Greetings! When I started betting on various events, I kept putting money on the options that were offering high payout but, naturally, weren't that likely to come true. I kept losing, so I decided to go for a radical change: betting only when the winner is pretty obvious and the payout is low but more or less secured. I won a few bets in a row like that, but my question is whether you'd consider it a good strategy for sports betting. I'm talking about bets for which the odds are 1.15 or something like that. Here're some bets I won like this:
https://i.imgur.com/yaf84u7.png

Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?

No, they are not safe :) For beginners or not so advanced betting people, I would even recommend to not go with this strategy, since the bookmakers/markets tend to put more value into the higher odds, because a lot of people do actually play these small odds. So the less value they put there, the better for the bookmaker longterm. When a team like Liverpool, Kansas City, Barcelona lose, this is always payday for bookmakers. And these <1.20 bets lose more often than you would think ;)

But you can find value in all odds, can be 1.01 or 1000, it's just harder to spot the value in these low odds for beginners.

This might be safe for short term but in the long run you will lose your money because there will be matches where the favorite team will lose and hence you will lose the money.
As as example, you keep betting 100$ on these safe bets and earn 5$-15$ per bet. Lets suppose you won consecutive 5 bets and won 25 dollars but lost the next match and lose your 100$.

Yes, this is correct as there are matches which in the ends changes its course completely and other team wins it. So, in such cases you might lose the bet. So, one can mix of both like certain percentage you can bet on this type and remaining it can be done with better odds so that you can take advantage of both.

Safe bets does not excess in sports betting, every bet you'll make regardless of the odds are always risky. Man, I'm done with that experiment and I tell you it does not work on my end, what strategy I'm using now which is I am comfortable is betting on odds 1.90 and above.

Lower odds means high chance of winning however I don't think it's a safe to bet on low odds since there's still a chance that they will still lose about the long term not quite sure if it does work I think proper analysis is still the safest way to bet in sports betting.

Safe is not even the right term for betting on any gambling platforms, because mostly you will lose your money as an outcome, and if your reason in betting is to have some fun, well that's not the fun you are really looking for. I know that it's not my place to say this since it's your money, but you could acquire the happiness that gambling gives you in another way in which you don't have to lose your money mostly.

Finding your passion is the key, and just a disclaimer, gambling isn't bad as long as you have a limitation for yourself, that way, you won't lose all of your money while seeking a temporary happiness.

Don't gamble if you think of safety as you can never have that safety.

Try betting on odds that has the highest chance of winning which is 1.01, and tell me if you will not lose at least one game in 100 tries.
Every odds has corresponding chances of winning, oddsmaker would not just imagine the odds without basis, and they always serve the interest of the sportsbook with the odds they provide so most likely they will win more than they lose.

Your stakes are quite huge and it is really radical as you call it but then yes. Odds within that range of 1.10 - 1.20 are often that promising and seems of little or no risk. It's very unlikely for games to change in that aspect but then, it's always best to put the team in consideration first, the time on the clock and the difference as to scores on the score board. Once those criteria can be satisfied to be drastically distinct, it's more likely to always turn out in your favour.
No doubt, the referee can be a factor in cousins certain miracles on the field of play by calling some surprising and amazing shots but then, it's only on very rear cases.
Even with that, apply caution.

Betting on the basis of odds only is wrong.

If you think lower odds gives better chance of winning, then that is wrong, there are odds that are overvalued and undervalued, you need to determine that in order to find the best odds and the best winning chances at the same time, if you are familiar with the term "trap" in gambling, you'll understand what I mean.  Actually, in order for you to prove if what you thought would work, better start experimenting and start with a small amount.

Odds are all about risks and rewards. The gambling operator are not betting on win or loss or anything would happen or not but are actually matching people with different opinion and taking a commission on the process. Gambling odds are determine by the user and the amount they gamble with. The lower odds means large number of people believe the team or person would win, that defines a confidence. But going low risk would yield you less and for a 1.01 odds, you need to be right 101 times without being wrong to make 0.01 profit.

I won't normally go for bets with as low odds as 1.10 or 1.20. For me, they are not worth it. It would be much better if you parlay 3-5 bets with these very low odds.

It would take more or less 10 wins for you to be able to win the same amount that you bet. And even a single loss is deep enough that you end up trying to recover your losses for a long while. Unfortunately, upsets in sports are not that unusual.

It is like playing dice with 90% winning chance vs. 10% winning chance. I prefer the latter.

I don't prefer these, maybe 1.40 I could hardly accept but 1.10 to 1.2 seems a little low. Some might say that it could be a sure win but still, the percentage of your loss is not 0. Safe? Yes, worth it? For me, no. As a beginner, I wasn't picky so I usually bet on these since I always win but when I lost one time, it just stings because I won a lot and lost once but that one loss is higher than my consecutive wins.

In cricket, I have seen people to lose with odd of 1.06; it's England vs Srilanka match in last cricket world cup and for your info, England was the champion in that edition. Therefore, you can never have sure bet. While it's good to bet on team with lower odds who are unlikely to lose but sometimes, with different team combination or some other factors, result can be different. For instance; we have seen in UCL, Mancity to lose against Lyon. Mancity was hot favorite and supposed to be reached in Final as well but lost the match. I wouldn't say it's a good strategy but yeah, it can be good start for new gamblers.

Not quite sure if it's safe just imagine this thing there's a chance that you might be losing 2x in a row in a long term and you bet 0.0005 for each bet so you lose 0.001 while if you one you only earn 0.0001 profit from 1.2 odds it's risky for me also i don't really think there's a safe bets in sports betting. Once you placed your bet you are already at risk of losing it.

My strategy is to know first the participants of the said sports that I will be betting. From that you can have your assumption what might be the most possible result, but it's not guaranteed since we can't control how they play, we just watch and bet.
Tho, with your odd, that's quite safe I guess since it's low. And ofcourse the reward from your odd is low. Better to bet on those person/team that you think has a better chance of winning.

I have done it several times, and I can say that 1.1x is still an unsafe odds.
I usually pick mix parlay with that kind of odds until I got 2x of odds.
But still, even 1.05x is not a safe odds. It surely depends on the league and team itself.
You cant blindly pick 1.1x odds for a league or team from out of nowhere.
Dont be easily to be tricked with odds :(
Dont be me  ;D

There is no safe bets, but there are bets safer bets.
For example if you are betting on winner on game you can have 33.33% for in as it can be home win, draw or away win.
If you play Asian handicap 0 for example you will get back your stake if game end up as draw.
Or if you play double chance 1X you have 50% to win.

Odds with super low odds like 1.1 when there are 3 outcomes for match, are not good as you can lead to serious loss of money.

Somehow I find it safer than betting on higher odds and expect an upset when it rarely happen. You may win big with 1.40 odd but it also mean that the other team has the chance to win which you will actually lose it all.

I'd find it safer if the sport is basketball since you can definitely see the skills of the top 5 players of both team say Lakers or Clippiers. It wouldn't be safer if both teams almost have same records and both have great players.

The greater the odds the higher stakes you can win however there is least chance of you winning that odd. Is there any safe bets? YES, when odds are low that means that the game might go fair enough or a close game, either of them can win in that case. But still it depends on the composing team, as we know all players have different moods in the game, even Lebron can just score a single digit in a game with 48 minute appearance. I'd say comfort bet is safer.

Low odds are not safe can make you lose money that you won in one game so be very careful + If the low odds are safe all the time, we can make many wins and big returns, but sports books are not always like that. They set traps that you can fall into.

Well, I saw that you are lucky enough you have won that huge amount for me. But I think this strategy will not work for the long term, perhaps.
It is like a based on luck game, you perhaps have a low odds that is quite hard to win even two consecutive wins in a row. Perhaps not safe on my side but there's nothing we can do, always ready every detail and avoid those high fees. However, the best strategy is to analyze who will gonna win.

I usually put my bets into the higher odds, yeah, it all not works well and chances are just 50/50. And I realize that it is never easy to win in gambling and not only the odds we have to take a look but must also look at the team whos playing.

But things are already acceptable, gambling makes me fun (but not addicted) so I'd never had to complain because I lose. It was the thing that we should expect, winning is just a lucky day for us, and unfortunately, it never comes to us always.

The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have now lost ten fixtures in a row, so it's almost guaranteed betting against them will pay off, so it might be a small return, but it's almost a sure thing.

All bets are really not safe. But like the OP, I also did that strategy from time to time, when I got tired of losing with higher odds. Because the chance of winning with low odds is higher but still depend on circumstances. Not all the time it will work. As you said, the site itself may be setting some traps and we don't know it.

There's no such thing about safe bets on gambling world even how good you are on sports betting neither you do have a good strategy but doesnt mean that you would
really able to sustain it for too long but somehow there are people who do make living with it into their corresponding sports that they do mastered or do know much about.
So basing off into your illustration about betting on underdogs then ofcourse you can expect that high percentage on where you would lose but there are underdog bets that
can able to pull it through because we know on a certain game, even strong teams can be beaten out by weak ones on some situation and basing of odds then thats a big hit
but these are likely to happen.

Odds at below 1.3 is not a good pick even chances to win is 90-100%. Just imagined how much you need to put for a good profit in return.

Yes, more chances to win but still losing is possible.

Not worth a risk. I will play at 1.7 above instead of risking money on low odds.

You got a point! Risk:reward ratio too.
We should also consider what we are risking and the reward we get for what we risked.
For me, even how odds is higher or extremely favor on the one you bet, there are still lot of chances that it will loses, in any sports I admit.
That's why there are lot of people who are betting against the high odds with very low amount only but the reward is huge.

When I first started sports betting I followed the same strategy, choosing favorite Teams or Players for Betting. I thought it would be safe,
and I continued to increase my betting amount. But there must be a moment when a strong team will lose,  this makes me experienced
a big loss. Based on this experience, we must also have the courage to take bets with high payouts. But it's not easy, an analysis of the team
that will play is required. We must have good knowledge in the sports world.

No, as long as there is risk involved and randomness of the result, there is no truly safe bets but only lucky bets.  Even with most minimal risk,  it cannot be considered safe.  Sports betting just like any other gambling games, there is always a percentage that you will be busted just like what I have stated, the randomness factor makes our bets even on the most favorable scenario to lose.

There's no way I will do that kind of betting. Not worth a reward.

I'd like to gamble and risk more to high odds compare to this. The reason is, losing in a low odds is more regrettable and hurtful compare to risking high odds.

As a sports bettor for several years, I like to rely on my own knowledge to increase my winning chances, not to place my bet securely and safe.

The lowest odds so far I take is @1.5 and my bet has 90% to win based on my own view. Although, if ever that bet loses, I can't imagine how I will handle that loss.

On this we can call it a safe bet since if we are knowledgeable on the team stats and roosters for this we will get a high advantage compare to the other bettor that doesn't have any knowledge on what he is doing. And its a risky bet to do a random selection so personal knowledge can really increase our chances to win specially on sports or any skill based games.

Not really. I mean, yes, it's good if you just want to keep your winning percentage high, but it isn't even a gamble anymore, not to mention that even you can lose when betting to those with high odds. Not to mention that you'd have low profit if you won, if you lost, you'd have to gamble multiple times to even get back your return. Don't just bet on those with high payouts, sports betting involves research just as well as luck is needed. A bit of knowledge about where the players are, what were they doing before should be enough judgement to push you whether to bet for them or not.

Indeed. there's still risk even the chance of winning was so high there's still things that might affect your bets.
But if you understand the game and the team that you are betting with, the chance of winning is much better.


Because you are still in gambling business there's no assurance that you'll win from time to time. You have lesser risk if you
really know the game as you can weight in the reason for having such odds.

Although I am not into rugby betting, I cannot imagine how low the odds would be in this case if you prefer to just bet on win or lose. I bet it is not worth risking. Sometimes, a team with nothing to lose, with every game they play just a mere game, would surprisingly upset an opposing team which is much stronger. 

If the odds would be ≤1.10, that wouldn't be worth betting at all. Better be risking and bet on handicap with higher odds than stay safe with very low odds but still not 100% sure of winning.

There are no safe bets, but there are less risky bets. Just like what you said low odds means more chance of winning but that doesn't mean it is safe to bet on it. No matter what the percentage of winning of a team there is still a chance of losing don't expect to be safe in gambling. I lost a bet with a 95-5 percentage of winning so anything is possible in gambling.

I guess @OP have much suggestion from other members. I only want to suggest using the money you can afford, no matter how much you want to place a bet, you need to think about how much the money you are ready to lose. But for me, there are no safe bets because every bet that you place on the gambling will have a risk that you should accept. And when you can't win from that bets, it is because you are not lucky.

But you can modify your strategy to have a high percentage in winning the gambling games, but you must remember that all of that will depend on the luck factor. So you won't feel regret if somehow you lose in any gambling games.

safe bet in gambling doesnt literally mean safe or no guaranteed loss but that only means that less risk or less chance of lossing  .

low odds looks like its winnable but if you look around you , many gambler says that low odds are verry risky . i dont know why they say that but maybe because low odds are attracting you to bet more or giving you an illusion that you can earn easy money .

In general, there are really no safe bets in gambling including sports betting. If there is a possibility of losing, then that means it is not safe.

But we may refer to the different degrees of risk. And we may consider those bets with very low risk to be safe, but only as far as those risky ones are concerned. So it is a matter of comparison.

But safe as it is? No. You can actually make an experiment on this, consistently betting on teams with very low odds, which could be interpreted as sure wins. You will most likely end up with a negative net rather than a positive.

Low odds are indeed dangerous, As I said I once lost a 95%-5 bet with almost $1k in line. I put that much money because of the odds of winning of the team I bet on. Low risk means low winning so basically you need to wager a ton of money in order to win a decent amount. High wage with low return, and that's not good in gambling.

I remember that this is exactly what a tipping service which I was part for a month were doing.They always choose 3-4 events and their total odd was about 1.75-1.9 daily.Although that month I was part of them I won the other month I saw their history which was red.That means safe bets do not exist in sport betting.

but you arent included on those lost bets ? good for you if you arent , that means luck is still in your side  . the reason why they choose low odds its because they can increase thier win chance, they need that as a tipping service because thats the only way that they prove that they are really working as when compare to when they choose higher odds  .  loosing is fine because it would also be impossible if they will only claim that they dont have a history of losses 

Unfortunately there are no 100% safe bets in sports. Only if the matches where fixed we could say this but than it's illegal and all the winnings would be void. The problem with sports is that every athele can have a bad day, we are all humans and make mistakes. There are games with a very high winning chance, for example if a top tier team plays a match against some regional teams. But in those kind of matches the odds are very poor. You might make only 0.1% return.

Yeah even in NBA sports clearly that there are games like being thrown and base on my observation during the first series of playoff lakers vs. trail blazers letting the trailblazers win in the first game. I was having questions to myself why it did happen when clearly that Lakers is a strong team and has advantage winning over it. The next round of playoffs still happen the same when they were being beaten by their first game with houston rockets and now came out to be winning in the playoff and waiting for the their next match between the winners of clippers vs. nuggets.

well I totally agree with what you say but to be able to overcome the risks that can occur with athletes and the matches that are starting then maybe you can use other ways such as resetting the match schedule and I don't think it's possible to do the money that has been used by the regulator the course of the match.

I think all of the gamblers know about this, no one any of kind of gambling/bet give a 100% safe, all based on prediction. May some of the sport betting needs analysis before taking a place, but this is still same as another betting, will be have a win & lose results. as you say:


It's mean, we need to makes our position as safe as we can before take a place, sports also give some surprise in results, so don't just take a place because of name of the clubs, see what happens with Barcelona in the week 37 la liga last season, when they are lose 2-1 vs Osasuna. In paper Osasuna far behind Barcelona, but they can beat Barcelona in last minutes.

I've tried gambling making last minute bets. I've placed bets on exact score by the game end and bets on a winner. My tactics was - wait till there are 5 or less minutes in football match or period, place a quick bet with 1.01-1.10 odds. Such strategy lasted for 2-3 evenings and I've tried it for 15 times. I've managed to lose even placing a bet with 1.01 odds which I thought are extremely safe. I was getting very tired refreshing and scrolling my phone, searching for a game to place bet. Then you place a bet, wait, repeat, win few bucks in a day and lose because someone scored on 90+4 minute :D

Personally, there are no safe bets in sports.

Looks like safe bets to me, assuming you aren't gambling with your funds or betting what you can't afford to lose. 
It's important to keep improving & learning to bet on matches while betting with small amounts. This should allow you to learn and succeed without fear. If you become consistently profitable for abit long, you can start increasing your bets.

That's much safer place to bet but not guaranteed since there some situation that even a good team can lose a game.

By the way OP it's a gambling you need to understand that there are always risk to lose when you are betting and there are no 100% sure win when the game started just take it and bet for the team you think will win.

For me I mean this is my opinion of the said matter. Only good sports betting is the government sponsored sports betting. As long as the games are regulated and sponsored by the government then it is the real deal. Your bets should have a higher chance of being safe. Why do I think this way? Simple, government has been regulating lotteries and other legal gambling schemes for a long time. Private betting can also be safe, as long as it is already established and well known.

I like to bet on live games, and usually I bet on small odds, and believe it or not at 1.05 odd,  2 : 0 for the home 30 minutes until the end and I lose the bet with 2:2 in the end! Isn't that funny? I usually win, but when you lose couple big bets on small odds you -ev. So your question:


They are not safe as they seem, but I am going for this strategy anyway! What I learned is that making single bets can be safer than making parlay with more picks with low odds, one of them will sell you for sure, more picks more risks! Single bets are safer in general, but I can't resist to make parlay bet here and there, trying to make higher odds and place some lower bets and to hope for the best!

That's some really low bets, your strategy is good, but the leverage your putting in is not quite enough. If you want some profit you should bet more, but there's no problem betting with that amount. If, what you're after is fun and enjoyment, but if you want to make some money, you need to raise to actually make profit. This is not financial advice, in the end it's your money.

Safe bets are those where you are guaranteed to win. AFAIK these exist only in certain circumstances such as free introductory offers, where you can take up multiple free offers and bet both sides in a two-way contest.

If we are talking about increasing your chances of winning, this is all determined by you being able to predict more accurate odds than the bookmaker can, and for your calculation to more than offset the house edge.

As a simple example, if a bookmaker offers 5/1 on team A winning, then they are basing this on a calculation that the reality is 6/1, and then adding their own percentage gain so that they make profit. What you need to do is to find something like this where your calculation of team A winning is better than 5/1. Basically it's not enough to simply predict better than the bookmaker does, you have to predict sufficiently better than you also overcome their edge... a bit like overcoming the bid/ask spread in crypto trading.

Yes, you always consider that.
The higher the money line the lower the chance of winning.
Think of it as a jackpot in the lottery. That's how I compare it.

Welcome to more headaches in analyzing sports.  ;D But most of the times it will be fun especially if you pick the right bet.

and if you know the team or player that you are betting with.

There are some bettors here that i have read in whos successful in their sportsbetting activities because of familiarization in teams and players.

and also the opponent in which they can analyze what will be the scores or the winners.

No bet can be considered safe in the sports betting world. A 1.01 bet can also fail and I have seen it happen many times. Also, many people forget to factor in the juice when placing bets due to which they lose out on value bets quite often.

The only safe betting style possible is arbitrage betting, but it has its own downsides like bookmaker limitations, account closure etc.

I don't believe there are safe bets in sports betting, even the outcome odds are 1.18, which has a big chance of winning.
It cannot be called safe, because in sports betting there are often surprises. Often happen strong teams lose against weak teams.
This means that in sports betting, luck still plays a very important role.

There is nothing safe in any kind of betting and sports betting isn't exception, risks are always present. Unless you play on arranged and fixed matches and that is illegal. No play you choose can't guarantee the winning only.

Mostly of us experience of losing money in betting in a game. In my opinion, if there’s really safe betting many gambler win everytime. A safe bet at first but in the long run it may lose your money. Let's take it from the experts that there's no safe bets and still luck is important to win the game.

If we are in the midst of gambling, there are no safe bets not unless the game has been tampered. The casinos are putting the best odds in order to get a diversion
to the bettors so there is no safe betting even if you are winning the past bets that you had but there is always a time that you can lost.

That's how game is, the ball is circle especially if we are talking about basketball. I am not a good bettor as I always lost also especially in basketball choices but
what I can say to you is that you should make sure that you will only bet the money that you can afford to loss as I fully believe that there is no safe bets in gambling.

I had a 2 leg multi few days ago(with one underdog and favorite) that lost (https://imgur.com/tycUAZQ) and it gave me a lesson on why I shouldn't take or parlay favorites with very low odds.

When pre live odds are that low (1.2-1.3) it's better to skip or if you can't stop yourself from placing a bet then wait on their live odds to swing a bit more (they're not safe) but you'll usually get more value with that strategy.

Very true. I don't think there are safe bets in sportsbetting.
Even if you play safe when you bet on low odds, which usually means they have higher chance of winning.
Still you can't be 100% sure that you will win as you said, the ball is circle.
You can only be sure once the game is over.
But if you know very well the sports, in all angles possible, your chance of winning just got high.

when you are gambling like that then you should be able to pay attention to the odds that really determine your destiny in the gambling place, sometimes many people don't care about that they try to find ways of setting up suitable odds that can bring a lot of profit. unfortunately it requires a lot of money to try it.

I'll keep that in mind, there's only two or three more games in the regular season then the finals.  (which they won't be a part of because of their poor performance.

The Parramatta Vs Brisbane match this week is paying $ 1.13 / $ 6.00 according to the TAB site: https://www.tab.com.au/sports/betting/Rugby%20League/competitions/NRL

When it comes to sports betting where analysis is really much needed and you do have the chances on winning at the end of the game.This is where we do see favorites and underdogs.
Safe word isnt really that much fit here on gambling but at least we can make our choices depending on the statistics of the team get involved..We can see both team
which is the favorite one and which do had least.Bookies do set out odds depending on which one will be placed on such position.If you dont have much knowledge on sportsbet
then you can choose up the favorite for having higher chance of winning but to ask.Are those odds really worth to risk on?

I've just taken a quick look at the Rugby NRL stats. And I would say ML betting in this particular match may be considered relatively safe if you are with the Eels. After all, the game is between the 4th rank vs. the 15th rank (2nd to the last). And the last time the 2 teams met, the game ended with Parramatta ahead by 28 points.

Which brings me to conclude that even betting with Asian Handicap odds with the maximum + for the Broncos might not bring you closer enough to getting a win. And so I placed a little bet for the Eels (-8.5) with 1.43 odds, still low but probably an easy and safe win for me, especially since ML betting on this one is definitely not worth it when it comes to money.

This type of betting is not profitable on a long term basis having a series of losing streaks will wipe out your funds, forget about the fact that small odds has the chances of winning a bet or safe bet, there is no any proven record to back up those claims except you are well versed in a particular sport.
A thorough Analysis of a particular Sport or League is the best bet of winning consistently eg using EPL as an example teams like Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Man utd and Arsenal are teams with a strong squad in EPL will definitely have lower odd however the chances of winning a bet on them is brighter than betting on unfamiliar teams with low odds.

Yes, it does not mean low odds always win in every bet. There are always surprises into this kind of event and that when high odds bet winning.

Always remeber that this is gambling mean that you bet in exchange for a desired result taking risky action as per google dictionary. Yet, there are really lucky gambler that are always win. But their wins does not consider as safety bets. They just being lucky enough.

Let's hope you have a win.  Personally, I think the BNE Broncos decided to throw the season because of their coach and the season long Covid Lockdown/Quarantine they have been in for many months now.

If they loose the rest of the season, then the "State of Origin" will be a white wash 2-1 or even 3-0 to NSW.

Thanks everyone! I understand that there are no completely safe bets, I meant relatively safe ones. I also agree that gambling always involves risks and thus betting on what one cannot afford to lose is unacceptable.
Yeah, I has concerns that it might be true with these seemingly safe bets. Thanks for the insight.
Maybe you're right, but I have to try for myself to see how it plays out for me. In the meantime, I'm taking part in the EPL prediction pool, so predicting the score of each match there is obviously not the low-risk bets I'm used to, and I can see and compare how it works for me.
Well, if it's 1.2, you make 5 bets and you're in 2x profit. I'm also considering multi-betting on such bets.

There is relatively no safe bets in sports betting and any other kinds of bet game for there are really certain risks involve in any betting game you will play. Such strategies might work for a short term and must be dependent and expect that it would always work on the same manner. Odds on sport bets does not always guarantee that you will be able to win everytime because that's not how betting game always works. Maybe you are just lucky to win on observance that you are relying on witnessing and seeking for low odds bets but this would not always work for there are instances in gambling that we must expect the unexpected outcome for there is an open chances and probability that what we expect won't reflect the result or the outcome.

Choosing the game with lower odds seems predictable but it is really not going to give decent profits but the profit of 10 wins can go by single lose with this strategy so net profit will be none at the end of the day.Go with slightly higher odds and predict based on your own analysis which could be the worthy sport betting.

I personally don’t think that there are any safe bets in sports betting. You may find a strategy that could keep you winning for a time but the odds doesn’t really guarantee winning. After all this is gambling and risk is a major companion in every move you take.

If you will able to bet in a sports you're familiar with, with players or teams you tend to follow and believes in their skills, actually it can be a safer bet. In these way you will not weigh too much your bet and will just seem to support the team. Like here in my country when it's league time and people mostly just bet in the team they wanted even they lose it still seems fine as they were really a supporters of those team.
Betting in sports is much safer than doing any bets in casino as we can track the record of the players and the team.

I agree that sports betting is safer than other gambling games, because if we have good knowledge about the team or player
who will play which one is better, it's easier to win in sports betting. The key to winning in sports betting is our knowledge in
the sports world. Your country's citizens are extraordinary, willing to lose to support the team they wanted. True loyal supporters,
the possibility of your country's population is quite prosperous due to financial matters.

Things should be have on consideration when dealing up with low odds.Always think that one loss will surely eat up all of your profits on the games you had won. Odds of 1.1-1.3 i dont see it for me to be interested into these numbers but if i cant find a better one then i might consider for this time but
depending on the game ive been following.If your on that uneasy or in doubt then better to skip out on that day.

Thats why its called gambling because nothing is assured when it comes to winning.You might win and on a streak but doesnt mean

that you would experience it forever.There would be a time that you would lose even if you do always follow on favorite teams.

Game can turn upside down and thats why each bet should really be accompanied with good analysis from time to time.

The odds to win is greater if you know the game and the teams that are competing, of course you are going to lose sometimes, because there is such a thing like upsets, where people are confident in one team or a player and losses because of an upset, sports bettors never overlooked upsets it's part of the game, there is really no safe bets but there are good odds to win a bet.

That is why we need to know each team that will match to increase the odds of winning. But that will not always guarantee to win because sometimes the situations can change, and the weak team can win easily because of a small mistake. Perhaps, the safe bets will be related to the amount of money that we use to bets, so we don't place bigger bets. The losing money from that bets will not be too big, and we only place a bet with the money we can afford. If you can do that, you will not have to feel sad if you lose the money.

For gamblers who have less experience maybe yes but it's a joke if you believe that "safe bet" do exist.

The fact that we are gambling, we are facing the risk already based on the odds we are betting, the higher the odds, the lower the risk and same goes with the opposite. As a gambler it's important that we should act mature so we make a mature decision, it's not necessary to learn from our mistakes as we can learn from other people's mistake and the first thing we need to learn is understand the basic especially the risk involve in betting.

Okay, please share your experience then, I suggest you make your own thread to track your experiment, this is all about betting on low odds right?
Good luck on that, that seems to be a hard mission so just don't get too aggressive.

Yeah, maybe making my own thread is a good idea! I'm shy for that for now because I don't feel experienced enough and I don't think I'm betting enough with those low bets right now (I'm focused on the prediction pool, and predicting the score is far from safe). For now, I lost one multi bet that was comprised from three that had less than 1.5 odds each (two won, one lost, so I lost the bet).  It's my first loss after three wins, so I don't feel encouraged to experiment with multi bets, but I think I'll find time for all that once the season is over.

Betting on Lower odds is a good strategy but you should be careful and know your timing when you should not bet. Because it is also a big risk especially since you can lose a lot. It is better to study each team first so that you know who is better than them so that you have an idea who will win.

There is really a safe bet, if the team is winning you bet in sports like 5x in a row then most probably betting on it gives to the better chance of winning.

Odds are given when there is something unfair, so you get an odd in winning, this does not mean that the team you have bet to won. Knowing the background and doing your homework before betting is necessary if you really want a safe bet, or let's just say a good decision. When you take risk in gambling, it's all the fortune that you need to get.

it can be really impossible have a "safe" bets. If it will be seriously safe no one can accept it .
but there are just few exemptions like betting on some events that are strongly easy to predict.
Like players/team that are resuming from a long stop or situations where one of team has not really interest in this match (like the last turn of a league series and everything has been already decided).

Some years ago I was so lucky to bet against a team (relegation in low series) because in my country was 101% sure that due debts they was not able to remain again in a major league.
A couple of foreign bookmakers was accepting the same this bet! The odds wasn't to high (around @1,10) but it was a sure bet!

Everything would have corresponding timing and some exclusions on some situation where it can greatly affect the chances of winning of a certain team.Having low odds selection doesnt really
guarantee you on complete win but at least we do have higher chances for it to hit yet this had been common when it comes to favorites but the bad thing is that when you do lose
then you would need multiple low odd bet winnings for you to compensate on what you had lost and this is one of the cons.

You can able to differentiate or notice it out this is why having knowledge and keeping yourself updated is always been an advantage compared to those who do just
simply make bet and be sure just because they are on low odds or heavily favorite.Yes, it might works but not all the time.

There are still safe bets in sports betting although we must not rule out upsets because it's part of the game, in every sporting events there will be strong and weak teams and from there you can take the odds and it's for you to grab but betting in a lower odds has a good chance for a gain, since this is a sports betting analysis always plays a big factor.

That's not how it works because odds 1.2 is not a sure win.

I can't understand the logic of playing multi-betting on odds at 1.2. You expect to win because of the odds, not because you know how those teams performed.

But if that your preferred style of betting, and if it works for you, then good.

1.20 odds usually win but if you parlay it with 1.20, you will only get 1.44 which is still low or less than 50%  of what you will get when you win. Therefore, I find this method hard to win in the long run as two bets compared to one, one bet is easier to win. In addition, it's important to understand that oddsmaker knows the probability in every odds they'll make and it should always favor on the sportsbook.

Safe bets in sports betting is possible, but the same isn't possible with every game. It is good to bet on matches in which both the teams are predicted to have a close fight for the winning. Also this is possible with limited gambling websites where it is possible to cashout even before the game ends. Based on the match changes there'll be increase in the cashout than the bet amount. Here one should not get greed.

One close to really safe bet would be in football if you take first team playing against the last team of the season. The Payout will be below 1.1 so not a lot of upside in such a bet. But even in such a bet it's not a 100% safe. Every football player can have a bad day, we are all humans. The top team might not actually lose, but they could still play tide which would lose you the bet. I would recommend to not look for a truly safe bet because it's just not worth it to bet with such a small payout. Better to go for riskier bets with a high payout, even if you lose a few of them you can make a nice profit.

Sometimes, no matter how much money we use to bet, we can be a rush to place the bets because we feel that we will lose the opportunity to win if we are late to place the bet. The big loss will wait behind us if we don't research to find the team with a chance to win. Sometimes, the research will need longer than we can imagine, and don't forget that the situations can change every time, so you need to have another strategy if necessary.

But what you are talking about is still not safe. You can never predict the outcome of every match and in the instances where both teams are going to be closely fighting, then the odds are not good to pick a spread.

Only promos give players the edge in sportsbetting.

I think if alot of time is put into researching & and understanding competiting teams, bettors could make a headway with large occasional bets, than say betting frequently with little to no understanding of the competiting teams.
They could spend a whole month (for example) researching  and understanding the teams that will be involved in future matches, then bet something reasonable, depending on how good & confident the bettors are

If you want to multi-bet on very low odds like 1.20 it is better if you make it more than 2 bets. With only two bets, the odds would still remain low just like your example.

What do you mean by oddsmaker always favoring sportsbooks? Sportsbooks don't have a house edge unlike other casino games. With sports betting you don't beat the house. The betting site always wins because in every match they will receive a certain amount from the loser.

Tipping is a different system compared to the betting system they might be doing it for the promo.
That's a huge house edge by that gambling company, It's most likely because teams with huge house edge are better compared to low ones.

No, none at all because betting is a form of gambling risking money to make a desired gain. It is not actually good to rely on strategies and luck when betting. Gambling should only be for fun and excitement and nothing should be put to serious where it can make a negative impact on a gambler. As we observe those who were truly became addicted to gamble are mostly having debts due to their activities. It is not a good thing to pay debt without gaining asset or somerhing.

Which way you look at it, no bet is safe and if it is safe, it is not gambling. Gambling is about prediction that you do with the sacrifice of money which might be earned with additional profit Ir total lose of capital. Some lower odds do lose out and I'm sure since op started going for lower odds, he won't boost of not loosing a game with lower odds since after he discovered to bet for lower odd games.

you are right. For my perception, if you treat gambling just like a game, then it hasn’t any bad side or side effect. But if you take it seriously, and become addicted. It is bad for yourself, your family and your society too. Because the senses of an addicted person do not work properly. He quickly became involved in various crimes. So, just take gambling as a fun or game. Don't be addicted on it. It causes mental stress too.

Gambling never has protection.  Don't gamble if you think about safety.  There is always the risk of gambling and that is the eternal truth.  If you are afraid to take risks, do not look back.  There are many strategies in betting.  My strategy here is to have the highest idea about the team you bet on or the game you bet on.  Otherwise you would never have won the bet.

Those who come to gamble know about the risks. They know they can lose all their money here but they still gamble. Some people gamble for entertainment and some people gamble for big money. Everyone has different thoughts.

In sports betting, of course, it is important to do good research about the team and to know how much the team is capable of. But many times it is seen that the game is lost despite the fact that there is a strong team, so if you want to bet on sports, you have to be ready to see all the conditions.

A very severe mental stress on where you do got to the point on where your decision making factor is highly affected and these causes careless actions which would really lead

into more severe problem.Dont let yourself get addicted if you don't like to experience hardship not only on finances but also in other aspects as well.Treat as a fun way of spending your time

and don't make it as a primary thing in life.If you do then consider yourself an addict.

Gambling outcome could really be only just having 2 neither you do lose or do won that's why its really needed for you to know on which one is the best choice and basing of with your
experience and knowledge then you can really point out which will be the best pick.

Its suicide that you do just simple bet without any analysis of a certain game.

It only looks like that this is "safer". In reality, odds like 2.5-2.9 are often win, so another side with 1.1-1.2 will lose such games. It's not enough just to look odds and bet to some outcome. You need to know a sport which you're betting on. Because sometimes books calculate odds in a weird way, so strong team will get winning odd like 2.1 and more weak - 1.2 . In that case you will lose your money pretty sure.

Knowledge is the strongest weapon and the safer way to get money in betting. Not odds

It is a good strategy but only for the short term. In gambling, no one can really say such thing as an obvious winning especially in sports betting.
As I have said, it is a good strategy but only for the short term but not considered safe since we cannot always guarantee your winning even if you bet on an obvious winner, there will always be a chance that your bet will lose. I'd rather not go with that strategy.

Odds were still odds as they're no really safe or guaranteed in gambling especially in betting. The safer is when we do know the event, the team or the players backgrounds. Odds can help in indicating the potential and can help us in determine in what event we should focus and do study on which to bet since we can still discover more about the game when we do research and identify some winning or losing points of both sides.

True, sports betting is a 50-50 situation because there are many factors to have a win on this kind of betting. There's a chance for you to have a winning streak but it's not a long-term strategy because it only works for a certain time. If we study the teams, it will give us a chance of winning but it's no guaranteed to win unless you are betting to a team that is obviously gonna win.

Experience also on the sports might help you where to bet because you knew their strategy to win the game and you have your basis which is good and bad players.

betting with small odds didn't work well with me.
I usually take small odds to multiply my mix parlay bet.
but, still lost even for a bet with 1.0X of odds.

in your case, 1.15 of odds means that you have to win 7 matches in a row before you can lose again.
I usually found a small odds on a match from "out-of-nowhere" league.
which means that the chance of match-fixing to happen on that match is high.

There's no guarantee that the stronger team will win all the time because sports is really very much unpredictable. Even the weakest teams have won over the strongest due to luck or even by playing good with strategies. I have had an experience by betting on a cricket match where the odds were 1.09 or around it, and I lost that bet and lost $100 in an instant and couldn't believe. It's okay and safe as long as it is not :P it's just like any other gambling!

I think no bet is safe. Even if you have a lot of knowledge about the teams, the prediction may go wrong because not always the stronger teams wins. Sometimes a weaker player or team do win and an upset may happen.
The betting also depends much on luck than anything else like knowledge etc.

This is the truth with sports betting, but for some reason it is always good to give importance to gather more information regarding the game before selecting the odds. Always go with games that are played between equally strengthened team. With this you get the chance of minimising the loss, even when the prediction is believed to be going on the opposite of our thoughts.

If the series is a complete one sided like in NBA where the Raptors-Nets are a one-sided then maybe it can be considered as a safe bet.

For me, still I don't see it as a safe bet because an underdog team can win against the favorite team but the chances are low though. One thing more is that, on the side of the gambler they aren't contented with the winnings they have after risking a huge amount. No bets are safe in sports betting because anything can happen.

Depends on what you mean by "no bet is safe"
The very knowledgeable/skilled bettors will likely be consistently successful/profitable bettors than unskilled bettors betting based on luck. This can be tested and proven.
I will likely be consistently profitable bettor betting on olympic sprint races (for example) if I know alot about the sprinters...which includes always gathering enough and updated data/information about them. I believe same is obtainable in football betting.

Whether or not a place to bet is safe depends on intelligence and good research in betting, and indeed a strong team will not guarantee winning the game and the win will win and will turn things around in a good strategy and can read opponents.
Luck betting only follows your conscience which is sometimes right and you also have to accept defeat if it is wrong and have to be consistent, so it all depends on intelligence and seriousness in doing research in betting and experience.

No, how can it be safe?  We don't even know which team would win, it's just that Raptors won as they are the favorites, and favorites won most of the time.

Meaning, they don't win all the time and a possible loss is a definition that safe bet does not exist.

That's why sports betting is called a 50/50 chance of winning, because there is no safe strategy in sports betting.
Even having knowledge of the team or players who will play, does not guarantee that our bets are safe. If our luck
is bad, then choosing a strong team can make us suffer losses, because the strong team was defeated by the weak team.

The odds is also higher in the under dog team which can also be the reason why people will try to bet in them. It can also be reversed if there are mistake happen with the favorite team so any time game can be changed even how you sure you are getting no one knows if there are miracle that can be happen .

Exactly because we are just talking about chances of winning here.
An example, let's look at the odds of the Lakers vs Heat game 2  in https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/odds

as you can see, the opening was -4.5 now the line is up to -10 already and therefore the ML has also change.
Last time I checked, if you bet on hit, you will win x5 of your bet, so that's a huge return if Heat will upset the Lakers in game 2, we need some luck here.

Maybe we can make more than one strategy, so before we place the bets, we can see if the match will change or not, and if the match doesn't have any change, we can use the right strategy. Knowing much information will help us analyze or predict which team will have a bigger chance of winning. At least, we can know what we can select. But yes, no safe bet in any gambling game, which makes us careful to use the money to gamble.

Theres no safe bet where you can put it all on just one bet one game and walk away like its for sure but some teams are so consistent that you can bet them over an entire season and be sure of the win very often.   I'm not a fan of picking just favorites and following them forever, a quality team that still has doubts expressed in their odds is ideal because a favorite wont even pay much on a win which is where the danger begins from winnings not covering potential losses ie. poor value bet.    This would be foolish not safe imo but each to their own, I like low bets on under dog upset games and some would say the same of my strategy.

Through my experience I've found out that small odds does not mean a safer event. Sometimes it is quite the opposite. You end up taking more risk for a measly reward. For example, on a $100 bet on a 1.15 odds event you would only get $15, but the real odd should have been around 1.50 (there are techniques out there to determine the fair odds). So you are actually betting on a high-risk event for a measly reward.

Huh, what do you mean the real odds should have been around 1.50? I don't place bets on sport and I am no expert, but as far as I know the casino at first sets a line based on each teams previous performance. And then people start placing bets and the odds keep on fluctuating to keep the bet amount the same of both teams. If you bet on a winning team at almost the end, you will receive an extremely small amount of profit (almost negligible).
And there are no "safe bets" in any kind of gambling activities. If anyone claims they know a strategy or a place where you can gamble risk free, they are lying and trying to scam you.

It depends into someone because there are people who wont consider on betting on 1.15 and just stick out on 1.5x onwards.It isnt really that worth to risk out for a
really very small amount of profit but since these odds been set out will surely most likely to win.Some say that it isnt worth but there are really people who do
dive into this kind of odds but i agree that it isnt really that worth from time to time.Winning 7 games of 1.15 odds would really be just sweep out with a single loss.
On my part im not really a fan into these numbers.I do set out 1.7 or higher and thats the time i do consider on betting on it.

Betting on small odds is sometimes really waste of effort and time. But there are gamblers who are sticking to lower odds if they believe that they have higher chance of winning. It really depends on the game they are playing. If they are confident that they can win betting on this very low odd and not only once but many times, maybe for them, it is worth their time. So this is actually depends on the player's preference in sports betting. Everyone has their own strategy to earn from this game. But yes, not all of them (betting on low odds) can be considered a safe bet.

I do not think that a good betting pool would be those who have high odds and low adds. The best betting pool would to which the betting would be 50/50 chance of winning and that would divide the betters on their choice. If we are going to take an example of the current Game Miami and Lakers of course many will going to bet on Lakers because they had shown great performance and has high chance to win against Miami and the reward since Miami will be in high Odds of winning the pool will definitely be small enough for Miami and if Lakers will win the pool of bet from Miami will be divided accordingly to the percentage for those who bet in lakers and obviously it would be a small amount to make a profit. What if Lakers lose? Miami bets will get a huge amount of winnings.

This is why I consider a good bet is that both parties has 50/50 percent chance of winning. The betters will definitely will going to have hard time to chose between the team to bet.

Actually I have seen that Table Tennis is one game where the underdog actually wins more than the favorite player. I don't know if that happens only with me or that happens with everyone but betting on TT I have lost more than 80% bets on favorite and by favorites I mean like odds of 1.35 are never safe on table tennis. So yeah it depends what sports you bet on because in a sport like NBA you would hardly see a huge upset and likely to win more on the favorites.

Pick wisely and sports with single player like tennis table tennis are more dangerous to bet on low odds, because a single player might have a say off but it is unlikely a favorite team will suddenly have all their players having a bad day. I mean it is hard for a team to loose against a weaker opponent while much easier for a single player to loose a game.

Not only in tennis actually, all kinds of sports, 1.35 looks safe but it was never, you only have a higher chance of winning but winning is not guaranteed. I know you know that based on your experience, but for those who does not have an experience, they might find it attractive and might experiment on it.

The longer we play we get curious and will try different strategy but we will understand in the long run that risk is always present regardless what odds we pick.

There's a reason why all these bets have odds and that is because everything has a chance to go the other way. Not all games and matches have a sure outcome because all it take to create a game changing play is only one moment. You could either bet where majority of people are betting or take a risk.

Of course and the odds are being offered on an event simply means that the chances of that happening and not happening still exist. I often see that gamblers believe they have a good read on the game but no mater how good a read you have on the game you can still be wrong because if the odds are there there is a good chance you can loose.

I was watching IPL games recently and there were so many unpredictable events happening all the match that I was happy that I did not bet as I might have lost all bets I made if I had bet on the match. So, no matter how good you read and analyze a match but there is a strong possibility you can loose, yes though sometimes you get better odds than it should be so maybe if you analyze good you can make better picks but might still lose.

There's always a risk in regards to sports betting, actually not just sports betting but all type of betting including casino.
Betting with small amount only lessen the chance of you losing a big amount I think this is what you are referring as safe bets right? Just think of this.Your winning amount and your losing amount if you lose one time then it would take you 3-4 executive bets before you can recover it what if you lose within that 3-4 next bets?

ya.ya.yo!

I think it is better if you do what you are doing right now, yes the returns are low but imagine the long term benefit of safe bet, you have more winnings and your losses are winnable by playing one or two bets then compare it if you are a long time high risk betting, though the reward for all the risk is high the chances that you lose are high also because it is the unfavorable bet, basically winning once will not do you justice when you are losing twice.

Safer bets actually good if you will not do die hard betting like always likes to bet. Just imagine you bet to a certain sports where outcome is very predictable and you win but of course since the odds is lower then you will going to win small amount of it that would do already. However, in the long run as you continue to bet one loss might equivalent to all small winning you acquire from the previous bets so still no difference when you just want a safer bets vs. getting profit in it. No way in gambling that could earn profit just by doing a safe bet. This is not reliable means for earning from gambling.

I guess serious bettors would learn from experience the longer they play. Bur the problem  would be how can they learn without taking big risk... Probably with small bets, free bets or by practicing for free on some sort of dedicated free betting platform(more like demo trading)

Betting on an event with a lower odds is certainly less risky, but the profit from such a bet is much less.

In my opinion, constantly betting on events with a lower odds is quickly boring, because the pleasure of such a win is not as bright as the pleasure of a more risky bet.   

If it were me, i wouldn't bet in a low amount my minimum is 0.0001 or if im confident i go for much higher. Micro bettings in my experience will be easily taken back, once you decide to go all in or get tempted by a potential win in a sports bet.
But be cautious, to limit your spendings, so you dont get burned in the end.

If you have luck, even if you have lower odds, you can still win big because the luck will help you get bigger money. But still, not many gamblers will have luck as we know that the luck will not come to the wrong gambler.

If you feel bored because of betting with lower odds, maybe you can try to make a random bet. By doing that, you don't have to feel bored because you can set it every time you want to bets. Or maybe you can try to stop gamble for a while after you play for some rounds, so you can take a breath and drink something to refresh your mind and body.

Actually what a safe bet means depends on your definition of the word "safe". Because if you mean by safe bet that it should always win, then there is never ever a chance of that unless you have some fixed matches and know the outcome already. If safe bet means it has better higher chances of winning than the odds suggest then surely you are going in the right direction as I have often seen odds provider being poor especially on events like UFC where I have often seen that they give grapplers a lower chances while in reality grapplers win more fights than boxers and now days they pay more respect to grapplers because of the submission threat.

So, make sure what you mean by a safe bet because the term betting itself means there is always a chance to win or loose even if you blind pick a bet or you have deep knowledge it can still win or lose.

^ On my own, no betting is safe. Especially with the beginners. Betting is considered betting because of the high risk of losing your bet in the first place. No guarantee, no security. If you want to have a more secured type of ^betting (not really) but sort of, then go technical by doing trading (at least it is based on skills, not by the luck). In that place, you will be able to make your fortune still. Not that risky compared to sportsbetting. Nevertheless, I do suggest betting sites that have a promotion here or running a business here is the best gambling sites you have chosen, the community will tag them as a scam if they have fishy activity.

In betting, I do not the word 'safe bets' actually exist. This is because a safe bet's probability of winning should be nothing less than 1, which means it is certain to be a win. Any thing other than that makes it an unsafe bet so to say.
Betting on these pretty sure games with very low odds might be safe and profitable in the short term but devastating with just one loss incurred. With such low odds, even if you make a win five times in a row, just a loss the sixth time would make you lose even more than you've made in those five wins.

You are right because it hasn't been stated nor clarified about on the word "safe" yet it can be classified into two things which one do talks about guaranteed win and one will be indicating about higher chance of winning even though its not completely safe due to risk of losing but it can be considered out.

Safe bets or 100% win does really exist on fixed matches where we know that these informations cant really be attained or known by average bettors but on general theres no such thing
about thinking to be on the safe side once you do really involved with gambling.

People do still think that they can make theirselves rich into this industry but once reality slapped up their faces then they would really have that different input.

this is a good rational for thinking gambling.
it has a lot of crossing with risk management thinking.

e.g:
you can only afford to loose 100% of a bet if it totals a max of 1-3% of your portifolio.

We do all know that and you're right that there are still some gamblers whom do really love on sticking out on very low odds with much money that had been risk for such kind of low gains.
This is indeed profitable and you can hit up 2x on capital with several wins but you should know the fact that one loss will really wipe out everything will really be a useless run you had
since you gain nothing or the worst you are still on negative.We do have indeed our own ways because this might not work on others but for some it did really give out some profitability.
It all matters on how you do deal with the game and making smart bets according to your knowledge and capacity.You should not think about on the safe side because when we are
on this field then this safe where people everybody talking is really less.

Yep, no way to be secure in sports betting, the risk is always there whatever you do. For me, betting in sports is likely to rely on your luck rather than use skills. Luck based game in gambling is a high risk, the chance to win is very small. Not only beginners but even experienced people also have a big risk to join sports betting. I don't see a way to improve your chance to win in betting. 

The 'safest bet' is to be a market maker on a betting exchange such as Betfair or Degens and effectively be the bookie.

You offer odds of -108 on a spread, and that means you will be receiving +108 on what is effectively a coin flip.

No knowledge of sports is needed as you just use the prevailing odds in Vegas etc.

As we know that no betting is safe, it is better to save money because we can not lose all of the money for just betting. Betting in sports is fun, but if you lose your money, that will not be fun anymore because you can not place the bet again. The beginners must know about that, and they must learn from other people's mistakes to prevent the losses. When we don't have a chance to win, we might better stop gambling.

Ofcourse. We live in a World of uncertainty. Nothing is 100% safe without GOD... HE alone can make things safe or help us make things safe.
If betting sites are developed the right way, with the right rules and people follow the rules and bet right, risk will be lessened and safety increased.
Betting have good purposes. Abusing it is the problem

Abusing a gambling site is like only abusing yourself as they'll never lose unless you find a leaked of their program that you can take advantage of, but that was only stealing to team as in reality in fair game, you'll never win due to the fact that they have a house edge.

The question is, can you abuse a gambling site? It is not even possible. If you are on a very long winning streak, it does not mean you are already getting the better of the site. It does not actually happen. The truth is that you are just lucky. In the long run, the house edge will always prevail. So in a way there really is no safe bet.  

This is only Possible from those newly created gambling sites in which the Bugs is still un noticed and they are being found out soon but there are already abused happen and if i am not mistaken Roobet and some sites here experienced this also.

But those existing campaign for long?the very moment that there is a  leakages for sure there are notification that will comes out to make action regarding those issue and fxed.

People know that and the thing that excites them more is taking on that risks and winning against those risks is something great to them. There are those that could bet as long as he can and still not get addicted to gambling, and I know, even if we are truly picking those higher odds thinking that it could be a safe bet, it is still a risk, people are still enjoying that.

Nothing can be said "safe" in betting. When you enter the world of gambling or betting, we should already know the risks that can be obtained. This might be very difficult if we always win continuously or expect "safe betting".
This may affect our thinking and our readiness to be at Betting. If we lose then we may not be ready and will fall.

Maybe that is right. People willing to take the risk will try to play on those games. They know the chance to win will not be bigger, but they can accept that. Instead, thinking about losing or winning can make them confused. They are trying to enjoy the games. As long as people can enjoy and have fun, it will be no problem for them if, somehow, they lose their money because that is part of the gambling which they can accept.

those are typical gamblers and they know it happens all the time,they can win or lose so that is normal.
the problem is for those addicted gamblers in which tend to chase losses and the outcome is really bad.
But about sports betting?of course they are legit and trustworthy though there are issues of Fix matches that is very rare to happen and not that what gambling is all about.

Fix matches is sometimes the problem in sports betting for them to gain more audience and profit, that is why sports bettor commonly lose if the game that they bet on is a fix game. But winning and losing is indeed normal for every gambler, so you don't need to feel bad to yourself when you lose, and don't try push yourself to recover all of your losses because it would only lead you to addiction and greediness.

Yeah, I hope they are all enjoying their bets instead of hoping that it could give them huge profits that would make them rich or wealthy in the next few years if they continued doing that. Atleast if they are enjoying their bets, even if they are taking those high odds or low odds, the results won't  give them that negative reactions or emotion.

Actually he is talking about bets on low odds sometime feel like safe bets or higher chances of winning than the odds suggest. I was watching Lakers vs Heat game 3 and I felt like it should be a cakewalk for Lakers but how Heat won surprised me and the odds must be something like 1.15 or something on Lakers and they lost. these kind of bets must feel like safe bets but I mean there is always a chance of loosing like here Lakers lost so no bet in sports betting is safe at all.

There are times in e-sports betting when I feel the odds are actually wrong and there is a better chance of winning on higher odds like a team falling behind on T side on Nuke can easily comeback in CT side while odds provider might not consider it.

Have fun when you can win bet with your own strategy and don't spend more than we can accept when we lose. I think this is the best way to avoid the problem that gambling creates. Forcing yourself to get back the money we spent before is the wrong choice because many people never really succeed and it ends with a big zero.
Regarding strategy, we can maximize the chances of winning bets just because of strategy, but still not all of the strategies we use will be forever profitable in the long run and whatever it is we still need luck.

It seems that when enjoying the game or betting they like, losing is not a problem for them because they will win in the fun they enjoy betting.
but most of them limit their betting capital and play it casually and not get carried away by emotions and only rely on luck without the ambition to win.

Of course. As long as the gamblers can manage their money, they will not face a big loss in any gambling game. We know that chasing the losses will give a bad result for us, but we still see many gamblers do that, and they another big loss. That will happen too in the sports betting.

Gambling can make them get huge profits if they have the right selection for the team or players. But they should remember that every gambling game needs to have luck, and they can not depend on just the analysis because they need to know if they have luck or not have luck. So it is better to enjoy the games instead of chasing the profit.

If we are talking about "Safe Bets" as in safe without cheat or scam then there are lots of gambling sites or even in real life gambling that offers this because we are talking about Sports Betting here and not those Luck based games mate.

But if 'Safe Bets' in terms of none losing?then that is very impossible because gambling is risky and no assurance though it highers your chances when sports bet is the case.

When I'm always confident with the team are playing I all in most of my bets this gives me a good gut to get a large amount of money. In sports, there is no truly safe betting you don't know the potential of the other players and the whole team.
Sometimes underdogs make a miracle.
If you think if both teams are good its better to choose wisely which team will go possibly win.
If you already know is the winner why not make a large bet

There are different players or bettors
The play safe or risk-takers well if you risk more the higher the income.

Safe bets are bet with high probability of wins. That doesn't mean the team can't still not lose and when they do, you end up losing more money than you have won. This is not rocket science, it is natural phenomenon and that is more reason to also analyze bet based on some factors such as injuries, formations, players available for selections, referee etc.

There are some bettors are stating that "this team will win for sure", "Nah this team", "trust me its 100 percent sure they will win this game". These statements are common in sports betting we cannot underestimate the skills and the strategy of other teams sometimes they made history gameplay that we called as the comeback, you can't tell or call too early a defeat once the game still ongoing, I experience this on the NBA Finals with the Golden state warriors they made an amazing comeback on the finals.

True. We need a mental reminder for all gamblers out there that gambling is only for fun, and not for making a quick buck or anything. Sports betting is there mostly because they want to add a twist to people who enjoy watching sports. It's like that twist players get when playing games, they can buy DLC packs to up their character's appearance or something like that.

Most match-fixing can easily be seen, the people watching can easily see any foul play made either by the ref or the players after all. Only when they played it close would it even qualify, and even then, most people would still doubt the results so I guess you cans ay that match-fixing would be on the minority. Also, there isn't anything of the sort like recovering losses in gambling imo, you're only adding loses atop your losses if you try to do it.

That is the same with some bettors right now. There are a lot of them that is thinking that LA Lakers would be able to take the win that easy without any resistance from Miami Heat but there are a lot of proof that they can still play and also wanted to claim the championship. I've lost some money to my cousin since I thought Miami could win in game 1 and 2, then I bet on LA at game 3. I can't actually tell who will win since this is the Finals, game 4 and game 5 is the ones I got right though.

Today I think no one will believe to a safe bet on gambling because if you are playing gambling it's full of risk it depends on you how you lessen the risk but you cannot avoid losing your wage.
In sports betting if you don't want to lose you need to have a deep knowledge how does it comes if you are confident to your team or not. Wage or doubt it's all of your choice better make sure to earn or to play safe.

Having a deep understanding of the sport is necessary but gambling is a bit tricky as you need to follow everything about them including any injuries they are having coming into a game and if it is a team sport what team they are using and their injury situation and so on. We have seen many upsets in the past one month in different sports and no one could predicted looking at the squad that they would loose but there were many upsets and hence anything is possible and there is no safe bet in sports.

Final comeback won't happen with every match, and that's the reason why people always makevery early statements with cent percent accuracy. Yes, we don't know when scenario will change and for that we can't go completely against the odds. This is the reason why it is mentioned to have luck to win with gambling than just having deep knowledge.

Anyone who speaks with confidence about a particular outcome is not a professional analyst. The results lie in a certain range of probabilities and sometimes unlikely events happen - as you correctly noted, comebacks and other things that break the course of the game and the expectations of the crowd.

Gambling is risky and it will never be safe even there are people who will tell you who to bet and where and when to bet since it's also risky to trust someone, whenever I opt to bet and some friends tells me where to bet I also make sure that they will bet also like where all on this. It's good to have friends to discuss betting since there are no really safe bet since it's a game whether we will win or not. And if ever there are casinos who do this sooner or later they will be discover and penalised.

Low odd games are safe compared to high odds and the rewards will also be respective to the risks involving, yes low odd is some kind of safe but even you still can lose that bet too often so the net profits will be in negative if you go with this strategy.

If people are your friend who you know, you can trust him because he won't lie to you. But if that person is not even your friend, you better be careful because we don't know him. Gambling is risky, I agree on that, but we can minimize the risk by playing with little money, whether you gamble on the sports betting or other gambling games. You only need to prevent the big loss that can come anytime, and the only thing you can do is limit your money to be used to gamble. There are no safe bets if we don't know how to manage our gambling because we can lose that money in the next rounds.

In my view, even we are have a closed friends, I can't trust him if it related with our asset, money and privacy. We never know people working in behind any crime such as scam project or scam gambling. You are trust your friend because never lie, but how if he one of scammers person for you in the future because he knows how many your money on gambling sites. In other things yes we can trust him, but if about gambling, asset and other related with money or crypto, be careful because he can turn as something else anytime. It will better you take a risk from gambling because of your self and your decision. So, when you lose or lost asset, it because of your self not because other people who reccommend the wrong services.

A tip from a friend is usually just his interpretation of the possible outcome. He might have some more insights than us but there is still uncertainty involved and his predictions might be wrong. It is very hard to find a completely safe bet. Just look at game Barcelona playing Logrono today, the odds are 1.01 against 100. Your payout on this 99% sure game is very small and you still have the tail risk of Logrono winning. Unfortunately there is no free lunch out there. The reward on these seemingly safe bets are just too low in my opinion of running a risk to lose it all.

A true friend will never give a bad suggestion or cheat us. that is what I got from my dad. But yes, if that is related to our asset, money, and privacy, our friend's suggestion is for our consideration about making decisions. The final result will be ours, and they can't interfere with it, but they will support us in any situation and conditions.

If that is about making a safe bet, we can use tips from our friends, but once again, we need to search for ourselves, which we want. And we can get additional info from them that can be useful for us. But that will depend on you if you are hard to trust a friend. We know what a meaning a friend to us.

I don't think thats the real case mate because even High or Low odds are the same in the world of gambling Not unless in Sportsbetting in which the odds are bigger is the higher the chance to win.
Just play with joy and that is enough,we pay watching Movies to enjoy and be happy so what is the difference when playing gamble?

Sports betting odds is not measure by the chances of winning mathematically, the odds are created by the bookmakers based on people's perception and that made it different from other type of games which we called a luck based type of games.

Sport betting is not really for someone to get entertained or at least in the reality, they are looking to win the match.Higher odds means the winning amount from the total total pool will be higher and it goes other side for the lower odd games.Still there is no assurance about winning the games not matter what are the odds but still its good to choose lower for safe amd not going to be profitable while high has risk along with better rewards.

I think I would bet abit higher on bets I am more sure about after doing my thorough analysis/research on matches I want to bet on. This should increase my chances of winning the bets with higher amount, and compassate for losing the bets with lower amounts and lower chances of winning.

That is just it, gambling is just luck, a small team can defeat a mighty giant team but with a very tiny probability, this is common in sport betting. I have used betting to have fun before, I have staked 1.01 and 1.02 odds before and lost, I have staked on big clubs to win a very small club before and lost. There is not sure game in betting until what you staked is won.

Make more sense because higher the probably of wining the match means betting more in that match is good option as based on your research and facts quite possible that teams or players will win it. So placing the bets on such games increases the chances of winning then placing bet on any unknown games. In the end just need to ensure that we do not put everything in one bet and only bet with amount which we can lose too will be fine.

But even betting on lower odds does not guarantee you profits all the time because while lower odds obviously feels like they must win more often than not but there is always a chance of loosing and the house edge will kill you if you actually bet on low odds.

True and it is like rolling dice and feeling safe that you would win on 90% win chance, yes you will win 80-90 times in 100 bets but the 10-20 times you loose will make sure that you are always in loss. Specially in sports betting the house edge is so critically high that you cannot make profits in long run on low odds unless you are just superiorly lucky for a long time.

To be honest, I have used that method in the past but in reality it would be a waste of time and still, there is no safest way to bet. I am a parlay enthusiast and when at that time I was frustrated because I kept getting losing streaks from high odds, then in the end I just made a parlay with odds around 1.12 or like the lowest odds in every match I put in the parlay. But what happened still, there was at least one match that made me unlucky, whereas I only bet with the lowest odds but the result still lost. With that experience I no longer look for the lowest odds for a bet, because in gambling it would be better for us to try to get the best odds, because then only luck will make us profit from gambling.

No there's no such thing as safe bets once you placed a bet you already take it to risk. Even if you bet in a small amount and winning in long run you will still lose and you will take you longer to recover that losing bet and while trying to recover it by placing bets on lower odds there's still a chance that you will lose again. So the risk never stops in betting either sports betting or casino.

Of course there is no safe bets here, we can increase or decrease the chance but not for 100% sure with any least odds.High odds betting are still risky but people are still making money out of soort betting through deep analysis and fund management which is more important to feel successful than simply looking at the odds of the game.

Yes, betting on sports only relying on low odds basically still won't guarantee you will win easily, because there will be time for you to get bad luck.
Below are the bets made last night, look what happened. I made a mistake in only one game which is basically low odds, because the other odds are at least higher, with one game losing clearly, my parlay bet is ruined just because there is one game with low odds. I have experienced this kind of incident often and therefore I say, betting on sports will be better to get the best odds, not about the lowest or the highest because the result will be determined by the luck factor you have.
https://i.imgur.com/TGfn7QB.png

But if you will continue to do the same by relying on low odds, I really appreciate it because you have a lot of patience.

That was a parlay bet, honestly, it's hard to win a parlay bet especially if you are putting a lot of combination in the game, they called it a sucker bet as most likely our bet will just not gonna hit and it's like us giving money to the sportsbook.

It is a delusion to think that everything in this express train was correct, and only one mistake ruined everything. You can look at it the other way: "failure" had several attempts with poor chances, but due to the number of attempts the goal was achieved. It's the same as when you flip several coins at the same time - the chance that everyone will get heads is small, but if you continue to flip this event will happen.

I'm sorry but even if you are a very good forecaster, winning all those bets at the same time is really hard, that's why the total odd was so high. It would have been very surprising if you've won in fact.

Yeah, but I must say some markets offer better odds than the possibility of happening. Technical analysis might help you grab the best odds and eliminate house edge or even turn it in your favor. I give an example, recently when Naomi Osaka withdrew from US open the markets wouldn't update as fast and one can bet on her opponent to reach finals and get great odds. I know she then decided to play the US open and actually won the tournament but there are many such instances where one can take benefit and defy odds.

Such bets can be called as safe bets because the opponent withdrew and there is no possible way to lose the bet and in worst case the sportsbook will just cancel the bet and refund which is never a problem since you don't lose anything.

Any bettor with sufficient information and acting on it will have better chances of winning than bettors without sufficient information. This is basically what reduces the risk for the skilled/successful bettor. And it applies in many areas of our life. The most prepare or informed will do better than the unformed/less-prepared.

Even if the market offers better odds, that doesn't mean we can win easily because we need to think about the possibility that might happen in the middle of the game. The analysis can be wrong, and there is no guarantee that we can win for that.

But remember that the technical analysis can not always help you grab the opportunity to win, and maybe we need other strategies to be applied if the situations change. But the risk will always be there, so be careful.

It is all about chances but not really like being safe,

In sports there are good team or player and that we could compare their playing capabilities. There are those times that we can say that a match has high chances for this team or player to win. So, it safe to bet with them. However, there is a chance that bet will going to lose and that will make you surprises like you will going to lose in the bet and that will dissapoint you.

And yet we can't decline such a 50/50 winning and losing probability especially when two great teams are playing. And during that time we probably put our bet to our favorite team. Losing couldn't be really disappointing because for me the most important is I enjoyed watching them, doing their best on the floor but they are so unlucky to win the game.

That it makes me feel and think that gambling has no chances to be safe. No single day we think that we've got a hundred percent assurance of winning, definitely not.

For me i bet theres is no such any safe bets in sports, it is somewhat depending on a high chance and having all depend upon the luck. Sports betting don't have any  assurance of what team will going to be a winner because sometimes even the stongest team with strongest player end failure in a game. So this only mean that sports betting were risky also, a 50/50 chance of winning or losing in such a sports bet no assurance of how you going to win the game.

Hard to say that, but I don't think that is a safe bet because that team or player can lose in the game. But maybe you can minimize your bet amount, so if that team or player lose, you will not lose too big money, and that is a safe bet for me ;D

The chance to lose in the big will be there, and as we see that the situations in the field can change without we want. The smart bettor will not just place the bet without thinking about the risk behind the game.

I dont think safe bets were suitable in a world of gambling or even in a world if sports betting. We can't tell what team were going to win because both team has their own respective strong player that they are confident to put on the game. Safe bets would only possible if and even if a game were fixed game, where you already know that the team that you,'re going to bet were going to win for sure, here you can assure that you will going to win.

Remind me of such situations in sports when you know exactly which team/player will win? Even in boxing, due to accidental strikes, topboxers sometimes lose to weaker opponents. The situation is similar in any sport.
In addition, if the result of the match is known in advance, the bookmaker simply will not accept bets on it.

You're right but if you use some kind of arbitrages between sportsbooks you can find surebets. So it means that's possible to beat the bookmakers even on the long run.

In sports betting, everything is safe, only winning and losing. If you're using a strategy like @OP, then that's a strategy I use often too. Because in sports betting, of course anything can happen, and big teams can also lose. But choosing a big team has a greater chance, it's just that the payout is smaller.

surebets are often with low odds since it's hard find a big difference between two bookmakers.
you should follow a lot of websites, with funds loaded in. Isn't easy to manage.

Safe bets ... like this one ;D tennis, wta, 6-0 / 4-0 --->> 4-6 0-6 !

Now, I remember again the fight between Lomanchenko and Lopez. The sportsbooks were favouring Loma and a lot were betting on him to be the winner. But it was Lopez who won inside the ring. So even if you have the notion about who will win, still you can't be 100% sure. So I really don't think there are safe bets in sports betting. Your chance of winning may be high if you very well know the sport but still you can't say you are 100% right about your bets.

Arbitrage also have risk, not for the bets itself but how the sports house treat this kind of strategy.

If the house suspects that you are dealing with this kind of strategy the chance that they will block you and you won't be able to get your money, though most of those gamblers who used this strategy also acknowledge the risk so finding good sites and keep being under the radar is also part of the research to conduct.

You are absolutely right, there is no truly safe bets in sports betting. As you said almost all sportsbooks pick Lomachenko who will win the fight,
but the result surprised Lopez who managed to win. And that costs a lot of gamblers. It happens in all sports, not only in boxing. So that's what
makes gambling interesting, because there is no certainty that we will win, in gambling luck is important.

There are really no saafe bets in sports but if you really want to do sports gambling then you have to use the most recommended so that you can minimize the risk of your betting. If you still lose on the most recommended then you need to accept it because not all the time you will win in gambling because even if the ratio of losing is very low, there are still a chance. If you can have a perfect ratio of winning then you won't earn a lot. Risk taking is the best way to earn with gambling.

No, sometimes bookmakers return bets made on a match with odds 1. This is the actual cancellation of accepted bets, this is a rare event, but it happens (usually when there is a suspicion of the fairness of the game). Plus, in some sports, a draw happens even when it's rare there, like in boxing.

Odds 1? I don't get it, I don't see that kind of odds because it's like betting without winning, and too risky on your part as you could lose your bet.

Can you enlighten me what you meant by that?

If the match is canceled or the bookmaker has good reason to believe that the match was unfair, he has the right to return all bets with odds 1 - i.e. cancel the bet. Read the rules of any bookmaker - it is written there.


Usually there is a return of the bet (or in other words, payment with odds 1). Better doesn't lose anything here. In this case, the bookmakers act honestly.

Gambling by definition is an activity in which you are taking a risk in order to try to obtain a benefit and when thought about it in this way then it should be painfully obvious there is no such thing as a safe bet, even something like arbitrage is not completely safe as there are many instances in which you can still lose, for example casinos could have different rulings when it comes to certain aspects of the game, this is very common in tennis or horse racing, or the odds could change before you can place your bet and suddenly the arbitraging opportunity disappeared.

Bookies all has the right to do that because it's their rule, but would they do that if not on their favor? just wondering as I've seen this kind of concern in the past but I didn't see a post where bookies cancelled the bets and return the money, even if users lose.

When it comes to Gambling we can always found by definition the word risky and theres no such thing as safe bet in gambling. Gambling was 50/50 probability of chance of losing and winning. Let's always keep in mind that we should only bet what we can afford to lose and of course always consider on how would you cope up when you lose in sports betting. Each sports betting has their own kind of risk like casinos and even team sports betting

To my opinion there is no risk free gambling and sports betting isn't exception. Some knowledge and experience with sport you bet on might be helpful but there is no guarantee you will be loss free. If you want to gamble you also need to be willing to accept certain amount of risk, even if you bet on very small amounts.

Yeah, I'd say they are as safe as they seem but again it's definitely not guaranteed and it's just a game of probability and because of that some of it is decided by pure luck, so at the end of the day no matter how much it is likely that a team wins a game there is still a possibility that the other team wins.

So for example if we say there is 90% chance that team A wins and 10% that team B wins based on the history of their previous matches against each other and you bet on the team A because of the better odds you can still get unlucky and bet on team B losing while it is one of those few matches that team B wins and you lose the bet, so still luck is an important factor no matter what and by betting on better winning odds you can only minimize the importance of luck and possibility of losing the bet but you can not remove them completely from equation.

I also tried a low odds bet strategy after losing streak bets on higher odds. The result is not the same, but when you lose only 1 game, you need to bet higher to recover the losing bet. Right now, I'm not betting base on odds. I'll make sure that I analyze both teams and who has the advantage before betting.

There are no safe bets with lower odds or higher odds. There's a possibility to lose in any bet, so bet only the amount you can afford to lose.

Lower odds always seem promising and to a large extent assures bettors of a possibility of the game ending in a win for the big team but in reality, small odds are just as risky as the big odds. Especially when the leagues are at certain points like closure, when the team is at the top of the table and surely have lots of points ahead of other teams, have some other close by important or supposed difficult game to play especially within the international club categories, when the mid tier team has lost too much games, are within the relegation zone, when the both teams share a history and more of things like that. It makes a low odd expectancy match more difficult. One team can't keep on winning or losing.

Many people know about the risk of playing gambling, but many people are still playing games without thinking much if they lose too much money. If people know how much money they should use in gambling, they will not use too much to expect to get a win. For example, they will only use less than $50 to playing gambling, and before the money is gone, they will stop gamble to avoid losing that $50. So their safe bet will be less than $50.

Many were get into gambling because they neglected to see the risk behind because they are much focusing on winning which is only at 50/50 chances. I don't get mad at those who think that way because it was their choice. Besides, too many times that they suffered losses but then, they still come back and lose again. It never changes their mind because of one reason, and that is to win the jackpot.

I was trying to make money from soccer in the past and had some success with the 2-up method. Where you could make small amounts of profit from in-play betting when one team was more than two goals ahead of the other team. The chances of a team winning from 2 behind, at half time, are below 5% and if you can find bets where the maths makes sense then it is possible. I only tried this on a small scale and it worked, however I stopped following the rules and lost it all. It's like online poker really - a real grind trying to find worthwhile games and the few times you lose (variation) can be very disheartening. I wouldn't say it was "truly safe" but it's possible to work out a system and pull in some money.

If the motivation is not winning, then what it is? Following the tips by pro gamblers can increase the odds of winning, luck beats the hard skills in gambling. Even having a 50% chance is not a small chance, trying harder and pushing your limits can work in short term. Hit and run strategy is my best viewpoint in this case because after winning big amounts gamblers should avoid gambling for a long time. Not rocket science, don't chase the Jackpot or chase the losses, instead of focusing on how to increase the capital.

I've already tried this when I was gambling but still didn't work. Always know that gambling is all about luck, even if you play safe there's still a chance you will lose.
Think of this, in video games there is something called rng or random number generator where it is an algorithm that produces random numbers.
Let's compare it on your sports betting, what if you have 0.5% of chance to lose occurred on those games.
Even if you try to recover it on many games, how many bets do you think will it take with that strategy?

That is why it is called Gambling because "To Gamble" meaning no assurance at all,either win or lose?it is your responsibility to manage both winning and losing.
In this part the gambling site has larger percent of taking our money that is why no one beats the house.
0.5% chances losing?nope maybe it is 80%
Never try to recover losses thats the golden rules in gambling,because the more you chase to win is the more chances you are losing.

Gambling or sports betting name it in two but theres no difference that they were risky to try on. Your fate lies on your hand and in your own decision. I bet that each and everyone knows how risky the gambling is and what you can lose when you were going to engaged into.  So there is no such a safe bet thingy in gambling or sports betting. You would either win or lose, but you will never know what gambling and sport betting was if ever you won't try it.

The same scenario also happened to me that it doesn't work for me on my end. Sometimes I got the win and sometimes I lost. I know it is the features of the game and gamble. But I have also a strategy that I follow mostly. I am comfortable doing anything which is in my comfort zone. In gambling, I am much more comfortable like you that is betting on odds 1.90 and above. Otherwise, I skip.

If those people only focused on winning, I am sure that they will be disappointed because winning in the gambling games will not easy. That can make them confuse and curious if they lose their money. We can not blame people who think like that because they are free to think that, and we can only let them get that experience, so they can realize that it is difficult to win the gambling games. If they can learn from that lesson, I am sure that they will realize that spending too much money on gambling will not worth the risk.

Why not? what would you focus when in gambling? Your intention is surely to win, come one.

Maybe you think gamblers just want to have fun, yes, it could be through but we can't deny that every gambler wants to win, whether small or big bet.
Let's be realistic here, we focus on winning but we stay responsible when gambling, that way gambling will not destroy our lives even if we lose.

This is proven and I have proven it the hard way, it took me a lot of losses before I realize that this saying is true and you cannot go against it, almost impossible to go against it, experience is the best teacher and I have proven it but sad to say it's on gambling, those who are into gambling make it your mantra and you will not go astray.

Many experience this it's because the more we eager to get back those losses the more urge to bet more that's why it's never advisable and better stop at the moment if we encounter such hard losses at this time. Then play again on the next day since our mind is fresh and stress from past lose will  subside.

There are many sports betting which are well safe than any other bet. All you need keep gambling because real team that will win is not know by their look some times but by their quality of the product can make your bet  Safe easily when you know what you are doing in the gambling center.
Many that are about to play right now which you can only identify the sure bet with the players of the team.

The very moment you learn how to control this emotion will be the turning point of your gambling career. Not easy as it is since the nature of every gamblers are to seek and tried to recover their losses.

But once you get it and start limiting yourself, managing your gambling activities would be more easier for you. There's no sure bet but there's information that you can collect around and use it as a good basis to bring much bigger chance of winning.

True, however there is something called safe bets in which theoretically there is no risk of losing money at all with sports bets, however I do not like that name at all because it makes the implication there is no way to lose money with those bets and that is not true, there are many ways to lose money with those bets so there is still a risk and you need to factor that risk when you make your bets otherwise a bet that you consider should be a win could be a loss and taking into account the small profits you can get with those bets then getting that single loss can be enough to set you back significantly.

This happens only when you just play to win , but if you end up playing for fun then you would not be much worried about your loss as you had already estimated that you may lose it and not always win , so playing to recovery reduces in such instances .

I think all gambling has its respective risks that we have to face to get a profit, even though no one guarantees the benefits that can be obtained, but when betting on sports we are a little safer because we can see the performance of the team that is competing so it can be a little predict the outcome.

I think they will not look "profitable or not profitable" to apply this rule, since any application of this rule is disadvantageous for bookmakers (players' frustration) and this is done in emergency cases. Bookmakers' earnings consist in other activities and bookmakers are not interested in one-time "cheating" of players.

there is nothing safe in sportsbetting, you can try and bet on odds @1.2 or less, you can win a lot of them, but it won't work for the long term
i've been gambling for 5 years on sports and i can assure you that there is no guaranteed bets, you can lose at any time
at the end of the day, it also has to do with luck, that's what gambling is based on, through out my 5 years journey, i even started
to have doubts that sports are rigged, and i believe some of them are for sure rigged.

Even to bet with those odds, you can't be sure that they will win. In sports betting it's not actually the bettors luck but it's those players that you are betting in a certain game.
Like in basketball, there are lucky moves that were unexpected to get in to the basket and which made the opposing team to win and made the crowd favorite team to lose.

Favorites or underdog, we only choose which team and they have a corresponding betting odds.

We should not be confuse and we should learn more, not because the team is favored they will win all the time but even though they win most of the time but you are only getting 1.20 per bet, you need to win 5 games in order to break even for one lose, which I don't think it's wise to do, it looks easy but @Rabi3  is correct, the problem is in the long term.

Winning mindset is not enough in gambling because there is no such thing safe in the gambling industry, yes you can easily double your funds if you are too lucky but you can also lose it in just once if you did a bad bet. Sports betting is not just about luck, there are skills needed to it in order to be profitable but there is no such 100% win rate there because we are dealing with probabilities and a lot of unexpected scenarios that may happen. The risks are too high in gambling but we can manage it especially when it comes to the right amount that should be bet or use in playing some gambling games. There are a lot of people who suffered huge losses in gambling not just because they are unlucky but because of their poor risk management.

Playing gambling is very unpredictable. Maybe today you may experience winning streaks but tomorrow you may experience lose streaks. It's not about how long you are playing, it's not about how big is your bet or how strategic you are, it's all about fate and luck because when you play there always fifty fifty chances of winning and you can never be sure of it.

The Bledisloe Cup was a safe bet for the Kiwi's to win retain...

Another pseudo "safe" bet will be the upcoming State of Origin Rugby League series with the Brisbane Broncos attaining the wooden spoon this year (and the rest of the Queensland Cup Sides excluded from selection) it makes for a very one sided three match series.

If you are into gambling, don't expect that you will win every time you will bet. Always, on the conservative side and that means, you are ready to accept the results, whether you lose or you win. And yes, with house edge, their advantage is on the casino. And also, in terms of bets, there's really no safe bets in my opinion, only higher chance of winning if you know the sport by heart. But still you have no 100% assurance that you will win the game.

Safe bets yes, match fixing should be safe, but that is not something you wanna do.

And if you look for safe bets, it really depends on what you definition of the word safe is, basically no bet is safe that is why it is a bet :)

Bet with most chances are 1.01 but then you have to make a lot of bets to get a profit and hope you wont get hit.

This is 100% safe but only 1% chance of finding this information.

Safe bets in reality does not exist in sports betting, you can claim or convince yourself that your bet is safe but it still does not guarantee a win.
We are the only one thinking it's safe, but if we open our eyes and be realistic, we will know the sad truth.

I certainly agree with you. I've done the same kind of experiment as well and I could say that there's really no guarantee of winning. I worked once but I lost more than my winnings. I think it's another way to trick us. After all, gambling is still gambling and I could say that there's no such thing as safe betting.

Many articles have already been written about it, of course. It is also important that you get enough value for a bet.
Sometimes you see that the odds are too low for what it should be, then you are hurting yourself before the match has even started.
I think that ultimately no strategy is safe, the only thing that is safe for you to choose the right strategy for your bankroll management.

ya.ya.yo!

It's really a good way for the house to get more gamblers to parlays there bets, lucky one will get huge cash while those who are not will go back and try another time.

Just the same gambling always gambling win or lose you have to assess if you have a good chance or you need to quit.

Safe bets if exist everyone will go for it, But it's not at all, there's always chances
That everything will be wreck even youThink you are already sure with your pick.

If it is considered a strategy to be objective and focused on the statistics, standings, playing capacity, etc, then it is one thing that you could actually use for the long term. That's for sports betting of course. That cannot be used for random or luck-based games.

The heart should not be given a central role in gambling. It is either that or you will not gain a positive net in it.

That will be the advantage when you are in sports betting, you can maximize your knowledge and that winning mindset could be still unlikely we are in a pure luck based games. However, it is not a way to think about safe bets, nothing really it exist in gambling. That is the reason whya we have that 50/50 chances both winning and losing. If we consider gambling as a main source if income, we are absolutely wrong with that assumption.

Sports betting have an advantage against someone playing pure luck-based games like slots etc. In sports you know the team/players and their current form, overall dynamics of the game and opposition as well. So if you have done the research well than chances of winning is higher. Though there is always a surprise element could pop in the game and might not turn the way you want it, but overall you are better in sports provided you know on whom you are betting.

We need to know that gambling has two results, win and lose. If we know what to do and how we should treat gambling, we will not break our limits, and we only want to enjoy the games. We need to know how much money we should use so that we can avoid a big loss. That will be the safe bets that we can do related to gambling games because gambling will get our money.

I agree, the only real safe bet would be a fixed match, but that is illegal and brings in other forms of risk. What if people find out the match gets forfit? All the money could be seized by authorities from the bookmaker. In my opinion betting on fixed matches is too risky. Better to spread  out risk across multiple bets and get lucky.

it's all about luck, i used to bet on odds at 1.01 and lost when i used to bet on directbet if you remember it, they were making
tournaments to win prizes, the one with the most profit wins, but you have to make a minimum of 50 bets i guess, and i was betting on 1.01 odds
and guess what, i lost like 2 out of 10, no matter how low the odds are, you can lose, there is no safe bet.

If we will allow the odds to trick us, we would really be trick.
We gamble, learn from mistakes and experience then we will be matured with our decision making.

Sometimes we hear someone saying the bet can't lose, that's stupid, even 1.01 odds bet could lose, so it's that does not exist.

As I was saying, I'm comfortable with odds 1.90 and above because that gives a good return and I just have to make more than I lose to obtain profit in the end.

No we are not speaking of gambling as a source of income. That is not possible. There are professional gamblers who can survive with their gambling wins but I don't believe they started from gambling funds alone and made it far only with gambling money. Even in skill based games, winning is never guaranteed and bets are still not safe either.

And this is yet one more reason why I do not like the term safe bet, safe bets as they are called are nothing more but a form of arbitrage in which you bet on all the possible outcomes of a match and due to the different odds offered at the casinos you come up ahead regardless of the results of the match, this is why some call them safe bets as in theory there is now way to lose the bet, but this is not true which is why it should be called by its true name which is arbitrage.

"Safe" shouldn't really mean "guaranteed", that is what people understand from word safe and I find it wrong.

I think safe bets should mean bets that you do not really worry about like betting on a shady website for higher odds than usual, that is not safe for example.

However if I use the same sportsbook for years and there is a game between a great team versus a bad team with carded or injured players, that should be safe enough. Nothing could ever be guaranteed, it is sports after all and I would say if you find something that is "guaranteed" you were told about it, but you could find safe as in thing that doesn't really worry you at all.

As long as you are not stressed about a bet, you should be safe, and yes 1.4 odds for a team to win is as safe as it gets if you are in a trusted sportsbook, that is all you can get at maximum.

For a fix or specific odds to call it safe, I doubt that because in my experience of betting low odds, it still does not give me a profitable result in the long run, therefore, blindly picking a team with an odds like that would not really give you a win though you are always playing in a trusted gambling site.

Well picking low odds means that you get high chances of good result which means I could think that you could profit into it. However, I also agree that it is not a guarantee to win over in the long run even if you had pick always the low odds. There are cases that low odds betting losses in a streak that means that you too will made big losses. Well, betting is not about getting profit in my opinion rather it is choice to make fun in it enjoying the sports you like and bet.

The results of each game when you play gambling is literally unpredictable so I bet that there is no Totally a safe bet because anytime you may experience to lose a game and sometimes you may win depending on how fortunate and lucky you are because if we take a look at some instances there players who are newly players but had experience a winning streak at first play so for me its a matter of luck and fate.

I think there is a very small percentage of professional gamblers who can really make for a living with gambling. And they are always at the edge because they have to risk big and there is no guarantee they will win all the time and make enough money. There is no safety and security in gambling of any kind and every gambler needs to be aware of that.

Upset will still be there as no assurance in any types of gambling, some might be rigged and it's still counts that mafias can bring something to any games around sports industries.

Can possibly happened when options around the live events gives you ideas that certain bets can possibly win, but it's as always there are some where experienced gamblers keeps eyeing on it and study the big potentials.

Believe me, it is not really safe at all. As some people said in here, there are a lot of people think the same and make bets like this. You could win like this for a couple times in a row but this could make you believe that you will win every time you play like this. After that, you may find yourself making bets with much more money than before. When you lose, you will probably lose a lot of money and you will desperately try to recover that money quickly. But it will probably make things much worse. So, my advice is that don't get too accustomed to play like this.

Matter of luck and fate is really that much of needed but we know that analysis and skills on decision making will really be having a good role on increasing up the chance
which is way more better rather than playing with those pure luck based one.Safe bets doesnt exist on real life specially when dealing with gambling thats why its called
gamble because it has the risk of losing and if gambling is way this profitable then there would be lots of gamblers are riding in lambos now yet they do able to make money on this one too
easy.People who do believe that there are safe bets in sports betting then they should remove that kind of mindset but instead they should work on how they do make
analysis into those games on where they do make out some bet.

I've read some strats that will help increase the odds of you winning regardless of whose team you are betting on. But essentially, there's no way you can predict the odds on a sporting bet. especially if it's going to be a multiple contestants game like horse race unless if the game is unfairly tipped over to one contender. But again, essentially, there is no safe bets in sports betting.

This is quite interesting, can you share more about it? I haven't read any of that in my years of experience as a gambler, is that good only for a specific type of game, or you can apply in any types?

There is no safe odds or low odds on horse racing. Most of the horse participants are sharing close odds or the low odds can still consider as risky (around 1.6).

But anyway, on whatever sports, betting at minimum 1.1 or lower is a waste of money to me.

Can't believe someone will put some amount on that odds.

I don't know what exactly he meant, but most likely these are nonsense strategies like "the top team cannot lose three matches in a row." Based on this statement, the bank is divided into three parts and bets are placed on matches. After the first defeat, the second part of the bank is used, after the second, the third part of the bank. The bottom line is that profits are meager, but even top teams sometimes lose three matches in a row ...

Just a small example from yesterday if someone still believes they can catch something by checking the odds on big bookies:
Pinnacle as one of the biggest bookmakers in the sports gambling industry has decreased the odds of 3.5 total goals in the Barcelona-Dynamo match. At 22:13 the odd was 1.63 but it has sharply gone down 20 minutes before the match. At 00:00 the odd was exactly 1.52 while the same bet was 1.56-1.65 on other bookies. Telegram betting groups have sent alerts about this "fixed bet" but the outcome has not changed. The final score was 2:1 and it is under 3.5. I just shared this explanation because I have made a bet on this bet selection too  :)

But casinos know this and as such they compensate by offering very low returns on those kind of bets giving them an edge regardless of what you do, it is important to remember that casinos are a business and they want to earn money, so even if you had a system that could produce you profits if they check your account and they realize that you have been earning money over the long term and that it is unlikely this can be explained away by just you being lucky then they will most likely ban you even if you did nothing wrong as some casinos have rules on their TOS against professional gamblers.

I don't think there are strats which really help in practice, in real betting. They might be good in theory and they might give you some extra self confidence thinking you have some advantage and game under control but at the end thus you only deceive yourself. There is no guarantee for winning in any case.

In fact, in theory, all strategies are bad and unprofitable (if not, then there is an error in the calculations). The paradox is that in practice you sometimes see a "profitable" strategy and it even works at a certain range of bets. But this is just a fluctuation of the normal distribution, and if you take a longer distance, you will still receive a total loss.

Do you mean sports betting? I do not know what could be the reasons for falsifying something on a systematic basis there - the theory of probability does all the work legally and effectively. Sometimes "strange" results do happen in competitions, but these are actually rare cases, and we should not think from this that there is a "conspiracy of all".

Some gamblers have that belief that it's rigged, however, it will remained a theory since we can't prove that statement anyway. As a gambler, we have some mix belief or we are fully convince that the market is really rigged, however we are still betting on it, that means we are finding it favorable on our part.

I think the main reason for this behavior is that most bettors view it as a hobby/entertainment.
And here's my funny observation: let's say a match has 3 outcomes. Player A bets on 1st, Player B bets on 2nd, Player C bets on 3rd. And all three think the market is rigged against him  ;D
In fact, the risk / reward ratio plays against each of them and there is no falsification here.

My two sure bets:

https://i.postimg.cc/mDrH5jBd/Untitledbets.png

Betnomi have a very nice sports book! Today I decided to give a chance to favorites, and we will see ho will that go!
We can talk about this for eternity, but in the end it's gambling and all you can do is to place a bet and hope for the best outcome! There are no truly safe bets, be sure in that. It's ours to try it, if you don't try you don't have a chance to win! Well this week is my try on favorites, let's see how sure that is!

There are safe bets, but not something that will give you a profit, the one that will give you profits is the one that has the higher odds, some people are winning this, it's pure gambling betting on the opposite but that's gambling you have to take some risks to get a higher payout, there's no excitement if you are betting on the obvious.

I love to read such butter butter written only to make statistics for the signature campaign.

It seems there is a confusion on the thread, and this is why I do not like the term safe bets to begin with, when professional gamblers talk about safe bets they are talking about arbitrage opportunities that arise when the line on a certain bet moves in different casinos and making a bet on all the outcomes of the match will offer you a positive outcome for you regardless of who wins, this may seem as something impossible but it happens and smart gamblers use these kind of opportunities to make money in a safe way, and that is where the name of safe bets comes from.

There aren't any safe bets in gambling for my opinion unless the match is rigged,
For me that is the only safe bet that you could have but even betting in a low profit could make you lose your money it doesn't mean that you would win 100%.

Yes, there is a very safe bet. Don't bet anything so you can't lose. 100% successful. That is the best bet.

The best idea ever I have seen though :D Jokes apart. I don't think any websites or gambling sites are exists in the world which is truly safe. Even after submitting KYC, I lost my funds from BITTREX exchange which is reputed company. I contacted them but they can't even try to understand. So I don't don't believe anything in word to hear that there has truly safe bets in sport betting.

Actually, if you are in the gambling world; the word safe is not existing because every game, every bet and everything have a certain risk. If you want your money to be safe, then better to keep it and do not put it in betting sites. In reality, gambling is also a game of probabilities where there is no sure win here, there are strategies have high winning rate probability but still it cannot guarantee you that it will give you profits all the time. You can become a profitable bettor through sports betting but it will really take a time because you need to gain a lot of experiences first before you able to be profitable.

No one can talk about the right security measures when it comes to betting there are risks but it requires sufficient knowledge and experience no one can tell when the game will turn so you have to start with a small amount of capital. The site must be well monitored before joining without making any bets if you have any experience in the world of online gambling you can choose any type of bonus based on your own betting style and preferences.

Looking for a site is just an easy task for anyone who has knowledge since it's a basic requirement.

The only difficult thing is to find consistency in winning which most of us does not achieve, therefore we should aim this and in order to be safe, we need to ensure that we go with our plan and that includes betting with limitations and knowing when to stop in any situation.

None of the sports betting are safe, because mostly in bet the players encountered always loss their coins, and as We expected majority of the
players as well are luck dependent. Unless you are the king of gambler ;D But never submit KYC anyway in any bet gambling site requiring the players to do it, instead stay away from it and lets be more careful and always play what We can afford to loose.

This might offend someone but practically it's true indeed. Betting means you don't know anything but randomly put your money on a team, however, 80% of winning could be always assure you if you know how to analyze data of the teams you're going to bet your money and on their opponents team. On my part, it's all about making efforts to have a solid strategy to not waste your money.

Because it's more fun if you're learning while you're risking your money. The more knowledgeable you'll become in the field of sports betting, the more confident you'll gain about winning, and that's more safer than anything.

If you really want to gain a lot of money, you should take risk that you can lose a lot of money too. The bigger the risk, the bigger multiplier you will get. If you just bet on a team that has a 90% chance of winning, you will only get a multiplier of 1.8 but if you manage to bet on the other team that has a 10% chance of winning, you will get a multiplier of 2.8. Every professionals gamblers know how to lose because no one can win of no one are losing. Gamblers can accept their wins and their loses because if they don't, they will be having a problem to comeback on gambling.

Yes indeed, gambling bettings means you're just go with the flow whether you lose or you win, when betting it comes with luck doesn't mean you bet you're truly safe and you we're technically win every bets you we're going to be made Nah 80% i don't agree with this gambling always comes with 50/50% that depends ofcourse it comes with analyzation in which gamble you are in. Also it is not fun risking money then you learn , you can be smart before you start just sayin :)

Yes, this is a must-do for all gamblers. As you mentioned whether it is looking for a chance to win a bet with 90% or with 10% is the same. Neither of them could promise victory. But, there will indeed be a difference between a 90% chance and a 10% chance, logic for beginner gamblers by looking at 90% win, they will be more confident to place a bet here. Just try to play slot games with 90% win, how many wins are achieved, and how much profit is made. This can be used as an example in choosing between big chance and small chance.

DWYOR

Being a gambler, I'm sure people will understand how it feels when you lose control in the game, most likely it will result to a bad loss because you are getting heated and you can't focus anymore, and you'll begin chasing loses until you end up losing your entire bankroll.

Been in that situation many times in my life, so I know the feeling.  :D

I am not a fan of bingo, hard to win in that game, more like a game where you only win when you are lucky.
Sports betting is different though, you are in control of your pick and you'll be able to use the information available for the public in analyzing your bet.

About being safe, well, no bet is safe, once you bet, you risk money because there's a risk of losing too.

Always two sides of the coin every time, it only differs on the chances of winning though.

You can play it safe by only accepting free bets, sometimes you see them when a site just opens to let customers try their site. they are risk free.
in general you don't get such free bets otherwise.

Free bets? how much is that fee bets only? I think you are not really serious on what you are doing if you can't take the risk, this is gambling, there's a high risk involve here, so we should be aware of that so we can decide if we will pursue gambling or just give up. Risk free thing does not exist in the the business world, more so in gambling, even living in this world has risk, even if you just stay at home.

I wouldn't call this safe bet but risk controlled bet. So, there is still a possibility to lose but you don't cross the line of your limits of your acceptable loss so you actually don't suffer consequences.
The safe bet would be if there were no possibility to lose but the winning would be guaranteed. We all know that doesn't exist, except if the natch isn't fixed in advance.

I really doubt that someone that is really interested in sport bets is going to be interested in playing a gambling game like bingo and this is because they are completely opposite in their natures, when it comes to sports bets with the right knowledge you can at least reduce somehow the house edge of the casino has against you but in the game of bingo everything has to do with your luck and as we know you cannot control your luck and you have no control whatsoever over your winnings or your losses.

This is true I never think about this. Some platforms really give free bets promotion whenever there are newly opened project no matter if you lose it's free so there's no risk there although in order to withdraw them you need to meet their wagering requirement.

Wagering requirements make it tough  to bring something out  even it's for free. Casino owner knows what they're doing  they'll make sure that the free bets or credit won't be abused,  either you are pro  or you are lucky enough  to cash out some free money  once you already achieved the required wagers  that you  need.

Very  few  lucky gamblers who abled to get and win after accepting the offer.  Back  to the main  topic, sure bets are not possible  it won't  be called gambling  if it does exist.  Even you place your chances 99.99% win that remaining  .01 % can still bring shit to  your picked.

I agree that small percentage matters, sometimes when you least expect that's the time that small percentage will come. Imagine betting maxed out at 98% win and still lose. Happened to me a couple of times.

It's the same as betting in a luck based games, that's why i stay away with that high chances but low payout betting odds, it's just a waste of money and we just thought it's easy which is no challenge to us, if we really wanna test our skills, we should go with odds 1.90 above.

skill or sports and casino or luck based games are the same and thier max highest percent chance can be at 98 or 99 percent but it cant be on 100 percent because theres no way you can loose if that win chance exist .

theres no easy in gambling and dont under estimate the small odds that you see because those can be a trap to pocket your penny , playing gambling in any odds is already challenging  if your goal is to rake up a good profit because winning is difficult

1.5 - 1.7 would be the sweetest spot but i do still see some people who do even tend  to bet on 1.1 - 1.2 odds which it isnt really worth for the risk to take

its up to someone though specially if the said player or team would really be having that ensured winning but we know that upsets can happen from time to time.

So theres no point on telling that there are really safe bets in sports betting yet this can only happen in our dreams.  8)

No sports betting is safe. The only exception is when you know about a negotiated match, but if the bookmaker finds out about it, he can cancel the match results.
Small odds are usually when one opponent in a match is much stronger than the other.
Remember the champions season 2015-2016 of the soccer FC "Leicester City" in the premier league, which before that almost flew out of the championship. Odds for matches against this team at the beginning were very small. And such examples can be cited many. You can win dozens of bets with odds of 1.15, and then in one loss you will lose everything you have earned before.

I don't think this is true, have you already seen a sports that was cancelled because bookies believe that the it's a negotiated match or a fix match?

Personally I have not seen such cases, but I do not bet on sports as often as many other people on this forum. Many bookmaker's offices reserve the right to cancel the results of the match if there is evidence that the match was negotiated. I can look for similar rules in their terms of use.

And the idea discussed above where the small percentage matters, I think it is fair to say that it extends beyond sports betting and I'd say this is a gambling consensus. So, no you can't really be safe when betting on anything when you don't have control about the outcome but merely taking a calculated guess.

If such cases are possible then how the bookmakers able to find out if the match is negotiated? I mean, how can they present a strong evidence before the match even ended? Through whistleblowers? Do they have spies in the management of each teams? I'm a little bit curious because this is new to me :).

I agree, having a higher percentage of win is not really a guarantee for a sure win rather it's just some probability for the games. Sometimes those underdog teams can surprise them and manage to win the games. If the safe bets are safes, no one would gonna go for the risky one because they know the latter is sure to win. but as you can see, nothing has changed at all. that's because they knew safe bets is just some speculations.

For the cancelled match who will be paid. There'll be gamblers placing bets over both the teams. This isn't possible, and in most cases the match gets rescheduled. Myself have won on games on which the player himself retires from the match on injury. By the time the opponent will be announced as the winner.

Yes, it's not possible for a match to get cancelled or bets to be cancelled when the match is over even if there are rumors that the game was a fix match.

@KennyR ...I think on your statement about a player retiring in the match, that is just normal, there's nothing doubtful on that which would make the bookies believe that the game is fixed.

Thing is, if we say fix match, it's not easy to prove it as insiders or those who fix the match will not allow themselves to get caught, hence the game will still look as a normal game but there's already a winner on it.

I don't know how bookmakers will know that the match was negotiated. Perhaps such information appears to the police or somewhere else. Maybe someone made a very big bet on the incredible outcome of the match. There are a lot of players in the contract matches, someone can talk to his wife, she will tell her friend and so the information went further.

Yep! One of the best ideas I've ever read about this topic. Who can lose in sports betting if you are not actually betting, am I right? There's another thing, you could predict who's winning and bet nothing on it. You might not win money but you called it.  ;D

There is no 100% guarantee for any bets in any matches. I remember the times I lost a bet that I thought there was no way to lose. You can increase your winning chance by analyzing the matches really good. By doing that, I can say that I have increased my winning rate at a high rate.

Low odds means technically low risk bet but in practical low odd game is more risky because we are going to lose everything if we lose the game but going to get very little when we won. So in my opinion betting low amount on high odds game is the safest among all other choices since we lose very little only even if we lose but if we win the percentage will be high.

Bookmakers receive all information about fixed matches by statistics of accepted bets. As soon as they notice anomalous activity - a large number of bets on a certain outcome of the match, then the match immediately falls under suspicion, if this imbalance continues to increase, they cancel the match as suspicious. Statistics let you see everything. And you must understand that all bookmakers interact with each other on this issue. Therefore, using different bookmakers to cheat will not help.
Obviously, you can dishonestly win a small amount without anyone noticing it, but this is not profitable for scammers and athletes who are willing to cheat.
