Where to bet on football

There are only two options on the Internet:

1. Bookmaker sites.
2. Exchanges.

In the first case, you will play against the house at the rates offered by the office. In the second, you make a bet with the same player as you. But on the stock exchange you will have the opportunity to bargain for the odds and offer your own conditions.

How to bet on football

Let's figure out how to bet on football correctly. There is a classic algorithm:

5. Click on the one you are interested in
6. In the coupon that opens, indicate the bet amount and confirm your choice.
7. If your prediction is correct, the bookmaker will transfer the winnings to your account and you can withdraw your money.

How to place a live bet

To place live bets on football, you need to go to the “Live” section.

There, the bookmaker will offer a variety of live matches that you can bet on.

How to bet from a mobile phone

Technologies do not stand still. Any self-respecting company has mobile application, allowing you to bet on football from your phone. The user needs to download the version from the bookmaker's website. After installation, he gets the opportunity not only to place bets on football through his phone, but also to watch the ups and downs of matches on the screen of his device.

The application allows you to bet on football without geographical reference. The player can follow the games from anywhere, even from another country.

What can you bet on?

Even the youngest and most unpopular bookmakers offer at least 100 coupon options for each football match. If the event is top-notch (for example, the derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Spanish Championship), then the number of offers can reach several thousand.

Here are the main options:

• outcome (victory of one of the teams or a draw);
• total (number of goals scored by two teams);
• individual (performance of one football team);
• each side's handicap (handicap to even the odds);
• number of yellow cards;
• number of shots on target;
• the performance of individual football players (whether this or that player will score a goal);
• number of corners and much more.

Types of bets on football

Bookmakers offer users to make various types football betting. Let's look at the most popular of them:

• Single bet on football (single). Here the player makes a bet with a bookmaker and tries to guess the outcome of one event. For example, if you bet on a team victory with odds of 1.8 1000 rubles, then in the event of a positive outcome of the event the bookmaker will pay 1800 rubles. Net profit will be 800 rubles.
• Express. The player selects two or more events and tries to predict their outcome. The main advantage of this type of bet is that the odds do not add up, but multiply among themselves. Therefore, the more matches a player includes in the express bet, the greater the amount he can win. But there is also a significant drawback - for the express to enter, you need to correctly guess all the results. If a player is wrong in at least one football prediction, then he loses money.
• System. This football bet is very similar to a parlay bet. It may consist of huge amount events. Main feature This bet is that the player can mistakenly predict several events, but remain in the black. The system will require larger amount for a bet than for an express bet, since here not all are multiplied, but only neighboring ones. In certain scenarios, even if the player guessed the outcomes of only half of the events, he will return the bet money. But for this, the system must include games with high odds. It is quite difficult to independently calculate the profit that a player will receive for various outcomes. It is better to use a special calculator on the bookmaker’s website.
• . Not offered by all bookmakers. Formed from several single bets to football. The sequence for calculating the coefficient is set by the user himself. The match may be counted first tomorrow, and the second and third - today's. If the player made a mistake in the first football prediction, the chain is broken. If you guessed 1-2 events, but stumbled on the third, then the bet amount is subtracted from the initially won amount and the game continues. The chain is considered lost if there are no funds remaining in the user’s account equivalent to the initial bet.
• Sale coupon. Another interesting bet on football, which not all bookmakers offer. The coupon can only be sold before the end of the event. Sometimes this is the only option to avoid losing. The odds depend on the bookmaker you choose, but usually the bet is multiplied by 1.
• Complex multiple bets. There are plenty of similar bets on football. Each of them includes a certain number of express bets. Complex bets on football are not popular among bookmaker clients. The most famous of them: “Trixie”, “patent”, “Yankee”, “lucky15”, “lucky31”, etc.

How to place express bets on football

Express bets are one of the most popular bets on football. The player has the right to include any events in the express: the number of corners, goals, cards, etc. There is a bet in which it is proposed to guess which team will be the first to throw out.

To place a bet on football express, just click on certain events in the line, and the system will independently multiply their odds.

How to bet on football correctly

There are six rules you need to understand that will help you always stay in the black when betting on football:

• Choose a reliable bookmaker. Almost all bookmakers offer a good line on football. At first glance, it seems that players have a great choice. But not every resource is worth opening an account and making a deposit. Some bookmakers have tarnished their reputation with manipulations with funds, others are unable to deal with constant technical problems, still others offer underestimated ones. So it turns out that the user can entrust his own funds to 2-3 trusted bookmakers.
• Distribute your deposit for betting on football. It is important to understand that it is impossible to predict the outcome of a match 100%. Football is a rather unpredictable game. Even if main favorite plays with a confirmed underdog, then any result is possible. Experts recommend dividing your bank into several parts. Pros advise placing bets on 1-5% of your deposit.
• Select a football championship and match. Find the championship you are best at. It is better to avoid the third or fourth divisions, as teams in these leagues often sin fixed matches. Study your chosen championship even more thoroughly and earn money. Even if in other leagues the bookmaker offers good odds- don't be distracted by them.
• Discard stereotypes regarding odds. Beginners mistakenly think that the odds set by the bookmaker reflect the true strength of the teams. This is not entirely true. Even if the top football club will drag on black stripe, then the odds for his victory will not exceed 1.2. However, this does not mean that he will always win. According to statistics, every fifth bet with this odds loses.
• Analyze forecasts.You think you are confident in the outcome, but do not rush to bet on football. Find free forecasts on the Internet and read what people think about the upcoming match. Perhaps their arguments will make you change your mind. You can find free forecasts at
• Choose the most successful strategy. Each person is individual. Some people like to take risks, others prefer pragmatic bets on football. Most professional players prefer two - catch and fork.

How to choose matches to bet on

You need to collect as much information as possible about the upcoming match, systematize it and draw the right conclusion.

Here are the main criteria for analysis:

• club statistics by season;
• results of head-to-head matches;
• injuries;
• motivation;
• tournament significance of the match;
• who plays at home, who plays away;
• weather conditions;
• judging panel;
• physical fitness of football players;
• field dimensions;
• etc.

There are no small things. Let's give examples. If you decide to bet on more, and the weather forecasters predict rain, it is better to refuse the bet. On a wet lawn there are too many defective passes, shots are missed, players slip - it is naive to expect a productive match.

If you want to bet on TM, pay attention to the chief arbiter. Some referees are reluctant to hand out cards, others are more willing to send off players. The more active the referee, the more goals, because teams shoot free throws more often and play with uneven lineups.

Or a very simple example. The team leading the standings takes on the underdog. The leader no longer needs points, the opponent is fighting for the right to remain in the championship. If the favorite has no motivation to win, you should not bet on it regardless of the statistics for the season.

How to bet on football

It's all up to you. Are you trying to earn money? more money and choose a risky football betting strategy or prefer a pragmatic method. The main task is to correctly analyze the meeting and determine the most likely scenario, as well as the final result.

If you plan to bet on football matches just for fun and do not consider sports as an income source, then you can limit yourself to the standings and statistics of the latest matches. Some rely on intuition - there are plenty of stories when people won without the slightest analysis.

But if you do not want to give money to bookmakers and plan to receive income from betting, then after careful analysis, choose the most win-win bet for you.

Conclusion

Now you know how to do win-win bets to football. The main thing is that you must be as knowledgeable as possible. Our advice: watch the matches, read the press, follow the statistics. Then you can make money from football.

Firstly, no need to bet blindly, just hoping for an attractive odds. Luck is a very slippery thing, and counting on it is very risky! Sooner or later she will take all your money from you!

Always look at statistics, analyze past games and, if possible, news regarding the situation within both teams. Most often, bets incorrectly determine the current state of affairs on given time, but are only justified by the rating, popularity or position of the club in the standings. However, a team may be on the decline, have key players suspended or injured, etc.!

Secondly, does not exist in nature 100% winning bets, as well as 100% confidence in the result of the match!

Try to define for yourself that the MAXIMUM that can be is 90-95% confidence in the result of the game (this is the highest probability, and often there is no more than 50%). It can never be 100%! If such a thought is hovering in your head, then you need to do everything to make it disappear... Find the reasons why such a result may simply not happen... Find weak point, which is always there!

Thirdly, do not be lazy to find out the weather that is expected to happen on the day of the game. She plays quite a lot important role, for example, in football and, knowing the weather conditions, one can expect an approximate course of the game for both teams.

Snow or rain are a definite advantage in defensive tactics; destruction in such conditions is much easier than attacking... Therefore, the result as an ordinary or dry draw, when one of the opponents plays for the sake of not losing, is the most likely!

Repeatedly, not knowing the weather conditions, we lost very likely bets... Rain or snow should be a surprise for everyone, but not for you! If at least something hints that there will be changes in the weather for the worse, then the best way out would be to play it safe rather than just trust in Lady Fortune!

Fourth, find out detailed information from the camps of the two opponents. Disqualifications, absences, injuries - all this will help you predict the outcome as accurately as possible, and, in turn, bet your money correctly!

If defensive midfielders or defenders are disqualified or injured, this in itself indicates possible problems in defense and potential missed goals.

If the main attacking player or the team captain was disqualified or injured, then the question arises: will the players be able to score, what changes will they make in the tactics of the game, will they be able to implement a standard that will take them ahead.

However, if the main set-piece taker has been injured or disqualified, this may also give you pause.

Thus, try to study the future state of the players in as much detail as possible.

Fifthly, you should not bet on a clean victory for a club traveling to play on a foreign field.

One of the most common losses is when the favorite plays against a middling/underdog team and ends up bringing home one point... Players of a stronger team often cannot prepare themselves to take an outsider seriously , and they, in turn, want to squeeze the maximum out of themselves in order to get even closer to the leader.

The most common situation occurs when a club from the top lines of the table plays an away match, scores once and tries to finish the match without playing or wasting any effort, and the opponent takes advantage of this slack and equalizes the score at the very end.

Therefore, betting on the winning of the visiting club, no matter where the opponent is in the championship table, is always a risk, and the risk should always be minimized! Therefore, the X2 bet is one of the key options for considering this kind of deal!

Sixth, weigh all your options repeatedly and make an adequate decision before directly betting on the club scoring away!

To place such a bet, you must first read and follow points 1-5 of these secret rules.

If you are really 95% sure that a club going to play in someone else’s stadium will definitely score, then feel free to bet!

But don’t forget about the home team, because their goal is also to score a goal!

Seventh, you should not bet on too small or large quotes “to win”, especially when you like to play with express bets!

Small and large coefficient s is almost a 100% loss in an express bet.

It's better not to bet on:

- large (above 1.85): the outcome is unlikely! If you think the odds are quite high, then it's worth taking a closer look at the match and you'll probably be able to understand why the bookmaker is putting the odds so high! On top of that, remember about fixed matches! You probably don’t know about them, but there are people who make enormous money from this!

- small (1.09 and below): because it will not have weight in the express bet, and this fact alone should dissuade you. Why unjustified risk in one bet to the whole chain! And yet, they are often simply based on position in the championship and rankings, since they are not able to closely monitor all championships, tournaments and cups ( this situation does not apply to the most popular championships. Everything in them is calculated meticulously, and any change that may have an impact on the result will be taken into account)…

Eighth, There is no need to bet on clear VICTORIES in friendly or pre-season, insignificant games!

The best option would be to not pay attention to such matches at all. However, if you still really want to bet on such a game, then keep in mind that the probability of WINNING in such matches is reduced by half or three times!!! Why, you ask? But because the plans of the coaching staff for these games are unknown to anyone. Perhaps he wants to try new defensive tactics, maybe he wants to test his young subjects, giving the leaders a break, and the like. Or maybe the players are simply not in the mood, which happens most often!

Ninth, you should not dial EXPRESS from a huge number of games! The fewer games there are, the more your chances of winning increase!

The best bet is an express bet of 2-3 games. Playing with express bets is a very big risk, and if you decide to play on 8-9 matches, then the probability of winning drops significantly, which is not advisable!!! If you are still dreaming of a big jackpot, take a risk, but the result will be sad for you! Fortune may smile only once, but soon you will still give away your money on the spur of the moment! (This refers specifically to the express system).

Tenth, you should not include an unreasonable result or a result with a low degree of probability in an express bet...

A fairly common mistake is when you selected all the matches you wanted and calculated, but the odds turned out to be much less, what were your expectations, or is it simply not round or ugly, AND THEN you deliberately insert into the express an outcome that you didn’t even look at! And what kind of result do you think will not live up to expectations? Eleventh, do not chase a high coefficient! The best EXPRESS is the one that consists of 2 - 3 games, with a total quote of 1.5-3.5.

Don't take a big odd! Don't dig yourself a financial hole!

Eleventh, if, nevertheless, the desire to score a lot of matches has overcome your common sense, then it makes sense to explain to you the so-called “SYSTEM”...

If you looked at the bookmaker’s line of matches, and you were interested in the games you wanted to bet on, but there are more such matches than 7-8, then the Express in this case will most likely be lost... It’s better to just bet “SYSTEM”!!! The probability of winning money from “SYSTEM” is much higher, since often in such a large express train one or two results may not agree!

At first glance, beating a bookmaker is very easy. It’s worth making the first bet, correctly predicting the outcome of the event, and seeing an increase cash on your account, and it immediately seems that successful career bettor has just started. In reality, things are developing more pessimistically. Beginners begin to place more and more bets, follow the advice of unreliable sources, act on intuition, rush, wanting to win back faster, and do many other things. gross mistakes, which will soon lead to complete defeat and disappointment in the bookmaker world. This stops some, and some continue to try, without any work on themselves, wanting to quickly find information on the Internet that will tell them how to constantly win on bets.

9 factors that prevent you from winning at a bookmaker

It is on such players that the bookmaker business thrives. There will always be enough people who are willing to bet on sports and do not have certain qualities to have at least a minimal chance of staying in the black over a long distance. Sports betting can be very lucrative for punters, but if winning money at a bookmaker was easy, there would be no point in its existence.

Less than 10 percent of players actually make money betting on sports, and the rest either go into the red or lose money. best case scenario stay with their money.

Do you want to have a better chance of getting into that coveted 10%? Then remember and follow the rules described below. We won't give you one hundred percent ready-made solution, how to beat a bookmaker, but we’ll tell you about the basic principles that will bring you significantly closer to success or at least distance you from failure. Let's look at them.

1. Do you want to win against a bookmaker? Be prepared to lose.

Let's explain what this means. If you do not have money that you are willing to risk, and if you lose it, your financial condition will worsen, sports betting should be postponed until better times.

It is right to start your career as a bettor with good starting capital if you really want sports betting to generate significant income. You must be mentally prepared to lose all the money you brought into the bookmaker's office, but at the same time you should not care about the outcome of your bets.

Manage your starting bank

Regardless of the size of the starting capital, small amounts should be allocated for the first 100-200 bets, no more than 1-3 percent of all money in the account. This is guaranteed to protect you from rapidly losing all your money in the event of a series of unsuccessful bets. Also, rates minimum size will help you gain experience in different situations, for example, betting on the wrong outcome, untimely bets, unreasonably risky bets, cancellation of the bet or its freezing due to something.

The more experienced a player becomes, the more efficiently he will use his capital, but even beginners should understand that risking a large part of their money on a gaming account is not very promising.

2. Keep bet statistics

To beat a bookmaker at a distance, you cannot do without your own betting methodology. You can develop it yourself (the preferred option) or, at worst, download it from the Internet.

Detailed statistics of your own bets can help you develop the right attitude towards bet sizes, quantity, type, etc. For example, analyzing your bets on totals in football matches, the player can draw a conclusion about how beneficial they are for him and adjust their number and size. If such bets bring a reliable income, then their size can be increased, and if the result of bets on totals is near zero, then it is worth reducing their number and carefully choosing suitable events.

3. Carefully study the bookmaker’s rules

Each bookmaker has its own rules for accepting bets. Also, many bookmakers have their own types of bets that others do not offer. If you lost money due to inattention, without reading the information, then the bookmaker will never take your side, because the rules are available to everyone and when registering, the player is strongly recommended to study them.

4. It’s easier to beat a bookmaker where you understand something

Bet only on “your” sport

First of all, choose a sport for betting that you really like and understand. It’s even better if you yourself were involved in this sport, for example, you played on the faculty volleyball team during your studies. Professional athletes are prohibited from betting on sports, especially if they have at least the slightest attitude to the events on which they bet.

Understanding the sport will increase the likelihood of making a correct prediction for a certain event. It is important to know the features of the championship or tournament, statistics of past seasons.

It is also necessary to follow the news of the sport on which you are betting so that any development of events is not unexpected. For example, regularly attending hockey matches of the Continental Hockey League over several seasons and actively participating in discussions of news, match results, and transfers will add confidence to your analytical approach to betting on the events of this championship.

Betting on a sport in which you do not know all the rules and features is a dubious activity. Sooner or later, a situation will arise for which you are not prepared, and the bet will already be made and you will need luck so as not to lose money in a ridiculous way. You can learn all the nuances of betting on one of the sports at own experience, having spent a significant amount of money for this, but it’s up to you to choose the path along which to go.

5. Odds are important!

Odds at bookmakers are constantly adjusted due to changes in the probability of an outcome occurring or due to loading due to a large number of bets. For example, the odds for the favorite to win in a football match may decrease from 1.35 to 1.2 within 2-3 days, since many players bet on this outcome and in order to reduce the risk of incurring a loss, the bookmaker lowers this quote. And if one of the key players of the favorite team gets injured, the odds for victory may rise by 1-2 points. Also, in the line of each bookmaker you can find odds that are objectively overestimated or underestimated.

Correct odds are a plus in the long run

If for several bets the difference in odds of 1-2 points is insignificant, then at a distance of 100-200 bets such a difference can play an important role. If you want to beat the bookmaker, try not to bet on odds that are loaded or on odds that are too low, as sooner or later this will negatively affect your betting account. Conversely, by placing bets at odds that are slightly better than they should be, you automatically increase your potential income for the same probability of the desired outcome occurring.

The big problem for beginners is the belief that a low odd is a 100% guarantee of winning from the bookmaker. This is a misconception. IN modern sports The competition is so high that the likelihood of an unexpected result is high in every sport, in every championship and in every round. If you constantly choose an outcome with odds of 1.3, then out of 10 bets, 3 unsuccessful bets are enough to have a negative result at such a distance, not to mention a larger number of losing bets or even lower odds. The most effective odds are in the range from 1.7 to 2.3. The higher the odds, the more profit the player will receive if the bet of the same size wins.

Experienced bettors place bets at bookmakers that offer higher odds than others. The correct approach to odds is one of the key factors in successfully playing against bookmakers.

6. What types of bets should I make to beat the bookmaker?

Every player, especially if he is a beginner, wants to bet less and win more. In sports betting, you can increase your odds by using express or system bet types. Taking 4 events with odds of 2 in an express bet and winning a bet at a total odds of 16 by betting one amount is more tempting than betting 4 equal amounts on each event separately. But this is an unprofessional approach. How more events in an express bet, the lower the probability of the bet being a winning bet. It's the same with systems. Ordinary bets are the most reliable bets, which are not influenced by anything outside. Professional bettors rarely use express bets or systems in their strategies, but even if express bets are present in their arsenal, they will have 2 or maximum 3 events. Beginners in sports betting, usually from their own experience, come to understand that the reliability of single bets is more logical than the profitability of express bets and systems.

7. Forget about signs and premonitions

Few people can simply guess the results

Results sporting events– this is a natural result based on a mass of real and explainable factors. If you want to win against a bookmaker, then forget about any methods of predicting the outcome based on signs and intuition. If one player believes that on a rainy Saturday his bet on the underdog winning has a high probability of winning, then there is always a second player who follows the opposite assumption and bets on the favorite - what should the underdog and the favorite do in this case?

Some players often place their bets based on the results of the round. For example, it is easy to believe in large number abandoned pucks in last match tour of the National Hockey League, if the remaining matches rarely scored 3-4 goals. But despite the results of other matches, the players of the teams meeting in the last round play their own game and only this determines how many goals they will score.

Therefore, even if your bet based on omens or premonitions wins, you should not make a strategy out of it “how to beat a bookmaker based on intuition,” because this is an accident that will most likely work against you over the long term. Attentive and detailed analysis real factors that can influence the result will lead you to where more winnings than forecasting based on intuition.

8. Buying forecasts - be careful!

Nowadays on the Internet you can find a lot of offers for selling sports forecasts. Many sites, when offering their predictions, “guarantee” that you will be able to beat the bookmaker without any problems. Most of these sellers, called cappers or tipsters, are not worth the money you spend on their predictions, but there are some. Before you buy one or a series of forecasts from any of them, carefully study their past statistics, reviews about them, evaluate their success at certain times of the season, compare the price of their forecasts with others, make sure of their integrity and, if possible, communicate with them personally .

Tipsters' forecasts, and the risk is yours

It is important that you do not lose patience with the initial bets when purchasing a series of predictions, since despite experience and skill, everyone can have unsuccessful series. To make a profit, sometimes you have to make a serious number of bets with a capper or tipster.

Under no circumstances choose bets offered by cappers that you will not bet on or on which you will bet more than required - this will completely deprive the logic of your decision to buy forecasts.

Bets dictated by forecast sellers, even if they will generate income, are risky investments in which you only need preliminary analysis, financial capabilities and patience.

9. Don't give in to excitement

If betting on sports starts to bring you pleasure, even if you lose money, you should stop. Gambling, no matter how much emotion it gives, will never lead to anything good. Gambling prevents players from making logical predictions. They are ready to place bets, blindly believing in positive result, for example, bets on the victory of your favorite team or on the result for which the highest odds are given, etc.

Gambling does not correlate well with profitable betting, for which clear and detailed analysis will always be important.

Highly emotional players who are seriously affected by losing or winning will find it very difficult to beat the bookmaker over the long term.

10. Winning strategy in the bookmaker's office

The most effective bets will be those that are included within the framework of one of the strategies, of which quite a few have been invented during the existence of betting.

Each strategy has its positive and negative aspects, but with the right approach they can help the player consistently beat the bookmaker. More powerful tool To make a profit from sports betting there will be a strategy to which the player will make his own adjustments based on experience and analysis of his actions.

Any player, even a beginner, can develop his own strategy and successfully apply it in sports betting, and his chances of winning against a bookmaker with random bets are extremely small.

It should be understood that some strategies, such as arbs or searching for erroneous odds, are not encouraged by bookmakers and can cause trouble for players who use them.

11. Promotions and bonuses increase the chance of winning

Most bookmakers come up with various promotions and bonuses in order to attract maximum quantity players, for example, a first deposit bonus, cash and material prizes for winning a betting competition for a specific tournament, and others.

When betting on sports, you can make additional profit if you participate in promotions and bonuses offered by the bookmaker. Among them there are very tempting options that you definitely shouldn’t pass by, for example, like these. There are players who specialize only in promotions and bookmaker bonuses. They are called bonus hunters.

When choosing a bookmaker, carefully study all the promotions and bonuses available in it and try not to neglect them if this does not contradict your sports betting strategy.

Conclusion

I think that after reading the article, you have received enough information to answer the question “Is it possible to beat a bookmaker?” By default, the bookmaker has an advantage over the player as he selects events, outcomes and odds. But by correctly using all of these factors, maintaining patience and self-confidence, you will be able to turn sports betting into income.

Happy betting!

So far in this article we have not voiced an important, but independent factor of a successful game against a bookmaker - good luck, which we wish you in your sports betting!

The answer to this question interests many players at bookmakers, because football is the most popular sport for betting.

This popularity is due great knowledge“subject”, because football battles are the easiest to follow, especially when we're talking about about matches from the most popular championships.

The first rule of football betting

In the offers of bookmakers you can see a lot of matches in the line, and many of them are held in championships that you have never followed and generally do not know what the clubs from these championships are. If you are new to bookmakers, avoid betting on such football matches.

Of course, a careful study of statistics on certain leagues, tournaments and championships sometimes helps to place a bet on football correctly. But it’s better to start with those championships that have long been familiar to you, and in which you know the real strength of this or that team in present moment time, rather than being guided solely by statistical data or isolated memories of a game you once saw.

Are there guarantees in football betting?

No one will give you a 100% guarantee of passing a bookmaker's bet on football. But the guarantees can be very high if you approach the selection of an event with the utmost care, studying it from all sides. This means:

• statistical analysis of previous games of both teams;
• studying information about how long mentors have been at their helm;
• Are there any injuries to leading football players;
• Is the financial situation in the club stable?
• what kind of judging panel will be;
• what is the state of the field;
• weather forecast on match day.

You will need to work a little to place your bet correctly and win. Added to this is the study of football betting odds from bookmakers. After all, for the same event, different companies offer different odds, so you can always choose the most profitable option where to bet on football.

What types of football bets are there?

The easiest football betting option– determining the winner of the match or betting on a draw. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are many different options to help you make money from bookmakers on football matches. Let's highlight several types.

Bet on the total number of goals in the match (total) – over or under

For almost every game, bookmakers offer total odds, and it can be a bet greater than 0.5 or a bet less than 3.5, for example. When you choose this type of bet, necessary with special attention regard the presence of the main goalkeepers in the composition, to the game form of defense and attack of teams in recent matches.

The number of goals is also influenced by the fact that a favorite and an outsider or teams of equal strength meet. In the first case, it is usually better to bet on a total over 2.5, for example, while the second option involves betting on a total under 2.5 or 3.5, depending on the performance of the opponents.

Bet online

Many experienced players prefer to place bets online during the match (Live).

They carefully monitor the bookmakers' line, waiting for one of the teams to have a two-goal advantage, and the odds for its victory are still not too low - 1.2 for example. And if this team is not an outright underdog, or the match is already nearing completion, a large sum is bet on its victory. Even though the odds are low, the probability of the bet passing is very high.

Bet on the result of the first half

The first halves are often “sighting”, when teams get used to the opponent’s tactics, the field and other circumstances of a particular match. Therefore, in most cases, a bet on a draw, for example, based on the results of the first half, will be good option with a good coefficient.

You can also try lower totals in the first half. Unless, of course, we are talking about a confrontation between two teams that are too different in level.

Which team will score first

Beginners are not recommended to make such a bet, since for games with clear favorites the odds will not be very high, and in a confrontation between equal teams it is quite difficult to correctly predict who will score first. This will require not only analytical calculations on statistics, but also a detailed study of the form of specific players on both teams. Plus, you need many years of knowledge about the character and psychology of these clubs, the peculiarities of the work of their coaches, etc.

Bet on the exact score of a football match

Even more complex than the previous type. Of course, bookmakers offer very high odds for accurate scores, But professional players Bookmakers try to avoid making such bets. They are made more for luck, for fun, without risking large sums of money. As they say, while watching football.

Bet on players' individual totals

Typically, a bet is placed on whether a certain football player will score a goal or not. Even on individual totals Barcelona's Neymar or Bayern's Robert Lewandowski are given decent odds, let alone the lesser star players who are in great shape and you know it. Therefore, this type of football betting can bring good winnings to a thoughtful and attentive player.

Bet on the number of corners, cards, number of added minutes and other statistical indicators

There is no point in listing absolutely all types of bets on football, especially since bookmakers offer different sets of possible bets for different matches. And you can make good money from all this.

For example, when the 2012 European Football Championship was held, referees almost always added at least 3 minutes of injury time to the second halves of matches, and the number of corners in matches of that tournament, with very rare exceptions, was less than ten.

Knowing these statistics will help you do correct bet for football when the next major tournament takes place.

If you are aiming to make money on bets, then we suggest using our tips on choosing the best sport for sports betting.

The best sport in betting

When thinking about how to increase the profitability of their bets, young players often try to find ways to “deceive” the bookmaker, grasping at the most incredible theories. One of them is the statement that there is the most profitable sport for playing bookmakers. Some people call it football, others consider tennis a sport created to win against the bookmaker. But both of them turn out to be wrong.

Any bookmaker’s office employs a whole group of analysts, each of whom is a professional in his own field, so it would be naive to expect that the probabilities of outcomes in any sport will be distorted. The principles for constructing coefficients are approximately the same, with a few exceptions. Therefore, we can absolutely say that there are no profitable and profitable sports in betting. Everything is purely individual for each player.

The player's profit largely depends on the bookmaker's margin. The higher it is, the less chance you have of earning consistently. In most cases, the margin in the office depends on the popularity of the sport and the event itself. For example, for matches in the Champions League football the margin is minimal and the player has a much higher chance of staying in the black in the future. But when betting on little-known events, the player complicates the situation for himself in advance, since the margin there is always high and it is not easy to regularly make a profit with such bets.

Tip 2. Bet on events about which you have a complete understanding

First of all, you should start from a sport that you have a real idea about. It is not enough to understand the rules of the game; you need to know all the nuances that affect the final result. When placing bets on a little-known sport, a player equates betting on sports to roulette, where even an experienced player ultimately loses.

If you look at the experience of the best players, you will notice that they mostly place bets on the same tournaments. Basically, these are leading championships, about which the player knows almost everything. Taking football as an example, such tournaments include the Russian championship, European cups, TOP-5 European championships, as well as championships in a number of other countries (Holland, Portugal, Belgium). They account for about 90% of the total volume of bets made in bookmakers.

If you are well versed in football, but at the same time it is surprising to you that there is a regular championship in Malta, it is better to refuse bets on games of this championship.
