Today, you will not find a single user of the Internet and social networks who has never come across advertising of bookmakers. Fans with many years of experience, just sports fans and freebie hunters - everyone is trying to make a bet and win something in one way or another. It can be said unambiguously that it will not work to become a millionaire on bets, but it is possible to reduce the risks of loss.
The basics
In order to bet with less risk, you need to understand at least a little not only the sport itself, but also in a particular championship. Despite the fact that football is the same everywhere, the style of play in the championships is different. In Germany or Spain you can often find a score of 5-0, but in England or Russia such a result is very rare.
Knowing the lineup and playing style of specific teams also reduces risk. For example, knowing that the unstable Alexis Sanchez will start at the start, and not the young and promising Marcus Rashford, one can already assume in advance what the emphasis will be in the game of the football club "Manchester United".
Odds are an important aspect of any bet. Often the choice of one or another outcome depends on the “kef”. You should not bet a large amount on a small odds - although the chances are high, the risk (given the amount of the bet) increases significantly. In general, as far as odds are concerned, it is better to take into account from 1.6 to 2-2.5. The higher the odds, the more carefully you need to approach the selection of the event.
Also, the standings of the teams play a significant role when betting on the outcome. It is worth considering how many matches the team has in stock, what are the chances of achieving a result, and so on. For example, if a team copes with its assigned tasks in the regular season, and there is a cup match ahead, then most likely in the championship match the team may not play as it would like.
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to follow the news around the teams. For example, the expected transfer may affect the performance of a key player in the team. Within the team, there can be a conflict between the coach and the players, which also affects the result.
Live Betting
In addition to the usual bets, there are bets during the match. If the match is nearing the final, and the bet already made is on the verge of losing, you can try to hedge yourself directly in the process - bet, for example, on the opponent's victory or a draw. Depending on the odds, this can save the first bet, help to get back some of the lost money, and sometimes it can be profitable.
Also, in the "live" mode, you can simply bet on the total of goals scored / corners / yellow cards. Taking into account the team statistics, the course of the game and the manner of refereeing, it is easy to predict whether more goals will be scored, cards shown or corners taken.
Selling rates
Recently, many bookmakers have the opportunity to sell a bet, in other words, to pick it up ahead of schedule. If you are not sure about the chosen result, sometimes it is worth selling the bet and returning at least a part of the bet amount. By the way, selling your bet sometimes you can even stay in the black. It all depends on the conditions of a particular bookmaker.
Of course, these are not all the subtleties and features of sports betting. These are just the basic principles, adhering to which you can significantly reduce the risks when betting on football.
