“Sports betting strategy”

[nelson4lov]

Pick favorite’s moneylines every week in top clubs on the top league regularly. The top clubs always aim to win the league. So they will be doing their best

Great plan but not all favorites win every week. Some weeks, 1-2 favorites will either draw (if football) or lose. The number of weeks with prefer favorites winning won't be up to 5 in full 3r4 match days. I might be wrong but I feel that is the case amd then strings of loses will wipe off the little wins. However, next season, I'll put this strategy to the test because right now, most of the favorites or big clubs have nothing to play for and don't mind losing.

IMHO, any specific strategies that we do could still result in random results.
To be honest, if someone wants to be profitable at the end of the month. There's a need to balance the betting size and the emotion.
You'll get to bet only to the games that you are specifically aware of and have more knowledge with and not to randomly bet any games you wish to because you have a goal that you're focus to see at the end point.

What would you guys recommend when it comes to sports betting strategies? (please) 

Betting on 1.4 could still end up you losing money in the long run.

Now I'm thinking, what if you focus on those teams that are heavy favorites. Let's say for example in the regular season, focusing more on the teams that have an odds of around 1.1 - 1.2 could make you profitable in the long run? I don't say that this works, and this might not since I haven't had any experience on it, but if there's anybody who tried this strategy, maybe they can share their own experience here.

Overall, a strategy might work when it comes to sports betting because it's different from casino games where they rely heavily on luck. Sports betting works on analysis and maybe a strategy? There's still luck, but a lot lesser.

The fact is, you won't be able to find that edge in the major leagues, no matter how much you know. From interviews with profitable sports bettors I’ve seen, they tend to agree that they find profitable edges in minor leagues. But even that has become more difficult in recent years. As for a predefined strategy—which is what the OP is looking for—there isn’t one; you can try to find a niche in sports and leagues that aren’t the major ones, but even that is difficult.

Though you may be very right but not always in most cases. You may decide initiating every idea or pattern that you can ever think of and still fail. It's just to stay in between by staking what you can afford to lose to avoid being unneccesary traumatized when things didn't happen the way you were expecting it. As a matter of fact, no one can boast of a consistent strategy as long as gamble is concern, is just for us to do what is expected and leave the rest in the hands of luck to take it cost.

There is no guarantee of a sure win no matter the strategy that you use to analyze games that you plan to bet on, it will always come down to that luck factor which doesn't really respect your strategy so you have to look beyond analytic strategies. It helps to bet on the teams that you are familiar with so that your chances of winning can increase as a result of your knowledge about them. Also bankroll management is another important strategy, using small amounts that you are comfortable to loose will help to reduce your risks Incase you lose the bet.

Yes, that should be the norm for gamblers in sports betting. Although I did try to bet on sports that I'm not aware of, but I did get help from some gamblers here who are into that sport. Although I win, it's not enough for me as I don't want to rely on others.

I wanted to make my own analysis, and so with that, I only bet on them but still it's no guarantee. There is still this element of luck that we need to factor. So even if we lost  the bet, we shouldn't blame ourselves. It the nature of sports betting and gambling in general. You can't win all time time.

Good afternoon, dear gamblers!

What do you think — is there any strategy that actually lets you win consistently on sports betting and finish every month in profit ? 

I’ve been trying to bet on favorites with odds around 1.4–1.7, but I still end up in the negative by the end of the month. Maybe betting on favorites is a bad strategy, so I’m thinking about switching things up. 

What would you guys recommend when it comes to sports betting strategies? (please) 

Try what you feel might work for you but don't expect anything because gambling is luck, sport matches is a situation two teams go against eachother for a win, that luck you so crave for is in the hands of what these teams will play, it's already screaming risk, that's why you need to use small money on any gambling or bets.

There is no strategy you can come up with right now that someone haven't done already, this is why prediction is the hardest thing to do and that's why betting companies will always make money from it, it's not easy to win via predictions.

Placing a bet in sports totally depends on chance, which is extremely speculative, as the future remains unknown, that is, the performance of the team on the field. Precautionary action that can ensure that financial risk is kept in check is the utilization of a small bankroll. Well, prediction are so hard to tell that realising the bookmaker always has an advantage will make you play more realistically without making too many expectation.

You should not treat betting as a source of income, always treat it as entertainment, even if you manage to make some money from it. Any strategy will have flaws because all strategies are based on analysis and probability. Bookmakers employ entire teams whose job is to calculate probabilities and set odds in a way that already gives them an advantage over the players. That is something you need to understand and take into account. So gamble only for enjoyment, and never bet more than you are prepared to lose right now.

[Fredomago]

Still heavy on this, there are no strategies when it comes to betting. Specifically when it comes to sports betting because the games are very unpredictable and regardless of the stats of the last 5 games or so, the team can still under or over perform, so regardless on what ever strategy you want to use, the unpredictability will still come to play

I don't understand what you meant by their are not strategies when you are gambling.
Apart from getting lucky to make profits from gambling, you need strategy and skill that will help you so you can make profits when you gamble. Sport bettors have their own strategy that is helping them to make profits from betting.

Though there's no assurance that you may always win using your strategy but I agree that is much better to have one, instead of hoping or relying alone with luck having strategy or following a good patterns may adds up to your fun and enjoyment, there's always a different opinion and point of view regarding to how a certain gambler will take his move, different people have different patterns and strategies.

That is just what its causing most problem in the lives of the gamblers, they do treat gambling as some sort of life saver, which is not and instead of them to approach gambling with the right mindset, they end up doing and satisfying their urge and this people don't understand, they do lose it because they are unable to control their emotions and if they do discipline themselves, they won't have to treat or think of gambling to be of any kind of help to their lives financially.

There is no peace of mind of one trying to place a bet with the intention of doubling their money and this leads to addiction through the means of emotional issues, they are to keep staking with the amount they lose because betting within their budget and be disciplined about it, is the best thing that can happen to them, as things won't have get out of hand before they know they know what to do, also they should not expect anything from gambling other than having fun through it.

You're right mate, no experience or strategy can help you to win than learning how to limit your losing, all strategy in gambling still depend on luck to win, that's why a newbie without strategy can win a game without analyzing but an experienced gambler will waste a whole day analyzing and still lose the bet.

The only strategy you should learn is how to stake what you can afford to lose and how to take a break if the winning isn't coming, being addicted is not good, use every strategy that will help you to avoid addiction, that's the only strategy that works in sports betting.

Although being profitable at the end of the month or in the long run is not guaranteed no matter how emotionally disciplined you might be. But there is a high chance of achieving this if you practice risk management and you are actually disciplined. A lot of gamblers win more in the long run this doesn't mean that they don't incur losses but their strategy puts them in profit in the long run.

[Betwrong]

I completely agree regarding underdogs. In fact, for me it's not even once in awhile, when I'm making those bets, I'm doing them most of the time. It’s not uncommon to see a heavily underestimated underdog getting overly inflated odds for a win or a draw because of this. If you bet on underdogs, you may only win 30% of your bets, but odds above 4.00 can still make it profitable.

Yeah, money is made where the majority are not playing. Basically playing the favorites or adding extra bets with low odds onto a long ticket is the most classic movie, most average people do those things. Meanwhile yahoo62278's statement is spot on, the actual talent or chance at performance is very similar so the odds tend to present opportunities in these cases quite often.

Not often enough to say that betting on underdogs is definitely a winning strategy, but often enough to keep you entertained while not taking a lot of your money. I can bet on sports during the whole year and cumulatively lose only $20, while without those winning bets on underdogs I would lose $200-$300 during the same period of time.

The truth is that it is not always easy to control how much you win or take out from gambling, whether in the short term or in the long term, but what's very possible is controlling how much you lose, especially in the long term, and this is often determined by the gambler's strategy and expectations from gambling. If your expectation is mostly keeping the entertainment and fun going in the long term, then it becomes pretty easy to avoid some unintended losses.

I think you have confused between casino & sports betting, there is some difference between these two, like casino is luck-based gambling. Hence, it is almost impossible to win by applying any strategies here; casino gambling is very unpredictable. So no one can guarantee a sure win here; it is much riskier than sports betting. You said Sports betting is unpredictable, I don't agree with you, because its outcome will depend on how much analysis and strategies you apply. It is possible to predict many things here, because you have the opportunity to choose your favorite strong team and bet. It can be said that in sports betting, a win is not guaranteed. However, it is possible to increase the chances of winning by relying on strategies.

Gambling is unpredictable mate. A long proven theory could be voided any time and that's just gambling for you. There's no proven stategy that's why we say it's all just luck. There are periods that picking or betting the favourites might just turn out to be the best strategy as they'll keep winning consistently, while there are times that the favourite teams will record a streak of losses.

Strategy can vary, but it's crucial to understand the fundamentals of how we win. Many things are already clear to players today, for example, from streams of professional bettors. While many of their actions can be copied, it's still impossible to replicate emotional control, especially when we're losing. A deep understanding of the situation and high-quality analysis of the sport we've chosen are also crucial. Furthermore, it's best not to assume that this will bring us both pleasure and profit, because more often than not, we'll have to choose one over the other.
