Guide for becoming a Sharp Bettor | Second Part

football pitchAfter I told you how to find the profitable bets and how to calculate the betting amount, we have to take a look at the most safe and profitable bets. The most important quality here is the patience! If you are in a hurry – you will never record a good winning percentage!

For those who are patient enough, I strongly recommend betting on the ante post markets. However, there is no sense in choosing only one outcome, but you must make an accumulator bet. The advantage here is that a single match can’t ruin your bet!

I am sure you are now thinking: “Oh, I am going to predict who is going to win the division – that’s easy!” No, it’s not an easy task! Things usually are not as easy as they look, especially when you are gambling. You now know how to calculate the single probability percentage, but if you are going to bet on an accumulator – you need to know how to calculate your winning chances. Even if you pick 10 events on odds of 1.10 – you will see that the probability of winning the slip is 38.51%. Why that low? The chance of winning a single bet on 1.10 is 90.9%, but when it is an accumulator you must multiply all the percentages!

So, you must look for markets, which are less risky. For example, betting on a team to finish in the Top 6 of The Championship is way more riskless, than determining the champions! However, I still think that only picking such bets, without any further calculations is doomed to a loss. Moreover, you must estimate the teams’ chances before betting. Then, you must look for a sports arbitrage, which will not be a complete, but it will again reduce the risk levels.

What’s incomplete sports arbitrage? I am going to tell you in my next article. I hope I have been useful to you!
