Most Sports bettor would surely go with a less risky bet that is why they tend to research first before making any decision, and just like what it said in the blog gamblers will mitigate that risk as much as possible, they would surely go to the team or the player that has a large amount of percentage winning the game, that is why I am considering some things that a bettor can do to lessen the risk, mostly I look if players would change their lineup or if there are injuries then there is a big chance they would surely lose, and if a starting member can not play.

Your option where to bet seems to be a low-key factor for some but the fact that you have put it in the first on the list emphasized the importance of it.

All of the factors are important coming from research, knowing the current status and news about the teams and your awareness of the whole league are big factors.

I have no fix style, that depends on a certain match up.

As of the Asian Handicap betting style (+-), I'd rather look at the odds of payout, I usually took a higher odds like 2.00 and up because I don't want to pay for the juice, this is just an experiment for now but so far I'm getting a profit compared to my previous style of betting.

On pre live bets I always go for handicaps with the possibility to push or buy a point or two if i'm betting on other sports like rugby and american football where there's only specific points to take. I mentioned this before but I forgot the thread, if live betting is available it can be good strategy in getting the best handicap as favored teams don't build up leads most of the time and if they do there's still a possibility for them to give it away in the next quarter.

When I bet on Asian Handicap I always choose to bet on the underdog.I like to bet on the underdog like the underdog starts the game with 3 goals advantage which is +3 Ah in Asian Handicap betting.The odd is not big most of the time but it gives me confidence chances are high I will win that bet.

Sounds like a regular sportsbetting strategy if you ask me,,, but anyway I can share one tip about Asian handicaps or handicaps in general. Always check out all the similar markets.

Sometimes Asian handicap 0.25 if you just split the bets at 0 and 0.5 you can get even better odds.

Hello does anyone know why there are differences between the odds of the favorite of the 1x2 and the odds of this favorite with an Asian Handicap of -0.5?
I don't understand what it could explain this gap.

Must be miscalculated....
Normally the handicap should have a bigger odds decimal,
In this case it's lower instead...
Best opportunity for an arbitrage
But there is no arbitrage opportunity
I think they just factored in the house edge for the 2 opposites outcome alone....
Neglecting the outcomes options

According to you the odds should be bigger for the Asian Handicap? Why do you think that exactly? In my opinion, the odds should be exactly the same. Because the outcome is the same one for the bettor, he will win only if the team wins (if the teams draws or loses, he will lose)

This is mainly because of how bookies set different profit margins between each market if you check DarkStar's sportsbook overview you'll see how one bookie offers slightly better odds on markets like match winners and have more juice on the totals and handicaps. Maybe stake is getting tons of action on the soccer handicaps recently so it's more juiced compared to the three way line.

• Always consider team motivation

What are yours?

The rest are just typical things or normal that you should check from time to time but im aint seeing this stuff to be that controllable or can be known and even if you
then you wouldnt know if those motivation could really be shaken out on neither middle of last minute of the game or whatsoever.This is why this option should
really be not a strong thing for you to rel on when finding out handicaps then this do always talk on comparison between the two
which we do mostly do seek for.

I can understand that both the best types will only be considered as win when the team wins or wins with at least 1 goal more. The gap has been noticed many times by me and others too, but according to me, this gap could be because of a bit more bets placed on Asian Handicap compared to the 'total bets placed by all their users on a team's win'? I know that the odds must be same but this sounds to me to be a good reason as in the winning bet, they also have a third bet as 'Draw' while the Handicap bet as you showed us, had only two bets. And while chances of Besiktas winning were high, chances of Besiktas winning with a margin of 1 or more from the time you place the bet could be high based on their old matches' performance, so this could also be a reason for the odds having such difference. But does that make any difference at all when you will only lose 0.05 times in that Handicap bet?

• Choose always suitable and reputable betting sites

What are yours?

I always go with that, that's the first priority, as long as you are in a reputable site, you have no worries that someday if you win you will have trouble withdrawing your money.

In terms of strategy, it's hard to tell as there are a lot of strategies we can use in gambling and it could differ in results from gambler to gambler due to their implementation. What's important is to get a reliable information so we can analyze with a correct basis, and that alone could already give us a good chance or making the right decision.

Why they would increase the vigorish for this reason? If there is more bets they already make more money without having to increase their commission.

You are kidding I hope 5%, is a huge gap. You are never placing bets at 1.05? You put all your stake at risk to just get this 5% when you are doing that...
5% is more than what investment plans usually offer for borrowing your funds during one year

The problem with motivated teams or athletes is that they sometimes overdo things, like a more than motivated Adesanya tried a new division and lost his winning streak.

The aim of the handicap market is to remove all the difference between the teams playing, so if some football team is heavily favored they will be offered -2.5 which means they are expected to score 2 more goals than the opponents. I hardly ever bet on negative handicap because most often the non-favorite team will cover their spread. I am more tilted towards +2.5 than -2.5 if I am asked to blindly pick a handicap market. If I am making bets on known teams, I will analyze before betting but still, I am more tilted towards the + handicap market. I don't bet for upsets in football but the handicap is usually covered.

I just want to share my strategy well I just find a platform that is reliable and secured for their users which is a good thing and points to us and make sure the funds are safe and the details or information of us are still hidden well good to have if we still keep anonymous.

I always make sure I keep updated a week before a return back to betting into different gambling sites knowledge is the most essential tool we need to have to prevent losing money.

[Yamifoud]

I check every information available, the more information we know that would make us more confident with our bet. Though I'm not winning most of the time but I just love to study and analyze bet as it's very challenging and it makes me proud that I'm not just gambling blindly.

The first that was mentioned in the list is the most important and it's easy to find reputable sites if we are also resourceful.

Handicap betting is actually a very interesting option given which sports you are betting on. Recently I have started to bet more on e-sports like LOL, DOTA2 and actually after comparing the teams I have noticed some teams will lose with very few kills difference and I use that opportunity to win at times although they are as unpredictable as real sports at times.

Some teams are more conservative in their play style which leads to fewer kills, you can relate with a defensive soccer team, a more conservative approach leads to lesser kills/goals.

I also use the handicap markets on NBA because almost all the games get close in the 4th quarter and the difference isn't much by the time game ends, except a few games where the favorites just thwack an underdog.

I don't understand, you say almost all games in NBA become close in the 4 th quarter, at the end of the match but you are using handicap? So what do you mean exactly? You mean you only bet on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter or you mean you only use positive(+) handicaps in your bets?
