1 Man Vs Bookie The 3 ways to make profit betting on Football

2 Sports Betting can be one of the most exciting and rewarding forms of entertainment and is enjoyed by millions of people around the world. In recent years betting online has become the most popular way of enjoying this pastime, thousands of sports betting sites have sprung up on the internet and as well as online bookmakers. As you are reading this right now, the likelihood is that you are one of these people who are looking for a little guidance on how to become a better bettor. I'll take you briefly through the whole process from, some background, to opening an account, to making some extra cash while having fun along the way. The basic idea of sports betting for me is it takes an exciting game of sports and puts it on a whole new level. When you have a vested interest in the outcome of a game because you have placed sports bets on it, you can really become part of the excitement. You don't just watch the game/race that's the whole nature of sports betting and why it is becoming so popular. This is NOT one of those guides that tells you "you can become a professional sports trader and earn 10k a month just like me" Because: A. No professional sports trader making 10k a month writes a free ebook B. You and I have jobs to do, bills to pay and families to look after & C. We don't have the 100k+ lying around needed to get started. The sports betting I'm talking about is the telling your mates you won 100 on Saturday on the match or that you backed a golfer at 100/1 after visiting and took your partner out for a slap up meal with the winnings. You'll be betting for FUN, betting as a HOBBY, that makes you some extra cash each month. OK lets get started, first you'll need an account; I suggest even if you're only betting as a casual hobby to open more than one account as having only one account will not cover all the markets you want to bet on plus it means you'll receive two lots of sign up bonuses that all bookmakers now offer. The two I use most since researching all bookmakers I could find are: Bet Victor Free 25 sign up bonus Best weekly offers (money back, free bets etc.) Cover the best Football markets offering the best odds (as per their adverts) Open your Bet Victor Account here for a chance to receive free bets from us. **Added reason to sign up to Bet Victor: If you're going to be following our football tips on site, they almost exclusively offer the markets we mastered last season like: Man of the Match, Most Tackles, To be Carded etc. (more on these later) Bet 365 Free matched deposit up to 200 (the largest amount available) Most in-play markets

OK so now you have your accounts ready, the next decision to make is what are you going to bet on and what kind of bettor are you going to be? In the casual sports betting world most people bet on sports events which they can watch and talk about to their friends. It's as much about the social side of it as it is the betting. The example we're going to use is the most popular sport: Football or Soccer if you're reading this in Australia/Ireland/America. There are up to a 100 markets available to bet on, on any one football match. Win/Draw/win, Goal Scorer, Number of Corners, Both teams to Score, Under 2.5 goals, Over 2.5 goals, you get the idea, the list is almost endless. What markets are you going to bet on? Are you going to bet on single markets, multiple bets/accumulators, short prices or value big prices? Accumulators Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City & Barcelona all to win on their own they are very short prices but in an accumulator it could be a good return. 'Both teams to score' is a similar market that have grown in popularity. Advantages: Gives you a lot of entertainment for a small outlay Better return than betting on the teams individually Don't need to win every bet to make a profit Disadvantages: Sometimes there are odds that are just not worth betting on (not good value) both teams to score is one example of this, Previously your were offered 5/6 for all games, now as it's grown bookies sometimes are only offering 4/7 or less = No Value Bookies love people who bet on accumulators, they say it pays their pension You may find yourself losing a few weeks in a row Short Priced Singles A lot of people will say to you that singles are the only way to make consistent long term profit and in a way I agree with them, the singles mentioned are often what are called 'bankers' by their nature are usually odds on. 8/11, 4/6 etc. examples are: Man Utd to win, Messi to score, Both teams to Score. Advantage High frequency of winning bets Allows you to bet more often Disadvantages You need to win more than 50% of the time to make a profit If you get on a bad run, it can be difficult to get back into profit in the short term Somewhere in between: Singles + Doubles & Trebles

4 After Sports betting for over 10 years this is the type of betting that I believe, used in conjunction with the value singles below, will make consistent profit in the long term. Lets say Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo were both 2/1 money to score a goal in their games at the weekend: 5 Messi 2/1 win returns 15 5 Ronaldo 2/1 win returns 15 5 double 8/1 win returns 45 So if both score, which is what you think will happen, your profits are = 60 plus your original 15 so you turned 15 into 75. If only one scored, you make 10 profit plus original stake of 5 = 15, but you lose the other 10. This means you have not won anything but again you have not lost, leaving you to fight another day. This is what s know as a cover bet/saver. You wouldn't have put both of them in a double if you weren't very confident that at least one would score. If you had just done the double you would have simply lost 5. Value Single Bets: If you have been following our progress over the last few months, you will know that this is where we have made significant profit in certain new markets. These markets are predominately offered by Bet Victor, for example Man of the Match, Most Tackles, Most Shots, To be Carded. In association I think is the reason for our success: In the past Bookmakers have always had a 'house edge' over us punters. Up until very recently they had; better technology, more contacts and more up to date team news. Their 'edge' meant that they had all the statistics and info. to price up a market and give themselves an advantage. So what's changed? The two main components are 'The Internet' and 'Competition' The Internet: Remember the 'edge' of technology, the internet means we now have all the stats, team information that we could ever want, removing that particular advantage. An example: Most Tackles (Bet Victor) Oscar 20/1 v Benfica (Europa Cup Final 2013) For a start we know there is no secret database, we know Bet Victor uses whoscored.com or Opta therefore so shall we. On the site we can research all the same stats as the bookies. Here's where you can give yourself an advantage: Lets take the scenario that you're a Bet Victor trader and one of your responsibilities is to price up the Most Tackles market. This is a niche market (not a priority) so you go onto whoscored.com get up Chelsea's last 5 games and see who made the most tackles and price the top 5 players accordingly; defenders and defensive midfielders then you get to the attackers and see Oscar the Brazilian attacking player, hasn't made most tackles in the last 5 games. He doesn't look like a player who would be very physical and price him at 20/1. Then you add the other attacking players prices and get on with your day. Now this is where we come in: We have the same stats as the Bet Victor trader but we have more time to research and we know what we're looking for, which means we now have the opportunity to give ourselves an 'edge'. The 3 favourites in this market were Luiz, Ramieres & Matic all 7/2 which is too short a price for us. did what the Bet Victor trader didn't and dug a bit deeper. This is what he came up with: Benfica play a formation which means the possession and therefore the tackles will be in different positions on the field from a side that played for example. The 4 times Chelsea had played a side with this formation that season, the tackle stats looked like this;

5 Tottenham Torres 7, Oscar 5 Man Utd Oscar 4, Lampard 3 Swansea Oscar 5, Luiz 5 Liverpool Oscar 6, Luiz 3 When you take this into account why is Luiz 7/2 & Oscar 20/1? Here is the winning slip: These are the markets that we concentrate on and make big profit. The bookies no longer have an 'edge'. We have also had a number of big wins on similar markets like Man of the Match where we can see the same stats, previous ratings, previous matches the same as the Bookie. Now a quick look at the other driving factor of us reducing and eliminating the Bookmakers 'edge' that they had for so long: Competition: The UK Gambling industry earned 5.5bn in 2012 and where there is that amount of money to be made, there will be people who want a cut of it. If you have a TV, read newspapers, go online or indeed have not been under a rock for the last 3 years you'll know there are hundreds of online Bookmakers, Casino's and Bingo providers. This means competition and of course a battle between providers for your business. This is a good thing for us and we need to make the most of the special offers available, such as price enhancements and bonuses. We have a Deal of the Day page on our site and I have lost count of the number of times we have benefited from using them even if it's just getting our money back. Summary: Keep it FUN Open a couple of accounts, starting with the ones above, (you don't need to have big balances in them, just put a 5 at a time if you like, it's free to deposit and withdraw) Make the most of the opening bonuses and offers available, it's not often you get something for nothing these days. If you are going to bet on 50/1 accumulators on a Saturday afternoon be prepared not to win too often, if you do one a week and get two 50/1 winners, you are doing well and will be in profit. Don't throw good money after bad. If you lose, take it on the chin, go and research your next bet. Don't throw 5 away on a virtual horse race.
