How to be profitable in sports betting?

[hahay]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aside all that it's very good when you don't add a lot of games on your betslip even though they are highly tipped to win the game because the longer the slip the odds of you winning reduces a lot. You shouldn't bet so little money and expect to win big, it rarely works out in the end and a very careful analysis and research always helps so as to know who's playing and who's not.

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

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

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

Relying your money on luck is a suicidal mission, you cannot be lucky on every bet that you are going to make, and luck doesn't even exist sometimes. Strategy is effective depending on which sports you are going to use in gambling, I would say soccer is the best because you could bet on how many scores will your team get and the other one, and their difference is not that big compare id you're going to bey on basketball.

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

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

I can easily predict those who'll win in any tournament in eSports.

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

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

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

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

[MI6]

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

[swogerino]

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

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

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

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

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

[Haunebu]

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

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

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

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