How to make sports bets, so as not to become bankrupt
Today we will talk about how to make sports betting not only a fascinating hobby, but also (attention, sarcasm!) A potential source of income. Yes, yes, I know that you already imagine how you will swim in the money, drinking Mojito at Bali while your bets bring you millions. But before you begin to dream of a yacht and a personal helicopter, let's figure out how not to lose the last pants in this exciting but dangerous world of sports bets.
Why have you already lost, even if you haven't started
Let's cleanly: if you think that sports bets are an easy way to earn, then you are either a genius or a naive optimist. Statistics say that 98% of the players will sooner or later drain their deposits. And you know what is the most offensive? They all thought that they would fall into the same 2%.
But do not rush to close the article and run to sell your sneakers to repay debts. I’m not here to scare you, but in order to help you minimize risks and, possibly, even go into a plus. Well, or at least not sell the kidney.
Fundamentals of survival: how not to become a victim of excitement
Budget is your best friend
The first and most important rule: never put more than you can afford to lose. Yes, it sounds trite, but it is this rule that 99% of players violate.
Imagine: you put 1000 rubles per match, lost, then decided to recoup and put 2000, then 5000 ... And now you are already sitting with an empty wallet and thinking how to explain to your wife where the salary took place.
Tip: allocate a certain amount at the rates (for example, 5% of the salary) and never exceed this limit. If you lost, stop. If you won, rejoice, but do not put everything back.
Do not believe in "Verchiki"
"This match will definitely win the team A, they are the favorite!" - You say, putting the last money. And then team B suddenly wins, and you stay with empty pockets and broken dreams.
Remember: there is nothing guaranteed in sports. Even the strongest teams sometimes lose to outsiders. Therefore, never put everything in one match, even if it seems to you that this is a “vernak”.
Analyze, but do not overdo it
Analysis is important. But if you spend more time in the study of statistics than to communicate with your family, then perhaps you have overdid it.
Tip: Study the main factors that affect the result of the match: team forms, player injuries, motivation, weather, etc. But do not try to take into account everything - this is impossible.
Strategies: how to minimize risks and maximize winnings
Dogon Strategy
This is one of the most popular strategies , which, incidentally, most often leads to bankruptcy. The essence is simple: you put on a certain outcome, and if you lose, then increase the rate in the next match to recoup.
The problem is that sooner or later your money will end, and a series of losses can be long. Therefore, this strategy needs to be used with caution and only with a clear limit.
Flat strategy
This is a safer approach. You put a fixed amount for each match, regardless of previous results. Thus, you minimize risks and do not lose your head in the pursuit of wagging.
Strategy "Wilchist"
This is already for advanced players. The bottom line is to find Discrepancies (differences) in the coefficients of different bookmakers and put on opposite outcomes so that in any case remain in the plus.
But be careful: bookmakers do not like forks and can block your account.
Psychology: How not to go crazy
Do not succumb to emotions
Emotions are your main enemy. If you have just lost a large amount, do not try to recoup right away. Most likely, you will make another stupid bet and lose even more.
Tip: If you lost, pause. Take a walk, drink tea, take care of something else. Return to bets with a cold head.
Do not believe in "black stripes"
"I have lost 5 times in a row, which means that I will win the next match for sure!" - This is a dangerous delusion. Each bet is an independent event, and previous results do not affect future.
Do not put under alcohol
This is not even discussed. Alcohol and bets are like fire and gasoline. Nothing good will come of it.
Conclusion: bets are not a way to get rich
Let's be honest: sports bets are entertainment, not work. If you want to earn stably, it is better to find a normal job or open your business.
But if you still decide to try your hand at bets, remember: the main thing is discipline, analysis and control of emotions. And do not forget that even the most successful players sometimes lose.
Good luck! And remember: bets are like a relationship with your ex -wife - the less you invest, the less you lose.
