Some good advice on this thread. Personally I think a good knowledge of the sport you’re betting on and familiarity with the teams is the best advantage but you can’t forget to check things like injuries, who has a day off, who is going through a divorce, what city they are playing in, who is in a contract year, etc.

Of course there’s nothing like some good old fashioned luck.

Indeed and also it will be good if the sports you are betting is really your favorite one because it will make you understand the rules and regulations of the game, he will be familiarize to the team yes and previous matches and strategies. From there, he can determine why the odds of the certain team is going to be okay than the other team.

sometimes someone just wants to try other sports matches besides their favorite sports. Maybe it's like trying their luck. regarding the rules of the game of course it has been studied in advance what can and cannot be violated. I honestly prefer soccer matches because I can analyze them easily because many people discuss them. Just need to choose which one is the best.

3. You need to be a legend in a specific sport or league: Your focus should be on a few sports or leagues. As it will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of the teams, players, and trends within those specific areas. In the end, this can give you an edge when making predictions.

I know right! Being an expert in many games will constitute lots of losses but trust me, some bets are worth mixing, like mixing basketball events and football events is a good chap for money because sometimes events are limited and to boost odds, you have to mixed them and they are even very easy to win than sticking to a single type of sports, I have won some good number of odds from this method and I will tell you that it worth it.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms: This is one of the rarest situations. There are instances when betting platforms may offer varying odds for the same event. The best practice is to always compare odds across multiple platforms, which gives you the opportunity to find the best value and maximize your potential returns.

I don't like this tip, it is my personal opinion and I think my opinion will say the same with many people here. I don't like to comapre odds when it comes to bets, lower line are tricky aspect of basketball, when your favourite betting platform gives you odd with less risk, stick with because their algorith works the way previous events ended, trying to outsmart that will make you lose more esopecially in lower lines of basketballs.

This. It’s very important. Whenever I am placing bets on cricket leagues there are 8 out of 10 chances that I will always lose my money on the team. The fact that I know cricket more than average doesn’t change anything about it. In fact that much I know it and that’s why at least I am winning two games on a good day.

The more you study the players the more you know outcome of the game at the end of day. Like you can populate a result by saying if ABC and CYZ is playing today and they are all rounders plus they are in the same team then it increases the odds of that much on winning site.

This is why study of sports is required. Many gamblers just think they can win with their gut feelings or based on the favourite team. In reality it’s different story.

Indeed, understanding sports can assist, but success isn't assured. Losing 80% of bets? Time to reassess! Your point on player scrutiny is good, but not deep enough. Can one player's performance always promise victory? Team dynamics, weather, and player form are crucial. Betting isn't intuitive; it's about thorough analysis. Consider, are your bets data-driven or gut feelings? Real sports betting requires deeper knowledge, right?

An interesting subject in itself, you can develop and optimize your idea, but in the end you always need luck to be profitable with betting on sports. You could also choose to look for the gray area so that you always have a big advantage, but bookmakers will act against that. And then I mean as an example a situation in which a goal is scored but the VAR then intervenes. Then you have odds that are initially based on the goal scored, you could quickly bet on that in the knowledge that a goal could be disallowed. But as I write, I think bookmakers can close your account because of this. So it's not worth the risk.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms:

I don't actually engage in this because I don't bet large amounts in sports betting. You see, most sports betting sites likely use the same oddsmakers, resulting in similar odds. Even if there are other sports bookies with different odds providers, the disparity wouldn't be significant enough for gamblers to benefit greatly. This only adds value to your betting journey if you're wagering substantial sums, as even a small advantage can have a significant impact on your sports betting experience.

Quote providers really gradually monopolize the market and quotes are almost the same everywhere, but if we take into account boosters and all sorts of bonuses that are different on different platforms, then we can get significantly different quotes for the game we are interested in. Therefore, this point is important no matter how much you bet - it's better to win more often than to lose

For me, if you want to bet on other sports, it doesn't matter as long as you understand everything before placing a bet.
Because I myself understand that almost all people who bet on sports betting sometimes want to increase their profits in other sports bets which have higher odds and of course with a little risk of losing that can be minimized.
Football is one of the favorite sports for almost the whole world to know about this popular sport, so it's no wonder that betting on football is really fun with all the strategies to increase profits.

For me luck is another factor of sports betting. because before we bet, the first thing we have to know is, we know for sure what we are doing. in other words, in sports betting especially football. The first rule is that we must know very well about the leagues that will be part of the betting. second, we have to know, the system in betting regarding odds and so on. third, we must really understand about football itself. in this context, referring to the reference the OP's theme created this thread. from what I said at the top of this post, it's all related to the points the OP made a long list. btw, the VAR problem is part of the mechanism that occurs when a match is held or started.

Well, like I said before, that luck is another factor. that means, someone who wants to be a sports gambler like the OP said. to get victory, there are mechanisms that we have to do some of which the OP has outlined in his thread. in short, to minimize defeat. someone who bets, must involve his insight, knowledge, as well as his skills in terms of analysis and research. after going through this mechanism, we will get a conclusion and that is what is considered in the bet. After that, we just leave it all to luck.

1. The most important step is to Research and analyzes before placing your bets

This is the most basic way or common method on making yourself that improved on doing sports betting on which you should really be analyzing about statistics or simply with the records
if you are really that serious when it comes on winning up such bet but of course you should really be that mindful that there are lots of factors which could affect out winning rate.
Dont make yourself that desperate though because we know that even how hard you do make out the best approach and analysis towards a certain game, it wont really be giving out that kind of assurance
that you would really be making yourself getting some win.

You would be finding out for yourself whether you are a profitable bettor or not and it would be entirely be depending into those records but if you dont really mind much about
your winning rate then you would really be just simply making up some bets according into your interest which i dont really see something wrong with this.
Improving would really be going along on the experience that you would really be having on the long time engagement about on sports betting.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms: This is one of the rarest situations. There are instances when betting platforms may offer varying odds for the same event. The best practice is to always compare odds across multiple platforms, which gives you the opportunity to find the best value and maximize your potential returns.

Opening an account with every single sports book in your region that is legal is another way to improve your sports betting skill and make the probability of you winning more bets higher. I have noticed that sports book may at some point limit you say if you have a high bank role and this would affect your winning more bets if you only one account with a sportsbook. When you are winning there is the tendency for them to cut you off or limit the amount of money you can place on a bet.

^For comparison is quite good but I will rather choose 1 or 2 gambling casinos to stick with it, the more you open an account the more chances of having losses. It is indeed a strategy that can enhance your sports betting skills and increase your chances of winning more bets. By diversifying your accounts, you reduce the risk of being limited or cut off by a single sportsbook, especially if you have a substantial bankroll. It is not uncommon for sportsbooks to take such measures when they perceive a customer as consistently successful. By spreading your bets across different platforms, you maintain the ability to place higher wagers and capitalize on your winning streaks without restrictions. By doing this it allows you to optimize your betting opportunities and potentially maximize your profits in the long run.

In any gambling game, luck is always a factor that is in play for the final results.
But in sportsbetting, the more you know about a specific sports, the higher your chance of winning.
And coupled with luck, you can hit the winning streak. However, don't get too confident that you will win in every bet.
You still have a lot of factors that you can't account for as those are like your blind spots such as actual performance in the field, or their strategies.
However, the longer years you are following the sports, the more confident you will be in placing your bets, you can also bet on other betting lines for better results.

Indeed and also it will be good if the sports you are betting is really your favorite one because it will make you understand the rules and regulations of the game, he will be familiarize to the team yes and previous matches and strategies. From there, he can determine why the odds of the certain team is going to be okay than the other team.

I'm not sure about that, because if you are fond of a particular team or player and if you are hating some others on the other hand, you won't be able to be enough objective to rightly assess their chances to win or to lose. IMO it's better to review statistics with cold blood to be able to find the best opportunities.

There is more than one way to archive a goal and which ever you use, it all drags you closer to getting more better predictions and taking better bets.
Still, sports net is the closest any one could get on a newer accurate prediction as there are lots of parameters to look at and use in doing your analysis. Even at that, there isn’t any assurances on if you’re going to win your bet or lose it.
Statistics don’t often reflects what’s obtainable on the pitch.

I always understand what I want to choose. Placing bets on soccer is what I really like and it's easier to do research. this will increase my chances of being able to win in betting because I have researched it first.
Apart from football, maybe cricket, horse racing or basketball can be an alternative as long as you know and have a passion for these sports.
If you can only do soccer, then don't switch to anything else, it will be at risk of causing losses. So don't take a bigger risk. stick to sports betting that is mastered.

Conditions like this will indeed affect, regardless of anything, sometimes our judgment and research will be slightly reduced when betting for a favorite club, let alone the opponents we face are impressed below our favorites.
I do the same and many times I have to be willing to lose because my judgment and research are not subjective in this regard because I only see the team that I like and my confidence soars because of that.
But indeed this condition seems quite reasonable, it's just that in gambling it can't be like that. Probability is important but on the other hand, luck is also important in this.

Simply improve your analysis wherein you'd be practical in a way. If you're hesitating to your bet then atleast minimize the amount of money you would be engaging yourself into it. There's no assurance ofcourse, with the winning team or fighter in every sport. Gamblers can jist make speculations or guesses based on previous matches or fights but that won't guarantee things. You may also go bias with lower odds or simply go in line with majority. Also not be greedy of odds; many gamblers are betting to bigger odds because it will result to bigger rewards. Unfortunately, risk would be bigger as well.

Betting done with research and good analysis will certainly make an edge, but know that in gambling there’s no assurance to win even if how much you know the favorite team. That’s why if you want not to lose instantly from your bets, learn to bet at a small amount so that even if you lose, you will still have another chance to bet and win this time. Gambling is still based on pure luck and chances, but I believe if you are also knowledgeable and a skilled gambler as well, that will also lessen the risk of losing from your bets.

Statistics don’t often reflects what’s obtainable on the pitch? It's the first time I read that, I don't know how you assess chances to win or lose for a team, but if you don't use any statistics for that, you are very unlikely to get profits in the long run IMO. Because even players and coaches don't know accurately how likely they are to win or lose, they tend to overestimate or underestimate themselves most of the time. So statistics don't work every time but they often work.

A nice guide on betting properly. Well, they are very basic but many times we bettors tend to slack or we do not want to go the extra mile, especially on research. There are too many factors that can help in choosing out bets depending on our efforts. I only bet small amounts now which is probably the reason why I do not want to do heavy research anymore.

I used to have a lot of betting sites at the same time for me to choose which one provides the better odds. Now I am only using a few settings sites. I am more into reputable, quick support, and easy deposits and withdrawals.

When I saw this topic how to get over it, I wondered how can someone turn a $1,000 into $xxx,xxx amount through sports betting. I was aware that it can be done but what strategy or skills an individual needs to be able to do it? I went into browsing mode as I have done earlier and found out the skills needed to get to the peak of sports betting. Here are my five steps to make your sports betting profitable.

1. The most important step is to Research and analyzes before placing your bets: It is imperative that you gather relevant information about teams, players, statistics, and recent performances. This information would enable you to make more informed decisions.

2. Understanding the concept of value: By searching for bets where the odds offered are higher than what you thought the actual odds of an outcome are. By doing that you will be able to identify value bets and potentially increase your profits in the long run.

3. You need to be a legend in a specific sport or league: Your focus should be on a few sports or leagues. As it will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of the teams, players, and trends within those specific areas. In the end, this can give you an edge when making predictions.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms: This is one of the rarest situations. There are instances when betting platforms may offer varying odds for the same event. The best practice is to always compare odds across multiple platforms, which gives you the opportunity to find the best value and maximize your potential returns.

5. Take a systematic approach: Avoid pursuing losses by sticking to a specified plan or method. Discipline in your betting approach and it does improve your long-term prospects of winning.

Following these methods and constantly improving your skills will allow you to improve your betting talents and raise your chances of winning more bets over time. Remember that sports betting does require patience, discipline, and dedication to make it profitable.

What do you think?

Realistically if you think you have stumbled on to a long term winning strategy then you need to analyse it in much greater depths. That means recording every "trade" as a record, determining what made you choose that course of action and constantly re-evaluating whether any of the variables are changing over time. Remembering that variance can make a huge difference, you might get on a lucky streak and win 10 in a row, but if the next 50 are losing bets then you must be aware of that fact instead of reminiscing about the win streak. This would also allow you to more accurately document you research when it comes to comparing odds available at different platforms too, because small margins might mean the difference between profit or not.

What you can do is read a lot about different systems. But the question you have to ask yourself is how you want to make money from gambling. Do you really want to gamble properly and earn money purely on the basis of information and systems? Or do you want to go more into the gray area and keep yourself busy with things like arbitrage betting and relevant matters. And then of course I'm not even talking about matxhfixing. In principle, there is no watertight system that guarantees to always win money, those things do not exist, even though thousands of books have already been written about the casino.
