Do they make money on bets? Real money making in betting shops

How to make money on bets? If you are good at tennis, football, volleyball, basketball, biathlon or other sports, this will be an advantage.

Additionally, you will have to master the classic pre-match analysis, study financial strategies, understand the psychology of betting and gambling, look at the tactics of successful transactions, and find a normal bookmaker. Do not think that in 2 days you can turn from a plumber / electrician / manager into a professional capper / better who receives 20,000 rubles a week.

Step #1. Decide on the game bank. With a low-risk strategy, you will earn 1-15% of the deposit per month. If you throw in 1,000 rubles, then the net profit will be at the level of 150 rubles / month. When using a high-risk strategy, you can get 100%, 300% from the bank, but you can also “merge” very quickly.
Step #2. We choose bookmakers and study the rules. Since 2007, 1xbet (Netherlands, Curaçao) has been operating, Marathon (Curaçao) offers favorable conditions, you can open an account in William Hill (Great Britain) or Bwin (Austria). The only problem is that betting shops with foreign licenses are banned in Russia. When registering in the legal “1st rate” or “League of rates”, you will have to go through identification with the TsUPIS + pay 13% of personal income tax from profits.
Step #3. Compare coefficients. Marathon (Curaçao), William Hill and 1xbet have the same line, the odds differ insignificantly. But there are situations when in one bookmaker for the victory of team No. 1 they offer odds of 1.92, and in another - 2.12. If we bet 1,000 rubles, then in the first case we get 1,920, and in the second - 2,120. The difference is 200 rubles!
Step number 4. We use strategies and tactics. There are more than 100 of them on the Internet. There are free and paid ones. If you are offered to earn millions without investments and without risks , think about it. Perhaps this is a scam from the next "guru".

All strategies are conditionally divided into 3 groups: gaming, financial and mixed.

Gaming	Financial	Mixed (combined)
Used to analyze events and bet on them.	Necessary to control the deposit and eliminate the risk in the style: "All to zero!".	The size of the bet is determined depending on how the previous ones “entered”. Combine financial analysis and sports predictions
Classic pre-match analysis.	Flat.	Dogon.
Bookmaker fork.	Fixed income.	Martingale.
A bet on underestimated events (Value betting, "overweight", "value betting").	Kelly criterion.
Bet on clear favorites or outsiders.	% of the bank.
Dogon (classic or in quarters).

To use strategies, you must know the types of bets and markets (markets). In BC you can offer:

Ordinaries (single). Profit is defined as the derivative of the bet amount by the odds. For example, 1,000 * 3.33 = 3,330 rubles, of which 2,330 is net profit.
Express. How can I find out the results from them? The odds of 2 or more outcomes are multiplied by each other and multiplied by the bet amount. For example, 3.33 * 2.00 * 4.63 * 1,000 = 30.8358 * 1,000 = 30,835.8. If at least 1 outcome fails, we lose.
Systems. They are a set of accumulators, they can look like 3/5, 2/6, 2/8. If 1 express loses, the system can still close in plus.
Antiexpresses. They differ in coefficients of 1.01, 1.09, 1.10, 1.20 and no more. To win, you need to make an express with losing outcomes.

On the line and in live there are totals, time / matches, exact scores, odds (they are also handicaps), double chances, bets on the winner.

How much can you earn from sports betting?

Screenshots and photos of checks for 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 70,000 and even 170,000 are posted on the Internet! Beginners' eyes light up: it seems that you can press buttons and get the average salary in the region without doing anything. But you need to come down from heaven to earth: there is no dizzying profit. If you need a quick income without investments and without risks , will have to look for other options. Income depends on:

the size of the deposit;
bet amount per 1 outcome;
strategies and tactics;
analysis skills.

Let's say we bet 5-7% of the bank, and the average bet is 30,000 rubles. With a coefficient of 1.50, you can get 15,000 rubles net. But this is under an optimistic scenario. Everyone has “black bars”, unprofitable rates and unsuccessful forecasts, so we recommend setting an average monthly return of no more than 30%.

We do not take into account isolated cases when a person puts 50 rubles on a sweepstakes and receives 1 000 000 . There are big wins, but it's a big win. It is important for us to get a profit in the medium or long term, and not "wait for the weather by the sea."

In general, the only way to make a profit without risks is to become the owner of a bookmaker. You may want to (if by chance) so you need to get acquainted with the basic algorithms of profitability.

BC is created for profit and earnings. The concept of "margin" is used - that% that the bookmaker's office will earn, regardless of whether the player wins or loses. To make it easier, let's explain with an example. Let's say we have a Dynamo-CSKA match. Analysts calculated the probability of this or that outcome, and on the basis of this they allegedly set the coefficients in the line.

Option	Bookmaker odds	Estimated probability of the outcome occurring (1/coefficient)
Victory "Dynamo"	1,96	51%
CSKA victory	5,83	17%
Draw	2,32	43%

If the bookmaker worked at zero, then when adding up the probabilities, we would get 100%. But in our case, 51% + 17% + 43% = 111%. This means that the bookmaker set a margin of 11% for the match! This is a lot. In Pinnacle, 1xbet or Marathon, the margin is at the level of 1.5-7% (depending on the event, sport, number of bets), so the odds are higher than in other bookmakers.

When choosing, evaluate not only the coefficients, but also work experience, reputation, the presence / absence of sports and entertainment. There are more than 80 of them in the rules of BC 1xBet, and about 30 in Zenit. In foreign bookmakers you will be offered not only sports betting, but also slots, games, casinos, sweepstakes. Do not get carried away with gambling "buns"!

What sport to choose?

The one you understand. If you have round eyes from the words "red cards", "corners", "goal", then you do not need to mess with football. If you have no idea about headshots, frags, towers, spades, towers, then you don’t need to meddle in eSports.

There is one more feature. For rare sports and rare outcomes, the bookmaker increases the margin and lowers the odds. For example, let's take the same Pinnacle, which operates in the United States. The information is based on the generally accepted odds of American bookmakers for the NFL, College Football league, NBA, MLB.

Knowing the odds, you can estimate the profit for individual outcomes and sports.

Description of betting strategies

On the Internet, you are offered profitable strategies, they promise a pass rate of 90-100%. On separate forums they sell tactics for 15,000, 20,000 or 30,000 rubles! Do not buy:

Strategies with 100% passability guarantee.
"Agreements" (fixed matches).
Forecasts from dubious personalities.

If you are a beginner, it is better to look at free materials and test them on a demo account. True, bookmakers that have guest accounts can be counted on the fingers of one hand (Betsity, Winline).

Dogon

Dogon came from a casino where it was actively used for betting on red/black. The bottom line is that if you lose, you increase the bet amount by 2 times. The strategy is considered one of the easiest to understand, but requires:

large bank;
serious endurance.

Let's take an example to make it clear. We have a bank for 100,000 rubles, so we can easily afford 1,000 rubles for 1 transaction. Let's say we chose an outcome with a coefficient of 3.00.

Stake amount	Coefficient	Result	Calculation
1 000	3,00	losing	— 1 000
2 000	3,00	losing	— 3 000
4 000	3,00	losing	— 7 000
8 000	3,00	losing	— 15 000
16 000	3,00	win	(16,000 * 3.00) - 15,000 - 16,000 = 17,000 net profit.

5 catch-up secrets:

Odds must be greater than 2.00 (this is the reason bookmaker clients often choose a draw).
The risk of losing is high (you can spend money in your account on 9 losing bets without waiting for a profitable bet).
You need to know the BC limits (for example, you cannot bet 29,978, because the BC has set the bar at 25,000 for 1 trade).
Clients often “flirt” and turn into gambling addicts (have time to stop in time).
Bets are made on any sports (tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, hockey).

There are “Goal scored in intervals by catch-up for football”, “Double catch-up”, “Even / Odd with catch-up”, “Catch-up in quarters in basketball”.

Classic pre-match analysis. What are 7 factors to consider?

The bottom line is that you analyze 10+ parameters that directly or indirectly affect the results of the match. Based on this, bet P1, X or P2.

Recent performances. They show the form of the team / player, the presence / absence of losing streaks.
Tournament position. It's one thing when a team fights to advance further, but it's quite another if it participates in a friendly match.
Personal meetings. There are teams that have been "butting" with an equal score for years. Or one loses another for 5 years in a row.
Home/away matches. We collect statistics on them and see that the teams feel confident at home, but they can lose away.
Serious injuries and disqualifications. Clients who bet on women's tennis try to calculate even days of the menstrual cycle of athletes!
Emotional condition. There are situations when teams do not have time to "recover" after an offensive defeat. There are also cases when a motivated outsider wins.
Weather. Some teams survive the heat better, while others play "goes" in the cold and rain.

Classic pre-match analysis is something without which there are no professional forecasts and sports betting. If you have not yet mastered it, you will have to study.

Bookmaker surebet (arbitrage rate). How to “arb” correctly so that you don’t get banned?

The only risk-free betting strategy as you bet on opposite outcomes at different bookmakers. You will receive profit regardless of how the meeting ended.

The only problem is that the betting shops detect "arborers" and ban them. Clause 2.35 of the rules of BC 1xbet contains a similar prohibition (with the threat of closing the account and writing off profits on it). Pinnacle is considered to be almost the only bookmaker that welcomes arbitrage bets. This is stated directly on her website.

It is impossible to find outcomes on your own. You will either have to buy the program or take a paid subscription. To find out if there is a fork, we use the formula:

B = 1/K1 + 1/K2 + 1/K3.

Profitability in% is calculated according to the algorithm 100 - (B * 100).

For example, we have the Italian Championship. Serie A, Benevento-Fiorentina match. We went to 2 bookmakers to evaluate the odds.

"1xbet". Odds on P1 - 1,70 , coefficient on P2 - 3.9.
Pinnacle. Kef on P1 - 3.8, odds on P2 - 3,00 .

We have a fork! Let us decide to bet 1,000 rubles. In this case, we launch the calculator and see what the amount is for 1 outcome. Software is indispensable: you will go crazy while calculating the profitability on each transaction.

Bets can be placed not only on P1 and P2. You can use opposite total over 2.5 and total under 2.5; handicap (1) +4 and handicap (1) -4 and others.

But be careful because the bookmakers are watching the arbers. You can be recognized by fractional amounts like 765.034 or 1,000.92 or 2,939.3733; according to certain outcomes, according to the time of betting.

Playing in live mode. What is it and is there real money here?

Live (live, life, live) - events that have already begun and are going on right now. For example, you are watching the Fiorentina-Udinese match live. In the second, third or fifth minute, you can bet on the score in the 1st half, the score in the 2nd half or the results of the meeting.

Live mode is beneficial in that you can see the state of the teams, the alignment of forces. According to them, it is already possible to draw a conclusion about the possible results of the meeting. The only problem is that the odds in live are lower than in prematch.

Bet on underestimated events. How to find them and what to do?

You can come across other names: "Value betting", "Value betting", "Value betting". You find events whose outcome was incorrectly predicted by the bookmaker. In search of such outcomes, the sites of forecasters, forumbetters, and your own analysis will help you. You want meetings where the odds are higher than the actual probability of the outcome.

To make it easier, let's look at an example. We have a meeting "Magdalena Rybarikova - Richelle Hogenkamp". In 1xbet, Rybarikova is the favorite, because she is offered 1.15. The probability of winning calculated by the bookmaker is 86.96%.

Hogenkamp is an outsider, so the athlete has a coefficient of 6.05. Accordingly, the bookmaker estimates the probability of winning at 16.53%.

We are firmly convinced that Richelle will win, because Rybarikova dislocated her arm the other day (and will quickly give up in the meeting). We bet with a coefficient of 6.05 and earn money.

To make it easier for you, there is a formula:

V*(K-1)*D - (1-V)*D

B - probability (from 0 to 1).
K is the odds of the bookmaker's office.
D is the money you bet.

Let's say we threw 1,000 rubles on Richelle Hogenkamp. Plugging in the numbers, we get:

0,1653 * (6,05 – 1) * 1 000 – (1 — 0,1653) * 1 000 = 0,1653 * 5,05 * 1 000 – 0,8347 * 1 000 = 834,7 – 834,7 = 0.

What does it mean? The mathematical expectation of your average profit with a probability of 16.53% is zero. You must be 100% sure that the chances of an underdog winning are much higher.

Think you'll go crazy plugging in values and calculating probabilities? Calmly! Calculators are used to calculate value bets. For example, we entered a coefficient equal to 3.48. Let's say we estimate the probability at 58%. The system indicates the value 1.7399999999999997 and confirms that our trade is profitable. Will you try the method in action?

Bet on clear favorites. Where to find it and how to use it?

The essence is simple: you find matches with clear favorites and outsiders. The authors of the strategy recommend it to beginners, because supposedly the risks are minimal. But in fact, everything is not so simple.

The office puts reduced odds on the favorite, so normal profits do not shine for you.
The risks of losing still remain.

To win the favorite, you are offered 1.09 or 1.08, or 1.1, or 1.2, or 1.07. If you bet 1,000 rubles, you will receive 1,000 * 1.07 = 1,070. Net profit - 70 rubles!

For example :

Greece - Gibraltar. Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". On P1 there is a ridiculous coefficient of 1.001.
"France - Belarus". Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". On P1 we are offered 1.04.
Uruguay - Bolivia. Qualifying matches for the World Championship. South America". P1 from 1.11.
Indiana Pacers - Maccabi Haifa. NBA. Pre-season matches (with OT)." On P1 we have 1.02.

It would be possible to make an express from "low-risk outcomes". But if at least 1 outcome is not justified, we will lose. By the way, let's talk about express trains and whether it will be possible to make a million on them.

Express rates. How to choose outcomes for "locomotives"?

The bottom line is that you throw in a coupon from 2 outcomes, the coefficients between which are multiplied. The winning amount is defined as:

odds #1 * odds #2 * odds #3 * odds #4 * odds ## * bet amount.

If at least 1 of the outcomes is not justified, We are losing! Professional bettors recommend adding no more than 2-3 outcomes to a coupon. Otherwise, you expose yourself to increased risks.

For example, there are 5 outcomes on the line that can be added to the coupon.

NBA. Pre-season matches (with OT)." Denver Nuggets - Oklahoma City Thunder. We bet on P1 with a coefficient of 1.93.
NBA. Pre-season matches (with OT)." Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls. Choose total 206.5 B
with odds of 1.95.
NHL. Carolina Hurricanes - Columbus Blue Jackets. We have a total of 5.5 B, the coefficient is 2.04.
Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". "Estonia - Bosnia and Herzegovina". Double chance 2X with odds of 1.168.
Qualifying matches for the World Championship. Europe". Hungary-Faroe Islands. Individual total 1 2 M, the coefficient of which is 1.89.

In the "Bet type" field, specify "Express". The system automatically calculates the final odds for us. in

16.948. If we put 1,000 rubles, then we get 1,000 * 16.948 = 16,948 rubles. Reviews about "steam locomotives" are different. If you have just started betting on sports, choose the classic singles.

Internet betting specifics

Bookmakers that operate in the Internet space receive a license in offshore zones. Because of this, they are banned in some countries. For example, only legal betting shops are allowed in Russia, including 1xStavka and Liga Stavok. To access foreign bookmakers, you will have to look for mirrors, special programs and applications. You need to choose a reliable bookmaker whose website will work stably.

Keep yourself in control, do not slide into "ludomania". 1 loss does not mean that you urgently need to win back and raise the stakes. The main thing is long-term profit.
Remember that betting strategies there is no risk. There are only those that minimize losses and avoid unpleasant situations. At 100% there were no "passing through" and no.
Throw in the BC the money that you do not mind losing. Otherwise, you will be shaking over every penny, afraid to make a deal.
Control your finances . 1 bet should not take more than 5% of the deposit.

Use strategies, keep track of the deposit, learn new things and take losses calmly. We wish you success and profit!

Expert of the sports forecasting service team Betteam.pro Artyukhov Valery

It is quite difficult to achieve success in betting. Needless to say, after all, in more than 10 years of this activity, I personally squandered large amounts of money millions of times, but you know what I like about sports betting - the ability to return everything lost in a double or more amount.

Based solely on my experience, and not “advice” on the Internet, I can say with confidence that it is really necessary to adhere to the strategy and this is very correct, but that moment of crisis will definitely come when the style of bets needs to be changed. The realization of this will happen after a series of defeats, so it is important to apply and combine several strategies. You can not go in cycles in one, no matter how effective it is.

Important! Always divide the bank into several parts.

I prefer a riskier and more effective compensation strategy. Each of my bets is fixed and if I lose, then the next I beat off my loss, because I bet twice as much. It must be understood that such a strategy implies a large bankroll. But this does not mean that I do not use other schemes.

A positive mathematical expectation comes at the moment when the bettor forms and adheres to the basic principles of betting, and has not learned the “forks”, which are effective exactly until the BC blocks the account and all funds on it.

Every bet I make starts at 1.50 odds, otherwise it just doesn't make sense from a capital accumulation point of view. In addition to the "used" and obvious principles of betting, I would like to add some really important theses:

continuous management of statistical data;
maximum awareness in a particular sport;
calculation of the probability of entering a bet;
strict discipline;
focus on long-term profit;
complete lack of excitement;
never go for broke;
patience and calmness;
using only a fixed rate;
competent bank management.

Exceptionally strict adherence to all these principles has allowed me to achieve success and a stable income from sports betting. As a fixed bet, I always take only 10% of the banroll, no matter how hard it is. Sound bankroll management is one of the inviolable postulates, so it is very important to use the real experience of practitioners who have experienced not only ups and downs, but also downs, after which the right conclusions were drawn. Theorists with their ubiquitous "forks" and "100%" strategies lead to bankruptcy in 99.9% of cases.

Hello! In this article, we will discuss how to make money at a bookmaker.

How much can you earn: 20-40% per month;
Minimum Requirements: analytics;
Is it worth doing: if you are ready to take huge risks.

General information on making money on bookmakers

It can be attributed to the most risky ways of earning, along with HYIPs. You can make a lot of money, but it is even more likely to lose it. That is why you need to approach the constant earnings on bets wisely.

The betting game almost always comes down to one scheme:

Choice of sporting event.
Choice of betting options.
Analysis.
Bid.
Getting a win (in case of a positive outcome).

It all lies in the fact that this way of earning requires minimal physical and mental costs. Anyone can start. But consistently winning, turning everything into earnings, is not always possible.

Types of bookmaker bets

Before we start talking about earnings, let's look at the types of bets on sports events.

By time:

Long term. Not for specific matches, but for the winners of championships/tournaments. Here are the highest odds.
Pre-match. For each individual sporting event in advance.
Live bets. Bets on the current sporting event. They change depending on what is happening on the field.

And also there are the following single bets:

Outcome bet (p dinner/defeat). The simplest bet. Designated P1 or P2, depending on the order of the team.
Handicap. This is an addition to the total points of a certain value. Designated F1.

Handicap bet example: match Ufa-Krasnodar. If you put P1 F (1.5), then with an equal outcome or defeat of Ufa in 1 ball, your bet wins. The handicap can be both positive and negative.

Total. These are bets on the number of goals scored. It is designated TB and TM (total over and total under).

Total bet example: CSKA-Arsenal match. The match ended with a score of 1-4. So, if you bet TB 4.5 (and any lower number), as well as UT 5.5 (and any higher number), you will win.

Special rates. These include other bets that bookmakers publish to increase interest in the game. They can be the number of corners, penalties, free kicks, sending off, etc.

There are 3 more types of group bets:

Tote. This is a bet on several sporting events that are published by the bookmaker. There are no advance odds for these events. A common prize fund is formed from all participants. To win in the sweepstakes, you must guess the outcome of a certain number of events (specified in advance). The more you guessed, the bigger your prize (starting from the minimum number of events).
Express. Quite a popular type of betting. The user selects outcomes for several sporting events. The coefficients for each are multiplied. If all bets have passed, the player takes the prize. If at least one has not passed, everything burns.
System. Almost the same as express, it just allows for the possibility of an error in one (or several) event options. The odds are lower than with the express.

Financial Betting Strategies

Here we will consider not the strategies of the game, but the ways to manage your own bank. In total there are 2 approaches: chaotic and adhering to the strategy. The first option leads exclusively to a stable loss, and the second increases the chances of success.

There are several options for how to bet for a beginner.

Flat- a game at a fixed rate. That is, for each sporting event you make the same bet, for example, 100 rubles. For beginners, it is recommended to bet no more than 3 - 4% of the bank. better - 1 - 2. So you can minimize the risks, and if you successfully analyze games, you will even stay in the black.

Percentage from the bank- a modernized version of the flat. Instead of a fixed rate, the size of the pot is used, and the scheme is the same as in the previous version. The main advantage of this approach is the increase in income and minimization of risks. That is, if you win for a long time, then your bets are getting bigger. If you lose, you lose smaller amounts as the stakes decrease.

Fixed income is a strategy for advanced players. You choose for yourself the amount of profit you want to receive, for example, 1,000 rubles. It can be obtained by betting 500 rubles on a coefficient of 3.0, 1,000 rubles on 2.0, 2,000 rubles on 1.5, or 4,000 rubles on 1.25. This approach allows you to bet different amounts on different events, and with the right ratio of risky bets with a large odds and low bets with a small one, you can get big money over a long distance.

Never bet big or play for the whole pot. Only if your goal is to enjoy the game, backing it up with additional excitement. In any other case, even if you win, the next bet will safely drain the deposit.

If you want to consistently earn, focus on one of these three financial strategies. They allow professionals to earn, and beginners not to lose large sums.

Who will be able to earn in bookmakers

Most bettors bet in search of easy money or "for fun". Both categories consistently receive losses, the former leave or lose every penny, while the latter simply bet small amounts, fueling their interest in a sporting event.

Despite the general opinion that it is unrealistic to make money on bets, there are those who are really successful here and have a lot of money. But there are very few such people, and they rarely declare themselves. To become one of the successful players, you will need:

Self-discipline.
Ability to manage money.
Knowledge of sports events.

How much can you earn on BC

This question is clearly difficult to answer. All players had moments when they caught accumulators, from which they earned both 100 and 1,000%. And there was a series of unsuccessful bets, after which the entire deposit was merged once again.

If we are talking about a stable income, then this is almost unrealistic. I think the level of players who always go to "+" by 20 - 30% per month, about the same as when playing - from 10 - 15% of all people who are trying to earn money.

Previously, it was possible to earn about 1-2% per day on surebets. On good days, full of games - up to 10%. Now the limits are cut almost instantly, so earning even 0.5% is unrealistic. And other methods can misfire and deprive the bank with a 99% probability. But this is when playing for a long time.

Therefore, you can think about a stable exit to plus and real earnings, counting on 15 - 20% per annum. If you bet on the advice of top analysts from closed groups, you can earn up to 35 - 40% already at the initial stage. But you will have to pay for this and disperse your account to at least 100 - 200 thousand rubles.

How to find a profitable strategy

Successful players analyze hundreds of matches and come up with certain strategies. But these developments are constantly changing, so finding relevant ones is quite difficult. So let's talk about how people come up with their profitable strategies.

Many bettors prefer to make money on tennis. This is a game in which everything depends on the skill and circumstances of the game, and not on refereeing errors and random factors.

When I was studying the rates, I came across one portal that gave approximately the following information:

In the N-th tennis cup, top tennis players with a devastating score often win the first set (something in the region of 6-1, 6-2), then lose the second in the middle fight (3-6, 4-6) and again in the third win. And if the first set was won by a top tennis player, then in 90% of cases this outcome of the game was repeated.

That is, people who make money on bets, study the history of matches in different tournaments, draw certain conclusions about teams, players, and, based on statistics, develop their strategies. But at the same time, without risk, it still will not work. Even the arbers admitted that there are certain risks in their work in the form of changing the coefficients.

That is why, before you start betting in a particular sport, study all the statistics of the tournament (at least the current season) and see what the most likely outcomes of the current event are, analyze them, compare your own forecast with the opinion of experts, and only after that bet.

Conclusion

If you are far from sports or want easy money, then you don’t even need to think about earning money at bookmakers. History knows a lot of people who went bankrupt on this. Real earnings will be available only when you take everything seriously, start to analyze, use your own strategies and win. In any other case, the bank will drain.

But you can't beat the bookmaker

When my friends find out that I make money on sports betting, they immediately ask me who will win the next match. I say I don't know, and they are surprised.

Alexey Kashnikov

forklift

Everything looks very simple in making money on bets: you bet on the favorite, waited for the victory, received money, and along the way, also cheered for your favorite team. Sports betting does not seem like a game of chance - rather a dispute with a bookmaker about who plays better. What does he know about football?

Editor's Note: Troublesome Things

When we were preparing this article, we tore two lawyers to pieces, trying to figure out if there was a violation of the law in the actions of the author Alexei Kashnikov. On the one hand, Aleksey plays on sites blocked in Russia and can violate the rules of betting systems, if viewed from their side. On the other hand, he also plays with bookmakers whose interests are not represented in Russia, while not violating Russian laws. When asked about taxes, Alexey replied that bookmakers pay the tax required by law from all his taxable income in Russia. Respect and respect.

Of course, we wrote this article so that you never play with bookmakers, but just in case, we must warn you: you yourself are responsible for the consequences of your decisions, relations with the state and bookmakers. Take care of yourself by all means.

Unfortunately, in betting everything is like in a casino: sometimes you guess the winner and win a lot of money, but at a distance the office will return everything to itself and leave you in the red. This is inherent in the very idea of bookmaking: no one will accept a truly disadvantageous bet from you.

Also, mathematicians

There are no mathematical subtleties in this article - only the roughest calculations. We understand that in the calculations you need to take into account all the reservations, this is an extremely interesting activity. But for a beginner, it is more important to understand where the numbers come from, what they mean and how bookmakers use them against players. The mathematical throne, heated by the warmth of your bodies, remains impregnable.

What kind of bookmakers, bro?

Bro, it's very simple. Somewhere in the world someone is always playing something: for example, two teams in football. Or two teenagers go out for a rap battle. It is not clear in advance which of them will win, and some people are interested in arguing about it.

There are organizations that are ready to help them in this dispute - these are bookmakers. One man says: "Real will win", the second says: "No, Barcelona will win." Both give the bookmaker money. The bookmaker remembers who bet on what, and waits for Real Madrid to play with Barcelona.

Let's say Real Madrid won. The first man won, the second lost. The first one gets his bet back and some more money on top - this is his winnings. The second loses his bet.

The bookmaker's office (BC) sets the rules of the game, receives and gives out money, monitors the outcome of matches, and informs players about everything that happens. The work of the BC is regulated by 244-FZ, the new edition comes into force on May 28, 2018. Bookmakers can open offices outside the official gambling zones, they are required to join self-regulatory organizations, and the activity of bookmakers is licensed. According to Russian laws, the equipment of bookmakers must be located in Russia.

In short: how to bet on sports

Open an account with a bookmaker.
Pass identity verification. The procedure differs between bookmakers, but they give detailed instructions on their websites and over the phone.
To put money into the account. This is called "make a deposit".
Select the event and outcome you want to bet on.
Check limits: bookmakers set a minimum and maximum bet for each selection.
Bet as much as you want, within the limits.
Wait for the result.
If you win, you can withdraw money or continue to bet. Often bookmakers withdraw only to the account from which you deposited money. For example, deposited from a bank card - you will receive a payment to it.
At the end of the year, if at least once you rented from 4,000 R to 15,000 R, pay taxes.

Player vocabulary: basic concepts in betting

Bookmakers and players use special terms in their work: bet, event, outcome, line, and others. I'll tell you what they mean.

A bet is your prediction backed by money. In our example, the first player assumes that Real Madrid will win, and bets 100 R on this - this is his bet. The law still uses the concept of "interactive bet" for playing over the Internet and calculating the tax on winnings.

An interactive bet is the amount that a player deposits into a bookmaker's account for online betting. For example, they put 1000 R - the tax authorities consider this a rate. In reality, a player can make an infinite number of bets for any amount at the expense of this thousand: lose, win, bet the winnings again. Let's say the player was very lucky and after a thousand bets the amount on his account grew to a million - for the legislator he still bet 1000 R. The account itself, on which the online game is played, is called a deposit.

Bets are placed on the outcome of an event - usually a sports match. They also accept bets on non-game sports or social life - an event can be a Formula 1 race, a biathlon race, elections or the birth of the heir to the English throne.

Outcome is the way in which the event will end. For example, a football match may end with the first team winning, a draw, or the second team winning. That's three outcomes. The match may not score goals, score one, two, three or more. A team can win by one, two or more goals. All of these are outcomes. Outcomes are combined in a line. Sometimes the word "event" is also used in the meaning of "outcome".

The line is the number and types of outcomes.

The bookmaker lays out the main outcomes in quick access - they are called the main line. The main line necessarily includes the victory of the first team, a draw and the victory of the second. If you click on the match card, a "painting" will open - additional outcomes. There are an infinite number of them: will both teams score, what will be the score, will there be penalties, how many corners will be given, how many fouls will the first team receive, and even how many goals will be scored with a head. If there are many outcomes in the painting, this is a “wide painting”, or a “wide line”, if there are few - “narrow”.

If they say “line for a match”, they mean the outcomes for a match, if “bookmaker line” is a set of lines for all matches that this office gives. Sometimes the line is called bets before the match, as opposed to "live" - bets during the match. But you can also say "live line" - it means that these are outcomes for events that are already underway.

Coefficient. The bookmaker assigns odds to each outcome. Remember the two men, one bet on Real Madrid and the other on Barcelona? The one that won took home the extra money. But how much exactly? This determines the ratio.

Bookmakers themselves determine how much money we win if we guess the result. The ratio of the possible win and the bet is just called the betting odds. The odds are hardwired into bookmaking income and the reason why bettors stay in the red in the long run. Decimal coefficients are accepted in Russia.

If we bet 100 rubles on the victory of Pakhtakor, and he wins, we will get 100 × 3.16 = 316 R. Of these, 100 rubles is our rate, so the real plus is 216 R. If we do not guess the result, the bet goes to the bookmaker

What are the rates

For popular outcomes, bookmakers have come up with their own names and designations. You can bet on one outcome, you can combine several events in one bet - for these cases, their own terms are also used.

Main line. I have already said that the main line is bets on the victory of the first team, a draw or the victory of the second. The victory of the first team is indicated by "P1" or simply "1", a draw - "X", the victory of the second - "Win2" or simply "2". You can bet at the same time on a win first or a draw - denoted by "1X". Likewise, a second win or a draw is "X2" and a first or second win is "12". For example, the last bet will only lose if there is a tie. Such bets are called "double chance".

Totals are bets where the event is the number of goals scored, points scored, corners taken or fouls received. They are placed on the principle of "more / less". For example, you bet "total over 2.5 goals". So, if the teams score 2 or less goals in total, you lose, if 3 or more, you win. For example, a score of 1:1 is “total under 2.5”, a score of 2:2 is “total over 2.5”. There are individual totals - then the goals of only one team are considered.

Width="1400" height="610" class=" outline-bordered" style="max-width: 700.0px; height: auto" data-bordered="true"> . In this case, if the number of goals matches the value of the total, the bet is returned. With a bet of 100 R on “total over 3”, the bet loses if 0-2 goals are scored, and wins if 4 or more goals are scored. If exactly 3 goals are scored, the bookmaker will simply return the bet 100 R

handicap or handicap. It happens that one team is clearly stronger than the other. For example, France plays football against Cyprus. France is likely to win, and the odds for her victory are low - it's not interesting to bet. I don't want to bet on Cyprus either.

But you can bet with a higher odds, with what advantage France will win. This will be a "negative handicap". For example, "handicap -2.5" for France means that we take away 2.5 balls from France. If they win by 3 or more goals, for example 4:1 or 3:0, the bet is won. If the gap is two or less goals, for example 1:0 or 3:2, the bet is lost.

"Positive handicap" shows how far you allow your team to lose. For example, bet on Cyprus "handicap +2.5". This means that we add 2.5 goals to their result. If Cyprus loses, but only by two balls or less, your bet has won. If he loses by three or more goals, the bet is lost.

A special case of an integer handicap is the "zero handicap". Otherwise, such a bet is called "no draw". We kind of add 0 to the result of our team. Therefore, if we win, the bet will win, if we lose, we will lose, and if we draw, we will return it. If you simply bet on P1, then with a draw we will lose the bet, and with a “zero handicap” a draw - well, okay, we remain on our own.

Otherwise, the odds are called "Asian handicap". There is also a “European handicap”, but most Russian bookmakers do not offer it.

Singles and Express. All of the examples above are bets on a single outcome, or singles. You can combine two or more outcomes in your bet, then this is an “express”. In this case, the coefficients for each outcome are multiplied, but everything must match.

For example, two Champions League matches are coming up: Tottenham against Ajax and Barcelona against Liverpool. The player believes that Tottenham will win the first match, and Barcelona will win the second. He can bet two singles of 100 R: on the victory of Tottenham with odds of 2.285 and on the victory of Barcelona at odds of 1.93. Then, if both bets win, he will receive 421.5 R: (100 × 2.285) + (100 × 1.93) = 228.5 + 193. 200 R were the player, so the profit is 221.5 R.

And you can put express. Then it will be one bet with odds of 2.285 × 1.93 = 4.41. But if at least one outcome does not match, it is a loss. The player bets 200 R - receives 882 R: 200 × 4.41. 200 R were his, so the profit was 682 R. It would seem that express bets are more profitable. But if only Tottenham win and Barcelona draw, the player will lose 200 R. With singles of 100 R in the same situation, he would be in the black.

Express bets combine any type of bet: main line, totals, odds and everything else. But you can not combine related outcomes. For example, “total over 1.5” and “handicap minus 1.5” for the same match: “handicap minus 1.5” already assumes that two or more goals will be scored, which means that our total automatically wins , and an express from these two outcomes.

In general, express is more profitable for bookmakers than single bet. It is gamblers who shove 10-20 outcomes into express bets that make profit for offices. It turns out a high coefficient and the opportunity to get rich from a bet of 100 R. But the probability of losing is much higher.

Systems. You can combine in one bet and the express themselves. Such bets are called "system" and their logic is difficult to keep in mind, but let's analyze the simplest option - "system ⅔". The first number is the number of events in express bets, the second is the number of outcomes from which these express bets will be made. The system does not have a single coefficient, like a single or express.

First, we choose outcomes. Our system needs three. Let's add to the previous example one more outcome with a coefficient of 1.64. Now we have this set:

Exodus 1 - 2.285

Exodus 2 - 1.93

Exodus 3 - 1.64

We have a "system ⅔", so the bookmaker determines how many options for double accumulators with these three outcomes. There are three expresses:

Express 1: Outcome 1 + Outcome 2 = 2.285 × 1.93 = 4.42

Express 2: Outcome 1 + Outcome 3 = 2.285 × 1.64 = 3.75

Express 3: Outcome 2 + Outcome 3 = 1.93 × 1.64 = 3.17

Let's put 90 R on the system. The bookmaker will divide the bet by the number of possible accumulators: 90 / 3 = 30 Р - this is the price of one option. Now we are waiting for which variants of the express match, and multiply their coefficients by the price of the variant.

If all three outcomes match, then all three accumulator bets will match:

Express 1: 4.42 × 30 = 133 R

Express 2: 3.75 × 30 = 113 R

Express 3: 3.17 × 30 = 95 R

Now we sum up the winnings - this will be the total winnings for the system: 133 + 113 + 95 = 341 Р. They set 90 R, so the profit is 251 R.

If only two out of three outcomes match, for example, the first and third, then only one express will play: outcome 1 + outcome 3. The payoff for it is 113 R. They set 90 R, so the profit is 23 R.

If one outcome matches or none matches, the system has lost.

Larger systems are considered by the same logic. For example, in the “3/6 system” there should be six outcomes, from which we make possible options for triple express trains - there will already be twenty of them.

Fixed games

First, about the easiest way to take money from the population - insider information. You don't even need mathematicians to understand that this is a scam.

Imagine: you are chatting with other fans, arguing about the chances of teams, choosing what to bet on. And then a stranger appears who claims to know about the upcoming match-fixing. If you want to bet and win - pay and he will tell you everything. For you to believe, it offers the first result for free. Check: Liverpool will win Chelsea today in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea.

This is a scammer. He has no idea who will actually win. If it turns out to be Chelsea or if it's a draw, well, no luck. The scammer will leave the chat and return in a couple of days under a different name. But if Liverpool really win, then the stranger can be trusted. And now the players are already buying the results of the next five matches from him. The deed is done, the swindler evaporates.

It seems that only very naive people fall for this divorce. But try to resist when big money is at stake. In addition, people really believe that there are only agreements around. And if so, someone should know the results.

If someone knew the results of the agreement, he would bet on it himself, and would not be engaged in retail trade in secrets without registration and SMS.

Low odds

To calculate the coefficient, the bookmaker estimates the probability of an event, and then divides one by this probability. For example, if he believes that the probability of winning is 50/50, then in an ideal world the odds would be two:

If the BC is not wrong with the probability, then in our ideal situation, on average, players will remain at zero: half of their bets will double, half will burn out. Now attention: we are talking about the masses of players, about tens, hundreds and thousands of people, and not about one individual player.

If the team's chances of winning are less than 50%, then the players in the mass will win less than half the time - and, on average, will go into the red. If the odds are higher than 50%, then the players will win on average more than half the time, so the bookmaker will lose money.

According to this math, in order to regularly win against bookmakers, you need to understand sports better than them. But bookmakers make money by understanding sports better than their customers.

But even if we fly to the future and find out the results of the match, it turns out that the bookmakers have provided for this option and have lowered the odds.

If the bookmaker believes that an adequate odd is 2, then in the line he gives a lower odd, for example 1.85. If we bet 100 rubles on this outcome, then we will win only 185 rubles, and the chance is still 50%.

The best way to tell about this is a diagram. Look: we have two matches, we bet 100 rubles on each. In one case we lose, in the second we win. At the ideal bookmaker, after these two bets, we remained “with our own”, and at the usual one we lost 15 R:

Chances of winning - 50%

This is not a scam, but a bookmaker's margin - like everyone else, bookmakers need to earn. The usual bookmaker margin is 7.5%: if the bookmaker believes that an adequate odd is 2, then for players it will be 1.85. Usually, players do not even suspect that they are betting on low odds - only bookmakers know how and what they counted.

This is why parlays are more unprofitable than singles: in parlays, lowered odds for different outcomes are multiplied and the final margin of the bookmaker becomes larger.

The odds math beats any predictions. Even if the experts are very well versed in sports and offer the right strategy, only bookmakers decide how much you win or lose. They take away their margin whether you win or not. Mathematical expectation is always in their favor.

Bonuses

The bonus is additional money on the betting account with the bookmaker, which the player receives after the first deposit. Usually they make up 50-100% of its amount. They put 10 thousand rubles into the account - they received another 10 thousand.

At first glance, it seems that with the help of bonuses, bookmakers share part of their margin with players. You can distribute the amounts among different bookmakers and earn a lot of money. But that's not the case at all.

The problem is that bonuses have rules and conditions that make them no longer profitable. Like all self-respecting terms and conditions, they are not in plain sight, but hidden behind links and asterisks. And sometimes there are no links either - you have to look for conditions in the bowels of the betting site, in the sections of promotions or bonuses.

The main catch is that bonus money cannot be withdrawn immediately. First you need to make bets for a certain amount - “play back the bonus”. The amount that is needed for this is called rollover.

If the rollover is twenty times the bonus, then in order to withdraw 10 thousand bonus, you will first have to make bets on 200 thousand. While we wager the bonus, we bet on a lowered odds. If the bookmaker underestimates the odds by 7.5%, then while we win back 10 thousand, the bookmaker will earn 15 thousand on us. That is ... wait ... how is it ...

You can not put bonus money on any bets: the bookmakers themselves decide how and where you will wager the bonus. It may turn out that 7.5% is still lucky. Not only that: the rollover must be played within a certain time. If you do not meet, both the bonus and the winnings for bonus money will burn out.

A few years ago, you could earn on bonuses. But professional players are so carried away by this that the bookmakers have tightened the rules - after all, as soon as the players remain in the black, the bookmakers are in the red. Their stance towards bonuses is well illustrated by a footnote on one betting website: “The bonus is offered for customer entertainment purposes and cannot be used by the customer as a way to make a profit.” So if you find a site with an attractive bonus, re-read all the conditions - it will surely turn out that you will have to pay for the entertainment.

martingale method

Players who have calculated the mathematics of bets and realized that bookmakers cannot be defeated are trying to call on the theory of probability to help and come up with different gaming systems. The most famous is the martingale method, also known as the Monte Carlo method, “catching up”.

The martingale method is a game model in which a player always bets on one result with a coefficient of at least two, doubling the bet each time. Sooner or later, this result falls out - and then the player returns all the lost money and wins something from above. It turns out that the player "catches up" with the win - hence the name. After that, the bet size returns to the initial one and everything starts anew.

For clarity, let's apply catch-up in football. Let's take a series of real matches from the sports chronicle, add betting odds, imagine that we bet on a draw all the time, and calculate.

Catching up with a draw in football

Basel - Manchester United

Defeat

1000 R

Juventus - Tottenham

Defeat

2000 R

3000 R

Porto - Liverpool

Defeat

4000 R

7200 R

In the first match we bet 1000 R, but Manchester United wins - we have -1000 R. In the second match, we bet 2000 R and lose again: Juventus won. In the third match, we bet 4000 R and win.

The win is equal to the bet multiplied by the betting odds: 4000 × 3.55 = 14,200 R. From this amount we subtract 4000 R, because this is our bet, and another 3000 R, which we lost in the first two matches. In total, thanks to the martingale method, we won 14,200 - 4,000 - 3,000 = 7200 R for the series.

In the next match, we again bet 1000 R on a draw - the cycle repeats.

The method looks magical: elementary school math, no flaws to be seen, double down and collect the money. Because of this, it is very popular, people willingly use it and advise their friends. Even casinos and bookmakers advertise it. This alone should raise doubts: the casino will never recommend a method that actually helps to beat it. But everything looks so convincing that people let themselves be deceived.

To make sure that the martingale method is unprofitable, let's look under the hood.

We continue to bet on a draw in football. The main problem is that sooner or later there will be such a long series without draws that there will not be enough money for the next bet. It doesn't happen very often. For example, the Swiss football club Schaffhausen has played 32 matches in a row without a draw, and Znamya Truda from the Russian second division - 26. At the time of this writing, ten teams have already played more than 20 matches without a draw in a row this season.

But nine matches without a draw will be enough for us. For ease of calculation, let's imagine that the odds for each outcome are the same: 33% for one team to win, 33% for the other team to win, and 33% for a draw. Here is what the math of the martingale method would look like.

How much money do you need to play the martingale method

Match	Bid	Total losses	Loss probability
1	1000 R	−1000 R	67%
2	2000 R	−3000 Р	44%
3	4000 R	−7000 R	30%
4	8000 R	−15 000 R	20%
5	16 000 R	−31 000 R	13%

Many novice bookmaker players, or people who just want to try to monetize their knowledge in the field of sports, are interested in the question: "Is it possible to earn money by betting on sports?". In this article, we will try to answer your questions, as well as, without embellishment, talk about whether it is possible to turn sports betting into a highly profitable business.

Making money on bets in bookmakers is not an easy task. Let's be honest, not everyone is able to consistently make money on bets, and it's not a fact that you are an exceptional person. For most people, betting at bookmakers is a hobby, a source of adrenaline, and for some it is simply more interesting to watch a match when money is at stake. However, there is a category of players for whom betting on sports events has become a means of stable income, they are called. According to unconfirmed reports, there are few such players, only 2-3% of the total number of bookmaker customers around the world. The income of professionals depends on many factors, but, again, according to unconfirmed reports, such players earn about 60-80% of the initial bank per season. For example, a season lasts about eight months, which means that a professional player's earnings for eight months, with an initial account balance of $10,000, will be approximately $6,000 - $8,000. Who is stopping you from becoming one of these 2-3% lucky ones?

Therefore, the answer to the question "is it possible to make a living by betting on sports" will be - YES YOU CAN!

If you do decide to try betting on a professional level, be prepared for the fact that most likely you will fail. If you are a gambler, not a mathematical genius, or not the grandson of Vanga, then turning bets into a means of earning money will be on the verge of fantasy for you.

Many players who are already clients of bookmakers are furious when they hear that it is unrealistic to make money in a betting shop. Their indignation is not entirely clear, because such indignant not only play for penny sums, they also always lose. It would be more accurate to say that these people do not have a stable income on bets, but only from time to time fall into a streak of luck, and they can even accomplish, as they themselves believe, a real feat, winning a thousand from three hundred rubles. As a result, they still then drain everything, if not the next day, then in a week, a month, two. Such players are "non-plus", and in the long run they are either in a big minus, or at zero.

There are resources on the Internet that claim that it is impossible to consistently make a profit from sports betting, and this is just entertainment. Meanwhile, there are resources that claim the opposite. According to such sites, sports betting can make a profit, and not a small one. There are still resources that sell sports forecasts, but I don’t even want to consider them. Not only do these forecasts of gullible beginners not make them richer, they also drive them into minuses. A person who bought a forecast, or a subscription for a whole month, does not even have time to return the funds spent on the purchase of this subscription. What a professional better earns in eight months, these "craftsmen" earn in 30 days. Well, isn't it funny?

We cannot agree with either the first or the second type of sites, although in some ways each of them is right. It is possible to make money on sports betting, another question is whether this income will be stable, and whether it will be so big. In addition, there are a lot of factors that affect the income from betting, well, at least the initial bank and the game strategy. If you do not have a large playing bank, and even play without a strategy, then most likely you will fail. Some resources claim that the line laid by the bookmaker prevents you from winning on bets. You must clearly understand that this is complete nonsense, the margin will not affect the outcome of the event in any way. The bookmaker's margin over a long distance allows the bookmaker to minimize their risks, otherwise how would the bookmaker make money?

Consider a small example. The coin has two sides - heads and tails. Having tossed a coin 10 times, the eagle can fall out 5 times, and 8 times, and 4 times - this is a short distance. At a long distance, the number of tossings tends to infinity, and the number of heads or tails will be approximately 50 to 50. It is pointless to argue about this, you need to accept it as an axiom. If the odds given by the bookmaker were always 2.0 and 2.0, then in theory, in the long run, neither you nor he would have received any profit. Therefore, margins are included in the odds, and then they will be, say, 1.90 and 2.0. Let's take a distance of 20 bets, of which you will lose 10 and win 10. For the amount of bets, we take 100 rubles for convenience. So, by winning 10 bets of 100 rubles each with a coefficient of 1.90, you will earn 1900 rubles, while the net income will be 900 rubles. Now let's calculate if you lost 10 bets of 100 rubles each: 100 X 10 = 1000. What we have: for 10 winning bets you earned 900 rubles net, but at the same time you lost 1000. It was these 100 rubles that the bookmaker earned, and you 50% of the patency lost these 100 rubles, although ideally you have a draw in disputes.

Having considered the example, it becomes clear that the margin does not affect the outcome of events, it prevents you from earning in the long run. The only thing that can be done is to take inflated odds, and strictly from 2.0, and this does not guarantee you success.

"So, how do professionals make money?", - you ask. Answer: looking for "value bets", placing " ", playing not " " and its variations, but " " and its improved types.

For some reason, many players are convinced that if you treat bets like a business, then success will certainly come.. I wonder how they imagine it, and what they mean by the word "business"? It is for a bookmaker that bets are a business, and for the vast majority of players - "I twist, I want to win!". The bookmaker, due to the margin, will make a profit regardless of whether your bet passes or not. Your bet has passed, but a hundred other players have not, that's all the math. The bookmaker in this dispute almost does not risk anything, but you risk hard-earned money.

So let's sum up. It is possible to win on sports betting, but a stable income on sports betting is a rather dubious and ambiguous matter. Earn on bets in bookmakers, only 2-3% of players worldwide. To find out if you can become one of these lucky ones, you can only try. To start your way as a better, you must first learn all the intricacies of the game in a bookmaker, learn about all the pitfalls, choose a reliable bookmaker and build a good bank. And remember, betting at bookmakers is not your last hope for becoming a successful person and making a big fortune. Good luck!

Making money on sports betting is a whole science. To consistently win and make good profits, you need to constantly improve yourself. There is an opinion that the betting business is arranged in such a way that it is impossible to make money on it. After all, even successful players lose after several successful bets, and the bookmaker's margin eats up profits at a distance.

This is not entirely true. That is, this happens to most players, but there is a certain percentage of bettors who have turned sports betting into a stable income. They are distinguished not only by an analytical mindset, but also by extreme self-discipline. We will talk about how to bet in order to consistently earn money on sporting events in our article.

How do bookmakers make money on bets?

First you need to understand how bookmakers make money on sports betting. Usually beginners become their victims. They naively believe that understanding a particular sport is enough to place bets and make a stable profit. To become a successful player, you need to take into account a lot of nuances.

There are users who bet exclusively on their favorite team or athlete. Earnings of such players are not particularly interested. Their main goal is to get emotions. If the forecast is justified, then the players receive an excellent bonus in the form of money, if not, then they enrich the bookmaker.

A gambler is a real gift for a bookmaker. Such a player, after several failures, makes reckless large bets to cover losses. In practice, it turns out quite differently. Usually debts grow like a snowball.

Margin is another type of bookmaker's income. This is a certain percentage of which the office keeps for itself as payment for intermediary services. When analysts distribute the probability of a certain sporting event, then the margin is included in the percentage. For example, if the probability of two athletes winning is 30 and 70 percent, then the bookmaker offers 27 and 67 percent. Each bookmaker has a different margin, and if a player wants to make money on sports betting, then it is better to cooperate with an institution that has a small margin.

How to make money on betting as a beginner?

If you bet on sports solely for fun and do not consider this occupation as a stable income, then you can skip this paragraph. But be prepared for the fact that, most likely, you will lose the money that you deposited to the account of the bookmaker.

If you want to not only make deposits, but also earn money, treat forecasts as an investment. The main task is to place bets exclusively on events, in the positive outcome of which you are as sure as possible, which increases the likelihood of earning.

Here are some tips that will help beginners not lose their bankroll.

Give up bets “for the sake of interest”, “just because”, “to support your favorite team”, etc. Such actions will not bring income, but will lead to a guaranteed loss of money.
Do not rush to place a bet: think a few times - click "apply coupon" once.
Never win back when you lose. Do not make the typical mistakes of gambling people.
Listen to the opinions of experienced players, but remember that even professionals can make mistakes. The final decision must be made by yourself.
Accept the inevitable - your bets will not always be winning: sometimes you need to take a few steps back, so that later you can jump forward with more force and make good money.

There are many strategies for people who intend to turn betting into a profitable business. Explore them all and choose the best one for you. Only an integrated approach will allow you to turn bets into a decent income.

Bankroll management

Deposit only the amount that you can afford to lose to the BC account. Focus solely on your own financial capabilities. There is no need to look at other players who bet tens of thousands and think that it makes sense for them to play correctly, and you need to constantly take risks with 1000 rubles. If you approach the issue from a professional side, then any amount can be turned into a million.

The main mistake of novice betting clients is the lack of a clear bankroll. There are 200 rubles in the account - they bet them, they earned - you can stick in 3000, they are still untwisted - why not take a chance on 7000, if you lose - I will put all the remaining money on sky-high to return what was lost. With such an approach, it is naive to count on earnings. Allocate a certain budget for the game (experts recommend betting 5-7% of the total pot). Even if it is 200 or 300 rubles. Better stable micro-earnings from bets than permanent losses.

There are three main financial strategies that beginners and professionals use when making money on bets:

Flat.
Dogon.
Forks.

It is a percentage of the total budget. Flat, for example, is of four types:

Static. Each bet is 1-5 percent of the initial capital.
Dynamic. 1-5 percent of the current bankroll.
Academic. 1-10 percent, depending on or sport.
Chaotic. Up to 25 percent on each bet, but only within one short-term tournament (for example, the World Cup).

Using a flat, you can get the maximum profit during a series of victories and lose minimally during failures. A good balanced strategy for systematic earnings on bets.

- a strategy that involves increasing the size of the bet in case of defeat. You yourself determine the number of circles and with the help of a calculator (it can be found on the Internet in the public domain) you will find out the amount at each step. Catching up makes sense when you have enough money for at least 7-9 iterations (laps): your chances of losing all the money are less than 1 percent. If you stick to the strategy, then stable earnings on bets are guaranteed. A significant disadvantage of this technique is that with a protracted series of failures, you can lose the entire bank.

If you want to have guaranteed earnings on bets, look for surebets. This is a situation where you will remain in the black regardless of the result of the match. But for this, you need to register in several bookmakers at once. Surebets can be in events with both double and triple outcomes.

For example, in a tennis match, the odds for winning the game of a certain athlete may be different for several offices. One bookmaker can set 2.07, another 2.2. Your task is to find two opposite events with such coefficients that will allow you to win in any outcome.

Of course, manually finding a plug is almost impossible. To search, use special programs on the Internet. There are both paid and free services for making money on bets without risk. Paid programs cover many tournaments and offer better positions.

Popular sports betting

One of the popular strategies of professional bettors is single bets with an average odds of 1.95. To stay in the black at a distance and earn consistently, you need to give a correct forecast for 53 matches out of 100. For those who follow all the meetings, keep statistics and keep abreast of the latest news, such a figure is not a problem. The main requirement is that for stable earnings you need to put the same amount on each coupon.

A serious advantage of the described strategy is that even in the worst month you are unlikely to lose more than a quarter of the bankroll. The disadvantage is that even in the most successful month, your earnings will be no more than a quarter of the budget.

The average ROI with odds of 1.95 is about 2%. By making 50 bets of 1000 rubles per month, you will earn 2% of the total turnover - 2000. From this we can conclude that you either need to make dozens of bets per day, or have a solid budget for more substantial earnings.

Which sport to choose for making money on bets?

Beginners who are just taking their first steps in the betting industry and dream of turning betting into a stable income without risk often do not know which sport to choose for this.

It should be noted that experienced analysts work in the bookmaker. They are well versed in all sports, so there is no need to hope for a mistake by employees. Even if you intend to bet on the Italian Serie C or another little-known tournament.

Here are a few things a beginner should pay attention to:

Limited range of competitions. To get a stable income on sports betting, beginners often go to extremes, starting to bet on dozens of different tournaments to find the best one. Professionals have already outlined for themselves certain tournaments and competitions that bring them significant profits.
Bet only on sports that you understand. Don't try to win in a sport you don't know anything about. This is fraught with large financial losses.
Popular sports. Football is very popular among bettors. More than half of all bets fall on this sport. The more popular the competition, the lower the bookmaker's margin in the odds, so the player's chances of winning increase.

Is it worth buying match-fixing predictions?

Now the Internet is replete with all sorts of offers for the sale of predictions for fixed matches. Many beginners who are trying to figure out how to make money on sports betting naively believe that buying such offers will bring them a steady income. Moreover, the cost of such forecasts varies from 500 to 20,000 rubles. We advise you to refrain from such purchases for two reasons.

Most of the people offering to buy such predictions are ordinary scammers. They have a little more experience than you. That is why the probability of a successful outcome of the event is slightly higher. Buying contracts involves significant costs of your deposit. In the event of a loss, salespeople will come up with many reasons to explain the failure. Some will simply stop responding to you.

Only a limited number of people have information about match-fixing. Even some players who are direct participants in a sporting event are not aware that their team is leaking the meeting.

A vivid example is the interview of the former Dynamo Kyiv forward, Sergei Rebrov, which he gave already when he was a coach. In it, he said that when he first came to the club, they had a game with one of the outsiders of the championship. When Rebrov beat two defenders and scored a goal, he was delighted and ran to accept the congratulations of his teammates, but drew attention to the fact that they did not welcome his actions at all.

“Only after the game did I find out that my team was leaking the match,” said Rebrov.

If someone has information about a fixed match, then he will not share it even for a lot of money. That is why offers to buy 100% contracts for 10,000 rubles are absurd.

How much can you earn from sports betting?

Often, beginners strive to quickly raise money in bookmakers and wonder how much they can earn on bets per month. It is rather difficult to give an exact answer to it, because earnings in this industry can be unlimited.

There are players who win millions, but they are very few. Among professionals, it is considered quite good to earn 20-30% of your own bank per month. Therefore, if someone offers to promote your account and promises to increase the bank by 1000% in a few days, do not pay attention to him. Remember that making money on bets is hard work that requires an analytical mindset and careful monitoring of information.

How do professionals make money on sports betting?

The method of earning money on sports betting for professionals is strikingly different from the game for beginners. Usually, pros register not only in 8-10 bookmakers, but also on several exchanges.

In addition to carefully monitoring the statistics of events that need to bet on, they analyze the coefficients of each resource and find the most optimal ones. Often, professionals use not only gaming strategies (fork, etc.), but also financial ones (“Kelly criterion”, “Miller”, “Oscar Grind”, etc.).

For sports betting, they use no more than 3-5% of their own bank. The pros have no illusions about the multiple increase in the deposit in the first few days. Monthly earnings of 30-40% of the initial bank is considered an excellent indicator.

Conclusion

To turn betting into a stable income, you need to treat betting like a business, learn how to manage your budget and play only according to strategy.
