How to be profitable in sports betting?

[joshy23]

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A lot of us here love sports and we are betting at the same time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Kasabus]

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

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

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

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

But those experiences that I have were few.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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