Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting?

[Maslate]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.  

[CLS63]

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.
