Today, bets in a bookmaker can be attributed to a certain category of investment. At the same time, such business investments are very risky, since the organizer of rates, in turn, makes it his priority to make a profit. My experience of investing in bets was based on a number of principles and strategies, and participation in this type of financial investment determined the understanding of the essence of bets: the bookmaker does not earn on the loss of the bettor – it is always in the black, because it plays on the difference in odds.
For example, there are two events with the same chances of success, while event A has a coefficient of 1.9 and event B also has 1.9 (and not 2) – thus, the bookmaker receives its small percentage for any outcome.
So, my investment began with the choice of strategy. Today there are a lot of them, I settled on two:
1. Cycle. It represents bets on the continuation of a series (outcome, totals, etc.). This strategy is good in that it is the least risky, although not as profitable as catch-up.
2. Catching up. With this type of bet, you must constantly bet on a certain event, waiting for the desired result. This strategy is characterized by continuous investment.
With an initial bank of 100 thousand rubles, it was necessary to divide the amount in half and, accordingly, leave 50 thousand for each strategy.
The investment scheme of the “cycle” type did not require impressive initial investments, but at the same time it did not give a very tangible profit at the output. I became a fan of betting where my chosen team scored one or more goals in a match.
Bookmakers did not give large odds for these events – as a rule, around 1.6. It turned out that in order to increase the invested investments in one theoretically successful cycle by 10 times , it was necessary to win five times in a row.
It seemed not very much, but sometimes returns slipped – it turned out that in order to increase the amount tenfold, it was necessary not to lose at least 8 matches in a row. As a result, the series ended successfully, and the profit was increased by 10 times.
Investing in bets on the principle of “catching up” I was lucky for a certain time. So, it was necessary to independently, using statistical data, choose matches in which one particular team cannot win in the regular season for at least three rounds.It was necessary, so to speak, “catch up” the success of the team.
Always recession is replaced by a less good result – such series in the end are interrupted. Investing “Dogon” did not bring in addition to the result – the chosen team finished his speech in the championship and losing all the remaining matches. From this we can conclude that this strategy is not ideal, and it is not worth investing in it.
In conclusion, I would like to share the acquired experience in investing in the bet. First, I clearly realized that this type of business attachments do not have anything in common with excitement, ludomania, etc. These are the same regular investments as attachments to any business project, securities or mutual effects.
Risks The same, profits by and large the same. Secondly, I realized that this is not a game – it is important to choose the right strategy, not to rely on may not be a panic with temporary failures, and most importantly – to clearly adhere to the strategy planned.
And the third, just the most important thing – it is necessary to choose the scheme correctly, because it will be impossible to get out of the game without loss. It will be necessary to complete the started.
