Even/odd Strategy for Live Betting on Basketball

This strategy should be used for betting on basketball matches in Live betting mode (betting during the game). In fact, this is usual Martingale, where the object for betting is even/odd live-bets on basketball. Just like in Martingale strategy, after each losing bet, you need to increase the amount of the bet to win back the loss and make a profit. But this strategy has some differences. You can say this is a simplified version of Martingale with a narrower framework.

To apply the even/odd strategy you need to have a bank, say 1000 dollars (5000, 10.000 any at the discretion of the player). Odds on even/odd are usually within 1.80-1.90. The player must choose odd or even. If you select odd, you should always bet on an odd result. Experienced players advise choosing odd. You need to bet on the quarter odd.

Let’s see how this strategy works in practice. Bank – 1000 dollars. The object for betting is odd in a quarter of the basketball game. The starting bet is 40 dollars. The odds should be fixed for better understanding, for example, 1.80.

So, we choose a basketball game, which has just started, and in Live bet 40 dollars for an odd result in the first quarter at 1.80. If the first quarter ends with an odd result, the win will be 1.90 × 40 = 76, where 36 dollars is the net profit. We leave this match and are looking for another basketball duel, which has just begun. With this, everything is clear.

If our bet loses – odd in the first quarter, we bet 70 dollars on the odd in the second quarter at 1.90. If the bet plays, the winnings will be 70 × 1.90 = 133, where 63 dollars are our net income. From this amount we take 40 dollars, lost before, and we get a profit of 23 dollars.

In the event that the second bet also loses, you should bet 160 dollars per odd in the third quarter. If this bet also turns out to be a losing one, you need to bet 380 dollars on an odd basis in the fourth quarter. Let’s imagine that the fourth bet wins: 380 × 1.90 = 722 dollars. In total, we put 380 + 160 + 70 + 40 = 650 dollars. It turns out that the profit is 34 dollars, since 722 – 650 = 72. The loss of all four bets is practically eliminated.

Important: for this strategy it’s extremely important to bet in bookmakers with very high odds (Pinnaclesports, WinLine, SboBet, Bet365, William Hill, and it’s better to have accounts in all top 5 of these bureaus and bet every bet where there are the best odds), otherwise there will be additional losses due to the difference of the odds.
