Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting?

[kryptqnick]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Mauser]

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.

[worldofcoins]

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.

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.
