A lot of us here love sports and we are betting at the same time.
I am not successful in this kind of venture but I would love to know from people here on what they do in order to win.
They say that sports betting has no house edge, but why is it it's still hard to win here?

Because it is still a form of gambling so luck has a role in order to win even though the chance is higher. Unlike other types of gambling, in sports betting there are many factors that will help you to win like the popularity, their records or listen to some opinions of sports analyst.

The fact that it is gambling is the main reason that you won't earn money from it as much as you want.

You are mistaken my friend. Sports betting have higher house edge compared to online crypto-based dice and some other online crypto-based casino betting sites.

Take a look at this English Open in snooker moneyline. Both David Grace and Michael Georgiou are 50/50 according to betting experts. But if you bet on any of them you won't get 100% return. Instead it is only 88.87% meaning the house edge is 11.13%. That is much bigger than the 1% to 2% house edge on most online crypto casinos. The only difference with sports betting is you cannot purely rely on luck. You can study and assess the players and their past performances. The only games that aren't dependent on luck on casino games are poker and other games that you can play against other players.

I mentioned "online crypto-based casino" because land based casino have higher house edge, probably 10% to 20%. The same with online fiat-based casinos where house edge are probably the same with land-based casinos.

My friend you cannot expect to have regular income on gambling. It is a game of chance, luck and some needed analysis. You better gamble responsibly just for fun and do not have high expectations to profit.

i love sports but i dont like gambling on sports but i also like esports as well as esports games  . im looking forward to bet one than betting on real sport games.   people win because they are familiar with the teams but im sure they do also loose.

  i dont believe that sportsbetting dont have an house edge  because if not then how would they earn ?  and why still people loose ?  profitability will depend from one gambler to another depending on his skill or luck and blance

Bet to the sports that you have been following. Meaning that you have invested time to it looking for the updates, news and almost everything to it so that whenever there's a match for that sport, you know what are the good and bad teams.

This will increase the chance of winning although you can also bet without knowledge but I don't recommend it.

There's no difference between the two.

In the field of sports, of course there is very much that we can make gambling. I'm happy with "Soccer" sports gambling, what I do to win. Of course from the facts in the field, of course in football you cannot take on a weak team. Unless a strong team plays a few goals, of course it's still possible. So, luck can not be a thing that we must want to get.

That's not considered as house edge since you bet at that odds and not 2.0 odds. Meaning that you agree to bet at that certain return which is due to the current condition of the game itself. There is no such thing as 50/50 in sports betting since there is a lot of factors to be considered to determine if the two opposite player/team is on the same level. House edge is the deduction on the actual winnings of the user. The bookmaker can't determine who's really in advantage at that particular match so they arrive at that odds. They can't set 2.0 on both odd since it will not profitable for them. This is only happening at the beginning of the match but will adjust when the game goes on.

For example. If you bet 1BTC to a 2.0 odds then you get only 1.9BTC in return then that can be considered as house edge.

In sports betting, there is no other factor but analysis. You look at the opposing teams, each of the team's players, their previous records and plays, their chemistry, whether one team is perfect in their play to stop the other, or the game of the other is like focused on the weakness of another, and so forth. You may also consider the roster, whether the team's line up is complete, or if someone is injured. You need to consider also the home court advantage. Or whether a team has already made a streak that they are more likely to win due to their very high morale. All these may be factors. And it is always hard to predict based on these, coupled with the odds provided by the sportsbook. That is why some predictions are given for a price. Because they are based on complicated analyses.

You may not call it house edge because it is sports betting, in contrast to dice and other random gambling games based on luck. But the betting site has always an advantage. It is actually somehow similar to a house edge. In a betting site, the winner does not matter at all because in every loss the site makes a profit. They take this from the spread in the odds.

Love for sports should not be the direct reason for betting though. Emotions tend to make our decisions biased and that makes wrong decisions.

First you should know the basic terminology thats sports betting sites use and then choose those games that you are confident about. Meaning those games that you know how its played and not those ones you are playing for the first time. Next do analysis on teams that you know of or of a league that you follow, this will vary with the type of game. Then predict the next match also taking into consideration the other factors in the match like weather, injuries and probable fixing.

Hose edge and hard to win are not the same thing. Sports is good for those who are knowing the game and have been doing it. For fresh entrants it can be tough, but it needs a lot of dedication and hardwork just like spot trading.

If you bet 1 btc on a 2.0 odds then you get 2 btc in return as what the odds say, not 1.9 btc. If there is a 2.0 odds then it means the other side is below 2.0, it is where the house edge is deducted.



That is why in that snooker game both are at 1.887 odds because giving both guys a 2.0 gives no profit for the house. That is synonymous with 11.3% as the house edge. Sports betting sites don't mention house edge but it is there as an open secret. The profit you mentioned needed by the sports betting sites is the house edge mentioned in the crypto casino betting sites. 


 

I believe your chance in winning in sports betting is higher compared to gambling which all depends on luck, because in sports betting you can use your general knowledge in sports, the team, how the team plays together, strategy, and a lot of factors to be able to weigh which team has higher chance of winning. What makes it difficult is that, you will never know what the outcome of the sport will be, there are instances that even a top team gets defeated by an underdog team. That is one of the reasons why sports betting is intersting and fun at the same time, that is if you are a big fan of sports.

Yes thats right! You can win depending on your research about the teams/personalities that you are betting with. If you know more about the player/team you can possibly predict they can win. Even underdog can win a game that can make people upset and for the gamblers, it can make the gamblers who bet on a higher odds would be disappointed expecting their team to win. With the right research and analyzation, you can boost your odds of winning on sports games.

Because they had a service fee. When you wager for example $100 and if you will win you have a profit of $90. So, the $10 is their revenue.
But you will lose the entire $100 will consider of course as a loss. I would say 75% skills and 25% based on luck, I guess that's sports betting work and it should be the long term is based on skill, it requires more skill than luck like live poker. While on other the hand, in the short term, luck will be a much larger factor.

If you are basing on pure luck will bring you nothing but a loss and disappointment. Digging more analysis and research the team and their previous records will increase your chances of winning. Together with hard work and great discipline are required to profit in sports betting.

That's wrong, most gambling sites offers a lot of odds, there are odds like 2.00 and over, so if you will keep choosing that odds, you will always get 100% or more from the amount you bet. That's what we called juice or commission in sports betting, but like I've stated, you can always do away with that.

I would like to demonstrate an example.

check this odds,
https://imgbbb.com/images/2019/10/11/sportsbet.png


you can bet on brooklyn nets for 3.5 to get the odds of 2.05 and if you go on the other side, you can bet on the Lakers at -5.5 and you will get an odds of 2.05.

When you play sports betting, make sure you are in a game that you like or are aware of. Most of us are only tempted by profit of the game but do not understand the game. Sports betting is not a bet based on luck, but based on knowledge and analysis. So, here your analysis and knowledge is needed, if you do not have knowledge about the game better don't bet.


Well, the point is we have to understand the team in sports betting. I myself usually only dare to bet if the team that I understand plays, besides that I don't dare because it is very risky. And hardest part when betting is against the majority, where our predictions say differently to the majority of people.

Hard to win since it's still a "gambling" after all.

However, there are some factors that might increase your winning chance rate.

-Betting Experience
-Knowledge on the specific game
-Playing with the odds
-Using the previous games as a reference
-Staying safe and not taking risks for higher odds (like me lol)

Knowledge really plays big role here, as for me, since you will know the team's ability. It's not an assurance though that those gamblers with knowledge on that specific games will win most of the times but it's far way better to have that rather than just putting random bets or following tipsters.

Betting on the underdog or going for odds above 2.00 doesn't take away the fee/juice though you're still paying a part of it.

Using a margin calculator (https://www.pinnacle.com/en/betting-resources/betting-tools/margin-calculator) it shows that sportsbet nearly have a 5% margin. The true odds without the juice would be 2.15~(for 2.05) and 1.86~(for 1.78)

The first thing you have to learn is, betting on sports that you understand for example soccers, tennis or basketball.

When making a bet read the situation of the team or person you will choose whether in good condition and whether it is indeed a favorite to win.

Look for the history of their meeting, for example, the number of times team A and B have met and how the statistics.

Gambling still gambling means that there is still an element of luck and often this is what makes your bet not in accordance with reality, but sports betting is still more predictable.

Forget about the juice, it could varies from sportsbook to sportsbook but if you keep betting odds below 2.00, you need to increase your winning rate to make yourself profitable in the long run, and of course with proper bankroll management.

Choosing odds 2.00 and over, you just need to win at least 51% and you will be profitable, but if you go lower, like take odds 1.70 and below, you need to maintain more than 51% winning rate, I can't compute but it needs to be higher and its a tough job.

The only two ways that you can be profitable in the long run with sports betting would be:

a) arbitrage betting, i.e. taking advantage of the differences in odds across platforms due to promo odds and/or information assymetry
b) having some sort of professional tipster which has a legitimate model that they go off of with a proven track record. Even if these boxes are ticked, this is highly risky.

If you're just an amateur with no experience, and betting on random moneyline - forget about it. Think of it as entertainment.

Arbitrage betting can also only be done on small volume bets. Anything larger you'll find it difficult to orchestrate. I think the opportunity cost of either of these strategies to make money off sports betting is simply not worth it. You might as well have some fun with sportsbetting instead, and focus on some other venture for profit.

It depends on the type of sport you are betting on.
But on a general note, which ever sport you choose to bet on, you should be conversant with it and be up-to-date. From there, you can easily make prediction on where to place your money.

Though some people look up to paid agencies for prediction, if you want to follow this means, be sure that they have history in winnings before subscribing to them.

IMO,sport betting is much easier to win compared to other form of gambling.

What we can do most is bet on the most strong team and for this we need quite a lot to know about the game we bet.

Sometimes go against the majority is also strategy to be followed for some games.

Betting on sports does not have an house edge but I think the reason you are not winning is because you are betting on the wrong team. Sports betting is also gambling but what made it a little better from other gambling games is that you can monitor the teams performance and progress and if you will review there statistics then it will give you and idea which team has an edge over another. I know most bettors mostly bet on their favorite teams regardless of the performance or stats, so I guess that’s what made it difficult for some to win even in sports betting.

even when there are tips and comparing both teams/players which are betting with the skills the athletes has, this is still a gamble and probable outcome. different sports has different probability. in MMA which i have tried several times betting for the topdog, i kept losing also because the underdog sometimes win the fight. i guess you gotta to be good at following athletes skills and health. analysis of both fighters and their records shows strengths and weakness but perhaps stroke of luck the underdog won.  if this is going to happen regularly, its not profitable for me.

Well, good point here mate but it also depends on the sports because there are some who bet on teams that has good performance but sometimes underdog wins. There are those times that the team you least expect to win will win. For me, it’s good to study the performance of the teams but sometimes luck is also a factor, sports betting is still considered gambling which meaning that you need both luck and history to win.

Nothing easy in the gambling either in the sports betting or any kind of gambling, I suggest play gambling to enjoy it not as source of income and use your extra money to avoid misserable life because in the gambling luck is the best key to win.

Very few matches can be predicted perfectly, because the odds will be having huge difference between the two teams. However we try hard to collect data, and select the odds it won't be a win. This is the reality with sports betting and other forms of gambling. To be profitable with sports betting it is good to go with the low odds suggested by the gambling website.

With sports betting, I prefer live betting because the match scenario changes every minute. According to the situation we can place the bet selecting the odds. This will increase the chance of winning than just placing the bets before the game begins.

The best part from sport betting which is i liked to bets for this game is you can compare teams performance, strenght of teams and quality of players so at least you can predict who will win into money line option although sometimes the odds for particular teams will be so low caused they're the favourite to won the match but back again this is gambling when lucky involved and required to won the game

Sportsbetting was hard to win if you don't haven't able to learn from a sports team that you're choosing to bet. Winning to this kind of sports gambling doesn't need successful people in order to play successfully, but first and foremost having fun with this betting site is a good place to have. Before giving a commitment to this gambling, learn something unique and efficient before making another try because there are no easy ways of winning even though it wasn't having a house edge.

its difficult because gambling is gambling mate. wherein theres no kind of technique that can help you in order to win  . What i mean no matter what types of a gambling site it is ,,theres no way that there are some site that will give you a chance to win easily because it takes alot of efforts  to be honest .. And you can get big profits on it easily in my opinion unless if you are lucky enough.

To be profitable in sports betting, you have to win the bets you stake on. There is no inside secret to go about winning your bets. Some believe it's a product of luck, others think it's analysis. I am of the opinion that it is a combination of both.

It's true that for you to be able to win in a sports bet you should win the bets you stake on, that is why you should be good in picking teams or players for you to win. I think it is not that hard to win a sports bet, but i think the reason why people lose in a sports bet because they didn't make any analysis on two teams of the game on which team has a winning advantage and which does not, and sometimes the opponent team might experience an unexpected win that nakes them luck to win the certain game.

Those people who offers paid service sometimes also provide some weeks or months of free subscriptions, you can enroll with it and try if how accurate they are from giving high chances service. Having another options while using your own understanding of the game will bring much higher chance of winning your bets.

Always think before doing anything, it's important that you have knowledge from any types of sports game to make sure that you understand risk and
chances that you have when placing your bets.

Because despite the fact that you are still betting on it using your money, you can't really say that you will be able to win since it has a risk and having a risk means that you are gambling.

Yes sir its true that its hard to win on betting. I think you need some luck for you to win. All gambling and betting are need luck if person have no luck expect thag he never win. But person have luck in one betting he gonna win.

In sport betting especially soccer bets as a good analyst and pundit a player can make consistent profits by studying and analyzing some sure games while accumulating the odds to give a higher profits, of course there are sure games especially when a big team is playing against a minor club the chances of winning the game is bright however the odd might be small thus to make enough profit accumulating those little odds adds up to more reasonable profits.

In these kind of games you are not going to make much as winning rewards,so the game should be unpredictable for the adrenaline bump and also the huge rewards to be obtained. :D

I agree with some things you said, I am also new to this world of sports betting (I haven't made any bets yet, I'm studying everything to get a little knowledge before entering this world of sports betting)... but where you recommend that OP just use it for fun, I think if he tries hard and learns a lot, may be one day he can be a betting experts, as you said:


This means that there are "betting experts" and If they are experts I imagine that they can live of bet. And as we all know, anyone can be an expert as long as they study hard

No house edge but luck is important, sometimes big teams can also be defeated by dark horses, like when City loses to wolves, so in sportsbetting you can't be guarantee you will always win, even if you choose a strong team. How to win in sports betting is not to choose the strongest team but the most ready to compete. You have to analyze the formation and the players who will play before the match, that's what you have to look at and analyze before choose to bet.

Well, you are wrong. Not all forms of gambling the majority are based on luck, just like playing poker and sports betting. Usually, they are based on skills that you need to analyze well and deep research. Betting has only two options of which team you are, I guess if you are in underdog odds probably a low chance of winning. Indeed, being profitable in sports betting know very well which team you place a bet.

I think the answer is bankroll management. Most of gamblers always bet 20-50% or even 100% of his bankroll in 1 bet and once you lose you can't recover or bet again. I follow some good tipster and he only bet 0.1%-2% of his bankroll and consistent with the betting, don't rage bet when you in lose streak.

First and foremost: you gotta learn the rules of the sport. You don't necessarily need to play it in order to know it well; just knowing how it is played and who plays it well and accordingly would help you get the much needed knowledge you have to have in order to post your first wins. H2H of the best teams too would give you a rough idea on how they play, and then compare your predictions to other established tipsters then draw a line from there. It's really not that hard to win much on sports betting. You just have to know the game, how it's played, and the teams and how they play.

One rule: Stick on the sports you are into or you are knowledgeable because with this you can really increase your winning chance if you do know on whats going on compared on betting into any random sports that you arent aware or known because you would just basically lost those bets for sure.If you are following others tips then it might do but these bettings wont really be that kind of entertaining because you dont know the game and the thrill you do seek on gambling wont be felt but its your choice if you do really look for making money.

It isn't just like any other gambling .
Sports betting need some time and effort,
You need to analyze the team and the other team that they are against .
We couldn't just bet on team just because it is our favorite team we need to know each players information and put it all together to have a higher chance of winning.
It is just basically like this would you ratherbet on a team of newbie's with no profesional background vs a team of veterans with a great synergy on every player just because the prize is way more higher?

Sport betting is never assured of making profit however I have been playing sport betting since 2005 and what I have gotten from experience is that gamble wisely I don't believe in going for high odds anymore although it favours some people but I prefer to play safe

Playing gambling will never assure you any profits, The outcome of your gambling will depends on the way you do it. On sport betting doing a research and trusting the team you are betting with is a trust, Being a bandwaggon on the team that you are betting with can lead you to a loss, I see that you are an experienced better and you'll possibly know the risk of not paying attention to the side that you are betting. Betting for many years will make you into an advantage. The lesson you learned and the uncalled circumstances can make you feel it nostalgic.

Sport betting is for those who are really expert of games and who can predict things well. If we look at famous sports like football and cricket, things get changed in last minutes and the bets have to be made before game begins. I am of view that sports bets are totally bets on luck. Often the strongest teams are found losing to weak teams.

To be more successful in sports betting, you don't have to be greedy,  don't go for big odds such as 300+ odds or more,  you can analyze critically 3-5 odds and stake big,  in this way I believe that the amount of games that will be won will be far more than games that will be lose

Interestingly enough, but in this context there is no such thing as "SAFE" or Small or Large profits, because most gambling itself is just a fortune for us. although for example in sports betting that you choose is also a club whose category is also the top not a guarantee that it will win right ?. But maybe between sports gambling and poker will be easier for most people to do the analysis the ones who benefit more are still the bookies  ;D

I stop doing sport bets and since then I have more funds in wallet, but I have read there are bettors who are making living of it, they are arbitrage bettors and they search for games with positive expected values, yes, sport betting has house edge, information in topic is not accurate.

but betting on sports bet before , have emptied your wallet ? didnt you made any profits back then ? maybe something is not right  . your only lacking of research but you shouldnt give up easily because i know that you can be sucesfuly on this genre  .  like me i was about to retire on sports betting before but i said to my self that i wont give up so here i am . i am now doing better on this area    .  i do also play other genre of gambling along with sports betting

You can't force someone to gamble and play sportsbetting if he don't want to do it anymore. It's not about giving up but he probably made up his mind and started to look for other interesting things that he might do.

Yes, there are sportsbettors that were making a living out of it but many also fail. The information that op has given isn't that it's not accurate at all, he's trying to ask though.

The math are always at the side of the house, it's a business
But it helps if you have a DEEP knowledge on the sport you are betting, not a standard, but a real good that you can win most of the times
You should focus only on bets you are familiar with and don't use your emotions to bet

I don't think sports betting is a good thing especially with combined games every day I lose even in 1.1 odd games but i think if you bet huge amount with EZ games it will be profitable anyway  just don't use more than 2-3 combined games

gambling site will not install a game or  betting if they do not have a house edge, of course, there is even if it's small amount they will have a house edge this what them keeps running, they are a profit-driven site and they need funds to run the site, dedicated sever lone cost hundreds of dollars.

You've got a point but luck should never be lost in the factors you need to consider. Even sports betting requires luck, not a luck for bettors like us but most especially for the team ot player himself. I am sure you wouldn't choose to bet on a team with a losing streak compare to a team with no loss, right? ;D. Also, it was a big factor to look when you are in situations in which you can't decide where to bet. For example, the match is between Adesanya and Whittaker (assuming their fight nor yet happened). They are both good and skillful fighters thus they almost got the same chances of winning so the last option you might have is to bet on what your gut feel says.

Back when I was active better on Tennis. I used to have a courtside partner that sat there and gave me all the information of the game before the umpire could enter it into the system. There was quite a delay in those days.
It cannot work any more because there are so much security and cameras these days. If you diligently do research, you might be able to find something. This is also not cheating or illegal.

Because you can't predict the result and sport betting also can be manipulated.

Big or small odds has nothing to do with be more successful in sport betting. If you are sure you can win all parlays games with big odds, why you shouldn't do it? My friend ever won 1000 odds @0.001 btc in sports betting (at Directbe, when they were still open) and walked out with 1 btc profit

I think analyze really  affect on this, but in other side rely on luck too. Well, it is strategy gambling that actually allow you to analyze both of team/person who play in the match. But in game, anything can be happen. Sometime side that under estimated can win or anything like that. Or maybe small percentage of match being fixed.

Lmao, so technology has proved to be bad for gamblers I see xD I remember when cricket was full of corrption and some very old footages show that how umpires cheat in open field and eyes. Many say back in those days, corruption was less, which I find a myth.

What is done to win is an analysis and luck, indeed not all will give good results even though you have done an in-depth analysis in this case, because the luck factor is a determinant of success in betting. In betting there is an ultimate goal about big or low wins, from both of them I feel if we only look for low wins then it still looks easy without expecting a luck, but if we expect a big win then at least we will expect luck even though in-depth analysis has been done, there are many other factors in sports gambling that in my opinion can be obtained from experience.

If you really love a certain sport, it would be easy for you to understand things about the said sport. How most players would play, teams that are most likely to win and such. Let's say you've been a fan of basketball ever since, then you would ways watch games. It's easy for you to know what team is stronger. So if you would make a bet, you know who's most likely to win.
It's just a matter of knowledge about the sports and the players. Unlike other gambling who need luck, sports betting is more of analysis based on their history of performance.

Are you sure? How often you have made low wins? I mean if we are able to earn something which is even low in value, we may repeat the same process and add-up those small wins into a big one. I guess you are talking about winning small per game which is possible only once per game hence we may need to wait for another game to happen which may take some days or even a week.

Experience must be a good teacher everywhere, I agree. But, personal interest and being a fan for one particular sport will help you to learn and to become an expert with all rules and tactics of that sport. This will lead to analyze the capability of individual sportsman and their team so that predicting their performance may become easier for any gambler.

It's different in sports betting because there are odds in every line and there's a lot of line available that will confuse a person who is knew to sports gambling. Even if you always monitor the sports you love, it does not guarantee that you have a chance to win most of the time, this is a skilled based gambling that you will have to learn over time.

Most of the popular bet are the point spread.
if we have our favorite team like the warriors and we know they will win but they have a line of -10, that line would sometimes puzzle our mind that what if the opposing team covers and we lose.

Probably yes, me as a gamer, I can easily predict those who'll win in any tournament in eSports. The fact that I always watch the gameplay of every team, It will be my basis to have a good prediction and it can win me. It's easy for those who can analyze the gameplay and you can win it.

Yes, it's a matter of knowledge when it comes to betting, you need the information to make a good bet.

I'm betting also in CSGO and DOTA2 and some of it already won me money.

For professional sports gamblers, sport betting is like trading I think because of good analysis and correct predictions which are possible in sports betting unlike normal pure gambling that involves only luck! However even at the end there's always a possibility of twist. I guess the only difference between trading and sports betting is in trading if your prediction is wrong, you have the chance to rectify, but in sports betting, you lose all the funds!

I agree that having a higher winrate is difficult to pull since the average odds of your bets is 1.7 but choosing lines with odds above 2.00 and at the same time maintaining a 51% win rate isn't much different because usually these are underdogs. I myself take bets above 2.00 but only on certain markets like 1x2 and european handicaps.


Some sportsbook have a feature like cash out and similar to trading this prevents you from losing all of the amount you risked on a certain match.

If you want to be successful in betting in sports, you should know the following:
- Knowing your sports is a must. Not playing the sports is fine but you need to follow where you in line with. If you are good in examining basketball stats, then go with bastketball. If you know players in other leagues or sports that you're confident in betting with, that's good.
- Knowing the sportsbook for your sports. Connected to the first one but of course, to know your sports is to know where you'll go betting.
- Knowing the odds. You should know and check the following odds on your bets. There are bets that says under 105 or over 105. It's a little bit complicated also in sports betting. So know the odds.

Luck alone will not give you the key to win it should be accompanied with strategy and statistics. By having these important information you are definitely on the right path of winning but your only problem is if you bet on the handicapped betting which means you cannot predict nor say what would be the outcome since it all depends on the players strategy and skills.

Bet on the winning teams and you can have a good profit on sports betting. You just need to do a research about that and place your bet only if the team is good at all though of course there’s still a risk and this is not guaranteed at all. Sportsbetting are the easiest play to game, just give more time to analyze before playing.

I find results to be alot more variable then that but it should be possible to have a positive influence on possible wins with some personal knowledge.  It takes alot to beat the house advantage and simple unlucky results and come out with a win.   I very often just take the underdog bet in situations where the less popular team is less well known, new but improving and talented and improving tactics with excellent skill in the game.
   Underdog still has far less chance to win but the odds are very often stacked to the big names so the better 'value' is with the less popular team, simple tip just take the team that has a chance at least and value will equate to a profit overall in regular betting quite possibly.

Sports betting is also gambling. Unlike casino games your lose rate varies on how you play and your win rate is also the same as your lose rate and it will change base on your luck. Meanwhile, sports betting is different because your chance of winning is 50% and losing rate is also 50% if it is in boxing and win/lose rate may varies if there are many choices.

Data analysis can help you but there is no certainties that it can give you profit 100% but it helped me win consecutive times. I only gamble on basketball and sometimes in MMA. Sometimes I do a bit of research of the teams/players and it helped me. Although there are times that I win, there are times that I lose some for some reasons.

Aside from data analysis/statistics, you must have luck on your side to win :D.

About sports betting, i think people aim for big odds, or maybe make it parlay to make their reward bigger or maximized. Safe bet with little odds sometime not worth with fees that they must take. That is why although we can analyze in sportsbetting, sometime it is hard to win.

I think it is still hard to win because the house edge here is replaced in many cases by the referee.They say that even if you have Messi,Ronaldo and Neymar in the same imaginary team you can’t win if the referee decide to not win,what this mean is that the referee can impact the game a lot.Beside this players losing sure goals occasions is another thing which can make you losing your bet.

While it is true that you know which team or player is probably winning and which one is probably going to lose, it is not the point. The betting site is also 100% aware of that. Hence the varying odds. In sport betting, it is one thing to know which will win and which will lose and quite another to actually win.

Since you've been betting on DOTA 2, we will use a match between Team Secret vs. Team Mineski as an example. We know that Team Secret is probably winning. Both teams' playing quality, records, points, etc are saying that Team Secret is going to win. We may say betting on Team Secret is an easy money since we have a complete set of statistics that point to the team as the sure winner, however the odds will make everything confusing. Team Secret's odds may be around 1.02 and Team Mineski's is 4.5. Will you bet on Team Secret when your $1,000 will only give you $20 winning prize?

I probably wouldn't. I would go for a handicap bet for a better odds. And everything becomes more confusing from there.  ;D

Here's another tip, go gamble in sports that you KNOW.
Never ever to gamble in sports that you know, it's just like investing and once said by Warren Buffet, "Never invest in something that you don't know".
Well, it's should also work in gambling. Any form of gambling, not only in sports gambling. And also the odds when you are gambling, difficult to decide when you can see the odds.

In my experience, sports betting is far better when compared to gambling in games like dice etc since your research and knowledge actually help. It is possible to profit regularly through sports betting and I have seen many people do it.

There are many ways to accomplish this op. My favorite way is arbitrage betting and accumulator betting. These are risky methods, but I have had a lot of success with these methods. I usually bet on moneyline and handicap bets using these methods.

Its not going to be difficult when youre a regular spectator/fan to a certain sport (NBA,NFL, Premiere league, and etc.) . With a few reviews from the past match-up, roster, and team stats will give you the closer outcome and If lucky enough you'll get away with a win.

And of course, in sports betting you need to choose the best odd for the match-up you've placed a bet. Placing too much handicap from the underdog may risk your bet.

There are different ways to bet on sports betting and it's not just about who will win the game or sports. Sometimes you have to analyze the score of each game. So I would say it's all about analysis and no house edge on sports betting.

Sports betting totally depends on the luck, You can't imagine what will happen on the pitch, so you can never expect as what you want, from my experience, I have seen a lot of incidents that a poor team and a poor player played well and change the game so how could be there any short cut way? I don't think so, I think it's like Casino, Nobody knows what is coming to you, but in some cases, you can predict about a team's result based on recent performance, in Football it's easy to make a prediction but it's not easy to make predictions about the score, So Sport gambling could be profitable if you are lucky enough and have a guts to bet on. it's a matter of brave and bold nothing else.

Indeed it's true that people sometimes bets for high odds because they want more challenge and bets on low odds indeed it's only will wasting our time because the profit also low and usually to increase the odds then i combine several match into a parlay and it is working well because the odds increase properly but do not forget too parlay is risky than single bet because if one of the match which is you chosen lost then you will get nothing

What, sportsbetting is not always about big odds lol. Most of sports bettors usually aim for 2x odds, betting on big odds is usually betting on underdogs or in parlay and mostly it's hard to hit, that's why the odds is big like more than 5x or even more.

Betting on sports is much better than other gambling. Your sports knowledge is useful here. If the person who bet on sports has a good idea about sports then the chance of winning is high. Many have seen this  succeed on betting  by sports knowledge. Then betting means risk. Everyone know that.

Just to get things straight, there can be no guaranteed way in order to be profitable when you are dealing with the nature of gambling. As from the very word itself, 'gambling' revolves around luck and the odds. Although there may be ways of reducing the risks associated, there can still be no accurate way of being consistently profitable when you are dealing with luck.

With that being said, sports betting may depend on what kind of sport you are dealing with but it is highly advised that you bet on the sport that you are familiar with the team and roster. You must also be updated with the news about their team so you could foresight which team would be the next powerhouse in the current season.

Yes yes, that is better.
What I wanted to say is for example you are really regular/fan of NBA,NFL, etc and jumping in some sports that you are not familiar with, like in some eSports or any ball sports. I know some people like that, like they want to explore something but they don't study first, I'm one of them hahaha, lol.

My also problem in odds is it's so difficult to decide, like you risk some of amount of your funds but the returns is not so much, something like that. So, it is tempting for me.

That is what i see from some of my friends, we know actually 2x odds maybe already enough, or safe enough to make bet. But there are some people who keep do parlay and then end with lose. They want big win from that bet.

For me, it depends on the person which they much prefer, as your perspective you much prefer betting on sports. I agree that if you are good and have more knowledge about supports, it's advantageous, especially betting to the player that you know he/she is the best ( skilled player). But sports betting is like gambling you bet to the player/ team that you want to support the only difference in gambling ( poker, dice, etc.)  is that your the one that's playing. But then again it depends on that person which he/she much prefers. :)

analysis is the key. If you wanna be successful on betting on sports event you should always watch the game. For example on the NBA, if you can asses and observe the game you can likely predict on the winning side the gamble is not that high risk probably you will bet on the big dog. You should know every data like the roosters and the condition of the roosters. Sometimes the injury is a factor just like on NBA last season where Golden state is in the upper hand. But their roosters where not healthy and they loose. There are many factor to consider be very observant that is what I can say.

Right, analysis and of course making the 'correct' bet, what I mean with that is you also need to look at the odds otherwise you won't enjoy much that of a winnings. And you also need to withdraw your winnings and just enjoy have fun and go on the next day and continue your streak. You don't need to push your luck for a given day, as per my experience. At the end of the day, if you have a good money already then quit and get your winnings.

Perhaps because of their type or strategy of betting. There are a lot of ways to place bet in sportsbetting and some of them are too risky to use thus players in most cases lose rather than winning. Another reason also is that sportsbetting is full of surpise. You can't tell or be sure that a certain team is going to win even though they seemed to be dominant than the opponent's strength.

That suppose to happen but the reality is not the same as our expectation.
I'll bet that majority of the sports bettors are losers and almost all of us who gambles in sports believes that we know the sport and we are confident that we can win, but that reality that majority loses simply says that sports betting is not an easy way of making money in gambling.

I gamble in sports and undeniably its my favorite and with years of experience I have proven you need to be smart enough to analyze game and be consistently if you want to be profitable.

And maybe Op don’t just have luck in gambling that’s why it’s harder for him to even win in sports betting when the truth is this gambling is one of the easiest and simplest because  there’s no house edge that isn’t burden to all gamblers and hindering to win
But for OP how many times have you play in sports Betting?hope it’s not 1-3x?to claim being lose everytime

But sportsbetting is way more better than playing casino games.Chances do differ depending on our knowledge and experience with the sport we are spotting into.
Its not really that easy because lots of circumstances where we are sure on the game to win but eventually the outcomes do oppose on what we do expect.
Luck do always matter but the risk can be slim out and increase winning chance if we do know on what we are doing.

I like sports betting, most of the money I spend is there. I usually make a parlay bet instead of making a single bet. Take a bet with odds below 2. Playing on sports betting is quite profitable as long as you understand each sporting event and observe some of their match histories then make predictions.

-Betting Experience
-Knowledge on the specific game
-Playing with the odds
-Using the previous games as a reference
-Staying safe and not taking risks for higher odds

100%

To be fair I had great winnings from betting on sport but I decided stop it (at first for a while but now I think almost forever) because I don't had any time to read sport news, now I don't even have any time to watch football (soccer) matches, especially matches of my loved one FC Barcelona and I miss Messi's great dribbling.
Personally I founds successful to bet after very deep analyse, team's current stats, previous games between these teams, which player misses and how this fact will affect each team, also where is game (At home as always team is much more motivated).
Also how rude players are from each team (yellow card bets) and etc.

There is certainly a degree of skill and due dilligence involved in sports betting in comparison with your usual casino games. You're actually betting on teams that you can evaluate by looking at statistics like H2H, rankings, players' availability, condition, mood, weather, etc.

Don't be so sure that the house doesn't have an edge in sports betting. Who are the ones that make the odds? Don't you think they make the odds in such way they have an edge? Of course they do. But there are betting odds exchanges like Betfair where you can actually trade the odds of an event. If you ask me I'd say that in order to be profitable in sports betting you need a well formed risk management and system to play. You can have a multitude of combinations as you know with parlays and all kind of bets.

Technically, luck is the most important factor in dealing with gambling and sports betting is another kind of gambling. The other factors that could help you to increase your probability of winning are to make an analysis for both teams and then compared them. Dig for their most recent play, popularity could also matter because they won't be that popular if they are not good and last, is after comparing go for the odds, choose the team who is on advantages.

Without dong your own analysis of teams playing a match, you can never ever put money on any team. Even if those who are trying to follow experts, also often lose money in bets and are seen going bankrupt of their savings. I am going to place money on the team which attracts me following my gut feelings and I often win money like that.

Corruption was there always and we all have to admit this. Right from the beginning of human race, corruption was done by them. If we talk about games particularly like cricket back then there were not any cameras with high quality thing and there was no concept of third umpire. This is why umpires were the gods of cricket.

I don't believe sport is 100% dependent on luck, the big winners of sports betting have mentioned times without number that it is a game of skills but because of sports fan base, a lot of soccer fans do not really have any understanding of what it's all about, they just begin and then start relying on luck which is absolutely wrong.

In my opinion to make sports betting a profitable game, we have to first of all admit that gambling is not a game of luck and that Is enough to push the players to learn the in debt of the game. Enough expertise is also needed to become successful.  The list of becoming a successful sports bet player is endless but the overall for me is learning all the strategies.

I don't see winning in sports betting as an act of pure luck because the best team will always win in term of sport and the knowledge of the gambler determine the outcome of his result. I think there's something OP is not doing right but I will advise him to only choose the sport he participated in or good at. An example I love playing football and tennis and I only gamble on the two sports.

The possible thing that can bring in profit to a gambler is: avoid greediness to stay safe for gambling. I was a good gambler until when I put in greediness, I lost all my winning to the gambling platform. This has been a lesson to me, I like when I win and go out with my wins and not the other way round. Also, go for a better odd where the chances of winning will be high.

Indeed this is not a public secret if control of yourself can not be done. because most people will not feel satisfied even though they have won a sizeable enough though. therefore there are limits or targets in gambling to be important for those of you who are addicted to gambling. You can determine any profit to be able to control the desire to gamble. although this is actually a difficult thing for gambling addicts

Before a gambler can flourish in every gambling aspect such gambler first needs to understand the rules of the game and how to gamble profitably which is going for the easiest game and don't be greedy. An example of the Shangai Masters final between D. Medvedev and A. Zverev which clearly show D. Medvedev will win the trophy due his performance in the US Open.

gambling is gambling.

ofcourse, dont be greedy! once you get profit. be contented!

take time to stop, luck is not always on your side. :)

but if you know you are someone who is just killing time and wants to try sports betting. You can try it here! www.bitbook.ag

I think that you are absolutely right on this mate. In addition, the easiest method which is for lazy gamblers but yet effective is to follow the opinion of majority concerning the matches, because sometimes, opinion could rally matters a lot even if it requires us making some verification first when it is necessary and convenient.

This strategy might not be 100% accurate but it is highly effective to a very good extent. I have had the opportunity of meeting some people who used this and have recorded good results in the past and in the present. A friend of mine isn't even a good gambler at all, but he has been able to achieve so much from gambling by using this method.

If you want to make a profit from sports betting then I will suggest you focus on one game. Suppose you like  Cricket match.  Then you need to see all of the match happen in real life. You need to know which player can play so well. Then try to bet with yourself. Finally, start gambling use your experience to make your winning chance higher.

Sports betting is easier than just dice because it atleast has some facts and figures which you can compare before forming a decision regarding buy or sell. Just go by the sheets a team which looks good on sheets really is the team which plays better on field. Cutting losses is also pretty important these things can make you profitable in gambling.

Most experienced gamblers knew about this strategy, you will enhance your chances to win when you are always looking for some edge according to your knowledge about the type of game that you'll going to use as venue of your gambling activities.

Becoming experienced gambler give you the luxuries to enjoy every game you take as percentage of winning is greater than inexperienced gamer.

You are likely referring this sports betting to trading or day trading since you mentioned of cutting loses, man, there's no such thing as cutting loses in sports betting. What is important here is you understand how to manage your bankroll and you are consistent in choosing the winning bets, its called winning bets as choosing a team is easy but in every game there's a lot of odds you can choose from.

cutting losses?maybe what he mean is atleast smaller amount of chances to lose than dice game.its about the comparison in betting in sports than in any form of gambling(i hope i am right in my analyze on what he really meant)
but for me its indeed because we have lower chance of losing here,because no edge that make sportsbetting more safer than  others(but of course this is still a gambling and risky)

I agree with you. It is often seen that most favorite teams lose easily. If any other favorite team loses, then the loss is huge. Your 2-3 match profit will be gone to losing that one match. Many times the tournament points causes the favorite team lost the match . We all know that some people are against majority! :P

Don't know what kind of mindset they do have on talking about sports betting doesn't have house edge? If they were no able to generate income

then they wouldn't exist here on the first place.Its just a common sense that both wouldn't really get the same odds in part of the selection.There would always
have that money line and least favorite.We can eventually calculate it.

Not even gambler professionals know this strategy. You just need a lot of knowledge about sports. The essence of the big possibility of a win is to know the conditions and the latest news about that sports, the player, the coach, and everything about the match he is going to gamble on. that knowledge that you can use to choose a choices in sports betting and will increase your chance of profit.

What makes you think that professional gamblers don't know this kind of strategy if what the above said was true? You are professional already if you make a living in gambling with your own sports betting strategy. Of course, it's better to master a single sport/game than playing/betting all of it.

The more you are exposed to the gambling sports the more you will know more about of the winning team with just a single glance the line up.

in sports betting there is no specific strategy to be able to get a win other than analyzing the team that we will choose to stake. there is no other way to do this than to observe the team that we will choose, therefore before deciding to take part in sports betting you should not choose a team that is not seeded because the risk of loss will be greater, but most people say to win Sports gambling is of course based on luck and I think that's true because every game that is passed is unpredictable

Very true. Sports betting is not  a rocket science.
You only need full knowledge of the sports and if you are a loyal fan of that sports running for years, you have a good advantage in this game.
Hearing someone else's piece of advice or tips is really not very helpful on this betting game.
I prefer to know the sport before betting on them, in that way, I won't feel cheated by anybody else.

I think if you really are a fan of the sport, you will never have a hard time betting on these teams. When it comes to those all-rounder gamblers, I guess they do not do it by themselves, they might have some help or tips from the bookmakers.

This not about being a fan because everyone of us is a fan of the sports we are betting, what is needed to do here is to win in games that we are betting.
Actually I agree with choosing one game from the many games available on the board, at least with one game, you'll be able to put time to focus in analyzing the game, and hence it would improve your chances of winning.

Because it is still based on our luck, once you become greedy then it is dangerous already. Being greedy will make our gambling experience worst once you've won once for sure you will want MORE, because I know that feeling, so it is better to be contented on what we have won that day then stop for a while. Better coming back next time to try again your luck.

Usually in sports people make bets when the club they understand or follow the statistics of the match will be bet. Same thing when I see my favorite soccer club playing, I will install the bet. chances are high enough to win if we look at the statistics of the match or league . but it's not uncommon to lose but I'm satisfied with every game that is seen

I am more interested in football matches to stake, and before the game starts I try to look for statistical information and scores when both teams play and see the players who will be deployed to be able to predict my choice.
I prefer to bet on scores in soccer matches and there is always a chance of winning when choosing a team and its score.

Most of the time, I focus on one game only to gamble which is Basketball and it is the same result (loss) :D. I often used statistical data as my basis into which team will I bet but still, I loss my initial capital.

Those who gamble in different games and winning are the ones who are more experienced in gambling already and they are lucky but still, they experience losses too :D.

I don't think that there is a specific way to be profitable in sports betting. Being lucky enough is the best thing we can have in every aspect of gambling games but of course, we also must play those games that we already familiarize, if we really want to win.
Exploring new games are also good but if profit is your reason why you are playing then better gamble on what game you familiarize.

Betting could only be profitable if you know when to stop. You should set a limit since it isn't all about a profit but also a matter of luck. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, if it isn't your luck, you'll still end up losing. I guess you should set a target goal and stop when you have reached it. Greediness result in losses.

You must master the type of sport you want to bet on.
don't place bets for things you don't know.
the results will be different if, you only rely on luck you will never win.

Sports betting is kind of predictable so you need to increase your knowledge about the game you are going to bet to increase your chances of winning but the results May go in other way as well but you can win problem more in sports betting compared to other kind of betting.

In sports betting lot of manipulations happen find someone who can inform this manipulated then you can win but most of the time it will be just a rumour to make few bucks.

Every online betting gambling game, there is no same way to bet to win,
Certainly different ways for each individual to guess and put up a score.

Before you go any further in an online soccer betting match, the OP should pay attention to the things that can affect the win and vice versa can be lost in the online gambling ball fight.

For example:
You have to pay attention to a few things before betting, this can make your predictions far from fire, such as reliable players injured while playing, or banned in the match also causes bad weather can affect and other things.

Tips from me for you to place a gambling ball bet online.

1. You can go straight, try the trend of odds in determining your choice, for purchases to increase the up and down odds.
Better understood like, to know the direction of victory.

For example:
In the Chelsea vs Manchester United match, with a Manchester United +1 furan and an odds of 2.01, in the 30 minute match round.
furan will decrease HDP + 0.5 / 1 with the odds down to improve the kei increase.

For example:
But you can also use the system in online soccer battles.

As:
• You can do In Analyzing matches like Kicks, for example the team that has the most kick angles.
• You can make guesses (decisions).
By giving furan for example Argentina vs Francis each with a score of 0.5. Each opponent.
• You can do Analysis and Statistics
As an example:
If you look at matches like Argentina vs. Francis, each team has a goal statistic, which is equally likely to be more than 3 or 4 goals.

This is what I can give you, there are actually many other ways to win, I can't possibly explain it here.

For OP:
If the OP, already understood in the guide to install online soccer gambling, you need to remember is to be careful in taking action.
Be wary of using steps not to be careless in actions or decisions.
Good luck.

This is what must be done if you want to win sports betting. I often place balls, but I am not haphazardly betting. I have to see first from the team, news or players. This will greatly affect the match later.

You have mentioned some of the factors necessary to be profitable in sports betting, but there's more to that which is needed for you to become more stable and more consistent on your judgement. When you are into sports betting, you always look at a long term result, you might struggle from the start but you need to make sure at the end you will end up profit.

While you are betting, you will make mistakes but you will surely learn from it if you are really dedicated on what you are doing.
Proper bankroll management will help you to stay longer but in order for you to take it seriously, you need to build a decent bankroll.

The house gains whoever wins usually because the odds have enough space between them that there is a profit in the spread between each bet.   If the chances of each side winning are equal then I doubt it'll list 50% either side, it will have at least a small percentage for the house to win from each bet placed.   Thats the money received for listing and handling the settlement of the game so quite normal.

But at least in any bet can guarantee a win or profit without doing any analysis, and bet by choosing the lowest odds available, but in the end this way will not make you satisfied with the results even though you are able to get an easy win. So, what you do is indeed the main point before betting, but even so does not mean betting in sports becomes an easy bet because there are other factors that will influence when betting.

Actually sports and e-sports they are the one who I love the most and as what you've said I am betting on those two sports, in sports I like to watch and bet in NBA and when it comes to E-sports I've also liked to bet in the game called Dota2 during The Internationals. I am getting some successful bettings when I am studying the analytical statistics of both teams and what their strategies are, also I am doing background check before I bet on the team that I've wanted to win.

It will be so nice if you can share your winning strategy with the members of the forum because it is very rare to see gamblers who admit to winning. I am not so much into sports betting but I have always known that it is very profitable and easy to win like I have heard and sharing your experience may be a more motivational thing to me really in this area that I have not really picked much interest in.
 
My own favorite game is dice, I could give all the codes and strategy of winning if the topic was about this game but for spots, I have no idea but one thing I can talk about winning in gambling generally is patience and diligence is really necessary to really scale through in it.

You are free to make a thread and share your strategy on how to win in dice but honestly, I don't believe anyone can win consistently in dice due to the fact that dice has a house edge, I have been playing dice for many years already but I never take it seriously as I believe this game should be better treated for fun only.

obviously, researching the team first before deciding to bet will certainly be able to determine the outcome of the match later. if we randomly choose the team that will be at stake, the possibility of defeat will easily come to us. but if you carefully choose the right team to be seeded, then chances are that luck can be on our side

In reality it is hard to spend on dice for fun. When it comes to gambling it is all about money, you win you're happy, and you loss, you bet high amount to recover the loss. This is what happens with gambling. Not only with dice, with any form of gambling it is impossible to experience a consistent win. With sports betting winning chance is high when you're good to pick a right team after good research. With dice there is a 1% house edge with most of the dice sites. This means there is risk, but when you go for increased winning chance you can win, but that too isn't consistent.

sometimes i bet on popular teams but there are times that i didnt know that those teams already have a new players so i loose  . this is true that doing a research is a good preparation before the game start or before you bet but we cant deny that we are sometimes in a hurry so we just place our bet on what we think will win  . if we are lucky we can still win and if not then we loose   . 

I think something is missing and that is the aspect of luck which I think that you have not mentioned here, and I know that a whole lot of you in the forum really hate to hear this but that is actually the basis to which winning is guaranteed in gambling if you really make money in gambling.

I am not really so much against the idea of seeking knowledge actually, because that's to an extent a way to control loses but winning is dependent on luck alone, it’s better to pray for luck anytime that we want to gamble and in some cases, some people do luck check to be sure they are fit for the game before proceeding to play.

That is a lie, the only games that do not have a house edge are the games in which you are playing against other players, a classic example of this is poker and even in that game the house still takes a cut from each pot if you are playing for cash or they charge a fee if you are playing a tournament, but in all the games in which you are competing against the house they have an edge, but in sports betting sometimes casinos have to balance their books and offer better odds and this creates opportunities for smart bettors to take better odds than what it would be possible.

That's why just like I said if you want to increase your chances of winning, you should take time to do your research. Statistics plus luck will surely give you a bountiful profit. Luck is not enough to win especially in a sports betting game. And also playing with different types of sports will not going to help to win, just like you said, picking your type of sports to master in betting.

The easiest way to be profitable is to bet on sure winners. Sometimes there are people who are just too good for their opponents and you can see it like if you bet on Floyd Mayweather in all his 50 professional fights you'd win every time. Believe it or not there are people who bet on him once or twice and then kept habitually betting their profits every time he was fighting. Those people made a lot of money without breaking a sweat.

But how about the odds? If you say that there are "sure winners", the odds makers or the sport books, are also very much aware of it. Now the challenge that the bettor encounters is how to get the riskier part, or up to what level of risk does he need to take, in order to get the better odds. "Sure winners" will probably be given very low odds. Remember that sports betting sites always make it sure that both opponents have attractive odds that it always appear 50:50.

In other types of betting, when we no longer have the right elements to rely on, we are forced to rely on luck but for sports betting, luck is also a factor in this game, but more than that, we also have a few factors to optimize profits like you said, the analysis and statistics of past matches, increase the odds of success in predicting and turning this game into an analytical game, instead of pure luck. However, consider this as an investment to make more money for snacks and coffee, sometimes we will have money from it, do not imagine the further issues when going deeper into gambling, it will be more troublesome

Its hard for some people maybe like you but I tell, I can have fun with dice without any hard feelings if I lose.

I Know my chance that is why I don't focus a lot in dice, luck is our only friend but if we like to win consistently to be profitable, dice is not a good option for long term. I am not saying I always lose in dice, its just that with my long years of being a dice player, I learned that as long as there is a house edge, there's no way this type of game will give us a great future as a gambler, that's why I am recommending to just to do it for fun, meaning don't take it seriously.

It make sense. Because no house would actually held or contest a game without taking a small profit out of it. Else it will go bankrupt and the house will lose everything just to maintain the cost and website running.

Correct,its been said for how many times that we should not play on the amount that we cant afford to lose when we do play dice because it will just surely stress us out.

Profitability will only vary into those games that mostly relies with strategy like poker, sportsbetting and other similar games that in relation to this one.
If you do aim for entertainment then most casino games will give you that.

I think the strategies and tricks in playing sports betting are from your own knowledge of that sport. my friend is very good knowledge at soccer, he knows almost every player on each team, the strategies on that team, the formation habits played by a coach, and the latest information such as player injuries and many others. From that knowledge he can predict the end of the game very well, and the possibility of correct predictions will be very large if you have that knowledge dude.

Yes there is no house to bet against but it's still unpredictable when using only intuition. There are so many factors involved like the team and there are also some politics involved.

I know someone managed to make a killing on horse race betting using an algorithm but I don't know if someone has already applied that to competitive games like soccer.

What makes everything complicated in sports betting are the odds. Normally, you will bet between two teams or players. It should be as simple as choosing between yes or no, or true or false, but since the betting site will make it appear as if both opposing sides have the equal probability of winning, everything gets muddy. The thing that confuses me most of the time in sports betting is not really the teams or the players playing but the point spread, or the plus and minus the betting site assigns to them. 

Business exist for one reason only and that is profit. That makes sense too and it is fair. All of us want to make money. House do the same. As the saying goes all the glitters are not gold, similarly all the tempting games and offers we come across in this world are mostly just a way to take something away from us. It is all about money and one should not go careless when dealing with his assets.

If you're going to join sports betting to get better chances you need to know the team's background, their past performance you need to be updated on everything, whose team is good or much better. Like for an instance, we have NBA finals the team is Lakers VS Warriors for example and they are pretty even. The hometown is Lakers I'm going to bet on lakers I'm going to grab that little crowd advantage but in a game everything can happen or mess up it is still unpredictable.

In sport betting the should not be long term goals,just bet on the best team at the moment and the things will change even in the very next game so we have to adopt it.But for being a successful sport better the bankroll management is also must but we have to take the sport betting as serious job? No.

what you are talking are just the basic things you need to know.
Yeah, everyone should know the game they are betting and that includes knowing the team you choose and its opponent.

Actually since this is just basic, it's easy to do it, but the hardest part is when you are doing sports handicapping which is what usual sports gamblers are doing, if you are successful or consistent in winning, then you might have a chance.

Therefore, do not make any bets without more knowledge in the sport in question. Those who understand and have knowledge can sometimes lose the bet. How can a person win a bet without knowledge of sports, betting not to wish for luck.

In some point there's relevance in picking your pick once the games is between two heavy favorites, factors like court advantages can be
the basic to determine whether picking the odd is good enough for you to follow. But not as always, since there's also injuries and some'
affecting factors when a team stand in front of the court. You need to evaluate every possibilities before taking your pick.

When we gamble on a sport or play tickets, it is important to have an idea of the sport. the more we play, the more experience we get and the better and better we play. We follow the games and slowly guess, sometimes it seems like everything is set up, but sometimes it is exactly how we played. It is only important to play as much as possible until we have a sense of it.

For sure if you seriously want to bet in any game you will have to make strong knowledge for it and try to gamble only when you know the ending of the game properly. I have seen allot of expert gamblers who spend money and this happens most of the time in cricket as betting at the end could go luckily right and it makes real money for gamblers.

There are some odds in the sports betting and if you bet on the underdog you might get a huge amount of cash, it just depends on the odds of the betting, in my strategy, I join the majority of the people where will they bet, because you can guarantee that you will win, especially on boxing and basketball which is popular in my country I always bet on the strongest team or the strongest boxer, although the stakes are low you can still win some money.

You mean the betting right? No we don't have to bet initially when we are not having enough knowledge about it,first we have to watch and observe the games then we have to make analysis then only we have to start betting if we don't want to lose money to learn games.

Assurance is very important in gambling but never think that it can be at 100%. However, it is all about the strategies we applied and yet being one of those majority is another chance to win. If we are in betting in basketball, it is clearly to know whos gonna win especially when we tracked all the games and also the players. If we have that assurance, it is best to put a huge bet in order to make a big profit.

Well you're right but I dont often follow where majority of people bet.

Sometimes you dont need to go with the flow, its a must to have your own understanding and experience.

What I always did is to watch the previous game of the team to have an idea on which of them are likely to win.

That's exactly what we have to do, we need to carefully analyze the game before risking our money.
When it comes to sports betting and we are serious with it, we are also risking a decent amount of money which would affect us when we loss.
maybe if I will compare the money that I bet on sports to other type of games, I am more confident in risking my money in sports as I believe I have a higher chance of winning.

This works properly and this is part of the analysis that every sports bettor must do. Going with the crowd sometimes is also working but you don't have to be dependent with them as if they are the ones that will decide your bets.

Getting the news, reading updates and watching their latest games and changes will make you able determine on who has the highest chance to win.

Yups sometimes going against majority Is also effective because crowd is not winning everytime so make decisions that dictates by your instinct and not from other people
And it’s better if you really knew the teams and what’s their capacities so the advantages will always be yours because you can speculate the outcome of each games and may profit from what you have learnt specially when there are new players that has good skills ,it will effect the whole package of game

Specially for soccer related bet its really important to have update information about the best eleven otherwise its a 90 min game where slight mistakes can make bigger differences.Its common that many soccer lovers are die hard fan for CR7. if christiano isn't enough fit for the match due to injury then its quite clear that he will not play or maybe he will play less faster than his regular speed. So in this situation before placing bet on be half of this team can bring unexpected result. So every professional sports betting lover should be well notified about the team and injuries too. Yeah its true that every single team member have their value but sometime lack of one regular players performance whole team can suffer a lot.  

First and foremost it is not easy to predict a sporting event as you might see many upsets along the way and the favorites usually does not have good odds and if you are a football fan you can notice that the past one week we saw many upsets and if you are bold enough to pick the underdog then you could win but it is hard to pick which match will be an upset.

Strategy will only work if you are well aware of the sport you are betting and a die hard fan of the sport can get most of the predictions almost accurate.

The advantage in sports gambling is usually to choose a competition that we really understand and keep up with. like we gamble in a ball. we can be sure we are fans of football and gambling with the club analysis we have done. starting from match statistics and also players. all that is quite important in sports gambling

But that is easy to say now, but back then you had no way to know that Mayweather will win all of those fights so it was not a sure thing and it only seems so now with hindsight, a perfect example of this is the fight of Ruiz vs Joshua, Joshua was the sure winner and Ruiz was given incredible odds by many casinos in order to make bettors bet for him and when he won that fight not only it became a huge upset it also became a nightmare for casinos as some of them lost money on that fight.

Yes, if you want to be sure with your money bet only with those games that you are updated. You can bet with basketball games although you are good with other sports but that's a different story and the chance you have is lower. But if you are associated with the game you are betting, you are confident on the teams that you are putting your trust. Checking the stats is a good strategy to analyze the players/teams performance, you can be reckless is sportsbetting if you don't give importance to your money but if you care, follow the procedure and suggestion.

I prefer to bet on great teams and when they play at home, it looks easy to win, even though it has small odds, we can make a parlay.

Mostly at times when one team is better than other the odds may be low but still betting on this is much better as most likely you would make money out of it and also can check how much % of money you gained by investing an x amount in the bet.

In as much as we try to be optimistic, it’s important to add up efforts in becoming successful not just in sports betting alone but gambling generally. I do all this you have stated above always and I am always termed to be a desperate player but I have seen that most of the people who see me this way are nonchalant players whose idea of gambling us just to play games depending on luck and they end up blaming casino owners for their loses.

There is one saying I always take along with me whenever I am gambling, those who fail to plan, plan to fail, it’s that simple. To be successful in sports betting takes a lot of devotion, planning and dedication.

Well in my life I always take decisions on the basis of my own experience and my own skill, I never follow the crowd and whenever I do my own decision it always proves helpful and I get successful in that decision, in my opinion one must not go with the crowd he should have to decide what is right and what is wrong because sometimes the crowd might be wrong.

First of all, It would be really hard for you to win if you don't have any background on the sports that you want to bet. One of the best key for us to win in betting on sports we should have enough background on the team that are playing and also having a background check on the team will help you a lot to analyze on what or where team you will bet, and also for me there is some luck on the betting sides because luck gives us the impossible outcome of the game.

This will greatly works for occasional gamblers but for someone who keep betting on every game then should trust more the team than the home ground support.

That's easy to say but actually hard to do, why? because if that is easy everyone should make money in sports betting easily.
A lot of gamblers love sports betting over other types but most of the gamblers are still figuring out how to win and a loss is always costly to every gambler.

In other words, it is safer and much better to abstain completely from gambling.

If those with good knowledge suffer losses, definitely worse would be the fate of less knowledgeable gamblers. I believe if everyone had my share of experience with sports betting, how to succeed in gambling would no longer be a topic of discussion because by now, everyone would have known that winning in sports betting is totally impossible and there’s no strategy or shortcuts that can be used.

I am writing from experience, I did a lot of courses that gave me assurance that I would be successful but it was all a mirage and I have learnt from my experience even though I learnt the hard way.

My confidence is where I go! I'll check before taking any bet. And I'm not always right. A game that seems easy at times becomes a huge challenge later on. My favorite player and I know a lot about him, and still lose a lot. Your sports knowledge may reduce your loss. But a sure win doesn't mean anything. Gambling means risk.

And you can do it depending on your mood but most of the time, don't rely on their picks because once they've failed with their bet you're also affected with that and there's a tendency that you might look for someone to blame.

Almost every information that you need about them. That's what you've got to do so that you will be confident that when you have picked a team, you are not guessing because you have basis and you are totally aware of it.

in my opinion, it's easy to do, but not everyone likes to do it because the level of risk is quite high with a small profit. in this way indeed sometimes when we lose it will not be worth even with a few wins. but well if you see today's match at UCL, all the great teams win the game, and I can make a profit from it :)

I love cricket as sports and I do bet in big matches. I will say through my experience it is luck and skill that you need to win in sports betting. I did made some good wins while the cricket worldcup was going on and also lost few. I am not sure about house edge in sports betting but, how will they earn if it is not their?

It is easy, but in gambling it has also been revealed that there is a dealer who also plays in manipulations about matches. sometimes even though playing at home we also experienced a wrong prediction it actually experienced a pretty big loss too. so in my opinion in sports gambling it can be analyzed but sometimes it is also wrong. but sports gambling is fairer because we can see whether it's manipulation or not

They can still earn because most gamblers will choose an odds that is below 2.00 and this means any excess below 2.00 is a juice that the sportsbook will make from a losing bet. That is not a house edge actually, it's what you called a commission is simple terms because sportsbook are just only facilitating bets from gamblers who have access in their gambling sites.

One thing to try: focus on learning more about the sports where the betting limits are set very low. There is less time and effort spent by the sportsbook creating the betting lines for sports and props with a lower limit so there are more opportunities there. Instead of trying to beat the NFL and the NBA you can you can try to beat golf head to head matchups or second league soccer totals. You can become an expert on obscure events and form a more accurate viewpoint. You have more time than the sports book does to collect information about these events. You can focus on specific sports, individual match ups, and only bet on those, while the book must post odds and worry about taking action on every event.

I think soccer or basketball is a world-famous sport.
If you want to bet on sports then know what sport is first, then enter the club / team that competes first. So you can find out more about the condition of each team, then you can only bet on sports.

That's right, if we make a bet on sportsbet without knowing what we're betting, it means it's the same as playing dice, just hoping for luck. just placed bet and waiting.....lose.
Just as I like with the esport, then certainly I clearly know the team and how the players play when competing, from there I can analyze and place bets on sportsbet. 80% of my sportbet esport bets always win. because i know.
soccer and basketball i don't know, the result I often lose when trying to place a bet.

Soccer is the most famous sport in the world, basketball is only ranked number 7.

You should focus on the game that you think you are familiar so that will increase your chance of winning.
Actually focusing to one game only is advisable and even betting on limited number of games is one of the best formula to win and probably improve your skills as a sports bettor.

Reading your comment I remembered that I saw tips from some experts, as they consider themselves experts I decided to test, I bet on 8 different teams, and guess what was my result? all 8 teams lost and I lost money. As it was a test I was not very angry, but I was shocked by the result, I did not imagine that the guys who claim to be experts would have so bad results. I believe this served as a lesson for me. In the betting world one should rely on oneself when doing research about teams

Unlike slots or dicing, there could be plenty of chances for any gambler to be profitable in sports betting as it is completely skill based one so that you cannot continue your gambling even after a sport event is completed. It means you cannot drive yourself crazy unlike most other luck based on gambling. I mean to say you cannot be emotionally-failed-gambler in sports betting so that you can control what you are doing which is more than enough to end up your gambling in profit.

Being knowledgeable in one particular sport is more than enough to be profitable in sports betting. Anyone can be an expert in one particular sport when they are keenly following that sport. That's all.

Your knowledge in your favourite sport will definitely help you make better bets but that is not enough, you need to also know about how the casinos create their odds so you can know when you are being offered good odds and bad odds, that way you can use all of that knowledge to pick not only the best team to win but also the best odds, that way when you lose you only lose a small amount of money and when you win you can win as much money from your bets as you possibly can.

it only means they are not experts at all. i have the same mistake in the past for basketball, only did i realize that you will have to follow the teams in the league to really analyze who could possibly win the game. if one top player is not present in the match, a possible loss could happen. and i mean if Stephen Curry is not paying in the current game, don't bet. i turned to boxing and MMA for i only have to follow a fighter and his stat and health. an underdog could win sometimes but most of the time, its the top ones that will win.

Sports betting is one portfolio of betting where you can form few parameters to predict and judge your decisions on them. When it comes to such betting, picking on your sport and not getting your hands everywhere is one way to start. Follow your sports in the list, stay updated with news, articles and forums . Such practices would help you predict the game you are betting on, make a vice decision and be profitable. May the force be with you !

I agree, if you consider yourself a professional football fan, it would be foolish to bet on basketball, and not football. In this case, it’s easier for you to win at sports betting than at a casino.

The bold part is what most beginners in sportsbetting shall do. You can maintain yourself to be a nobody while betting in sports but if you want to get the best results of your bets, you need to determine on what sports you really love to watch and follow. And when you're in the right sports, you can easily make judgment from team to team and with upcoming games. Although no one is perfect with it and unexpected things shall come but in that way, you can increase your possibility to win.

Choose sports to bet in and dont just go for all. Pick sports which you can follow with passion and have family or friends following them too. Stay updated with all matches, transfers, follow news, articles and forums. Such practices will help you stay on top of your prediction, make vice decisions and maybe be profitable throughout.

I personally bet on cricket and basketball  as i follow them and play too. It is very important to pick sports which you follow and have passion. Picking all and every sport is not a good decision and might not lead you anywhere. Stay updated with following news , forums and articles. Having good pre and past matches knowledge would help you make vice decisions and make confident judgments.

Indeed, there are many parameters in sports that help us make certain assessments of the strength of teams in that sport, from the formation, health and strategy of the coaches to the performance of the players in previous matches, many forums and websites provide us with similar information, creating a higher chance of winning when betting. But the numbers of the past can never be completely assertive about the future, it only guarantees a certain part, so do not ask why winning in this type still has difficulties, sports gambling is like that

In short "its totally random" on every game that do happen.There are lots of factors to consider or to be watched out first before you can make your own decision or choice.

Profitability will vary on experience not talking on past results but on the knowledge and experience you had gain in the past.Its true that past cant totally influenced up the future results but you can get some points which would really be relevant into your current involvement on sports bet.

First learn the basics of the game also learn about the sports you are betting because if not then you're unsure where to place your bet and you dont have a little idea who's going to win and also suggest that to learn some simple techniques in betting by maybe reading articles or other advice of other pro's in betting.

Yes, that's true we should be happy for having a Command over making predictions about the games win or lose. To become an expert it’s important to have practice and always bet on a game that you are betting on.  In sports betting there is huge profit but as you said it’s really important to be an expert in betting always keep learning about different games.

I agree. There are many gamblers who gamble blindly on any sports where they see low odds. I think that just turns sports gambling into a sort of traditional gambling as it will be based on luck and not predictions. It's really necessary to analyse and predict the game in order to make good in sports betting.

Well sports betting is some form of gambling and even you have skills and knowledge in sportsbetting you still need a luck, if you feel luck is not in you better not bet to prevent lose of money, and how to be profitable in sports betting? Well if a person completely have skills, knowledge and great decision thinking and also luck well possibly you can have a huge amount of profit, but still i dont considere sports betting or betting as profitable.

And that is the main difficulty of becoming a successful sports bettor, if you really want to have a chance to become a professional gambler then you have no other option but to watch all the games that you can, and as we know that takes a very long time and only the most dedicated gamblers will invest so much time into that activity, the rest of the gamblers will watch a game or two and nothing more and then they will complain about their bad results.

I don't think you need to do that at all. The internet has all the stats and info you'll need to know to determine which team is bigger chances of winning and which team is the underdog. Of course you'll be more flexible if you know the sport by heart, but anyone can have the same info as someone who does with just a few minute research. The more you try to do that, the more you'll eventually know about the sport you're betting on.

You don't have to be a professional gambler to win and be in sports betting. Just the basic things that I've mentioned like knowing the game and the teams involved to the match will help you determine on what team/player has the highest chance to win. It isn't a requirement to watch all the games but even watching some of the recent can help you as well on what team to decide with your bets. Serious bettors have those predictions on their minds already because they are aware of the scene.

You are right! It doesn't really need too much for you to know the entire game for you to bet.Just know even on the basics and with just
using up your own senses you can really able to point out which team is good. It might take a while though because its totally different
for someone who do know the game entirely.

There were people who do even bet on other sports without knowing then it is clearly a pure gamble since theres no analysis involved.

Doing that will increase their chance of losing as they are just basing on their luck which is not the requirement to be profitable in sports betting.
Maybe for people who just want to have fun, they can do that but they should not be aggressive with the money they will risk, and for me, even if I am not so consistent in sports betting, to be able to analyze the game is just an another big add on for me to be entertain more.

Yes, there were bettors too that likes to do it with YOLO. You know what that means? I guess you do. Those bettors that doesn't care about stats and analysis about the teams and all they do is to bet for whichever team that they want to bet. I've seen those kind of bettors as long as they can attain to lose the amount they are betting, there's no problem with that. They know what they are doing so it's find on their side whether they win or lose.

All types of gambling must be the type that we really understand. such as sports make sure we like the sport because by liking it we can get pretty good instincts. an analysis of the club and also sports news we can do. although in fact some cases of sport itself have been set in a match

Technique is more important as that would lead you to winning more than you lose.
Loving the sports is necessary, that's the main reason why we gamble but proceeding to your plan to be profitable in sports betting, I think you need to evaluate yourself first, because not all gamblers who loves sports are profitable, in fact, most of us are not.

and to be profitable in the long run, it is better to follow that sports you are betting on.
knowing every detail of that game, the players involved, will give you more than a hint who will win the next time around. sometimes, there are unique details that you can get via watching their previous games, the current news surrounding the game, that will help you in analysing their game plans and techniques.
so more or less, this game is not relying in your pure luck but rather the knowledge you have for the sports. so i guess you can give a good fight with your money here.

While it is good to place your bet on the favorite, do not do it blindly. You will end up losing that way. Just because a player or team is underdog does not mean that it will lose. Many of my safe bets were losing bets.

First, you really need to know the track records and backgrounds of both teams or players. Nothing can replace this. Great predictions are always based on objective analyses on their games, plays, and strategies. Second, you need to play with the odds wisely. A good mixture of risk and analyses is a perfect way to win. I'm not saying I'm good at it though.

That is a kind of strategy all newbies in gambling follow and think that they will win the majority of their bets until they realize that this simply is not the case and end up losing a lot of money.We know that there is not a rule yet or strategy that can make you profit from sport betting so the only thing left for us is to experiment different strategies we think might be good to follow.The only people who win more than they lose in sport betting I think are the ones who have been betting from a longer time,the ones with more experience.

I laughed a lot because of your comment, it made my day, but it might be a good strategy, i wonder how much money i would have won if i had wagered on the fight between khabib vs mcgregor, i would have won. But unfortunately I had no account on any gambling site in the past and tracking MMA fights is hard for me, I don't like to see those people wrecking themselves in the fight ring, basketball is another sport I don't like

You're knowledgeable in cricket and I don't and if I start betting with cricket then that's a yolo for me and as if I've accepted my fate whatever will be the result of it. And that's not a wise and good move for someone who looks for profitability in sports betting.
While on my side, I bet with basketball and e-sports for which I'm also following the trend with both of it.

I really like sports especially sports foot ball game.  But I rarely play gambling And not particularly fond of gambling. But sometimes I also play gambling in soccer sports with a score bet. But never win and I always lose.

It should be precisely when you have a passion in a field that the chances of victory are huge. because you know about the analysis. as in the ball. when we like it then we can analyze which club is actually playing pretty well. starting from looking at the entire list of matches. anyone who plays. whether playing on the stadium itself or the enemy. supporters and there are still many things that can be done analysis

Well it's gambling anyways. I've tried betting in games that I don't have any ideas before. There's this kind of excitement and uncertainty lol. Don't be too tight when you gamble. As long as you're betting with money that you can afford to let go. You even get to learn a thing or two about the game you've wagered on. You don't expect to be profitable when you gamble. If you do, you'll have a lot of expectations and that's when emotions come to play. And that's dangerous.

It simply means that you enjoy the game and every action of it but you don't predict it correctly. That makes watching the sports more fun. Although you might not be able to win in gambling since it all depends on the results, but you can enjoy the game more than who can accurately predict it for their gambling reasons. As predictable things are boring ;) so you aren't losing, you are winning entertainment!

Success in sports betting can be achieve if you continue to learn.

We are doing sports betting because in the first place we love what we are doing and we think we know the game and we can make good judgement.
However, we need to understand that with odds the bookmakers are showing to us, its hard to pick which will win as you will have to find an odds with good value, which means an odds with a high chance of winning.

yes, maybe by learning about the characteristics of the team, you have a higher chance of winning the bet. it's just that, sometimes it's very difficult to determine the chance of winning when a strong team meets a strong enough team. this often happens in ball sports when I watching.

so far, I'm also not good at gambling, but sometimes when I don't make a bet, my predictions come true about a team's victory.

Yes that becomes complicated in games like that but in such type of games, I don't bet on the final result of the game rather bet in between, like for soccer, who will score the first goal, how many goals will be there before half time etc. It just makes it a bit easier.

Different gamblers are having different types of approach and honestly like your way of betting. I read some gamblers are sharing like they are able to predict the winner of final easily whereas some others like you experts in predicting everyday match events. Anyway, where we are the master is more important and also making use of our knowledge like you, will definitely land us into profits zone. Yes, this is the way, we can make sports betting profitable.

The hardness of predicting the final winner differs sport to sport. This may be the reason you are easily predicting the in-between events in your favorite sport.

You will be able to be confident if you love and know the sports you are betting, it does not only vary from sport to sport, because not all the league in the basketball for example is a good bet for you since you don't follow them all, in my case, I only follow NBA and my local basketball as I feel I have more confident betting on them and I can see I had some progress.

probably what you need are LUCK and a few RESEARCH. You will need to have a background on the playing teams so you can know about their strengths and weaknesses specially agains't each other. You will also need to know if there are any players that will not play a certain game because of injury

Being familiar with the teams is the most important thing to learn in sports betting because the players are the one who will make the outcome possible.
Though many says that here in sports betting is the simplest and easy way to earn(compared to gambling games that computer manipulated)
But the truth is?Many fails here and they don’t even made a win for how long they’ve tried because of not knowing deep about the teams and players

In addition It would be better if you watched the tape every game or review some of the game made by a specific pair of opposing team. You will somehow learn where to put your bet after you watch a replay of their games. Also you need to be updated with latest news and rumors from that specific sport to have a better idea which team you will place a bet.

ya if we like soccer, it will help a little to analyze each team. if I bet on soccer, I always bet on my favorite team when they play at home, I think it's an easy bet to get profit in sports betting.

  Watching sports is fun in itself. There is no need to risk money on them. It lays pressure because your money is at stake and this way, it is not possible to enjoy the real game itself. If you have no account on any gambling site then you should be happy. So far, your money is safe and secure. Even sports betting, which depends on knowledge, can produce unexpected outcomes. So best is to stay away.

If you want to bet scores in football you have to do an analysis beforehand or find information about the two teams that will play, and pay attention to the number of times the two teams meet and see the scores of the two teams that are obtained because it will help you choose the right score to stake.
it's about betting even though winning is just luck but it will help you guess the score accurately.

Analysis about the team, its performance, the players on the particular match all need to be learned. Only through that it is possible to predict the outcome of the game in a better way than just going for random picks. With soccer we get to place different bets, good is to go with the straight bets on the match win rather than predicting about the gaol within the half of the game and other options.

It is easy to come up with accurate predictions if someone had good knowledge about the opponents involved in a game. Sports betting is not random. It is not only about luck here but the skills too. Due to this, the factor of randomness gets eliminated. There are very rare cases when a weak opponent gets victory. Otherwise, it belongs to those who put efforts and work hard.

Not totally watching the replays because the right thing is we must know the team and sports deeply because every sports expertise is advantage and same as the sports betting

But of course with luck?replays may be enough to make as ways to find where and whim to bet

The are a few main things what you need in order to become profitable in sports betting.

1) Understanding and calculating probabilities
2) Knowing the market psychology
3) Patience

I think these 3 things are VITAL in order to become profitable. First thing is that you need to be able to give a probability for an outcome. If you can't make a suggested probability, you don't know if there is value in the odds or not. Every bet you make needs to have a positive expected value. If you can make probabilities and bet with positive EV, in the long term you will win. It's the same with stocks, options or whatever financial instrument. This is the reason why for example online casinos are not profitable for the players in the long run. It can be short term if you get lucky, but long term not.

You also need to understand how the market can swing and how the masses act. Majority of people will just bet for the fun of it and always bet on their favourite team. Big favourites and big brand teams like FC Barcelona or Manchester United are almost always minus EV. People like these teams and overrate them. More often it is more profitable to bet agains these teams. It is the same phenomenon with over/under betting. Everyone likes to see a lot of goals and it is not fun to see boring games with no goals. People will be for more goals and this will raise the odds for unders. Value increases, because the probability hasn't changed.

Patience is key. If you can't handle your bankroll and be patiet with your bets, you will go bust in no time. Be patient with your stakes, don't ever overstake or go outside your initial plan.

sport betting still is and will always also be gambling. Gambling means there is some luck involved. The only way of becoming profitable with sports betting is by decreasing the variance as much as possible. There are several ways to decrease the variance.

· arbitrage betting

This is a way of betting that guarantees you a profit no matter the outcome of the game. This way of gambling is hard do practise manually but there are some good softwares that track arb bets for you. Only negative is that you need to have 20+ betting accounts with different operators to get enough arb opportunities to make it worthwhile. And you always have the risk after a time bookies limiting your accounts.

· value betting

This also can be done with software and personally I find it more worthwhile. Only negative it is some time consuming. I receive notification 24/7 to place bets. You can loose with value betting but like for example the software I use they more or less guarantee if minimum 30 bets placed daily you should be able to double your bankroll within 90 days.

· pool betting

This final one I like most and I am practising that frequently lately. I very often organise pool bets or join pool bets on Betfair. In pool bets you simply add money in 1 pool and bet on certain games. Its the same like friends putting money together and buy lottery tickets as a group and share winnings with everyone. Pool betting is the same but then for sport betting. I really enjoy the pool betting. For a pretty small amount you can have a chance up to 1,000,000€ guaranteed prize pools

We use to experiment when we feel boredom and that's normal I think. Many are expecting to become profitable in it once we started to make and win a lot of bets. And we use to think that we will never be beaten by our own picks which makes us comfortable.
Sports betting is an easy type of gambling and you can bet without any idea what team you picked and what's happening to the game but that isn't the strategy to become profitable.

You need time and patience reviewing past games and  statistics for you to have some basis if what can be the possible turned out of each games that
you'll be going to play / bet with. It's better to have good knowledge and enough information to whatever games you'll going to bet, it's more than luck sometimes when you have enough understanding with types of games you are betting with. Chance of success is much better.

It depends on your favorite sport. Firstly, have a favorite sport, don't try to analyse on sport you don't know about. Secondly, don't always bet in favor of your favorite team, analyse the other team and know their ability. Thirdly, do not accumulate too much odds and if you do, make sure the amount you want to stake is not much.  Fourthly, you can buy tips from tipsters with a good record of winnings if you know you are not good at analysing matches.

In my limited experience with the few professional sports bettors I have met they can only make profits in the sports in which they are experts, stats are fine and can be a great way to absorb a lot of information about your favourite sport, but if you do not watch it then you cannot give context to those stats and while the advantage that you may get out of this process may seem to be minimal you really need any edge you can get against the casinos to beat them at their own game.

If you want to bet on sports, do your research first before selecting a team or a player. Lets say you want to place a bet on MMA, the fight between Jose Aldo (+155) and Marlon Moraes (-182). Based on the odds, Marlon Moraes has a bigger chance to win the fight, but, your worst enemy here is the lucky punch, no matter how good a fighter is, if he got caught with a lucky punch, he will go down for the count. There are also times, odds changes and tables are turned like the Pacquiao and Thurman fight, initially, Thurman is the favorite to win, but as fight draws near, Pacquiao became the heavy favorite.

Sports betting is some kind of passion too. If you want to win, then you should at least know the capability of the team youre betting with. For me I like NBA and been fond of my favorite teams on the league. That's why I always win on betting with some of my friends regarding score. But really not try to bet yet on a platform that involve crypto. But one of these days, will try it cause many earned a lot and wanted to try my luck.

It's a passion since how could a bettor win if he didn't know on what he's going unto and knowing the team can get higher chances to win the bets but I don't actually see a reality on always winning on bet's since actually even though how strong the team is there's instance that they lost since they are out focus and been out smart sometimes by underdog teams.

It's more like your capability which is more important than the team you are betting.
When you choose a team, you don't just choose because they have a big chance of winning, you also choose them because you believe that they will cover the point spread, yes, its like that as teams that are favorites usually are heavy favorites in betting sites too, hence there's a need of handicap to balance the money in different sides.

It is not the team that you bet on that made you win actually; it is your analysis, which leads to your prediction, which then leads to your bet. You are not betting to measure the teams' capabilities. Quite the contrary, you already have an idea of the capabilities of the playing teams. Thus your choice of bets. And it is not luck that plays the influence or play-maker in sports betting. Luck may have a place in sports betting but only very seldom, and only a very small percentage. Sports betting is not dice or lottery or roulette. 

do you think you will win without the team that is playing   ?  add in the gambling site that your betting with   . two of them and the rest few are much important than our luck and analysis because without them we cant make a profit . sports betting is still simillar to dice and lottery because on sports betting not all your calculations are accurate  or let say its accurate enough but you wouldnt know the whole result of the game  . a leading team/player can left behind on the later run or the underdog can catch up ( vice versa )

You can't say both of them are similar. The only similarity is that they are both Gambles.
In sports betting, there are variety of match outcomes which you can pick from starting from the most popular 1 x 2. The 1 x 2 has being people's favorite pick because it's easy to know who would win a game most of the time with the odd difference. But Dice games are just random results generated by computers and can be easily manipulated by the site owner whenever he sees that people are winning a lot.



You're totally wrong for saying LUCK is needed. LUCK isn't a thing you just get. The word is only used by some people after a successful outcome of an event and I hate it when people tell me I won by luck. It's not luck but analysis.

Analysis goes a long way in a sports bet. You can't expect a team that scores below 3 goals in most of the matches they've had together to score over 4-5 goals because you're expecting LUCK to work for you, no it won't.

  Agree with you when you are betting with any game you better understand it and make proper betting with it. Having knowledge about related game is the most important factor that every gambler must have. When you are not aware of the or the web site then better wait for little more time am make research so you will know it well and your getting will become so profitable.

Sports that you are not really familiar if you will going to assess it will be to hard. The chance to get the right pick is small better to go with sports games that you understand completely. As sorting the potentials are much better. You can have some good edge if you know the team or players. Especially the characteristics it will be much easier to select your position and bet.

Bet on the team or players which you know are the best and chances of winning against the opponent is much higher . Though the odds would be low but you will still make some profits and be contained with the profits you make it .

Same with this, if you wanted to be profitable in any gambling games especially in betting sites, bet on the team that is the best team you know in the league.

For example, you always play Dota2, LoL and other online games, then it's easy for you to bet since you know their capabilities if they will win or not. Through that, you'll gain profit because you have knowledge on the specific game. Same with the other sports, if you always watch and analyze the gameplay then you'll surely predict it correctly.

That's not gonna work all the time or even most of the time.
For example, what is your best team in the NBA now? if we think its Clippers or Lakers, of course they keep winning but are they always covering the point spread, the answer is no, and if you keep betting on them ML, you will just get a small percentage of your bet since they are the heavy favorites most of the time as long as they keep winning.

sometimes, you will get a line of 1.30 ML, and therefore you need to win at least 4 wins to have at least 120% return of your bet which the chance is low IMO.

Sometimes there's no profit if the odds is low for that team that you're betting. I've got some experiences that the capital that I've bet just returned although the team that I've bet has won so sometimes those small profits that we expect, sometimes it's just a return especially if you're into mutual betting.

But those experiences that I have were few.

a smart and realistic gambler will do this , instead stake the money randomly.

although the odds will be very low the entire time at least you know what you are doing with your money , the risk will always worth it , bet it carefully is the key if you doing this low odds betting as there is a possibility you will get a lost in the ridiculous low odds.
such way to gamble is safer but doesn't mean it is completely safe!

you will have a better chance to get your +EV, not guaranteed.

Sports betting is that type of gambling in which a gambler can increase his chances of winning by knowledge and experience. By placing bet on games that he knows about very well, he can obviously enjoy success most of the times. Understanding the skill level of opponents is the key in sports betting. Place money on the right team and player, who is capable of winning, and the money is yours.

Yes, there are so many teams that’s why it’s not possible for us to get information about every game so it’s good to bet on few but before betting just for research and do a lot of research about the previous winning of that team. Choose the game you find interested in so it helps in research and watching it will be enjoyable for you then you can bet with confidence.

It is clearly important to know each team before placing our bets, this is a way to get some hints which team could probably be taking the advantage otherwise, we are blinded up and just lose in the end.

If we are doing this all the time, it simply giving us direction what would be the possible result. In sports betting, it never needs to have luck but to have knowledge in both parties and put bets to those who have big chances of winning.

Yeah right.
I'd like to point out that avoid those people that are saying they have insiders. This happened and posted few times in the forum but I think some did actually happen but still it's too risky for someone who's really not into this kind of idea.

The above has been said about knowledge and experience so for what to believe those who say they have insiders, I'm sure no one likes that idea when you make a gamble for fun and to hone knowledge about the sport itself and to test your luck in gambling. Back again, knowledge and experience will indeed be more interesting for this because when you have it then at least you have lots of strategies that can be applied when betting even though luck is basically the main factor to get good results.

They actually don't have an info, common sense.. if they have, they would have use it on their own, they don't need to sell it just to let notice by the bookies.


Not only in this forum, there's a lot going on like this outside, and when I was new, I read a lot of post saying they have an inside info or they have a premium pick where they will only give if people will subscribe, they even have some kind of testimony to prove, so if you are really that easy to convince, you might fall for their too good to be true claim together with their good marketing.
