What is So Special About STOP Strategy for Football Bets?

This strategy was outlined by the author on one of the forums. It can provide real profit, but it looks too simple, and it is unlikely that any of the modern bookmakers will allow the execution of such tactics. But first about the strategy itself, its pros and cons and then how it can be improved.

The stop strategy

The strategy is based on writing stop on the game coupon. If you select 2-3 teams in the coupon, then if one loses, it will lose with the entire coupon. To prevent this, you can use the phrase stop. She will stop the game if the first team wins. Thus, if the first bet turns out to be winning, then the coupon stops the game of the following bets.

Let us give an example. Let’s say we chose teams A and B for bets. In the coupon, we mark the bets:

Team A – 10 dollars

Team B – $ 30

Next, we write the phrase Stop at a winner

If Team A wins, the game will automatically stop. The betting ratio should be 1: 3. Now we are writing one more coupon.

Team B – 10 dollars

Team A – $ 30

Then we write the same phrase.

The total amount of bets is $ 40.

If the team A wins, then in the first coupon the bets will be suspended, and in the second coupon the second bet will play.

If in general to evaluate this strategy, it seems rather naive. It’s unlikely that any bookmakers will admit bets with mutually exclusive results. If a draw happens, then the bets in all coupons are lost. Therefore, there is an exception, which the author did not mention. Since the stakes are mainly for football, the losses can be frequent. So it’s better to make such bets on basketball or volleyball, i.e. games where wins happen more often than anyone else’s.

Another disadvantage of this strategy is that it is very difficult to find a bookmaker, where this strategy is applicable. By the way, the author himself at the forum does not say where he applies it. Despite the simplicity and naivety of the strategy, it can be improved.

Options for the stop strategy

This variant of the strategy can be applied on the Betfair exchange. Choose two matches that go at one time. We make two bets on favorites. In this case, the coefficient does not matter. For example, you can put 50 dollars.

If the first favorite scores a goal, then we will need to equalize the profit at the first bet and losses on the second. However, in any case, the profit will be greater than the losses that in your power to minimize.

Another outcome of the situation is possible. Let’s say one of the favorites missed the goal. At this time we raise the bet on the second, two or three times. At this time, the second favorite scores a goal, which is what we need. In the same period, the first favorite can also call the account. This is enough to minimize losses. Also you can wait until one of the favorites will score the second goal.

In general, our hope is that one of the favorites will win in the first half. You can wait and end the game, but equalize the losses and profits better on the results of the first half, while you can still change something.

A variant of the stop strategy is also the “if” rate. It consists in the fact that there are 2 or more bets (the total number is up to 15 bets) for two events independent of each other. However, the second bet will be activated if the first bet wins or the bet is returned. The time in which the matches are held does not matter. The bet is made before the first time event. If the first bet turns out to be a winning one, then the funds for the second bet are taken from the first win. The amount of the second bet is determined in advance and can be equal to the winnings from the first. A similar variant of strategies is possible in American shops. Unfortunately, they are all underground, because they are banned in America.

Conclusions

The stop strategy and its variants are difficult to implement in the shops of the CIS countries. The fact is that they are largely adapted to the traditions of a particular country. For example, the first version of the stop strategy is really real, if you are in England. For residents of the CIS, it seems completely unacceptable: almost none of the bookmakers will not allow this, and manual coupons are not accepted in the PAB. In England, sacred honor traditions: this applies to betting. So the British do not spare time to fill the coupon. In this case, the stop strategy can work if the bookmaker has such functions.

The “if” bet works in US shops, but the downside is that you illegal bookmakers can act in dishonest ways.

The most rational way to use this strategy can be a betting exchange. Here you can offer your own bets.

The next task for implementing this strategy is to find 2 or 3 matches, where there will be obvious favorites. In this case, the matches must go simultaneously. The task is quite difficult if you are not good at sports. We will have to analyze several teams at once, as the favorite offered by the shop is not always such. Coefficients do not always reflect the situation truthfully. If it was so easy to determine the favorite, then all the betters would have been winning constantly. Thus, to ensure a win-win for this strategy, you will have to rely not only on the bookmaker’s opinion and intuition, but also careful analysis. Look at how many recent matches were won, what is the motivation, and also take into account the statistics of the latest games. We make a conclusion based on the collected data and identify the favorite. Do not be scared that the name of the team does not match the opinion of the bookie. Remember that the bookmaker does not always expose the low odds on the obvious favorites, and specifically calls the quotes.

The stop strategy, of course, is far from ideal. Like any tactic, it can only be approached by the person who knows how to deal with it. Despite its simplicity, skills and knowledge are necessary to obtain a stable profit. If you have those, then go ahead!
