Which strategy to choose when betting? Tips from the Professionals

Betting on sports is not only entertainment, but also an opportunity to earn additional income, however, success in this field depends not so much on luck as on an intelligent approach and effective strategies. So now let’s look at the main sports betting strategies professionals use to increase their chances of winning. But before becoming a player and choosing a strategy for betting on sports, familiarize yourself with all the risks and treat the game responsibly. 

“Analysis and research” strategy

One of the main principles of successful betting is detailed analysis. Professional players always gather as much information as possible about the event they are going to bet on, such as study of team or player statistics, analysis of current form, injuries, history of meetings and other factors that may affect the outcome of the match. It is also important to follow the news and take into account factors such as weather conditions, team morale or even personal problems of key players as the more you know, the more accurate the forecast will be.

“Flat” strategy

“Flat” is one of the most popular and conservative betting strategies, which is often recommended to beginners. It consists in always betting the same amount of money on each event, regardless of the odds or your own confidence in the outcome. This helps to avoid big losses and keep the bankroll stable long-term.

For example, you decided to allocate $1,000 to bets and determined that each bet would be 2% of that amount, that is, $20. Regardless of whether you are certain that the team will win or it is just a hunch, the amount of the bet will remain the same.

“Dogon” strategy

The Dogon, or Martingale, strategy involves doubling the amount of the bet after each loss to cover previous losses and profit from wins, which can be effective, but it also carries high risks, especially if the player experiences a series of bad luck.

It is important to note that using this strategy requires a significant bankroll and a maximum bet limit set by the bookmaker. Professionals who use Dogon usually carefully select events with minimal risks in order to reduce the probability of losing.

“Corridors” strategy

This strategy consists of betting on two opposite outcomes of the same event but with different handicaps or totals, thus creating a “corridor” of possible outcomes. For example, in a football match, you can bet on the total over 2.5 and the total under 3.5. If the match ends with a score of 2:1, both bets will be played and you will receive a profit.

The strategy requires accurate calculations, but can be effective for those who want to minimize risks while increasing chances of win.

“Live betting” strategy

Live bets are bets made during an event in real time. Professionals often use this strategy to take advantage of changing odds as the game progresses, for example, if the favourite team concedes a goal early in the match, the odds for them to win can increase and this can be a good time to place a bet. However, successful live betting requires experience, quick reaction and the ability to analyse events right during the game.

Each of the above strategies has its advantages and disadvantages, but none of them guarantees a 100% win. Success in sports betting depends on a combination of knowledge, discipline and right strategy. The most important thing is not to forget about a responsible attitude to the game, set limits and play smart. Betting should be fun, not a means to a financial goal.
