STRATEGIES FOR WINNING BETS: CONCEPTS AND TYPES

Source: mirinform.ru 

Sports betting has long ceased to be a way of having fun where income depends on luck. Today, players do not just choose events in the range and guess the outcomes but study new winning methods instead, look for expert forecasts on reputable resources such as telecomasia.net, and also share their observations and information on forums. Self-improvement and knowledge pay off in the form of regular top ups on your betting account. Therefore, if you are focused on the outcome, start with studying popular sports betting strategies.

Betting strategies are techniques developed using statistical data, which can help you to increase your chances of winning a bet without violating bookmakers’ rules. Pair these strategies with Doc’s UFC Predictions to have the highest likelihood of success.  It is important to remember that there are no sure ways of assuring guaranteed success in betting.

Having chosen a method that suits them, professional bettors adhere to it regardless of the result: the strategy can justify itself immediately or a little later, after a bad streak.

Before choosing one of the strategies, you need to take a close look at each of them and assess risks and benefits. Not all strategies are equally good and suitable for both beginners and cappers. Moreover, some techniques can be used consistently, while others - just occasionally. Here are the most popular strategies that deserve players’ attention. 

Flat is the least risky and the simplest option, which involves betting with a percentage of the total pot. Bettors are advised to stake 1-5% wagers, but if you are an experienced capper and bet selectively on events, you can increase the allowed threshold to 10%. Beginners shouldn't bet more than 1%, though. Your success depends not only on your level of experience but also on the type of bets. If you bet on several outcomes, choosing the total, the winner or a draw, the amount can be increased up to 5%. It is not recommended to guess the exact score, however. You can bet on the favourites, but be careful with the underdogs.

Catch-up or Martingale strategy is a more risky method based on the assumption that even an unlikely outcome can work out. It's like playing roulette: bet all the time on red, and sooner or later you will win. You will need a solid amount of free money to use this technique. The key to the strategy is that after a loss you need to place a bet, the profit from which will cover the costs of unsuccessful attempts. Bettors should choose outcomes with odds nearing 2 and stable throughout several matches. It is best to use this technique with football matches, betting on a draw or total.

With the anti-Martingale strategy, players do not increase their bet after a loss. It should be increased after a win, instead. With this technique, you should set a winning limit and fix profit having reached it. This is the only way to remain with a gain, because sooner or later the bet will not work, and in this case, all earnings will turn into zero.

Kelly strategy is based on mathematical calculations and is recommended for experienced gamblers. To use this strategy, you need to choose an outcome and oppose other options to it. To do this, you need to find the bias in the odds, calculate the probability of the chosen outcome and the wager itself using the Kelly criterion. This option is quite risky since it allows you to bet 20 or more per cent of the pot, which means that it will lead to significant losses in case of failure. There is also a high probability of an incorrect estimate of the bookmaker's range. The risk can be partially mitigated by lowering the wager.

When using the D'Alembert system, players do not rely on the winnings. They increase the size of their bet if they lose and lower it if they win. It is important to determine the constant amount of the bet. For example, in case of a loss, the amount of the subsequent bet is doubled, and in case of a win, the bet is reduced by the same amount. In this way, you can earn through the series. But there is an important condition for the odds. It must be at least 2. If it goes down, this strategy will be a loss maker.

The Grind method provides for an increase of the wager in case of a win and a decrease in case of a loss. The player determines the minimum wager amount. Such an algorithm involves lower risks, and a winning series will increase profits.

Miller's strategy is based on the fact that the size of the bet on an event should not exceed 1% of the initial pot. It is fixed until the gain reaches 25%. After that, we increase the wager, but again it should not exceed 1%. The strategy is based not on the quality of the bets, but their quantity. At the same time, bets amounting to 2% of the pot do not justify this method. 

60% profit betting strategy is simple but rather risky. Provided that its rules are respected, the pot will grow by 60%. Bettors wishing to try this method should break their pot into 5 parts - 1%, 4%, 9%, 24% and 62%. Every day, players must bet on events with odds close to 2. If the first 1% bet is lost the next wager should be now 4%, etc. When one wins, he starts to bet again from 1%. With this strategy, one should choose events carefully, since the probability of losing is high. This method is used quite rarely, because the profit at the end of the month is 60%, and the loss can reach 300% of the initial amount.

Ladder is a betting strategy in which the winnings from the previous wagers are used as bets on subsequent events. With a series of successful bets, the winning amount grows exponentially. The main disadvantage is that one single defeat will negate all achievements. Therefore, bettors must determine the sum of their maximum winnings in advance.

How to choose the best strategy?

When choosing a gambling strategy one should not think about possible earnings or focus on the risk of losing, but instead, take into account several factors. These include the size of the pot, chosen sports, amount of time the bettor can devote to betting, analytical skills, etc. It is best to start with simple and straightforward strategies that do not require significant costs or complex calculations. Having increased finances, one can allocate a portion for exploring some other techniques. After all, only having tested them, it is possible to choose the most efficient strategy that works for you.

Keep in mind, however, that strategies that operate flawlessly today may not work tomorrow. That is why, as in any other business, in betting you need to learn constantly, analyze statistics, track news, and take into account the opinions of analysts.
