How Can You Benefit From Football Bets?

Football fans who are starting to play in bookmakers are wondering, is it possible to make money on football bets in general? And it is reasonable. After all, before you engage in any activity related to financial risks, you need to soberly weigh everything and assess your chances of success.

Is the game worth the candle? Definitely worth it, because betting on football in betting shops – these are unlimited opportunities for profit, if you do not make mistakes. How to make money on bets on football and not step on the rake of losing players – more on that later.

The main reasons for losing in football betting

Emotions are one of the reasons why players cannot earn money on football betting.

  • Loss of control over emotions, which can happen after both wins and losses.
  • Bets on your favorite team, which we support, we wish it victory and, therefore, overestimate.
  • The game is all-in, killing thousands of novice players.
  • Poor or even lack of analysis of football matches for bets.
  • Bets on the so-called sure and secure bets imposed by public opinion.
  • Wrong choice of betting shop. Not only must a bookmaker be reliable and have good conditions for betting, it must also suit you and your style of play.
  • Betting on leagues in which the player does not understand. To rely only on luck is a tactic doomed to failure. It is impossible to be successful without knowing the features of the tournament, the rules, the possibilities of the teams.

Betting tips on football in betting shops

  • Do not rush to play for money, if you do not have experience in betting. For some time, write down the stakes on paper or in a document, or open a demo account to get into this area and at the same time see what the results will be.
  • Be sure to use strategy in football betting. This should be your individual system, including a game and financial strategy. The first one allows you to correctly select matches and outcomes for betting, while authoring – to distribute money correctly between bets.
  • Do not play when you are in a bad mood and especially when you are intoxicated. Also, do not need to bet after several losses. When you feel that the nerves are on the limit or tired – take a rest, maybe even for a few days. Switch to another activity, do what you love.
  • Never place bets without prior analysis. At the same time do a deep pre-match analysis – consider all the details, listen to the opinions of experts, carefully study the statistics, read the latest news from the camp of the teams.
  • From time to time arrange debriefing to understand your mistakes. Identify what is most often the cause of losses, look for patterns. It may be worth refusing to use certain types of bets, not to bet on certain tournaments or not to play at all on specific days.
  • Watch regular matches, reviews, read news and analysis. If you want to make money on betting, football should be for you the center of the universe. It is necessary to know all the nuances and subtleties, because they often decide the outcome of matches.
  • Learn to think differently than others and see what others do not want. If to beat the bookmaker is very difficult, because he is smarter, has the advantage in the form of margin and better informed, then you must compete with other players – the majority. As wisdom says, staking against the crowd is a profitable value.
  • Do not put funds that are allocated for other needs. There is nothing worse in betting than fear losing money. And never, under any circumstances, take a loan to win. This is the verdict and the right path to the addiction.
  • Use football predictions from professional analysts that allow you to find a profitable bet, make sure your thoughts are correct, and in some cases find out new match information.
  • In order to understand how to make money on football betting, of course, it’s not enough to familiarize yourself with the main mistakes of minus players and use the right advice. Every day you need to work on yourself, try different strategies, improve your analytical skills, live football and be aware of all the important events. Football betting is hard work, but highly paid.

Types of bets on football: double chance, handicap, total, main outcome and others.

As a rule, beginners want to make their first football bet as quickly as possible, without bothering themselves with various educational information. This is fundamentally the wrong approach, because, due to the lack of basic knowledge, you can lose money just by not understanding certain features of bets.

Basic knowledge includes, first of all, the types of bets on football and their designation in betting shops. Pay attention to this issue today.

What is the main outcome in football betting?

The main outcome – bets on the main result of a football match: the victory of the first team, a draw, the victory of the second team. Denoted by Home, X and Away respectively.

Example: we bet $100 on Away in the match Marseille – Atletico with odds of 1.73. If Atletico wins, the winnings will be $173. If Marcel wins or draws, we lose all the money.

What is a double chance and how is it designated?

Double Chance – a variation of the main outcome, where each bet combines two scenarios. Hence the name – two chances. 1X – the victory of the first team or a draw, 12 – the absence of a draw, X2 – failure of the second team.

Example: set $1000 for 12 in the match Bayer – Wolfsburg with odds of 1.30. We are satisfied with Home or Away – the victory of one of the teams in the match. In this case, the gain is $1300. We lose only on condition that the fight ends in a draw.

What is total in football betting?

Total in football means the number of goals scored in a match. The total can have two values ​​- Over or Under. The total is more indicated as Over, and the total is less – Under. After the number is indicated – the number of goals scored. Over (2.5) bet means that there will be more than 2.5 goals in a match. Under (2.5) bet is total Under 2.5 goals scored.

Example: set $100 to Over (2.5) in a Chelsea – Arsenal match at a bet of 1.90. If in a duel more than 2.5 goals are scored, that is, 3 or more, the bet will win and we will get a profit of 190 dollars. For example, the score will be 2:1, because three goals are scored. The bet will lose when there are less than 2.5 goals in the match, that is 2 or less.

It is also possible to bet on the total Over or Under, in which there will be a return – a calculation with odds of 1.0. This can be with integer totals – 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, etc. For example, set to Over (2.0). Less than two goals – a win, more than two – a win, exactly two goals – a return.

What is the individual total in football betting?

Individual total – a bet on the number of goals scored by one team. Indicated in bookmakers as IT and can be with a value of O – Over and U – Under than a certain total. For example, Home Over (2.5) means that the first team will score more than 2.5 goals.

Example: we put 100 euros on Away Over (1.5) in the match Lazio – Napoli with odds of 1.70. Thus, it is a bet that Napoli, the second team, will be able to score more than 1.5 goals. If Napoli scores 2 or more goals, we win 170 euros. If 0 or 1, that is, less than 1.5, then a loss.

By analogy with the total, there is an option to return when betting on an integral individual total. For example, Away Over (1.0) – a gain with two or more goals scored by a team, a loss in the absence of goals and a return if the selected team scores exactly 1 ball.

What does handicap mean in football betting?

Handicap or Asian handicap – bets on victory with a certain advantage, which is given to one of the teams. To win a bet, it is necessary that the chosen team win, given this advantage. Handicap can be negative, plus and zero. Consider all the options:

Minus handicap – a bet that the team will win with a difference of several goals. For example, Home(-1.5) means that the first team must win with an advantage of more than 1.5 goals. That is a victory of two or more goals.

Plus handicap – a bet that the team will not lose with a difference in a certain number of goals. For example, Home(+1.5) stands for failure of the first team in more than 1.5 goals. In other words, will arrange a victory, a draw or a defeat with a difference of one goal. In other cases – losing the bet.

Zero handicap – a bet for winning, according to which when a bet is drawn, it is calculated as a return. For example, Home(0) – the victory of the first team. If a draw is a return, the defeat of the first team is the loss of a bet.

Handicaps – integer and non-integer. If Asian handicap is not integer, then only loss and winnings of the bet are possible, for example, at a bet of Away(+2.5), since it is impossible to score half a goal in football. In the case of integer – Home (0), Home (-1), Home (-2) – there may be a return.

Example: we bet 200 dollars on Home (-2) in the match Bavaria – Augsburg with a factor of 2.00. If Bayern wins by a margin of three or more goals, the bet is worth $400. When Bavaria wins exactly two goals – return. For any other result – losing a bet.

In order to understand whether the bet has played or not, it is necessary to add the selected odds to the final score. Imagine that the player chose Home (-1.5) for the Inter-Torino match, and the match ended with the score 3:1. Taking into account the odds, we get 1.5:1, that is, after adding the odds to the result, the score in favor of Inter won.

What is a time match in football betting?

Time match – a bet that combines the outcome of the first half and the football match as a whole. In this form of betting, the result of the first half of the game is indicated first, and then the result of the match. For example, Home/X – in the first half, the first team (Home) will win, but the match will end in a draw (X).

Example: put 10 dollars on X Away in the match Valencia – Atletico with odds of 2.80. The bet will be advantageous if in the 1st half there will be a draw, but Atletico will win the match. Income will be 28 dollars. Consequently, any other variants of the development of the event are a loss.

What is the bet on the exact score in football?

Exact score – bets on the final result of a football match, everything is simple. If the bet is on the exact score 3:1, then it is necessary that the first team win 3:1, everything else is a loss of money.

Example: we put $100 on the exact score 2:2 in the match Real – Liverpool with a factor of 12.00. If the main game time ends with a score of 2:2, the player will win $1200. Any other final score is a losing bet.

What are express bets in football betting?

All bets considered above are single or, as they are also called, ordinars – a bet for one match. The calculation in this case is quite simple – the amount of the bet is multiplied by the odds. We put 100 dollars on the outcome with odds of 1.50. Winnings – 150 cu, where 50 – net profit minus the size of the bet.

Express – a bet that includes the outcome of several football games. The final odds are formed as a result of multiplying the odds of all outcomes added to the express. An express bet wins only when all events pass, and if at least one does not play, then the entire express loses.

Example: we put 10 dollars on the express, which includes the following events: Home in the match PSG – Monaco with a factor of 1.50, Over (2.5) in the game Sparta – Slavia with a factor of 2.00 and Away in the Arsenal – Chelsea match for 3.00. The total bet of the express bet is 9.00. If the results of all three matches are predicted correctly, the gain will be $90. In the event that at least one outcome in the express does not work, the whole bet will be losing.

What is a football betting system?

System – another type of betting in bookmakers, which, along with singles and expresses, is considered the main one. System – a more advanced version of expresses, the main advantage of which is the ability to get a prize when one or several outcomes lose. We can say that this is the same express bet, only with the right to make mistakes. With the system, all possible expressions from the selected outcomes are formed.

Each system has its own dimension, which is chosen by the player. If three events are added, then only dimension 2 out of 3 can be chosen. If four, then there is a choice – 2 out of 4 or 3 out of 4. Five outcomes – 2 out of 5, 3 out of 5, 4 out of 5. And so on. How to understand what these numbers mean in the dimension of systems? The second – the number of events selected by the player, the first – the number of outcomes in each formed express.

Example: we put 10 dollars on a system of dimension 3 out of 4 – only four events, and each express will have three outcomes. Thus, all variants of the system are automatically formed – four expresses, and, therefore, each of them will have $2.5. For ease of calculation, we take a factor of 2.00 for each of the four fights.

First express – match number 1, 2 and 3.

Second – match number 1, 2 and 4.

Third – match number 1, 3 and 4.

Fourth – match number 2, 3, 4.

To win, it is enough to play 3 of 4 events. If two or more fail, then the whole system will lose. For example, only match number 2 is not played. It turns out that only the third express will be winning. Its total bet is 8.00. Winnings – $20. That is, the net profit is $10.

These are the main types of bets on football in bookmakers, which you need to know for beginners. But this is not all options for betting. There are still many additional outcomes in the bookmakers’ action line: both will score/at least one will not score, the authors of goals, totals and half-time outcomes, combined bets like Home + Over (2.5) and many others.

There are also long-term bets – winners of tournaments, top league scorers, the next club coach, etc. Recently, more and more in demand are bets on football statistics: corner cards, yellow cards, offsides, fouls and more. Having basic knowledge, it will not be difficult for you to deal with their features.
