There is no limit to the amount of money you may make in online Sports Betting. Just how successful you then become will depend fully on your own little efforts.

You might be one those individuals who loses many money regularly on sports betting. I’ve been there many times and from my experience it hurts so much to lose money. After many trials and errors, I stumbled upon the Key to successful betting. Am going to reveal to you this profitable online business as the best and cheapest investment ever online.

For all those just starting out. Sports betting is all about betting against bookmakers. It is quite different from betting against others the way almost all people do. Additionally it is distinctive from pools betting. Bookmakers are betting businesses that provide the platform for betting activities. They also provide the prices and expected winnings on each football match.

All you may need to do is to determine the outcome of a particular match or possibly a series of matches. You don’t need to predict the exact score line. Even though you will discover bets in which you can predict the exact score line. The cost per match will be decided by how hard or difficult it really is. The easier the match, the lesser the potential returns. The harder the match, the higher the potential returns.

Let use soccer (football) for illustration:

Assuming TEAM-A in addition to the league table wants to play TEAM-B who are at the bottom and out of form at home, we all know there is a extremely high likelihood that TEAM-A would win if in good form plus all the advantages to their side. The money you are expected to win if you bet TEAM-A will beat TEAM-B will be very small in fact.

Having said that, if you say TEAM-B will beat TEAM-A, then the expected monetary returns will be high. It’s going to be high also if you say it’s going to end in a draw.

Predicting that TEAM-B, the under-dog will beat TEAM-A, the odds could be 4/1. That implies that if you bet with $1 you will win $4 plus your initial $1 which makes your total earnings $5. I’ve used US dollars above being an example. Most bookies operate in Pound Sterling, dollars and Euro. So if you want to bet on it, what would you do? Start analyzing and seeing possibilities.TEAM-A to win at 2/7 simply means to win $2 you have to play with $7. You may need to ask yourself is it worth risking $7 to win $2? Or will you back the weaker TEAM-B to win at 4/1? You only need to put in $1 to win an extra $4. But will TEAM-B beat the stronger TEAM-A at home? The higher the risk the higher the potential returns, the lesser the risk the lesser the potential returns. That is where your football mind and knowledge is required.

Let’s Understand Prices/Odds more using real soccer online teams for example.

Take a look at this match in the fixture and price. Lets say Chelsea F.C. to beat Manchester City at home is priced at 2/5. That is you bet with $5 to win $2. That’s a total expected returns of $7.

(Remember that the figure at the end is what you stake with as well as the one in front is what you will win)

The match is 11/4 for a draw and 6/1 for an away win for Manchester City. It means 1/1. You play with $1; you win an additional $1. You play with $100 you win yet another $100.

Not all odds are written in fractions. As in not written like 3/1, 1/5, 4/9 and so forth. Some odds are written in decimals like 1.35, 2.42 etc. If you see 2.42, it simply means if you bet with one dollar, you will earn return of 2.42 dollars. What ever figure is shown, it implies that it’s what will be returned if you place $1. So you can calculate your expected earnings based on what you want to bet on.

Additionally there are the American Odds presented in form -110,+220,etc. The Decimal odds appear to be by far the simplest to calculate. The bookies (bookmakers) can know what sort of odds they are going to be using. Actually some bookmakers allow you to choose the odd type that suits you. What ever Odd you use the result is the Same. However, chose only Odd type you are at ease with.
