6 Myths about Sports Betting in Bookmakers

Myths are everywhere.  They wander day and night over our heads and in the process of this fermentation give birth to new myths.

Betting is no exception to the presence of myths and legends in it.  In addition, here you can pretty much come up with.  Moreover, the listener does not even need to be convinced of the reliability of the information.  Especially beginning bettors are ready to believe in any nonsense, if only she promised big earnings.  In this article, we would like to dispel several myths related to betting on sports events in bookmakers.  We will list the myths that cause a smile, as well as those myths that most betters believe in.  So, let’s get started.

Myth 1. The “Favorite” betting strategy has a good long-distance yield

Here we must proceed from the contrary.  If the strategy of bets “For the favorite” worked, then all bookmakers would have long ago gone bankrupt and closed.  Why? What was the first bet you made at the bookmaker’s office? Most beginning players, coming to such an institution, bet on the express created from the bets on the favorite, or simply a bet on the favorite.  Most likely, in betting shops the bet on the favorite is the most popular because of its deceptive simplicity.  But bookmakers are still working, despite the fact that most of their customers are betting on favorites.  Hence, this strategy is not so stable.  But why?

It’s all about the margin imposed by the bookmaker himself.  It greatly reduces the already small coefficient.  As a result, after deduction of all commissions, a penny is paid to a bettor.  It is also worth noting that the favorite also sometimes loses, therefore, there will be times when your bets will not play.  And God forbid that you end up in the “0”, and do not stay in the red.

Of course, it happens that the bookmaker makes mistakes and puts higher coefficients where they need to be smaller.

Myth 2. Playing on the sure bets is a completely safe strategy that always works

We hope you do not need to explain what bookmakers are.  Many bettors are confident that the game on the sure bets is 100% profit and no risks.  But, as you understand, this is not quite true.  Of course, in theory, bookmakers are really a working strategy, but in practice everything is completely different.

Making bets on bookmakers, you can face a lot of different kinds of problems:

1. That bookmaker, who had a winning shoulder, can make a return bet. As a result, the bettor will lose the amount of one shoulder of the “plug”.
2. After the bet is placed on the first shoulder of the sure bet, the coefficient on the second arm will change. At best, the bettor will not lose anything, and in the worst case, it will remain in the red.
3. Each bookmaker has its own rules. So, the difference in these very rules can lead to the fact that both shoulders of sure bets will not play.
4. Sure bet can prevent the difference between the maximum bets in two offices, the selected event. That is, the amount of the bet on the first shoulder is, for example, $ 500, and the maximum bet on the opposite outcome in another bookmaker is only $ 300.  As a result, the bettor is trapped.

In addition to the above, the sure bets have other problems: they are despised in all offices, they freeze accounts, block accounts, return bets, cut limits, and also very reluctantly pay out the funds.  What, what, but this strategy is certainly not safe.

Myth 3. Decrease in the coefficient for the victory is a call for a contractual match

Many bettors believe that if the coefficient for the victory of a team began to drop sharply, it means that, most likely, she bought the game, and this match is negotiable.  But this is absurd.  In general, it is unclear where this stupid proposition came from.

Factors that affect the reduction of the coefficient, just a lot. Coefficient to go down to win one team when the bookmaker finds out that her opponent does not have a key attacker on the field.  And anyway, most influential bookmakers almost always have additional information.  This is especially true for popular football meetings.

The coefficient may also change if it was originally set incorrectly. That is, the analysts of the office made a mistake, and the usual betters corrected it with their bets.  This happens when there is much more money for one outcome than the bookmaker originally planned.

Myth 4. In order to be a successful bettor, it’s enough to thoroughly study the commands within one league and bet only on them

No, no one claims that knowing all the commands of any football league is bad. On the contrary, it is even very good.  The emphasis here is on what people think, this is enough to become a successful bettor. They forget about the fact that you need to keep a record of your bets. Also they forget that it is necessary to properly dispose of their bank, take breaks in the game, do not be gambling, do not bet on your favorite team and so on.  It is not enough to know one league to become a successful player, much more is needed.

Myth 5. A small difference in the odds means nothing

Here it is a question of that it is necessary to search for the best coefficient.  Most newcomers in bets do not like to do this.  As a rule, they make their bets within the same bookmaker office.  This is very bad.  After all, not always, the BS chosen by you, offers the best kefs.  You may think that this still does not affect the general bank.  However, professional betters will not agree with you.  And why? For example, your bank is $ 5,000, and you make three bets at $ 100 per day.  Half of the bets you win, and half lose, but still, you play a plus.  Your bets you make on the coefficient at 1. 95. However, the next bookmaker, which is not inferior to the comfort of your BS, offers the same outcomes for the coefficients 2. 05.  You know, if you were betting on odds at 2. 05, then at the end of the year the total bank would be $ 2,000 more.  And given that the initial bank was only $ 5,000, then such a return only on the difference in the coefficients is very good.

Myth 6. If a capper is successful, he can constantly increase the bank

This is a fundamentally wrong statement. A real good privateer increases the bank by 10-15% per month. If the player has doubled the bank in one month, then, most likely, he was lucky. He uses a very risky strategy and sooner or later he will lose anyway. And those who increased their bank by 10-15%, will continue to do so.

So we dispelled a few myths about sports betting in bookmakers. Do not see yourself at all nonsense. Before you believe something, just sit down and think carefully, because it may depend on it, whether you lose the bank or replenish it.
