Today, I would like to share with you the best sports betting strategies to make money more easily. Whether you are an amateur, intermediate or confirmed, I hope to teach you a little more about the techniques to put in place.
Obviously, it is not recommended to abuse sports betting. That’s also why it’s a very interesting subject, money management and discipline are 2 very important notions for betting, we will discuss it a little below.
No matter what sport you bet on, the strategies to put in place are pretty much the same.
First of all, we are going to evoke some points that I think it is wise to mention before talking about strategy.
A few Rules to Succeed in Sports Betting
- Don’t use the money you really need for sports betting.
- Sports betting should be a “bonus” with money you “allow” yourself or “can” lose.
- Only bet if you have a strategy.
- Only bet seriously, it is not a game. People who say “I bet to fool around” don’t know what they are doing.
- Don’t trust those around you
- Don’t listen to other people’s predictions.
- Make your own opinion
- Don’t listen to Facebook pages or pseudo-predictors who say they win every time.
Strategies for Making Sports Bets
The Bankroll
The first strategy that we are going to discuss together and surely one of the best known and most stable: creating a bankroll.
For those who are not familiar with this term, a bankroll is a sum of money that you designate as your overall budget for your bets. It is your capital.
With each bet, you will bet a certain percentage of your bankroll according to the degree of risk you are taking, without ever exceeding a percentage you have set (normally between 5 and 10%).
The principle of bankroll is simple. By making low bets in relation to your total capital, you minimize the risk and make a loss almost inconsequential. Indeed, losses will be “cashable” because of their small amount next to your capital.
La Martingale
Martingale is a strategy normally used to play roulette, which has been banned in casinos.
This technique can be used for sports betting if it is well mastered, although it is a little riskier.
What does it consist of?
It’s quite simple: You have to double your bet every time you lose, until you win (minimum odds of 2).
The rise
The idea is to choose predictions that are not very risky in order to secure the gain and to put back what we have won.
These are the 3 strategies that you are free to try and see which one suits you best.
To help you, here are some things to avoid and not to do when you make sports bets
- Betting all your money at once (or more than 10%)
- Betting on Monday
- Repairing quickly as soon as you’ve lost in order to “make up for it”.
- Betting by trusting a buddy without analyzing
- Make only “funs” (impossible bets in most cases)
- Paying someone to get so-called “reliable” predictions.
- Forcing yourself to bet
- Betting on sports you don’t know (the great classic of the NBA or ice hockey)
- Live for the bet
How to estimate your performance in sports betting?
Betting strategies are strategies that work over the long term. If you lose once or twice don’t stop thinking that these techniques don’t work, look at the long term.
Same if you win, don’t think that these strategies are miraculous and that you will win every time. It’s just a mix of discipline and common sense. It’s up to you to use them well and master them.
Know that used wisely, they can pay off big time.
To be a good sports bettor, of course you have to be knowledgeable about the sport you are betting on, but there are many other parameters such as analysis, strategy, money management and discipline.
