Betting on football is a gambling entertainment that can bring not only pleasure, but also profit. But it is important to approach this matter wisely: having studied all the nuances and pitfalls, so as not to become a victim of bookmakers.

Learn the basics

1. Understanding the different types of bets:

Match outcome: Example: You bet 100$ on Manchester United’s victory over Liverpool with odds of 1.8. If Manchester United wins, you win 180$ (100 * 1.8).

Handicap: Example: You bet 100$ on Barcelona with a handicap of -1 against Real Madrid with odds of 2.0. Barcelona must beat Real Madrid by more than one goal for you to win. If Barcelona wins 2:1, you win 200$ (100 * 2.0). Use the 1xBet Login and place your bets on Top events.

Total: Example: You bet 100$ on the total over 2.5 goals in the match “Bayern” – “Borussia Dortmund” with odds of 1.7. If 3 or more goals are scored in the match, you win 170$ (100 * 1.7).

Bets on players: Example: You bet 500$ on Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal in the Manchester United – Newcastle match with odds of 1.5. If Ronaldo scores a goal, you win 750$ (500 * 1.5).

2. Odds:

Reflect the probability of an event: the higher the coefficient, the less likely its occurrence. Example: The odds for Real Madrid’s victory in the match with Barcelona are 1.5, and for Barcelona’s victory – 3.0. This means that bookmakers believe Real Madrid have a better chance of winning.

Bookmaker’s Margin: Example: If the odds on an event are 2.0, then the bookmaker’s margin is about 7.7% ((1 – 1/2.0) * 100).

Risk assessment

Don’t bet more than you can afford to lose. Example: If your monthly income is 3000$, then you should not bet more than 300$ (10% of your income) on one bet.

Study the statistics and analytics of the match. Example: Before placing a bet on Chelsea to win the match with Manchester City, study the statistics of the meetings of these teams, their current form, composition, etc.C.

Don’t get emotional. Example: Do not bet on your favorite team to win if it objectively has less chance of success.

Develop a strategy

1. Determine your budget:

• Set a fixed amount for each bet. Example: You can allocate 100$ per week for bets.
• Don’t chase losses. Example: If you lost 200$, do not bet 300$ in the hope of winning back.
• Keep records of your expenses. Example: Record all your bets, wins and losses

2. Select bet type:

• Decide which bet types suit you best. Example: Do you like to bet on the outcome of matches, or do you prefer betting on totals or handicaps?
• Don’t bet on everything. Example: It’s best to focus on a few bet types that you understand well.

3. Select league/tournament

• Do not bet on all leagues and tournaments in a row. Example: Select a few leagues/tournaments that you know well and can analyze matches in.
• Learn the specifics of each league/tournament. Example: There are usually a lot of goals scored in the Premier League, and fewer in Serie A.

4. Use bid management systems:

• There are many different bid management systems. Example: Martingale system, Fibonacci system, flat system.
• Study these systems and choose the one that suits you. Example: The flat system involves betting a fixed amount on each match, regardless of the odds.

Use additional resources

1. There are many websites and forums dedicated to football betting.
2. On these resources you can find match forecasts, analytics, betting tips, etc.
3. Use these resources, but do not rely on them completely. Example: Analyze the matches yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Be disciplined

1. Stick to your strategy and don’t deviate from it. Example: If you decide to bet using the flat system, do not bet more than what is set by the system, even if you are confident that the team will win.
2. Don’t bet under the influence of emotions. Example: Do not bet on your favorite team if it objectively has a lower chance of success.
3. Analyze your results. Example: Keep a record of your bets and analyze which ones were successful and which ones were not.
