 3 times in a row, then your entire betting business will sink into oblivion, but what is the probability of such an outcome?

On the Internet, you can really earn money not only by copywriting, programming and web design.

Real earnings - sports betting.

How to bet correctly

You can earn consistently on bets. And the main secret of successful income is professionalism. To become a professional, you will need:

1. Learn to understand certain sports. It is ideal to know the rules of the game and refereeing in order to make informed bets.
2. Choose a good bookmaker. It does not matter where it will be, how far from the player. It is worth very carefully studying the reviews about the offices and understanding the betting system.
3. Diligently read analytical articles and study the results of various matches and championships. It is necessary to know what form the team is in, which of the players was injured, to be interested in the emotional mood of the team. For example, the outcome of a match may not matter at all for the team, and, accordingly, the motivation for its members will be different. It is important to learn to take into account everything, even weather conditions. After all, even a strong team is not immune from losing due to force majeure.
4. Develop an individual betting strategy. Determine the balance between risky and minimum bets. But we must remember that the ideal strategy does not exist. The best option is a combination of sports and financial strategies.
5. Learn to manage your own capital. Don't play for broke. The outcome of sports is 100% unpredictable.
6. Have an analytical mind and have mathematical knowledge.

Betting business is not easy, but very exciting. There are those who managed to get rich, and those who make good money or have completely moved away from business.

How to bet correctly for a beginner

It is impossible to become a professional overnight. But you have to start somewhere. To do this, you can use the service of trust management. Those who want to make money on bets find a professional better (a person who knows how to bet) and transfer their money to him for turnover. Such people have connections in betting communities and they have access to information that is not intended for the general public.

Naturally, the better will take a certain percentage for his services, but he will transfer the profit to your account.

In the meantime, you can begin to understand the system of work yourself, making small bets and receiving, albeit modest, but income. A professional, a beginner, and, of course, a bookmaker can earn money here. Earnings of a small bookmaker's office range from 20 to 40 thousand rubles a month.

How the betting business works

A business is built on a bet or a dispute. The bookmaker evaluates the probability of the outcome of a game or match and determines the odds for it. Players or bettors place their bets. If the outcome was guessed, then the bettors make a profit.

Here we can draw an analogy with the banking system. The client deposits a certain amount into the bank account, for example, at 10%. At the end of the year, the profit is plus 10% of the deposit amount. When money is invested in bookmakers, the same 10% can be received at the end of a sports game or match in a particular sport.

Interest income depends both on the specific sporting event and the bet on it, and on the bookmaker.

Large bookmakers have a convenient website and work internationally. Therefore, there is no risk of fraud with money. The websites of bookmakers have all the necessary statistics and a convenient search engine.

In addition, making bets via the Internet is much safer than going, for example, in the evening with money to some office where a dubious company gathers. Having made a bet via the Internet, you can be at home with your family and go about your business while waiting for the outcome of the game.

How else can you earn on bets

In order to start earning, you do not need to travel far in search of a bookmaker. It is enough to register on the selected site, create an electronic wallet, have initial capital and understand one or more sports.

There is no need to be afraid of electronic wallets. From any of them, money is easily transferred to an account in a real bank. There are no problems with this.

The bookmaker wins when the players lose. But bookmakers themselves set the winning odds in advance. There are also sweepstakes. The percentage of winnings on them depends on the number of players who took part in the game and made bets. Now bookmakers are more popular because they openly inform players about bets, and bettors can calculate their income if successful.

Players can earn 1 dollar, or maybe a million. It all depends on the size of the bet. But we must remember that it does not work for making money on bets, as for the lottery. Stakes are serious analytical work, in which failures are inevitable. Those who make bets randomly lose. Winning goes to thinking players. To become a professional better you need daily painstaking work on yourself and self-discipline.

Rules for a successful betting business

1. Be cool and don't bet only on your favorite team.
2. Never win back to the last penny. Emotions shouldn't get in the way.
3. Do not rush to make a lot of predictions. It is better to work out one match thoroughly.
4. Bet only on a sober-minded head. Even a bad mood can play a cruel joke.
5. Don't give up at the first loss. The long-term result is important - for a week, a month or a year. Only by analyzing it, you can conclude about the success of the business.
6. If a player is limited in funds, then it is not worth raising the stakes, for example, after a loss. You need to determine the size of your bet and stick to it (from 2 to 4 percent).
7. Do not trust other people's forecasts unconditionally. To act according to the principle - trust, but verify.

Good luck to you! Start earning right now.

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.

I observe how hundreds of new and branches of already existing bookmakers (BC) are opened every year. This is due to the popularization of this type of gambling, but in this article I want to present the game in a bookmaker's office not as an ordinary entertainment, but as a very real and permanent source of income. There are few people who constantly earn in betting shops (10-15%), and my task today is to tell you how to enter this number of lucky ones.

Have you wondered - is it possible to make money on bets for an ordinary person who has no experience of playing in a bookmaker's office? My answer is, of course. Successful betters (players) were also beginners. A beginner is faced with a very difficult path, consisting of the stages of learning, getting the initial practice of playing in the bookmaker, developing his own optimal strategy that brings a steady income.

About the types of events on bets in bookmakers

The first thing I recommend to get acquainted with is the types of bets in the bookmaker's office. This is a voluminous question worthy of a separate topic, since there are several dozens, and maybe even more than a hundred different betting options. I will focus on the most important concepts, which are enough for the first stages.

There are two big branches that separate all bets - this is a game on the line and live bets. The line is a list of all sports events in the betting shop that you can bet on. This includes games that have not started, that is, the bet is made before the start of the match and with its start the line is closed. The live mode allows the player to place bets on events that have already begun at any time during the match.

The next division of rates depends on the number of events in the basket (coupon). If you bet on one event, this is called a single bet.

Combining single bets in a coupon (basket) is called an express bet. In this case, the coefficients of all selected events are multiplied. Such a bet will pass if all single events of the accumulator turn out to be correct. If one event is not guessed, then the entire accumulator burns out.

Another type of bet that depends on the number of events is the system. In appearance, this is the same express, that is, there are several single events in the system. But to pass the system, it is not necessary to guess all the selected events. To complete the 4/5 system, it is enough to guess 4 bets out of 5. Moreover, if 5 out of 5 events are guessed, then the coefficient will be almost the same as in the case of an express bet, but if only 4 out of 5 outcomes turned out to be correct, then the winning amount decreases by depending on coefficients. In systems, a large number usually indicates the number of bets in the coupon, and a smaller number indicates the required number of correct outcomes to enter the system.

Compiling systems is an interesting type of betting, and when they ask me the question - is it really possible to make money on sports betting in this way, then I answer - yes, it can be done. But compiling systems is a little more complicated than betting with singles or express bets, keep this in mind when playing.

Types of sports betting for beginners

Now we can start looking at the types of bets that are directly related to the results of matches. I will highlight a few of the most important types that you should definitely familiarize yourself with before considering specific sports betting strategies:

1. The final outcome of the match . Depending on the sport, there are 2 or 3 outcomes of the event. 1 - victory of the first team (player), 2 - victory of the second team (player), 3 - draw. Accordingly, in those sports where a draw is not possible (for example, tennis), only bets on the winner of the match are given. There are sports where overtime is played in case of a draw (hockey, basketball). When betting on these sports, look carefully at the outcomes, as there are bets like a clear team victory (in regular time) and a team victory, taking into account overtime.
2. double chance . This type of betting is in those sports where a draw is allowed in regular time. Here you can place the following types of bets: 1X - the victory of the first team (player) or a draw; X2 - the victory of the second team (player) or a draw; 12 - the victory of any of the teams (player), that is, the loss will be in the event of a draw in the match.
3. Match Total . One of the favorite types of bets for most players. In the bookmaker, totals are indicated by both integer and decimal digits. Let's take football as an example. Total Over 2.5 means that there will be a win if 3 or more goals are scored. Total less than 2.5 - there will be a win if 2 or less goals are scored in the match. If the total number is an integer, for example 2, then with 3 goals scored there will be a win, and with 2 goals the bet will be returned in full.
4. Handicap . This type of bet allows you to artificially add a certain number of points to the team (player). For example, team 1 and team 2 are playing. We give team 1 a +1.5 handicap, which means that this number will be attributed to the team in the final result. The match ends with a score of 0-1 in favor of team 2. But since the +1.5 handicap factor plays, then team 1 has more points and our bet passes.
5. Accurate score . Everything is clear and so. In the bookmaker, you can choose the exact score of the match or, depending on the type of sport, the number of parties, games, periods, etc.

Of course, you can manage your finances yourself and bet on these outcomes the amount of money that is convenient for you, but I advise you to use competent bank management. This concept means strict control over the number and amount of bets.

Below I will give two of the most common ways to manage the "bank".

1. Fixed interest from the bank . In my opinion, this is one of the best variations for a beginner. I would call it a strategy for managing my bank in a bookmaker. The bottom line is that it is necessary to determine the specific percentage of the bank allocated for each bet. Let's say it's 5%. After each outcome, the amount of the bet is recalculated depending on the change in the pot. This is a suitable way for a beginner to manage finances, since it is almost impossible to completely merge the bank with it.
2. Fixed rate (flat). Almost the same as a fixed percentage, only in this case you need to choose for yourself a specific constant amount of the bet and stick to it. Sometimes I distribute my money in the pot in this way, starting with a $500 start and allocating $50 to each bet. So you can make good money on sports betting on the Internet, and the risk of losing everything is minimal.

5 Best Sports Betting Strategies for a Beginner

It's time to consider specific examples of working strategies for sports, which I advise every beginner to work out at least on a demo account. I will give those strategies that I personally used and allowed me to earn on bets in bookmakers.

1. Goal in the second half in football (live). This strategy is my own development based on my own experience and the opinions of other players. I often see how a clear favorite in football cannot score against an opponent before the end of the match. Often goals happen after 80 minutes. I choose matches where the clear favorite has not "opened" the outsider's gate by 70-75 minutes and I bet on the goal scored by him. The odds here are good, about 2.0-2.5, which allows you to get a good profit.
2. Bet on the favorite in tennis (live). How often do you see the favorite in tennis losing 0-2 without taking a single set? I personally rarely see this. If the favorite lost the 1st set to the outsider, then after a little analysis of the game, I bet on the victory of the favorite in the 2nd set. The odds for this event are good, starting from 1.50 and can go up to 2.0.
3. Periods in basketball (live). The principle is almost identical to the scheme in tennis, we need to find a match in live, where the favorite plays with an outsider, you can take a not pronounced favorite. According to statistics, in basketball, the favorite wins at least one quarter. Our task is to find a live match or wait for one where the favorite lost the first two quarters to the outsider. It is likely that the favorite will win at least one of the remaining quarters, and we will successfully play with odds from 1.50 to 2.0.
4. Betting on yellow cards in a football match. This type of betting is available on many matches in some bookmakers. Sometimes you can see bets on the number of yellow cards even in live game mode. The essence of the strategy is that it is necessary to analyze the opponents well before the start of the match and predict whether the game will be aggressive or not. It is better to play for Total Over Yellow Cards and choose matches where you think there will be aggressive play. I advise you to play on teams from such countries as Italy, England, Spain. These championships are distinguished by the fact that a tough game is often played here and there are really a lot of yellow cards. Matches of principal rivals are also suitable for selection, as well as fights of increased importance, where players will fight to the last and often break the rules.
5. Breaks in tennis. A break in tennis is when the player who receives the serve wins the game. To play according to this strategy, you need to choose a tennis match where there is a favorite (the odds for a player to win the match are up to 1.50). Examples of suitable favorites include players such as Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Wawrinka and other strong tennis players. The favorite often makes breaks in 1 set in order to ensure a proper advantage over the opponent from the very beginning of the game. I advise you to bet on the favorite to win the game when the underdog serves. Breaks often happen on the underdog's 1st or 2nd serve, but it can happen that the favorite breaks at the end of the set. It's not scary, the odds for this event are close to 3.0, which allows you to play calmly and raise your bets until you win. If the favorite makes a break, bets on this match must be stopped and another match should be looked for.

The described strategies do not differ in complex mathematical calculations and in-depth analysis. I did not want to give advice to a beginner in the game on too abstruse strategies. Well-known "Kelly Criterion", "Oscar Grind", "Danish System" and other sports betting schemes, a beginner should definitely not be considered as an introduction to the world of betting. Yes, and their profitability is not very attractive to me.

In conclusion, here are the 7 most important tips for beginners:

1. Do not rush to choose a bookmaker. Carefully read the reviews from well-known analysts and read reviews about the bookmaker from ordinary players. The most offensive thing is to run into an unscrupulous institution that will take your money illegally. For example, I have been betting through a betting company for several years now. "League of Stavok". There is a promotion going on right now: Freebet 500 rubles for registration«.
2. Turn off the excitement. If you are going to earn, and not have fun in the office, then forget what excitement is. Find a way to turn off this feeling.
3. Say no to Express. Yes, a small express in 2-3 well-chosen match outcomes is allowed. And “locomotives” of 10 events are a probable loss
4. Don't bet all-in because there are no 100% rates. Even an event with a coefficient of 1.01 may not pass.
5. Don't win back, but earn. You need to understand that when you lose, you don’t have to push yourself forward in order to win back the loss as soon as possible. If it so happens that part of the bank is lost, forget about this money and continue to play further according to the chosen strategy.
6. Do not blindly believe the odds. If a team has a coefficient of 1.15 in the line to win, this does not mean that it is a clear favorite and you can bet on its victory. Bookmakers also make mistakes and may misjudge an event. Analyze your bets and make them wisely.
7. Don't fall for the tricks of scammers. Remember that "fixed matches" are not sold for 1000 rubles, especially on the Internet. Information about "agreements" is worth thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars and is available in a narrow circle of people.

If you have read this article, I can safely say that do not make the mistake of beginners in sports betting. Try to open a demo account in the office and look for a strategy that suits you. And remember that it is not enough to test it for several days to identify a strategy. Experienced players, before playing for real money, test a certain sports betting scheme on a demo account for a month or more. Be patient, learn how to analyze matches correctly, and you will definitely be able to make money on sports betting.

Today you will learn how to make money on sports betting, what ways and strategies of earning really work, and how to start a beginner to earn his first money.

Hello dear readers. Congratulations - you found exactly what you were looking for! My name is Denis Kuderin, I am a player and expert of the online business magazine "HeaterBober.

Today I will tell you all I know about the recently popular direction of generating income - making money on bets!

Permanent earnings on bookmaker bets is a very real prospect that does not require special financial investments. There are only a few conditions needed to get started: desire, free time and a little patience.

So, let's find out how you can make money on bets, having zero experience in this business!

1. Earnings on bets - how much can a beginner really earn

Newbies often ask: “Is it possible to make money on bets and how much do ordinary people earn on this?”

Earning on bets is a highly risky investment, but this method of financial investment can bring much more profit than, say, a regular bank deposit. As for the risk, it is present in any operations related to finance.

Hence the first and largely defining betting rule for beginners: it’s worth playing at a bookmaker’s office only with free money - that is, those that you can spend without risk to your own well-being.

You should not play with money borrowed or from the general family budget.

However, it’s also not worth starting with a “little thing” game either: in order to bet according to the strategy and count on at least a theoretical profit, the bankroll (the initial size of the game bank) must allow you to make at least 50 bets equal in amount.

Let's try to figure out how to make money on bets, if not constant, then at least periodically. How to make a bookmaker a source of income?

There are professional handicappers (people for whom betting is a full-time job). They are engaged in sports analytics and are well versed in mathematical aspects. Becoming a professional is not easy: first we need to understand how a bookmaker works and master the main rules of sports forecasting.

So, to start betting, the following conditions are necessary:

• Permanent access to the Internet;
• Having several hours of free time every day;
• Mindfulness and the ability to control your emotions (this is one of the most important points);
• Initial capital (bankroll);
• Interest in any sport.

Usually beginners choose football, hockey or basketball. According to professionals, tennis is the most profitable for predicting, but if this sport is not to your liking, then you can start betting on football - this is the most popular sport in the whole world (except for the USA).

The real amount that a beginner can earn with minimal investment is 10% of the bank per month.

Of course, if you use risky strategies, you can actually earn all 50%, but then the probability of a complete drain of the bank inevitably increases.

Believe me, 10% is quite a decent figure, but you can achieve stability only if you follow certain rules and approach the business of sports forecasting soberly and rationally.

2. How bookmakers work

As practice shows, people of different ages try to make money on rates - from university students to pensioners. All these people are united by a love for sports - mainly in the status of fans. Why not make interest in sports competitions a source of permanent income?

Bookmakers (BC) daily lay out hundreds of different offers for us, from which we have the right to choose any. The advantage of the player lies in his right to choose any bet. Ideally, each player should only place a bet that is close to 100% certainty.

However, in practice, most bets are made thoughtlessly, in addition, a significant part of all bookmaker customers are amateurs who bet for their own pleasure.

You can approach sports betting from this point of view: bookmakers provide us with the opportunity to take risks and add adrenaline. And if with the money we win we still sometimes manage to buy flowers for our wife, and ice cream for our children, this is already wonderful.

But if you are reading this text, then your goal is not only to have fun, but also to get a stable profit over a long distance. To do this, the approach to betting must be strategic: playing for luck is not safe for capital.

A bookmaker's office, in essence, is an intermediary that takes a certain percentage for its services.

This percentage is called the margin - it is thanks to the margin that the probability of an outcome in percent for equally probable events offered by the bookmaker will not be 50/50, but, say, 47/47.

Where did the 6 percent go, you ask? The answer is that they went to the bookmaker for intermediary services. This is not yet the main source of income for the bookmaker.

Offices also make a profit by adjusting the coefficient according to public opinion and financial flows. In other words, the bookmaker knows where the average player will put money and artificially lowers the probability of this outcome, expressed in odds.

3. Step-by-step instructions for beginners on making money on bets

The system in sports betting is half the success.

For those who have never made bets in a bookmaker, it will not be superfluous to read the step-by-step instructions:

1. First you need to carefully read the rules of the bookmaker, understand the basic terms and concepts from the world of betting.
2. Then you need to register with the bookmaker, create an electronic wallet (WebMoney, Neteller, YandexMoney) if you don't have one yet.
3. The next step: replenishment of the deposit - you place a certain amount on your account in the BC.
4. Choose events and place a bet.
5. Some advise to save all coupons - won and lost - in electronic form (this will protect the player from disputes in the future).

The main problem of playing via the Internet is the effect of dragging players in and turning them into gamblers. Making bets via the Internet is very simple: just make a few clicks, but at the same time, large amounts can be transferred from your pocket to the bookmaker's account.

Tip: do not keep too large amounts of money in the account and withdraw profits more often, if any.

4. Strategies for making money on bets

There are dozens of strategies that allow you to make money at a bookmaker. But it will be enough for a beginner to get acquainted with the most reliable and profitable of them.

It should be understood that there are no win-win strategies, otherwise all offices would have been ruined long ago: there is only an opportunity to significantly increase the likelihood of making long-term profits by placing bets according to a certain scheme.

Game strategies

The most popular game strategies are:

• Bet on underestimated events (Value Betting);
• Betting surebets (arbitrage rates);
• Classic pre-match analysis;
• Playing in live mode;
• Dogon.

The vast majority of players try to guess or predict the outcome of the game without thinking about the financial efficiency of their game in the long run. Most bookmaker players are so-called "predictors" - they are not so much interested in money as in guessing the result.

There is also a fundamentally different category of players who, first of all, are guided by odds and long-term profit. If such players see a bet that is profitable in the long run, they will definitely make it. If you constantly bet on a coefficient overestimated by the bookmaker, then profit after a certain period of time is guaranteed.

This principle is called Value Betting ("value betting") - that is, bets on events underestimated by the bookmaker.

This principle can be more clearly explained by the following example. Most players always bet on the conditional Real Madrid, not paying attention to the odds and rightly believing that this superclub is stronger than its rival in any case. But the “valuers” do not take into account a specific match, but work for the future and bet against Real Madrid.

Since the odds for such an outcome are always very high, even a single misfire of the super club will bring more money than regular bets on the favorite.

Such strategies as "catching up" and "forks" in theory are win-win, but only in theory.

For such bets to be profitable, two conditions must be met:

• The player must have an infinite game bank;
• The bookmaker should allow him to bet any amount.

In practice, both conditions are unattainable for objective reasons. It’s still worth talking about these strategies, although we don’t advise beginners to practice them.

Catching up is a constant increase in the amount of the bet after each loss, which allows you to return the money with interest. Catching up is both a financial and gaming strategy. Let's say you bet on a draw for a certain team until this event happens, while each time increasing the amount in such a way as to cover financial losses and make a profit.

A draw will definitely happen, but there is a certain danger: it can happen at a time when you no longer have money for the next bet.

Surebets or arbitrage bets were once very popular, but now, when the odds offered by bookmakers are about the same everywhere, it is becoming more and more difficult to play on the difference. In addition, the offices themselves do not like arbers and can easily block their accounts, suspecting them of betting on arbitrage.

Financial Strategies

There are also many financial strategies:

• Fixed income;
• Martingale strategy;
• Kelly criterion;
• Flat.

It is believed that beginners should try to bet approximately the same amount. The game of a rigidly fixed amount in a long period of time is called "flat". We consider this strategy the most reliable and profitable. Moreover, after a long-term game, luck will clearly show whether the player has a gaming or mathematical advantage over the bookmaker.

5. Earnings on football bets

No professional handicapper makes a profit thanks to "feel" (intuition, luck, fortune). Of course, all sports forecasters need a certain amount of luck, but this quality is not a superpower, the result of experience and numerous mistakes. Yes, yes, for a smart person, mistakes are the best school.

In football, every fan considers himself an analyst, a predictor, an expert. This sport is unrivaled by bookmakers in terms of box office receipts. In no other sports discipline there are so many “specialists” who know who, how, when and why will win. Almost all players who come to bet for the first time in the betting shop, and for many it remains the main sport.

Meanwhile, it is not enough just to understand football and have statistical information to be successful in betting. Even experienced players and coaches do not always guess the winners. Soccer is a very unpredictable sport in which not the strongest opponent often wins.

This is explained simply: the low effectiveness of football games, the increased likelihood of refereeing errors and random goals.

To successfully bet on football, you must follow a number of simple but effective rules:

• Never bet on your favorite team (you will definitely either overestimate or underestimate it);
• Do not bet on all football leagues in a row: just choose one or two in which you are best versed;
• Try to bypass top matches (central matches of the tour, final fights): as a rule, the odds for such games are verified by bookmakers to hundredths;
• Control of emotions: the absence of excessive emotional reactions is a guarantee of stability.

And one more piece of advice: follow the movement of the coefficients, trying to bet on the most profitable value. For professionals, even tenths and hundredths matter.

6. Features of online betting

Today, most players bet at bookmakers via the worldwide web. It's easy to do this today.

Today, this powerful one provides a huge range of possibilities, from which it takes your breath away!

The company offers sports fans and active fans a qualitatively new level of service, as well as a huge selection of various events.

The events you can bet on include a wide variety of popular sports such as football, tennis, basketball, volleyball, ice hockey, golf, boxing, and more.

The presence of analytical, statistical, related and other information, on the one hand, gives users certain advantages, but on the other hand, almost all the factors that can and should be taken into account are taken into account by the bookmaker and included in the odds.

The advantage of a bookmaker over an ordinary player is obvious: the offices employ qualified analysts who use expensive software and clear mathematical calculations.

The bookmaker receives his profit regardless of the outcome of the competition: this is due to the very mechanism of making bets.

What is left for the player? It remains for him to choose, analyze, think and place bets strictly in accordance with his strategy and tactics. Invaluable assistance to handicappers is provided by software for working with arrays of statistical information, which can be bought or downloaded for free on the Internet.

Special programs will help:

• Calculate bet amounts;
• Find the optimal offer in terms of odds among many bookmakers;
• Keep financial statistics of your own rates.

It is important not only to find the necessary information on the Internet, but also to be able to use it. At present, it is possible to profit even from blogs, twitter, social media pages of athletes, especially those who perform in individual sports.

7. Basic rules for making money on bets for beginners

To earn money on sports betting, it is not enough to periodically guess the results of matches. It is necessary to constantly develop your abilities (both analytical and playing) and follow the advice of professional handicappers.

Each successful player has his own rules for earning money, but there are some points that almost all plus players in the bookmaker agree with:

1. Choosing the right bookmaker. A reliable online platform for the game is half the battle. Serious players have accounts in several offices that do not tend to limit limits and block successful players. I recommend
