Your go-to sports betting risk management strategies?

[Slow death]

In my case, I prefer to focus more on bankroll management and place my multibet bets, for example when I define $12.50 as the weekly amount allocated to place sports bets, I start by analyzing all the games and then I make a selection of games and I place in many multibet bets with odds above @3.50 and in each of my multibet bets I place $2.50 and with that I can make 3, 4 or even 6 multibet bets with odds above 3.50 and this allows me to have a scenario in which case 3 bets If I lose and I get 3 bets right, if I have made 6 multibet bets, I make a profit, but if, for example, out of the 6 multibet bets I only manage to get one bet right, then at least I will have more than $7.50 and that reduces my loss because for me to bet on 6 multibet bets I had to spend 15$

now if I get two multibet bets right then I can get the 15$ that I spent plus some profit and as I always do I place bets this way so I can get a profit in the long term to the point where I can withdraw and use the profit, of course I'm making it clear that gambling should be seen as just fun, in the sense that people shouldn't quit their jobs, they shouldn't stop focusing on their real-life business because of gambling, because gambling isn't They can always generate a constant profit, there is a greater risk that the person will have an endless sequence of losses and reach the point where the person will give up gambling altogether, which is why I do not advise anyone to see gambling as a source of income.

Which of these is your go-to sports betting risk management strategies?

1. Hedging - Basically it is placing another bet to reduce the potential losses or risks associated with your first bet.

As a sports bettors, this is one of the method that I frequent used, single bet 4 games the most. At least if you win 3 out 4, then you could still make profits. Or even 2 out 4 will do much specially if the higher odds bet won the majority.

2 Arbitrage Betting - Here you bets on all possible outcomes of an event with different bookmakers to secure a profit no matter of the outcome.

I haven't try to go to this one, but I've seen scam accusations here and there and that some casinos says that individuals do this arbitrage betting and it's against their ToS or something.

3. Cash Out: When you cash out in betting, you take a portion payout from the bet before the game is over
 It is do to guarantee a profit or minimize losses, especially when the original bet is winning or losing.

Yeah, to reduce your lost, but who knows, maybe you will regret your decision here as there was only a thread about a member cashing it out early and later the last leg of his bet in the parlay hit and so he was mad for not listening to his instinct.

Or maybe going on a multi-parlay? Of course the risk is too high, but seen members doing this strategy and winning big.

I think one thing you should add is the parlay. I think its honestly incredible when you can place a three fold bet and get paid so much more on the winnings. Of course you have to be much more accurate and know what you're doing, unless its just sheer luck of course. The second method I am most interested in is the Arbitrage betting. That scenario you can hedge your bets and ensure a profit margin mostly if you have a good method.

Yes, I agree, sometimes we have to watch a match and not place any bets because when we place bets we hope to see wins however if we aren't sure about a match's result or even if odds aren't helping us then in that case we should avoid betting at any cost. Sports betting can be very valuable but we have to find out how it works properly and we must have to follow some good strategies or make our own strategies to have more wins as compared to losses.

I'm not really into sports betting but I have tried hedging and cashing out. Hedging allows me to reduce potential losses by placing additional bets, while cashing out helps me secure a profit or minimize losses before the game is over. It helped me stay in control and make more informed decisions.

[Natsuu]

I have wanted to try hedging and arbitrage betting but I did not know how it can result to winning from my calculations. The outcome of the game can be in a way that no matter what, you will lose.

I have tried cash out before and I noticed I should not use it anymore because it can result to losses also. I do not think anyone that is gambling with small amount of money will want to cash out.

I enjoy free bets.

Yeah hedging it is. Hedging is cool because it's like playing it safe without killing all the fun. You throw in another bet to cushion potential losses, keeping things exciting while having a backup plan if your first bet goes south. It's like a balance between risk and not totally freaking out about losing

[ethereumhunter]

I already used number 1 only if I thinks I am sure with the matched. But sometimes, I only place 1 bet because I don't see a chance to win on the other match.

I never try number 2 just because I don't knows how and what I should do. The number 3 is the most thing that I used, especially if I see that I can make some money, more than the amount that I placed to bet. I don't have to wait until the match finish because I often experienced losing the money. So cash out is a good solution for me to take the money out with the profit. The number 4 is rarely I gets because I don't place a bet in sports betting too often.

This is one strategy that I do not fancy. It could be my ego speaking but I rather let my game play out to the end than cash out a quarter of what I could have made if my bet won just because I was afraid of what the results might be. This is a strategy I would not advise any gambler to get used to, it will reduce your self confidence in your ability to predict games and will cause you to second guess your decisions.

My go-to strategy of risk management is not necessarily tied to betting or gambling per se, but it is directly tied to my win and losses ratio.

I'm a reckless gambler by nature, and so I really couldn't help that I had to either up the ante and actually bet more than I normally do, or in some cases incur a lot of losses over a single day. I noticed eventually how this affects me as a gambler and, fearful that I might actually fall into gambling addiction for good, improved upon my betting habits and introduced a system of wins and loss-dependent betting strat where it doesn't even matter how I win or if I win at all, it's just all about making sure I close out any win I claim for the day, or reduce the losses I incur as much as possible.

For people that are interested, and if you're following my account's blabbering all these years you'd probably figure out the strategy I talk about but it's just that effective for me that I can't stress how great it is. It's 3 wins /3 losses=quit strat. And as the name implies, it just means I quit for the day or for the session soon as I incur a total of either 3 wins or 3 losses over the session. Cause at the end of the day I get myself 5 bets/5 instances of gambling which is more than enough for a baller like me, and at the same time I make sure that I either end the day with a net positive, or I don't incur any more losses on days that I end up with a net negative. All of my winnings go towards my dedicated gambling wallet separate from my regular crypto wallet to make sure I don't mix up currencies and money, and so far, in the few years that I have used it my bankroll has never gone dry.

Strategies worked for different gamblers. Don't compare but look forward to earn more from the system, as long as you're working harder than before. Our risks management should be the first thing to observed about the gambling system and ensure things falls according to plan. Sport betting is a risky activity to get indulged but the brilliant and lucky ones have a spot of milking the system. Gambling is not by force or persuasion, everyone have their legal rights of either rejecting Gambling or embracing them because there's more to secure than that.

It is very true, the truth is that in sports betting I believe that a person who does it has to have a lot of knowledge to do it, it is something logical that will always be associated with an apparent risk, the mere fact of betting is already a risk, it is the money is there ready for anything to happen, there are only two possibilities: winning or losing, and if it is losing what must be assumed is that loss as something normal, sometimes sports betting is compared to the activity of a casino , which includes roulette, slot machines, among other things, and for me it is clearly easier to win at sports betting than at casino games associated solely with luck.

Sports betting is a way to take our game to a new level, because it is already measured in monetary terms, if we think about it, it is our responsibility to win or lose, I see it as commerce, if we lose or win it is because of our decision, and that in itself has to do with many things, for example, if we bet with a lot of technical knowledge, having studied each player, each possible strategy, then this is something that seems more professional than betting simply on what we see on TV. or contribute because I like a particular team or because I think they are going to win, or what is seen in the bets on an internet site. In statistics, the majority of bets go towards a very biased side, it can also happen that There is always something extraordinary that can happen, and it is what many call “a little luck” and it should not be ruled out, but you also have to consider what scenario, but for me there are more chances of winning in sports betting than in games. normal casino.

This is a strategy that has made losers in the past before it introduction to have some winning. This is a strategy that I have heard many gamblers have been happy about since it was introduced. Although some have said it is not really fine for them because it is tempting for them as it makes them reduce their potential win after they cash out and they eventually win the game. However, it is a strategy that I use sometimes when I have to if I don't have the confidence of the remaining games coming through. So, it is a strategy that has helped bettors not to lose everything even though sometimes you can feel your have been shortchanged but you have to move on.

1. Hedging - Basically it is placing another bet to reduce the potential losses or risks associated with your first bet.

2 Arbitrage Betting - Here you bets on all possible outcomes of an event with different bookmakers to secure a profit no matter of the outcome.

For me I think these two options are showing more of desperation and likely the strategy of those who are addicts and doesn't want to lose anything at all. If you are gambling as a source of income, then such person will be using this strategy but a regular gambler may not find them necessary.

Often in ongoing bets I always cash out if the bookies have offered it even though it's not a big profit but it minimizes losses that continue before the match is over.
Sometimes when the instinct is not strong in parlay betting, it will cash out, if you want to keep it then be ready with all the wins / losses. But there is a little regret if you don't cash out even though it's a good opportunity.
Sometimes I also enjoy the free bets that the casino provides, this will increase the capital to continue betting as long as the free bets at the beginning must be won first.

I don't think those strategies are very efficient to be honest. They could avoid severe losses but it will be very difficult to make profits in the long run with any of them, except with the last one maybe.
Usually cash out offer are very low, that is to say if your bet is very likely to lose you won't get much money. It's usually better to bet on the other outcomes at the live betting odds than to cash out if you really think your bet is going to lose.
Arbitrage betting is very difficult because you need to have accounts and money on many sportsbooks and they are very likely to close your account because this strategy implies to always bet on the best odds available.
Hedging will help to reduce your loss if you think you have made a mistake by betting on one outcome, but it won't help you very much to make profit. And you can just reduce your stake instead of betting on opposite outcomes, if you are using it for initial bets.
