Best and Most Popular Betting Strategies for Football. Part 1
Maksym YushytsynNowadays there is free access to tens and even hundreds possible strategies or systems that promise a user significant revenues in a few minutes. However, the majority of such strategies are not checked properly. To avoid applying such strategies, you have to initially consider popular strategies tested by time.
It is noteworthy that the majority of strategies are related to one kind of sports – football. So it is important to consider only such strategies.
Today’s article covers the most popular strategies for football.
Bets on Favourites
The first popular strategy is intended for, mainly, beginners who prefer betting on leading world-class football teams only. The strategy is simple and profitable in the long-term.
Let us set a few rules that are essential while choosing matches:
- Do not take matches with undersized quotations before the beginning of the meeting. Do not even think of something less than 1.3. It is also important to skip matches where the odds for favourite’s victory is extremely undersized several days prior to the beginning of the meeting;
- Choose underestimated favourites. As a rule, there is a decrease of odds towards the outsider at such battles. Such battles happen in lines daily.
Let us also tell you about two ways to increase the initial quotations:
- The first way is rather simple – instead of a bet on clear victory, choose handicap 1. The odds will be higher but there is a chance to return your money, if the victory is with one goal;
- Bet Live, after 15-20 minutes. By the middle of the first time the bookmakers may increase the odds for victory of the favourite of the match referring to the spent time or goal moments over the spent time. If a better is confident about their own choice, it is better to bet after the increase of the odds.
Betting in Favour of Outsiders
The second strategy is designed for professional bettors who know how to start out from their own knowledge but not from the presented odds. It isn’t difficult to find such events. Let’s take a look at a row of popular cases when favourites lose points in battles against outsiders:
- Guest battles. When you are at home, surrounded by fans, an outsider is likely to oppose to even the most reputable opponents. In any case, even a guest favourite is likely to choose a careful game from defendants;
- Battles after matches in European cups. As a rule, after a match in European cups, a team is not able to fully recover and get prepared for the next match. This is why teams lose points in the majority of cases, even when they play with pure outsiders;
- Matches in local cups. In local cups medium-class teams tend to release a lineup trying to make the gaming practice rotate. In these cases outsiders get a real chance to succeed. Let us also say that when outsiders proceed to the next round, they get extra prize money which is a big plus for the team’s revenue;
- Absence of key footballers in the favourite’s lineup. If a favourite of a meeting has a lack of footballers, you should not be sure about the favourite's easy win. The battle is likely to finish with minimal advantage for the stronger team;
- Underestimated teams. Every day you can easily find matches where the odds for the favourite is low which makes the situation more favourable for the opposite bet.
It is also essential to make an analysis of each battle to find suitable options. You should also not bet on outsiders live. It is more profitable to place a bet before the meeting starts looking for available options for a potential bet.
Live Bets
Live betting is a problematic task as it demands not only knowledge but skills to catch profitable odds during the meeting.
To succeed in live betting, you should keep in mind two important factors:
- Fast analysis of the chosen event;
- Knowledge of all possible peculiarities, statistics and patterns.
This strategy is helpful for professional gamblers only as they can estimate the situation swiftly and predict a probable scenario of the chosen match.
Bets on Statistical Figures
As we know today plenty of bookmakers offer bet lines for statistics. Besides, you can also find both bets before the beginning of the meeting and live. Professional gamblers know that bookmakers do not treat statistical figures with due attention so they sometimes set unjustified figures there. You should use such bets, especially if we take into account all available resources where you can see the figures.
But it is also profitable to make bets before the match and Live. Betting before the start of the meeting is money-making in case bookmakers overestimate sum indicators of the teams. For example, a bettor calculates that ten corner goals will be played and the bookmaker offers TO 6.5. Admittedly, in this case it is more profitable to make a bet before the match.
Bets on National Teams
Bookmakers initially set insupportable odds for national teams taking into account only rating of teams instead of their possible powers. It will not be hard to estimate the powers of teams. You should also keep in mind the possible teamwork in these rosters. As a rule, a high level of teamwork helps a roster achieve great results. And if a national team is going through changes, you should gamble against the team.
Another important factor is team’s motivation. So it should not be ignored while looking for a match.
Catch-up With Draws
The last popular strategy over the last three years is related to bets on draws. In this case a bettor needs to have some money in your account to make several consecutive bets while increasing every new bet.
First of all, it is important to choose a championship or a tournament where a draw is expected. As a rule, average figures in draws at championship are 20%-30%. You should initially increase the percentage choosing the most profitable championship.
To avoid disappointment with the strategy, at first you should prepare money for at least 10 following bets. For starters, you should gamble with a minimum sum. Consequently, if the results are positive, you should raise the sum of the first bet.
If your bet loses, you should apply the catch-up strategy where the sum of the following bet doubles. As a result, if another bet is positive out of ten (at least), the bettor will get the reward they deserve.
As the statistics of draws shows, the chance to lose is minimal, especially if your choice of football events is accurate.
Conclusion
The enlisted strategies are to help every bettor with earning money with the help of football bets.
