Sports Betting Strategies

If it weren’t for strategies, most punters would be incredibly broke. Using strategies are a must if you want to win money regularly, so here’s everything you need to know about sports betting strategies.

1. Strategies aren’t scary

When one says the word ‘strategy’ about sports betting, it conjures up dreadful images of painstaking plans, accurate statistics, and a whole bunch of calculations. This is only partly true. While there are some sports betting tactics out there that require a whole lot of math that would take someone new to sports betting ages to figure out (i.e., the Labouchere or the Reverse Labouchere); there are also others that are much easier to understand and apply. A sports betting strategy can be as simple as betting on the home team every time or increasing your stake on your next bet each time you lose. The point is, there is something out there for everyone, and strategies aren’t as daunting as they may first seem.

2. Different strategies for different situations

There are a ton of sports betting strategies out there. But that doesn’t mean that you can pick one or two at random and use it whenever you like, wherever you want. Some don’t work in certain situations. Take the one where you bet on the home team. As you may understand, although most a majority of wins take place in a team’s or a player’s home stadium, this truth won’t always hold. Consider an association match taking place between Juventus and Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani, the latter’s home stadium. Although Empoli has the home advantage, it is more likely that Juventus, the stronger team, will come out victorious. So, ensure that the strategy you are employing fits in with what you’re betting on.

To further elaborate, strategies like progressive betting only works in quick bursts. You cannot make too many continuous bets using this system, whereas tactics like hedging or arbing work out great in the long run.

3. They don’t guarantee a win

Although strategies are incredibly helpful, there isn’t a one-way ticket to gains and profits. They act as an aid, either by reducing the risk involved in betting or by increasing your earnings if you do win. No betting system or tactic, algorithm, machine, or even octopuses can accurately predict the future. All one can do is make an educated guess based on existing information, and strategies exist to make this decision easier.
