Play Against the Community Strategy and Tips for Players

The betting market is constantly changing, and many strategies are becoming ineffective. There is a need to develop new, more effective ones. Of course, any strategy has its disadvantages and advantages, but choose betters. We will understand one of the proposed strategies called “play against the community”.

The essence of the strategy

It is becoming increasingly difficult to use this system with the expansion of the Internet and the decrease in the popularity of PABs. Until 2000, this strategy yielded good incomes.

In short, it consists of bets against obvious favorites. For this, the better came to the bets reception point, asked the game owners about which team would most likely win. Then he went to other PPS or bars and told the same story to other betters. As a result, he was confident that the majority would bet on the chosen team, but he himself made the opposite bets, getting a win at the expense of high coefficients.

Why is this system previously profitable, but now it does not bring such income? The fact is that previously it was decided to calculate the coefficients based on the opinions of the fans. A lot of games took place every week, and it was easy for the bookmaker to determine which team the audience would prefer. Accordingly, the line was corrected. The betting limits were small, so that on the favorites bookmakers took a lot of bets, overstating the odds on outsiders.

It should also be noted that professionals for the game were not allowed. Their presence was tightly controlled. Betting shops were created for amateurs, and there were no place for cappers.

In the mid-2000s, the situation began to change dramatically. The growth in the number of sites offering bookmaking services made many think that online betting has reached its peak, at least in the area of the number of betters. Bookmaker companies began to form special websites, where professionals played. The betting limits here reached unprecedented heights, opening wide opportunities for players. The sites exhibited slogans: “The main thing is not the payment, but the income”. This meant that for a professional better, it was not the earnings that mattered, but the process of the game itself. Changed for the better and quotes. However, the function of bookmakers has changed significantly: their task was to correctly build the lines, so that they themselves do not remain in the red.

If earlier professionals were waiting for the opening of the line in order to gain value on the difference in coefficients, while the line was not yet adjusted, now it is unlikely that bookmakers will be able to surprise the professional market with something new. All they have to do is equalize the quotes according to incoming cash flows. Today, such professional sites, which were the first to win the game space, are still the most recognized. Among them are PinnacleSports, TheGreek.com.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, there are not so many professional players left today who have a big bankroll. And few of them can determine the benefit of the opening line.

Professional sites tend to line the lines first. Entertainment sites tend to have the worst lines: they are easy to calculate among other resources. As a result, the entertainment site is forced to adjust and adjust the line according to professional resources, but it needs to be done with even greater skill so that the professional capper does not find anything interesting for itself here. Amateur resources are created just for amateurs, and the administration does not expect that some experienced capper will decide to beat the shop for a large sum. If professionals calculate, then take appropriate measures against them (cut bets, bills, stop access to the site, etc.).

So, as a result, with the development of the Internet and professional capers, the game against the community becomes less relevant. There can be only two exceptions:

• little studied market that the player uses;
• short-term profit.

With a focus on long-term profit, playing against the community will not bring the desired result. Variants of the strategy of the game against the community (betting on the underdog playing on his field, bet on a weak favorite, etc.) also bring little profit.

Nevertheless, many amateurs continue to use the game against the community if they want to get a short-term profit. When betting in the Runet, this strategy is a preference for the outcome, which is not put by the majority. However, this bet should be justified for yourself, otherwise it will not make sense. For example, a favorite like and looks like a team, his last meetings were fruitful, but changing the lineup could lead to a draw or a loss. Given the factors that other betters do not see, you can make a significant profit.

Conclusions

So, the strategy “game against the community” was really relevant, as long as the amateur sports clubs, PAB and Internet resources operated. Today, in the conditions of the world gaming community, scattered on the Internet, the game against the community becomes more difficult, and with the advent of professional markets – even more difficult.

Gradually, derivative betting comes to the fore. Derivative is a market of rates, which is formed from an even larger one. For example, when one of the NFL teams opens an account, you can bet on total or odds. A large market after opening an account will necessarily be adjusted by the shops, while with the derivative market this will not happen.

Another effective strategy is teasers. This strategy is simple and easy to master.

Choosing ways of playing, be guided by modern markets and their possibilities. Remember: in the betting strategy becomes obsolete quickly enough, and to get a good win, you need to constantly improve.
