How to make money on sports betting with minimal risk

How bookmakers work

Bookmakers are gambling establishments that accept bets on sports championships. They are officially registered with tax authorities, so accepting bets is a legal gambling business.

A bookmaker is an official who accepts money from a person making a bet, assesses the probability of the outcome of the event and sets the odds. The bet of the bookmaker's client is multiplied by this coefficient. And the result of multiplication is the reward for the person who made the bet.

The office accepts bets on all sports:

• football,
• hockey,
• basketball,
• volleyball,
• handball,
• tennis and others.

Recently, bets have been accepted on championships that are held in virtual reality among players of online games such as Dota 2, World of Tanks.

Parallel rates

This risk reduction tactic is highly questionable, but... Betters often use it, so let’s look at it in detail. As an example, consider another football match, this time in the English Premier League.

One of the favorites of the championship - Liverpool and an outsider club that recently moved to the major league from the Championship - Hull City will meet on the field. Analysis of performance statistics during the season gave the following results.

Liverpool is the undisputed leader in the pair, performs consistently well at home and scores a lot. However, it also has a weak point - defense; the matches in which the hosts won with a clean sheet can be counted on one hand.

Hull City is a young, ambitious club with two or three great attacking players. Victories for the squad are rare, but the team scores regularly.

So, we make two obvious bets: the first is for Liverpool to win and the second is for Hull City to score. The likelihood that both predictions will turn out to be incorrect is negligible, so even if one of them does not work, we will be able to stay with our money.

The match became a real sensation and ended in a victory for Hull City 0:2. We lost one bet, but managed to win another.

This system does not completely eliminate risk, but it greatly increases the chances of winning among bettors with analytical skills.

What are odds

Odds are a numerical multiplier that expresses the probability of an event occurring in a competition and includes the bookmaker's margin. Numerical values ​​may change depending on the number of bettors and changes in the probability of the event. Your winnings depend on this numerical value.

Attention! The bookmaker's margin is the percentage taken by the office regardless of whether the client loses or wins.

Bookmakers may underestimate or inflate odds. Everything depends on the decision of the experts and analysts who work in it. Therefore, it is important to compare the odds for certain bets at different bookmakers in order to always be a winner.

Are there exceptions?

Some online reviews are full of this message: someone invested a couple of dollars in bets and unexpectedly won millions of dollars. Yes, such situations happen, but it is most likely pure luck. Average bettors lose more often than they earn, but overall there is still a small plus. Sometimes the average bettor has a chance to win big once in a bet within 1 calendar year, and then he will be in the “flight” all the time.

For example, let's tell you one funny incident. At the European Football Championship in 2004, one of the Greeks was patriotic about his country's national team and bet €7,000 before the start of the match. All bookmakers assessed Greece's chances with odds of 50. When the Greek national team unexpectedly left the group, the Greek bet another €14,000, but with odds of 10. According to the results of the events, Greece won, to the surprise of many, and the Greek managed to earn almost €600,000 Another case, in the United Kingdom, one bettor collected a full express of 14 settlement events, where he decided to bet the pot in the amount of only 2 pounds. Then the Briton unexpectedly saw 92 thousand British pounds in his account. Such a stunning effect was achieved by the totality of the set odds plus the bookmaker’s incentive bonus, which was initially included.

In the same Britain, an equally incredible incident occurred. The bettor bet only 10 pounds in one calculated express on the UK quarter-final matches. But, he decided for himself to put positive outcomes only on outsiders. In this situation, the bookmaker's odds could be about 100,000, and the final calculation of the winnings would be at least 1 million British pounds. When there was only one outcome left before the final winning end, the organizer of the sports forecasting office was ready to offer the bettor to take away approximately 15 thousand pounds in cash without talking, but the bettor’s phone was suddenly turned off. In the final outcome, unfortunately for the bettor, the express failed, and this truly fantastic story ended up on the Internet. The event organizer nevertheless contacted the player and offered him a consolation prize, which in total amounted to no more than 1 thousand pounds sterling.

So, to win successfully, you don’t always need to be an experienced player, but rather just pure luck. But such cases are very rare, and even exceptional in betting, and the information becomes publicly available.

Types of sports betting

In addition to odds, you should know that bets come in different types and are further divided into types. There was a case when my friend placed an “express” and lost quite a decent amount. He did not know that if he loses one event in this bet, then all the winnings are lost.

To prevent you from falling into such a trap, let's look at what bets there are and how they differ.

1. Ordinary. This is the simplest type of bet. You bet on one event. If the team you bet on wins, you take the winnings equal to the amount of money you bet multiplied by the bet odds.
2. Express. In it you can bet on several events. The trick is that if all outcomes win, you will receive an impressive amount of money. If even one loses, the winnings will be completely lost.
3. System. This is a collection of “express trains”. Here the probability of losing is high, but you can also win, even if a separate choice in the combination does not match.

Nine and a half ways. How to make money on bets without risk and what will happen next

Current day: +20-17=4 +244.65$ -142.00$ Profit: +102.65$

Hello everyone, absolutely everyone!

There is an opinion that you cannot make money on bets in the long term. Because bookmakers are created not for players to earn money, but for gamblers to have fun and get even more pleasure from watching sporting events. It's like going to the movies and paying to watch it. Or how to pick up an expensive prostitute. Pay and enjoy. Or you don’t get it, it’s not all Maslenitsa. But not everyone fully understands and accepts this philosophy and views betting as a way to make money. It's like downloading a movie on the Internet for free or inventing love so as not to pay for sex.

But let's not get distracted. Today I want to talk about ways that allow you to make money on bets without risking anything. How conditionally depends on the chosen method. Let me make a reservation right away: almost all methods are legal from a legal point of view, but bookmakers have different attitudes towards them. Some will actually let you leave with the money, while others will block the account or cut the maximums. So,

Forks. The most common type of risk-free bet. I won’t explain what it is, you probably know it yourself. And if you don’t know and Google still hasn’t banned you, go ahead and get some information.

Finding sure bets is not that difficult; corresponding sites and sure bet scanners multiply on the Internet like rabbits on a rainy night. To make good money here, you need to keep large sums of money from many beeches and bet the maximum - after all, the amount of earnings depends on the betting turnover. More and more bookmakers have a negative attitude towards them - cutting the maximums at best and getting rid of unnecessary clients at worst. But they may allow you to withdraw money first. You have to create several accounts, which is also strictly suppressed by beeches. Considering that the means of calculating arbers are being improved day by day, we can safely assume that, by and large, the time of arbers is passing.

There are only a few sportsbooks that still allow betting. But the problem is that finding a sure bet among these few companies is quite problematic.

Corridors. A type of bet where different beeches have a corridor for a handicap or total. If the team gets into the corridor, both bets are triggered; if not, an expense occurs. For me, this is a type of surebing, only here the winnings are not based on the difference in odds, but on the difference in the values ​​of handicaps and totals.

Usually the consequences are the same - bookmakers cut accounts or block accounts. Sometimes they may allow you to withdraw money before this.

Aftergoals. It is known that in most cases, several seconds pass between an event at the stadium and a change in bookmaker quotes. From Latin America, for example, a signal can reach a bookmaker in 8-12 seconds. If you are at the stadium, or have a faster broadcast than the bookmaker (and there are such things), this is enough to place a bet on an event that has already occurred (a goal scored, a set won, etc.).

There is a popular story that some bookmaker traders bet on competitors' after-goals. Although it seems to me that this is not a story at all.

Bookmaker mistakes. Some players use book errors in quotes for risk-free bets. Errors can be different - from technical to analytical. And if beeches usually turn a blind eye to the use of the latter, bets on technically erroneous odds are almost always refunded. Almost, because sometimes you can still win. But abuse of such bets can lead to the bookmaker closing the account.

Bonus hunters. The category of people who earn money from bookmaker bonuses. Usually, in order to withdraw a bonus, you need to wager it - bet the bonus amount several times. To do this, bets of different poles are made on different beeches with bonuses. A low-margin book without a bonus is also suitable. Even if you lose 10-50% of the bonus, you can still earn a little. But in order to earn money constantly, you need to open a new account every time, since bonuses are mainly given only to new players. And this risks blocking the game account for multi-accounting.

Bets on fixed games. At the beginning of the text, I wrote that almost all methods are legal in terms of jurisprudence. This “almost” refers specifically to the method in question. After all, it’s one thing if you know about the Great Danes in advance and only bet on them. Or, even worse, you initiate a fixed match to make money on bets. Here you can end up in jail.

But there are matches that you can safely bet on. Matches in which both teams are satisfied with a certain result. The most striking example is the 2-2 draw between Sweden and Denmark at Euro 04. UEFA did not find any signs of a match-fixing; accordingly, all winnings were paid to the players. But usually for such matches the odds for the desired result are greatly underestimated by the beeches, and they do not always end as expected.

Not bet, but accept bets. The surest way to make money on bets. Just become a bookmaker. Yes, they sometimes go bankrupt too. But in the age of progress, when a line can be bought from specialists, and bets can be rearranged from strong beeches, even the smallest beeches can be in big advantage. Obtaining a license and opening a bookmaker's office is difficult and requires considerable investment. For those who are not at all an option, look at the next method.

Partnership and advertising. An even surer way to make money on bets. Many bookmakers offer to earn money by participating in an affiliate program or advertising their office. It’s clear about advertising, but the essence of the affiliate program is to attract new players. Today, every schoolchild can cook up a website on their knees with crooked hands. True, the profit from such a site will only be enough to buy beer for school lunches. But a professionally created and promoted portal can bring quite decent money.

Paper bets. By placing such bets, you will never lose anything. Many people think that you won’t win anything. How to say. For me, you will win everything that you did not actually bet. As one famous commentator said, “I consider the amount that remains in my pocket after leaving the casino to be a win.” I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the quote, but that’s the meaning.

Betting for fun. This is the same half from the title of the article. And the most basic purpose of betting. You will earn money only with unique luck, but adrenaline while watching even the most dull match is guaranteed.

If none of the above methods suits you, then you have chosen the wrong area for making money. But this is just my humble opinion, which sometimes may not coincide even with my immodest one.

And now - disco. That is, the bets for today.

In theory, Tim is stronger, as evidenced by recent head-to-head matches. But the team fell to the first division from the top and has so far had a bad start. The guests, on the contrary, won all three matches at the start. Hence the coefficient. Well, that makes it even more interesting.

We decided to experiment and set not just a handicap, but a handicap and a draw, since recently most football with a handicap ended in a draw and a return.

The drop in odds on Team is quite significant, almost 30% in a couple of days. 15-20 Moscow time

6 March 22-45 Italy Lega Pro. Group S. Lecce-Juve Stabia Draw-5$ (round 3.30) F2(0)-5$ (round 2.30)— -10$

March 6, 22-00 France. League 3 National. Avranches-Consolya Draw-3$(round 3.40)— -3$ F2(0)-3$(round 3.45)+++ +7.35$

Another match from the French third division and another value bet. Let me note that I’m betting on the guests to win, but we are again betting on a draw. For 4.75 you can take a clear victory for the guests. 17-05 Moscow time

Volleyball

22-30 Champions League. Men. Playoffs. Perugia-Belchatow P1-10$ to. 2.35+++ +13.50$

A risky bet, since the odds fall not on the hosts, but on the guests. But we took a reverse rate because we considered it too high for the marathon. Pinnacle and Sbobet give 2.23-2.24 and the rest of the beeches no more than 2.10

A small drop on Montreal's win, but we took a head start as usual. Maximums are at Marathon, Betsafe and Betson. Many people have it for 2.10. Montreal should be angry after their shutout loss to the Sharks, and it's time for Anaheim to lose after three wins in a row.

March 6 3-00 Philadelphia-St. Louis F1(0)-10$ to. 2.26+++ +12.60$

Slight drop to Philadelphia from 2.40 We're talking about winning the match, including OT and shootouts. For a clear victory there is also a drop of 10% from the level of 2.80 to 2.55. We set a handicap according to tradition.

March 6 3-00 Washington-Minnesota F2(0)-10$ to. 2.20+++ +12$

March 6 4-30 Copa Libertadores. Juan Aurich-San Jose Oruro TB(1.5)+++

Final odds. 2.26 Bet 10$+++ +12.60$

For all events there are drops in odds or values, but we were embarrassed to take three goals, let there be a safety option. However, there are some doubts about the second match. So most likely you will have to rely on luck here. If it doesn’t come in, there will be no express trains in the near future))

Bet Types

There are many types of bets. I'll tell you about the most popular ones.

• “Exodus” is the oldest type. Bet on a win or a draw.

• “Double chance” is used by those who want to minimize risks. The idea is to bet on a draw and a win for your favorite team at the same time.
• “Handicap” is used if the playing teams are of different classes. For example, champions and underdogs. In this case, at the end of the match or half, points are added to or subtracted from the result of one team.
• “Total” – bet on the total number of goals that both teams will score. In this case, if you set “Total less than 3.5”, then the total number of goals in the match should not exceed three. If you set “Total over 3.5”, then, accordingly, the total number of goals should be 4 or more.

• “Pass” – used only in competitions where you need to guess which team will advance to the next round.

It’s one thing to bet “naked” express or single bets and hope that you will win; another thing is to develop strategies for making money. We'll talk about them now. Such schemes increase the winning percentage and the amount of reward.

Bet insurance

All existing methods of relatively safe play reduce the possible winnings in one way or another, so you shouldn’t chase big profits at first. The method of reducing risk by hedging a bet with an opposite bet on the outcome is no exception.

Its essence is to monitor the gradual adjustment of odds by the bookmaker towards the start of the game. It often happens that before a fight, bookmakers give preference to one opponent, and after the start of the match, the opponents’ chances are equalized due to certain reasons that influence the match.

Such a system can be used by a truly attentive bettor who can deeply analyze statistical data and previous competitions, look for patterns that repeat from game to game and possible influencing factors.

Example:

Two teams, Sevilla and Deportivo, meet on the football field as part of the Spanish Premiere. A full assessment of their recent performances led to the following conclusions.

Seville is the recognized favorite of the match, but the club spends the first half very sluggishly, often conceding goals from obvious outsiders, but after the break they fully join the game.

Deportivo is a promising team that knows how to rush into battle from the first seconds of a meeting. Her main drawback is her lack of experience and inability to distribute her forces until the end of the game. Therefore, the club often leads until the break, but ultimately fails to hold on to the victory.

Before the start of the match, the odds on Deportivo go off scale and amount to more than 5. We will bet on the zero handicap of the outsider team for 3.5 (we cannot write off a draw). So, the match has begun and is proceeding according to a previously predicted scenario, and the odds for Deportivo are gradually falling. Result of the first half: 0:2 in favor of the outsider. Our bet wins, but we should not relax regarding the favorite, who needs this victory. During the break, we make a new bet, this time on Sevilla’s victory with an increased odds of 5. Now, whatever the outcome of the meeting, we will remain in the black. Let's get ahead and say that the match ended in a victory for the favorite with a score of 3:2; the Seville players managed to score the last two goals in the last minutes.

From the above example it is clear that thoughtless use of such a method is unacceptable. It is necessary to take into account every little detail and thoroughly study the statistics.

Earning Strategies

Experienced and regular bookmaker clients approach placing a bet with a cool head. They calculate everything down to the smallest detail and can foresee how the odds for a particular team will behave before approaching the final of the event.

This is what betting schemes such as Value Betting and “Catch-up” are based on. But about each strategy in order and in more detail.

Fork

The odds of two bookmakers are examined. Using this strategy, you can win if there is a difference in the odds of the same event among different bookmakers.

For example, teams “A” and “B” are playing tennis. The odds for victory “A” are 1.25, for victory “B” – 3.9 in the first bookmaker company. In the second office: “A” – 1.43, “B” – 2.85.

Bet 100 rubles on the victory of “B” with the first bookmaker, and 272.72 rubles on the victory of “A” with the second bookmaker.

Result: winnings are either 17.27 rubles or 17.25 rubles.

Attention! Bookmakers don’t like arbers, so they can limit their accounts and not pay out money.

This strategy is suitable for beginners. The main thing is to carefully study the odds, carefully use the “Fork” and immediately withdraw your earnings.

Dogon

To play the “Catch-up” scheme, you must have a decent supply of free money. The principle of the strategy boils down to the following: you must increase the bet amount after each lost bet.

I recommend playing this strategy only for singles and events with odds of more than 2. And be patient.

This type of sports betting strategy is suitable for risky beginners. The main thing is not to get carried away and bet recklessly. Approach events with a cool head.

Value Betting

Suitable for those who have been following sporting events for a long time and will be able to independently choose the favorite who will win. It is a way to find undervalued events and bet on them.

For example, the coefficient of team “A” is 2, and team “B” is 3. Team “A” is the favorite, so it has a lower coefficient. However, if you follow sporting events, you can calculate that team “B” is more likely to win. In this case, bet on “B”.

Loads or fixed matches - as a risky way to make money

Loads on lines are a biased change in odds due to a large number of players betting on the same market. For example, when a national team plays at the World Cup, bettors often bet on their team’s victory or when information about match-fixing appears on the Internet.

• As for match-fixing, you shouldn’t even try to make money from sports by cheating.
• The bookmaker’s office instantly calculates all agreements and promptly removes them from the line.
• And regular bets on such events will arouse suspicion on the part of the bookmaker’s security service, which is fraught with the establishment of restrictive limits.

Finding the load is not difficult - it’s just a discrepancy in the odds for equally probable outcomes. For example, this is easy to see in the markets - even/odd and TB/TM. Odds of 1.8-1.9/1.8-1.9 are classic for such equally probable markets, but when betters begin to actively bet on one of the markets, the quotes can rise to 3 or fall to 1.1. You can also find downloads on the Internet, because there are a lot of resources on the Internet that provide fairly detailed information about changes in quotes in the bookmaker.

There are two methods of betting on loads - to support the load or to catch the peak odds on the opposite market. The first method definitely cannot be considered as a source of income, since unjustified risks with low quotes will sooner or later lead to the bank being drained.

But betting against load means the same risks, only you can win a lot of money. The main condition is to catch the peak of the coefficient growth.

For example, when betting on equally probable markets (50/50) with odds of 1.1 and 3.2, there is no point in betting on 1.1, since risking for the sake of a 10% profit (and this does not take into account the bookmaker’s margin) is too dangerous. But 220% net profit is worth 50% risk. This method is quite effective and allows you to earn money by betting on sports, but only over a long distance and if the player has the appropriate skills.

Several additional options for making money on bets

In addition to the main options, there are other, not entirely honest, methods of skimming the cream from bookmakers. They are used by those who do not know how to raise their stakes in a legal way.

• “Bonushunting” or hunting for bonuses. They receive winnings by registering with different bookmaker companies. They deposit a certain amount of money, win a couple of times by betting on certain conditions, for which a bonus is awarded. And then they try to withdraw this money. There are two big disadvantages to this method: the bonus amount is equal to the amount of the first deposit and such promotions are aimed at new players. When registering more than two accounts from the same IP, users may be banned.
• Bookmaker mistakes. Those working in such companies are also people, so they can inflate the odds on the favorite by accident. Dishonest players take advantage of this. But such moments, when noticed, are stopped, and the money is returned to the client without a winning ratio. If a user places bets on such errors too often, his account is banned.
• Matches are by agreement. There are fixed matches in sports, but they are not advertised anywhere. If the majority of people bet on a high odds and the team wins, then the office begins legal proceedings with the match representatives. Such cases are rare, and you will not be able to make money from match-fixing.

My advice to you: play fair. If you are a sports fan, carefully follow the teams and think through your betting options.

And now I will tell you how to place your first bet if you have never done this before.

How to choose the right bookmaker for betting

There are dozens of different bookmakers at the moment, which one is better to choose in order to place bets comfortably and not be deceived?

Here are simple tips that will tell you how to choose the right office:

• Reliability . Do you agree that if you invest your money in the office, it will be very disappointing if they cheat you and do not pay your deposit or the amount for winning bets? Therefore, to prevent this from happening, be sure to google reviews about the bookmaker; if you find ones where they say that they do not pay out, then it is better to look for another bookmaker.
• Rules . Be sure to read their rules before depositing money into the office. About bonuses, withdrawal of money, etc.
• Odds . Compare the odds for the same events in different offices; if in the chosen one they are noticeably lower, then think about whether this will be interesting to you.
• Deposit . Find out the minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal amount to calculate your financial capabilities in advance.

You can take these tips and quickly run through the selected bookmakers, those that will be most suitable - take them.

How to place your first bet

1. Go to the website of one of the bookmakers.
2. Register on the site. This can be done in several ways: via e-mail, through social networks, by phone.
3. Log in to the betting page using your username.
4. Top up your account using one of the online methods, for example, via card or phone. Or go to the nearest ATM and deposit money into your account.
5. Select the sport in which you will bet.
6. Click on the odds of the events you will bet on. Your selection will appear on the side or top of the page. The bet type “single” or “express” is generated automatically.
7. When you finish betting, click on the “Place Bet” button.

If you win and the amount appears on your account, you can withdraw it by clicking on a button like “Withdraw money”. You will find yourself on the withdrawal page through any online payment system.

How to make money on bets without risk

Yes, there is such a way to make money on sports betting without risk, and it is called “Forks”.

In order to earn money this way, you will need to register with several bookmakers at once. Next, you select an event for which different bookmakers give different odds. For example, there is a game between two football teams, one bookmaker gives odds of 1.6% for the victory of the first team, and another bookmaker gives odds of 3.5% for the victory of the second team, which means that if we bet at the first office, the first one wins $68.63, and in the second office pays 31.37 dollars for the victory of the second team, then we will earn 9.8 dollars without risk if any of the teams wins.

There are a lot of such interesting events happening, it is almost impossible to find them manually, because the odds change very quickly. Therefore, special arb calculators have been created that show live which offices are currently observing forks. You look and simply place bets at the indicated offices and that’s it, the trick is in the bag, and the profit is in your pocket.

But bookmakers really don’t like it when players use this win-win strategy and try in every possible way to put a spoke in their wheels.

Basic Rules

1. Analyze bookmakers. Bet only on those that have been in business for a long time and have good reviews. Even if you win, you may not get any money by betting in one of the unknown one-day bookmakers. Typically, such organizations attract clients with the promise of large odds.
2. Ask people who have been interested in sports for a long time and follow sports games, which teams are better to bet on. There are times when players in whom no one believes become winners.
3. At first, bet on singles. This way you will reduce the risk of losing. Because “express” bets are tempting with big wins from the least amount of money. But if one team loses, then your bet goes in favor of the office.
4. Bet on those sports games that you understand.
5. Don’t turn betting into a cult and don’t try to constantly make money with it.

Earning money at a distance is important

Now it is obvious that talking about the profitability of forecasts is possible only over a long distance. And 100 bets is not a sufficient period, since with such a number of transactions, the dispersion is still large. Roughly speaking, even a person far from sports and betting can guess 60 match results out of 100 with a coefficient of about two. But this does not mean that this person is a professional capper or a “plus” player. In the future, variance will even out the results and will not give chances for random profit.

A decent distance depends on the odds. The higher the quotes, the greater the dispersion, which means you need as long a distance as possible. If a bettor bets on odds of 1.9-2.1, then at least 1000 transactions are needed to assess real abilities. A shorter distance will not reflect the real capabilities of the capper, since due to the pronounced dispersion, the randomness factor is large.

Forecasters, of which there are a lot on the Internet, showing statistics of 50-100 transactions, even if it is 82+3=15-, do not prove anything. And the other side of the coin: if a capper made 5-6 misfires in a row, or even more, this does not mean that he is a fraudster or mediocrity. Evaluate your performance at a distance. Beginners don’t know this, so scammers take advantage of this and profit from gullible players by selling pseudo-forecasts that will not bring profit.

Features of online betting

Bookmaker sites attract people with the opportunity to make quick money. It's important to take your time here. Re-read the article again, use the moves and strategies that I have listed to increase your chance of winning.

Cooperation with online bookmakers has the following advantages:

• depositing and withdrawing money remotely;
• tracking live broadcasts of events while sitting at home;
• participation in communities of experienced cappers via the Internet.

Attention! Never bet at random. If in doubt, it is better not to bet at all or use “Double Chance”.

Important tips for beginners

Novice bettors can be deceived. For example, scammers can sit in the communities I wrote about above and hunt down newcomers. They won’t take your money directly, but they will lure you into a trap in every possible way.

There are five trap schemes for beginners:

1. Fixed games. They are not advertised. If the bookmaker finds out about this, then proceedings will begin. And they offer you a “dummy”. Therefore, feel free to bypass all kinds of offers when a person supposedly knows the score of the match in advance.
2. Paid forecast. You may be invited to a closed group with fake accounts and comments. You will be offered a forecast for which you will need to pay. Prices can vary from 100 to 10,000 rubles. They may offer to pay half, and after winning, pay in full for the forecast. Seems convincing? But no! Don't be fooled by this. Half will not be returned to you if you lose your bet.
3. Account promotion. The task is this: you are asked to provide a login and password for your account with the intention of increasing the amount of your deposit. Don’t believe it - your money will either be lost or withdrawn if the amount is large.
4. Funding for the purchase of forecasts and fixed matches. Don't believe it either. You may be assured that this businessman let them win a large sum last time. In fact, it could be the same person logging in from different accounts. Remember that no one knows about fixed matches, and there are no paid forecasts.
5. Sale of betting programs. Such programs do not exist, but you can be offered utilities that, with an accuracy of 99.9%, calculate the winnings of a particular team in a future event.

So is it really possible to make money on bets?

In the short term - yes, but as a permanent income that would provide you with at least several years - no. Even the best analysts, due to margins, show minimal profits or are in the red.

You can make money by finding inflated quotes. If the bookmaker determines the probability of the outcome more precisely, then you will win constantly. The main task is to turn the margin in your favor. And here the confrontation begins not only with the office, but also with other bettors.

When the majority of players estimate the winner incorrectly, distortions arise due to loads (a huge amount is bet on one outcome, and almost no one bets on the opposite). In this case, the coefficient for the reverse option increases. Let’s say someone took a chance and bet a huge amount on a total of goals over 2.5. The bookmaker reduces the odds for this outcome, and increases the odds for a total less than 2.5, so as not to incur losses. Therefore, do not be afraid to go against public opinion.
