FOOTBALL BETTING RESOURCES - EVERYTHING EXPLAINED FOR THE NEWBIES

If you’re thinking about football betting, you should start with the beginning. Do due diligence about it, go online and look for the resources and everything else there is to know. All the terms may be confusing and intimidating for an entry-level betting frenzy.

Look for the free tipster email courses out there. For instance, at https://footballjunkie.co.uk/resources/ you can find out about the terms in football betting, betting glossary, or betting calculators. The information is easy to understand, and anyone willing to learn about football betting has to try it.

Football betting terms- do you need to learn them?

The football betting terms are one of the reasons for which football betting looks so intimidating for a newbie.

To give you a head start, here are some that you’re going to have to familiarize with:

• Accumulator- It’s a set of individual bets placed together when every bet goes over the odds they present together. It’s because of the accumulators when somebody wins for putting a fiver on something and winning a few thousands. Every bet has to win, which makes it a bit risky.

• Stake- it’s the money you put on just one bet. When you don’t win, you lose it.

• Half time/full time- the bet is divided in two as you anticipate the winner of the first half and the winner for the whole game. You may expect a draw at half time, but bet for the home team to win when the game is over.

• Handicap- it's common when one of the team is everyone's favorite. It gives some advantage to the underdog.

• Scorecast- it happens when you’re betting on a player to score the first goal, but you also anticipate the right scores

• Banker- it’s the closest situation to a certainty. The tipster is positive about the bet landing it when he sees it as a banker.

• Wincast- resembles scorecast, but you only on the player scoring and you anticipate the winner of the entire game

• 90-minute betting-when many are betting on players (it can be as goal scorers). If the player doesn't show, the bet is off, with any player showing during the 90 minutes of the game being suitable for the bet

• Over/under- you’re betting the number of goals that are scored; it can be over 2.5 (there are 3 or more goals), whereas when it’s under 2.5, the number of goals can be 0, 1, or 2.

• 24-hour rule- many betting websites come with the rule that in the case of postponing of a match, the bet becomes null when it’s not played within the 24 hours. The bet still stands when is delayed for 3 hours, for instance.

• Double chance- in this case, you’re choosing a winner, and if it’s a win or a draw, you still win the bet. You lose the bet only when they lose. The odds for the DNB are low, which only makes it safer.

• DNB- it’s the acronym for Draw No Bet. When the match ends with a draw, you receive the money back. It’s safe, but the odds are rather low as well.

• Bankroll-it’s about the money you have for your bet.

Accumulators or singles?

Many don't know, but they're some of the most common methods to place your bets.

In the case of an accumulator, your bets have to win so that you can get your money. The reward is impressive, which makes it even more challenging to win. It’s pretty tempting for a new football bettor to bet on accumulators as your $10 can turn into the big bucks pretty fast.

You're not going to have the same results as the singles. When you're placing $10 on three independent matches as singles, and only 2 of them come in, you make money for the two bets. You don't have the same odds as to when you're putting the bets into an accumulator, but you get a better odd for getting some money anyway.

It's essential to figure out what works for you. Even is accumulators work for many, it doesn't mean that people stay away from singles. It's better than you put small stakes on various ways in the beginning so that figure out which works the best for you.

A set of tips is going to get you good

Even if they're not going to ensure a win, some tips are always going to be helpful in some way. Scroll down to find out more:

• Don’t get hungry for money

When you add new teams into an accumulator so that you get maximum payout, you can call yourself greedy. Greedy is also when you're betting more money on a team that you intended to. It's essential that you have a plan about how much you're betting and stick to it.

• Use your head when betting

No matter which one is your favorite, try your best not to think with your heart when betting. You want your team to win, but you think they're going to win when you're betting, which may not always be the case. Don't bet against a team just because you don't like them. Always think when placing your bets.

• Bet only the money you can afford to lose

You should give a good thought before placing a bet. Are going to miss the money if you fail? If the answer is "yes," you should never put that bet.

• Be patient

When it comes to betting, anyone can tell that the chances for you winning every single time are quite slim (impossible is the proper word, though). Football betting (and any other type of betting) requires a lot of patience so that you can select the best bet for you.

• Never bet on friendlies

They're pretty unreliable, and you cannot know for sure the effort that the teams are using. Some reserve players may lead to an outing that you weren’t ready for.

When the friendlies are right before the beginning of the season (it's pretty standard), the players may want to avoid injuries and not put all in.

• Learn about team motivation

Football betting isn’t just gambling and requires a lot of attention to the details too. Two teams may appear in a typical way on paper, but with one of them already winning the league and the other one trying to remain in the league, one can only assume which of the teams is going to work harder for winning.

• Look for professional help when you cannot control it

Football betting can become a real problem, which is why you should seek help for getting back in control.
