Is it Possible to Consider Betting as a Normal Job?
How to win in the betting shop? This question is asked to themselves both by beginners and experienced players. We must understand that there is no exact algorithm. If he were, then everyone would simply put it as per instruction, and shops would be ruined.
The question is not how to win in the bookmakers, but how to regularly profit from the rates. Many people have an opinion that it’s impossible to make betting. But it is not so. There is a certain, albeit small percentage of people who receive a stable income from bets in shops.
Who wins at bookmakers?
What is the success of successful betters? Small bricks. Each brick is:
- Productive work with statistics;
- Correct calculations;
- Psychological sustainability;
- Cold head;
- Following the chosen strategy.
Some players in general understand how to win at the bookmaker, but when they make bets, this understanding disappears somewhere. He is replaced by excitement. During the losses, they begin to recoup, using aggressive strategies and do not control themselves anymore. Even if they manage to win something, then they again lose a large sum. Draining of the bank in such cases is inevitable.
Gambling and unbalanced people are contraindicated in games in shops. Despite the fact that these games are called gambling, the ardor needs to cool down. There is a category of people for whom simple calculations are tedious, or inaccessible, and it is not necessary to talk about more complex ones. They are also not recommended to play in the betting shop. Without mathematics, you will not be able to beat the shop, except on contractual contracts. These matches require a separate description, and access to them is obtained by a very limited number of subjects.
There are people who do everything right: put the right percentage from the bank, follow the chosen strategy, find matches with overvalued odds, use the bank correctly. But in the end they are trampled around zero, having neither profit nor loss. Many of them have potential, and with a certain work on themselves they can regularly win at the bookmakers.
Winners of the bookmakers will be those who have all the qualities from previous players and use their achievements. They absolutely turn off emotions when making a bet. Sometimes you might think they are robots, not people. According to statistics, the number of betters who regularly beat shops is about 3%.
Of course, not all bookmakers are ready to cooperate with successful customers. At a certain stage, the parties terminate the “contract”. But for bettors it does not matter. Now a huge number of bookmakers provide their services. In addition, literate players are registered in 4-5 or more shops, so as not to injure one with their winnings. By distributing revenues to several streams, such a player will not cause significant financial damage to any of the bookmakers.
How to receive stable income from bets?
Let’s remind the main factors, thanks to which the bettor wins at the betting shops. If you ignore even one of them, then betting will not bring a stable income.
Bank
The bettor should have a bank – the amount of money on the account in the shop, which must be used correctly. How to use the bank wisely? For this, the client of the betting shop must be a player, an accountant, and a little mathematician. Before you make a bet, you need to calculate the amount depending on the chosen ratio. How to calculate the amount, Kelly’s criterion, Miller’s management or the Flat strategy will tell us. Read in some articles on our site about successful, time-tested, betting strategies.
Experienced players break the bank into several parts for different strategies. This is a reasonable move. With it, you can optimize spending and increase revenue. This technique will be useful in the event that all strategies are checked by bettor, and all bets are correctly selected for it.
It must always be remembered that the size of each bet should be determined in accordance with the chosen financial strategy. The unmotivated increase in the transaction is not allowed, especially the use of Martingale, when each subsequent bet is multiplied.
Maintaining your betting statistics
All bets must be written down. It is better to make a table in the Excel, in which to keep a record of all prisoners betting. On the Internet there are ready templates for players. They can be downloaded for free. Statistics are needed in order to know exactly how much you won or lost money in the betting shop. With its help, it’s easy to find out whether there is a player in the black and/or in the minus at the moment. Experienced players know exactly what profit or loss they received in a particular month or a week.
Use strategies
To win in the bookmakers, one or more strategies will be needed. There are sports and financial strategies for betting. With the help of financial strategies, the player determines the size of the deal with the betting shop, calculates its coefficient and compares it with the coefficient of the shop, as well as determines the bookmaker’s margin and competently manages the bank. Examples of such strategies are:
- Kelly Criterion;
- Miller’s management;
- Flat;
- Plateau.
Sports strategies are adapted to a specific sport. There are many football, tennis, basketball and hockey strategies. Examples are:
- Goal in the first half (soccer);
- On the total of the angular (football);
- 40/40 (tennis);
- Even – odd (basketball);
- Total Over 1.5 (hockey).
How to understand the winning strategy or not? Even if you find the same strategy in each site about bookmaking, this does not mean that it is correct and that it is easy to win on it. To assess its prospects, you can visit the forum, which communicate bettors. Perhaps there it will be possible to find useful information in the form of reviews or results.
It’s better to test the strategies yourself. This can be done in several ways. The first is to set the minimum amount. The second is to use a demo account. With its help, players bet on virtual money. After making 100-200 bets, see how much the bank has increased or decreased after them. Comparing the figures, it is easy to understand whether the chosen strategy is suitable or not.
To understand at least theoretically the prospects or utopianism of the method, it is necessary to look at the statistics and find the archive of the bookmaker lines (some shops on their sites provide line archives).
In the archive, find the events that fit the strategy. Further, all the events seem to “insert” into the strategy and consider the winnings and losses. Determine the difference. If it is positive, then the method of the game is good, if not – put it aside. In this way, you can simulate a bet on totals, odds.
Finding advantageous coefficients
If you find an event with a coefficient that is higher than yours, then it can be considered for a bet. This is a valuable event, it is called a vale. Your task is to find them in a line. You find an event with an overvalued ratio, calculate the amount of the transaction – the percentage of the bank and put the amount received.
Depending on the coefficient, the player needs to guess a certain number of bets. This amount is called a break-even point. For example, to get a profit of 5% of the betting on events with a coefficient of 1.7, you need to win 61.7% of the wager. It is better to use the break-even point calculator to calculate the required percentage of won bets.
On the Internet, you can find enough services on which the lines of famous bookmakers are monitored. Users can follow the changes in the coefficients and look at the archives of the lines of some shops.
There are special applications (radars) that scan the coefficients of football championships from all over the world. If there are sharp changes in quotations, the program distinguishes this duel, and you can see how much the coefficient has slipped. The benefit of such programs is that they cover a huge number of matches, and you do not need to constantly monitor the coefficients.
Some players with the help of such services find contractual matches. It should be understood that such fights are no more than a dozen per month, so it is not easy to find them. Another thing is that you can focus on individual countries, in which the number of contractual matches is great. There are separate teams that stand out from this. If you find such teams, learn more about the situation in the team and analyze the previous matches for the contractual nature of the game, you can make a neat bet on them.
If you learn to determine the chances of teams more or less accurately, that is, correctly set the coefficients, then the results in betting will improve significantly, and it will become much easier to beat the bookmaker.
Discipline and strict observance of all rules
Maybe it will seem strange, but your biggest win in bookmakers is a victory over yourself. Not in the sense, of course, that you will lose your bets in the shop. The point is to follow all the rules, even in those situations when the losing series came. It should be understood that if you put up to 2% of the bank, use the Kelly criterion, then the probability of merging the bank is negligible.
Therefore, do not be embarrassed when a series of several consecutive losses has gone. Yes, it is better when everything goes well – the winnings go one by one, and there is a feeling that you have understood everything and everything is given easily. Series of victories are replaced by series of losses – this is normal. The main thing is that the balance should be positive. The most difficult thing is not to succumb to temptation and charge the amount to win back the lost money. Exercise self-control and composure. Turn off emotions. Behave like a machine that only knows how to count, and it will be easier to win.
Using a demo account
Convenient means to understand, whether it is necessary for you generally to play in betting shops is a demo account. The biggest winnings in the betting shop are virtual, of course. Nevertheless, a demo account will save you from reckless spending and rash decisions. With it, you can test your strategies, understand which competitions and championships you best put. A demo account is a good test of abilities in betting. With its help it is easier to understand, in betting on what kinds of sports it is easier to win at the bookmaker.
Look for shops that enable you to open a demo account that was as close to the real account as possible. That is, in order not to have this: on a demo account, you can bet on an event, but on a real one, no longer.
Remember that many players are not successful because they do not understand how to bet correctly, or do not use strategies. All the above described methods of the game, they can know well, but in the course of transactions they begin to rule the excitement, and all calculations for them are already irrelevant. The low level of game discipline is the cause of the defeats. It’s like in sports: there are technical players and teams that demonstrate an interesting and combinational game, but ordinary inattention, violation of game discipline leads to annoying bloopers and, as a result, defeats.
Can I win at the bookmakers? You can, if you approach this kind of earnings, how to work and you are serious about every bet and draw conclusions from your losses. Remember that with a coefficient of 2 you must guess more than 52% of your bets, with a coefficient of 4 more than 26% and so on.
How to choose the events?
It’s no secret that on popular events the odds do not reflect the real alignment of the opponents’ forces. That is, they are underestimated on favorites, whereas outsiders are overestimated. Why is this happening? Most people bet on the favorite, they think that he can easily win, so the odds are falling on them. Lowering the coefficients of the shop regulates cash flows in such a way that in any case, to stay in the win.
What do you need to do in this case? Bet on the outsider, but not so straightforward – on his victory or a draw. Analyze the line, find there the popular events, where there is a favorite and an outsider. Check if the ratio is understated by the favorite and overestimated by an outsider. As a rule, this is so. At large coefficients – such as 6.7, 9 it is often possible to find an advantageous proposal.
Look at the statistics of the “outsider”. It may well be that he did not lose a long time, so you can take it with a handicap. Remember that your main goal is to find events with overvalued coefficients first, and then to filter them out using statistics. Then you yourself will understand how to win at the betting shops.
Example strategy (bet on corners)
Consider one interesting football strategy. It is that you need to bet on the total corner in the second half of the football match. If you are wondering how to beat the betting shop, then this strategy may be appropriate.
What is its essence? The matter is that some bookmakers expose quotations on the general totals of the corner teams before the beginning of the second half. They are based on the average total for the whole match. The total points for the whole match are in the range of 10-12. That is, total 9.5 and 10.5 are the most popular. Based on this, the totals for the halves will be 5.5.
The shop does not take into account the nature of the game in the first half. Whether there were 10 corners, or 2, all the same, the total of the second half will be 5.5. For us it is better, if in the first half there are many corners. If the teams are actively playing the game, create moments in the first half, then you can expect the same game in the second, with a lot of angular.
Observations showed that this technique is most effective in the following cases:
- In the first half of the meeting, rivals gave corners at least 9 times;
- The number of corners divided roughly equally between the participants. The maximum margin on the corner of one of the teams can be 2;
- After the first 45 minutes of the game, there should not be a significant scoring advantage of one of the staff, as well as deletions. If they are, then the score of red cards should be equal.
- The total on the corner in the game break does not exceed 5.5;
- The total factor should not exceed 1.75.
The strategy can be improved if you perform the following actions:
- We find fights in minutes 15 before the end of the first half, in which more than 6 corner fights are submitted, while we watch that points 2-4 are fulfilled;
- Find an online game broadcast;
- Follow the picture of the game. It is necessary that it be equal, with the moments, the attacks took place mainly on the flanks with numerous canopies in the penalty area. Great match for British matches.
- If for 10 minutes there were no corners and there were no prerequisites for them, then this match is skipped and proceed to the next one.
- If all points are met, then in the break we put on total Over 5.5 corner.
Strive to play fair
After a certain number of bets, the bettor discovers that he has no profit. Desperate, he can resort to various fraud and not very honest methods. It can be the registration of several accounts under other people’s names, betting and other methods. However, one must understand that bookmakers have long known these methods. Sooner or later they calculate such actions of their client and block his account.
Arbers are well aware of such methods of operation of the shop. It is not always that such betters block the account. It’s enough just not to accept some bets so that they lose the desire to use arb strategies. For example, if you find an arb, then you must immediately put all the outcomes the right amount. Knowing this, some bookmakers either change the odds for these players, and the arb “breaks”, or blocks the possibility of betting at the most crucial moment, “when happiness was so close”.
More severe punishment is waiting for players who use someone else’s personal data. Having learned that one person in reality uses from 2 or more accounts, the administration can deprive such an agent of the opportunity to bet by blocking his account. Malicious violators are annulled without an opportunity to return the money they won.
It is better to be initially tuned to honest cooperation with the bookmaker. When registering, it is necessary to enter truthful personal data so that later there are no disputable situations and do not have to try to get the money that was won by titanic efforts.
Do not think that it’s impossible to win honestly from the betting shop. This is far from the case. The number of events with overestimated coefficients is large. It is enough to find fights in which the favorites play. Quotations on their rivals are always profitable. Experienced bettors know how to use them when making a bet.
Conclusions
You can beat the bookmaker. Moreover, by and large, the shop does not care how the winnings are distributed among its customers. Its task is to properly quote quotes and get a stable margin. So do not be afraid to make the right bets. Having an account in several shops, and playing everywhere honestly, you can have a stable income.
The number of strategies can be infinite. Watch the matches, find interesting patterns, mark important moments for yourself. Sometimes the combination of such notes, observations and plus some idea or thought will help create a new methodology for rates. Check it, run it on a virtual account. If you master one or more strategies, you will observe all the conditions specified above, then you will steadily beat the bookmaker.
