Bloodsuckers Jackpot

Can you make money playing jackpot games and slots online?

In today’s article were going to look at whether it can be profitable to play jackpot games online.

Looking at strategies that you can use to flip the odds in your favour and still give yourself a chance of winning a big jackpot.

Huge Casino Win

How online slots and jackpot games work

Online slots and jackpot games are extremely popular, the thrill of landing a big win is only a spin away. However online slots are ultimately a way for casino’s to make a long term profit. Which means that the majority of slots players are going to lose long term.

Slots and jackpot games are programmed with a mathematical formula to ensure they don’t give out more money then they return. This formula is known as return to player (RTP for short.)

For example some of the highest online slots have an RTP of 97%. This means that for every $100 that the slot brings in on average it will pay back $97. This means that long term for every $100 it takes a profit of $3 over the long term.

Slots obviously distribute payouts unevenly. Which is why you get some big winners but the majority of players will be either small or big losing players long term.

Below is a list of some of the highest paying RTP games that you ply online.

  • Book of 99 (99% rtp)
  • Monopoly Big Event (99% rtp)
  • Jackpot 6000 (98.86% rtp)
  • Bloodsucker (98% rtp)
  • Rainbow Riches Pick N Mix (98% rtp)

Bloodsuckers Jackpot

Can It be profitable long term to play jackpot games and slots?

Yes, it can be profitable long term to play slots and jackpot games under the right conditions.

There are times when a casino may offer a sign up bonus, free spins, cashback offer or other types of bonus that can push the return to player (RTP) above 100%.

One of the more common bonus is cashback on losses, for example some casino’s may offer a day in the week were you get 10% cashback on losses.

If we take Bloodsuckers for example which is a game that has 98% RTP and decide to stake $100. We cab break it down to show how long term this would be profitable.

$100 x 0.98 which equals $98 meaning a loss of $2 is expected.

However we can get $10 back should we lose due to the cashback offer.

$98 + $10 = $108

Meaning that if we only played the slot Bloodsuckers when the cashback offer was available, long term we could expect to make a profit.

This is Advantage Play

Whenever you can flip the odds from the casino to yourself as player it is known as advantage play. Due to the fact that it is you that now has the mathematical advantage rather then the casino.

There have been professional advantage players in the past that have made a lot of money by doing this. One of the most famous group of advantage players were the MIT blackjack team.

This was a group of students that used card counting techniques to beat the game of blackjack. Their story inspired the film 21 which was based around the idea of advantage play.

Using advantage play is the best long term way to make money from playing online slots and jackpot games. Yes you may get lucky and hit a big winner. But why rely on luck when you can use advantage play to give yourself a mathematical edge that is proven to work.

How to Choose the Right Bonus at an Online Casino

Wagering Requirements

Maximising Your Winnings: How to Choose the Right Online Casino Bonus

One of the highlights of playing at online casinos is the bonuses they offer which are usually higher than what is offered at in-land casinos. These bonuses often add great value to your bets and the best casino offers can actually give you an advantage in the long term.

Some of the casino offers however come with many terms and conditions, which are hard to fulfil and mean that passing on that bonus is actually plus ev.

So every time you consider a casino bonus, it is very important to read the terms and conditions along with it. In this article, we have shared some expert tips to help you find the best bonus to maximise your winning at a casino.

Elements of The Casino Bonus One Should Keep In Mind

Every bonus comes with certain terms and conditions that mention certain bonus elements’ details. We have discussed the most important of them below and mentioned some expert views.

Wagering Requirements

Most bonuses at casinos come with wagering requirements. This means you need to meet this requirement before withdrawing the money from your casino account after a bonus is applied.

Wagering Requirements

 

For example, if you deposit £100 and the casino provides a 100% deposit bonus, that means an additional £100. So if the wagering requirement is 20x, you need to bet £2000 before you can withdraw your money. Bonuses with high wagering requirements result in players often spending an excessive amount of money, or they lose their bonus altogether. Players must consider the wagering requirements before obtaining such a bonus.

Besides the wagering percentage, some casino bonuses also require you to fulfil the wagering requirements by betting in certain games, e.g. slots. So a player should see whether he can play his preferred games while fulfilling the wagering requirements.

For example, If your wagering requirement requires you to play poker to fulfil the wagering requirements and become acquainted with the game, you may opt for a different bonus that suits your requirements.

Betting Requirements

Most casinos set a limit for the minimum and maximum bets you can place to avail of a bonus. These betting limits must be kept in mind while considering a bonus. For example, a casino bonus with a high minimum betting requirement increases the risk for your game and may not be suitable for beginners.

Besides, some bonuses may require you to deposit via a certain payment method, e.g. cryptocurrency, so be mindful of such conditions. If you fail to adhere to the betting limits, you can lose all your winnings. Certain bonuses are also levied on specific games, so you must check such requirements before proceeding.

Nature Of The Bonus

Not every bonus acts as a multiplier to enhance your winning amount; you may also get other perks. The common types of bonuses include deposit bonuses, free spin bonuses, VIP bonuses, No-deposit bonuses and many others. Each bonus has pros and cons, which one should consider while opting for.

William Hill Casino Offer

Deposit Match Bonuses 

This kind of bonus increases your initial bet by a certain percentage. Welcome bonuses offer up to 200% in many reputable casinos. For example, if you deposit £50, you get £100 as a bonus to help you bet on more games. Deposit match bonuses sometimes come with high wagering requirements, so one must be careful before selecting one. 

Free Spin Bonus

This is a bonus that one gets for slots. After a minimum deposit or as a part of a welcome bonus, one gets a certain number of free spins on different slot machines. This is usually a bonus with low wagering requirements. For such bonuses, read the terms and conditions and see if the participating slots have a good Return To Player (RTP). 

No-Deposit Bonus

Usually, such kinds of bonuses are offered as a welcome bonus. This type of bonus is usually to help kickstart your casino journey. Even though the monetary value of such a bonus may be less, you can use it to explore different features of the games without risking your own money into it. Keep an eye on the wagering requirements for this, as they may act as a trap in some places.

VIP bonuses

Many casinos offer VIP programs which offer additional perks to the members. Being a part of such programs allows for faster casino transactions and offers higher deposit bonuses, free spins on certain games and lower wagering requirements on bonuses. 

 

A large variety of casino bonuses are present in different online casinos. To choose the best one:

 

  1. Ensure you have considered all the above mentioned factors to avoid irresponsible gambling.
  2. Keep an eye on your bankroll as you bet at an online casino.
  3. Make sure you bet at a licensed casino so your money is safe.

Making A Million From Sports Betting January 2023

Daily Profit And Loss

December capped off month 70 in the “Making A Million Challenge.”

It was a frustrating month at times and after the first 20 days of 2023 I was in a -£2000 hole. In the long term results over a 20 day period don’t really mean much.

However I did feel an expectancy to start the year well. The betting gods clearly though don’t give a fuck about how you feel the year should start and hey why should they!

So I sucked it up and just kept doing what I normally do. Which normally produces a profit at the end of the month.

Let’s dig into results for January.

Making A Million

Value Betting And Trading

Read the markets pretty well this move in terms of getting value against the closing odds. Consistently getting closing line value which in turn should equal a profit. However it doesn’t guarantee it.

Closing line value is the odds a bettor gets relative to the closing odds. If they beat the market closing odds, they got positive CLV. If the market beat them, they got negative CLV. Beating the market means getting a better odds than the closing odds at sharp bookmakers.

Value Betting Jan Results

January ended up being a losing month.

After 319 bets a loss of -£1411 was made.

MMA Betting

I made one solitary bet on MMA in January, which was Gilbert Burns to win inside the distance.

The reason for the low number of MMA bets was a lack of UFC cards and the poor quality of the cards. Probably due to not being able to get downs bets until a day or two before events start (no soft bookmakers) and the time it can take to watch tape on lesser known fighters. I just didn’t have much inclination to delve deep into the last few cards.

This weekend however is a huge card with decent money already available on Betfair so this will pick up.

Burns inside

A profit of £220 was made betting on MMA.

FTS Ultimate

Slight change this month to FTS as I started using the poisson database to place bets.

This added one more system but also meant at times it conflicted with an under 2.5/3.5 goals system that I had been using.

I made the decision to drop the goal system and follow the poisson due to the results I have had. One system has been very profitable whilst the other has just consistently lost this season. This may be a bit short sighted but I feel less conflicted about selections and can reassess at the end of the season.

Let’s break down the results.

System 1 (Lay Draw), Stakes – £50 lay bet,  Results = £572

System 2 (Form based system) £50 to £100 lay bets, Results = -£208

System 3 (Poisson)  £120 back bets, Results = £806

System (Underdog System) £10 to £30 back bets, Results = -£100

Unders system (No longer using) – £22

Total – £1092

Bets And Beers Telegram Group

Rough month for Bets and Beers and had a few messages about it after I highlighted as a service that I use last month.

All I can say on the matter is that all services/methods/strategies have losing periods. If you are going to try and make money doing this its something you have to accept. If you choose to follow a service then make sure you understand that. 

historical results

Bets And Beers

Look at the historical results, its plain to see that there has been losing months but long term the service has been solid. Does that guarantee it will win in the future? no nothing is guaranteed.

However accept that you made the decision to follow the service, you decided the stakes. Nobody forced you into anything and ultimately take responsibility for own betting.

Bets And Beers

Missed quite a few bets this month for the horses and also for the in-play lay the draw when its a triggered at half time.

Decided to adapt my approach going forward and increase stakes but only play one strategy. The strategy I will follow is laying the half time draw, stakes will go up from £20 to £50 per bet.

My reasons for this are that although all strategies have shown to be profitable, I like laying at lower liabilities. Whilst the straight up LTD from kick off can be fairly high odds. Again this is just my personal preference if you follow the service do what suits you. I will also leave the in-play lay the draws alone just because I know that I can’t follow them all.

A loss of -£141 was made from this service.

In-play Betting And Trading

Decent but not spectacular month for in-play betting and trading. One of the better trades I had this month was laying Gillingham when they managed to go 3-1 up against Swindon.

Thankfully Charlie Austin came to the rescue and bagged a few goals to seal the comeback.

Gillingham Lay

 

Overall a profit of £944 was made from in-play betting and trading.

Thoughts Going Forward

Not the best start to the year but not terrible either. 

I know that the way I approach betting works and that it just requires some patience to see the results sometimes. In terms of new strategies or services that I am looking at. Been looking into some horse racing services again as I do like the day to day nature of horse but I also don’t want to spend all day in front of the computer (horse racing trading).

Exponential bet looks interesting, this an automated horse racing service. If anyone has any feedback I would welcome it. 

Another service I have been testing the waters with is Systematic betting. The main issue that most horse racing tipsters have is matching the quoted odds especially when using Betting exchanges but have had success with small stakes so far.

Thanks for reading hope you had a profitable Jan!

 

 

The Most Challenging Sports to Bet On

Trade horses pre race

 The Most Challenging Sports to Bet On

Sports betting is a great way to add excitement to your favorite sporting events. Making a long term profit from sports betting however is a different matter.

Knowing which sports are the most difficult to bet on can help you maximize your chances of success. Taking advantage of bonuses such as the FanDuel Sportsbook promo code or other bookmakers however is the easiest way to make a profit without needing to know much about the sports you are betting on.

Here is a guide which explains how to do this.

In this article, we will explore some of the most challenging sports for betting. We’ll look at factors such as the liquidity of the markets, how competitive the betting markets are. Rules and regulation changes, things you need to be aware of for live betting.

Armed with this information, you’ll have a better understanding of how best to approach these tricky sports when it comes time for you to place your bets.

Soccer

Soccer is one of the most challenging sports to bet on due to the sheer unpredictability of outcomes. With so many teams and leagues around the world, it can be difficult to keep track of each team’s individual form and performance. The biggest league in the world such as the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A attract some of the sharpest bettors in the world.

Tony Bloom and Matthew Benham are example of sports bettors that have made millions betting on the popular football league. They did so by using advanced mathematical models and hiring large teams to find value in the markets. This means that betting on these league is extremely competitive and you are up against some of the sharpest mind sin the sports betting world.

Looking at live betting, soccer odds are constantly changing throughout a game due to different factors. Such as weather conditions and injuries. This means that bettors need to stay alert and pay close attention to how a match is unfolding if they want to make successful wagers. A single red or yellow card can drastically change the outcome of a match.

Finally, it is important to note that soccer betting involves more than just predicting which team will win a particular match. There are also wagers that can be placed on total goals scored during a game. Also you bet on the correct scores at halftime or full-time, both teams to score. Team totals there so many different ways to approach soccer betting.

These lesser markets such as player shots on target, total corners, total free kicks etc are easier to beat over the long and should be looked if you have access to them.

Trade horses pre race

Horse Racing

Horse racing is one of the most challenging sports to bet on due to its numerous variables and unpredictable outcomes. The performance of a horse in a race is heavily influenced by factors such as the jockey, form, ground conditions, pace, and more.

As each horse has different strengths and weaknesses, it can be difficult to accurately assess which will perform best in any given race. This makes it hard for even experienced bettors to make successful wagers.

Betting odds can change suddenly and without warning depending on various factors such as weather or track conditions. Betting on horses requires an intimate knowledge of the sport in order to make informed wagers.  This means following trends, researching recent results, and making sure you’re up-to-date with all the latest news from the world of horse racing.

Additionally, different tracks may offer different levels of difficulty, which require different strategies in order to make successful wagers. 

Finally, there are other variables that should be considered when placing bets on horse racing. Statistical analysis and formulating strategies for minimizing your risk over time. It often takes years of experience before bettors can confidently place wagers on horse races due to their ever-changing nature and unpredictability. Betting successfully on horses requires a great deal of skill, knowledge, and dedication in order to maximize your chances of success.

Which makes it one of the most challenging sports to master and bet on. If you are a beginner sports bettor that doesn’t have much knowledge of horse it is a sport that is best avoided.

Basketball

Basketball games are highly dependent on individual player skill, making it difficult to predict outcomes accurately. Betting on Basketball also involves a wide variety of options that require bettors to have extensive knowledge of the sport. 

For example, wagers can be placed on which team will win a particular game. Along with which players will score the most points or have the highest rebounds during a given game.

Additionally, basketball betting lines often fluctuate up until tip-off depending on things like injuries and line ups. This uncertainty can make it hard for even experienced bettors to make accurate bets early on.

In order to succeed when betting on basketball, it is important for individuals to understand not just the game itself but also how certain matchups play out between different teams. For instance, some teams may excel at offense while others may be more focused on defense. This should influence any bets placed as it could drastically alter the outcome of a match.

It is also important for bettors to pay close attention to in-game trends. These trends can indicate how the match might progress and potentially help them make more accurate predictions.

These are some of the most challenging sports to bet on. Due to the numerous variables that need to be taken into consideration when placing wagers.

When you bet on sports, it’s best to pick a sport you are already familiar with and do your research before placing any wagers.  Our advice is to find one sport you enjoy watching and specialize in it!

Making A Million From Sports Betting (Dec Results And 2022 Year Review)

2022 Results

December marked month 69 in the “Making A Million Challenge” and we also saw the end of 2022.

Although the world seems to be in a constant state of chaos with inflation, war, climate change etc. After the lockdowns and previous years it did seem a bit more normal.

Still enjoying the betting and trading on a daily basis, overall it was a very positive year!

In today’s post I will quickly go through Decembers results, then take a look at the strategies/results used for 2022.

Making A Million

 

December Results

Alright let’s quickly go through the results for December.

December Results

 

December was an odd month. It started off very well and I continued to make good trading decisions in the world cup and value bets were winning. Then in the knockout stages things seemed to go pear shaped, everything just started losing and some bias crept into my in-play trading as the bigger named teams squared off.

By Christmas it looked like I would probably have a small losing or winning month depending on the next few days. However the return of “regular” football saw a big increase volume and the last few days of the month exploded in profit.

Which meant that December finished with a decent profit totaling £3632

2022 Review 

Let’s take a look at the year as a whole, breaking down which strategies/services performed well.

2022 Results

2022 was a record year in terms of profit with a total of £39,845 being made. Which was a great total and by March I had run through all pretty much all my bookmaker accounts and focused on using purely the exchanges and betting shops.

One perhaps concern was that the majority of the profit was made in the first 6 months with £27,475 being made at the end of June. The latter 6 months produced a profit of £12,370 which was more in line with previous years.

Obviously one factor was no more soft bookmaker accounts and of course there is always variance with betting/trading. Last year might be just end up being an outlier, guess I’ll find out.

Let’s dig into the results!

 

Horse Racing Betting

Horse Racing Results 2022

Disappointing year for the horse racing portfolio and by December I had knocked it on the head. Due to the fact that it didn’t seem to be warranting the time spent on it.

The year started fairly well and Beth Bet ( A horse racing value betting tool) continued to do very well and was bringing in the majority of the profit. Unfortunately early in the year (Sometime in Feb/March I think?) they discontinued the service without any reason.

It’s likely they were bought out by either a bookmaker or a syndicate. They seemed to be growing in their customer base and pretty much everyone I spoke to was having success with it.

After that I used some free tipsters from the Smart Betting Club, tried out Hansbury Racing and did some of my own betting. However results just went south for pretty much the entire second half of the year.

I’m not completely throwing horse racing betting away and might revamp things for 2023. However other strategies were proving to be much more profitable, meaning it was better to put more time into those.

Total made – £550

FTS Ultimate

FTS Ultimate is a service that gives you access to historical data and a few different models to use. It isn’t a service that provides selections, the service allows you to dig into the data to find your own edge.

I joined Ultimate for the 2022/2023 season, setting up four different systems that will be followed for the entire season. Exact details of the systems can’t be given out as it wouldn’t be fair to FTS however I can give brief labels to what they are.

System 1 (Lay Draw), Stakes – £50 lay bet,  Results = £2608

System 2 (Form based system) £50 to £100 lay bets, Results = -£335

System 3 (Backing under 2.5/under.3.5) £50 to £100 back bets, Results = -£1200

System (Underdog System) £10 to £30 back bets, Results = £162

Total – £1235

Bets And Beers Telegram Group

A service that I used for the last 2 months of the years was “Bets And Beers.”

Which I know sounds like the muggiest group ever or maybe even the start of a shitty rap song “Give me bets, beers, boobies and bitches, stacking cash backing players on pitches!”

I wonder what Vanilla Ice is up to, maybe we could team up…….

However the service itself though is very solid and has a few years of results backing it up. It’s a very simple laying service, where you lay the draw or lay horses.

Bets And Beers

I started the service on the 3/11/22 and by the end of the year a profit of £924 had been made.

This was staking £20 on the half time lay selections, then laying £50 in second half should that bet lose. For the horse racing selections I was risking £200 per bet.

If you are interested in the service you can find it here, along with long term results.

Bets And Beers Twitter

Value Betting And Trading

The next section is a couple of strategies that I record on one spreadsheet as it saves me a lot of time. However I will break down the strategies involved.

In 2022 this is what brought in the biggest amount of profit and where I found the largest edge.

Value Betting

That’s a pretty nice graph and although there are some £1-2k downswings. The amount of volume and lack of volatility makes it look like it was plain sailing. Although it never really felt like that on a week to week basis.

The strategies used were pre match trading, value betting and what I would say is advanced value betting or what I have heard be called “The top down approach.”

Pre Match Trading

Pre match trading is something that’s been covered a lot on this blog and I’ve also made videos about it. 

Your aim with pre match trading is to be in and out of the market before the start of the event, backing at a higher price then you lay or vice versa.

Pre Match example

Here is a video which explains what pre match trading is with examples.

Value Betting and Top Down Approach

Value betting again is something else that been written about a lot on this blog. The aim is to beat the closing odds at Pinnacle or on the betting exchanges. This has been shown long term to be very profitable with very big sample sizes of data showing this.

Here is our guide to value betting if you want to learn more.

Due to running out of soft bookmakers the opportunity to do standard value betting was pretty limited this year. After listening to many successful American bettors talk about using a “top down approach.”

Which is reading odds movement and basically predicting where the market is going to move. Basically making a prediction on what the value side is likely to be.

I started to try and figure out if this approach would work for myself.

Arsenal bet

For example tonight Arsenal are playing Newcastle and looking at the market a few days earlier, there were signs that Arsenal would get backed in. I placed a bet at 1.87 and its currently moved in to lay at 1.82. (An indication of value, lay odds being lower then back odds.)

With value betting although I tend be right more then more then I am wrong. I stake smaller and leave it as a value bet (leave it to go in-play) as opposed to pre match trading. For pre match trading I am usually more confident in my read so stakes used are higher.

Also there are some smaller markets where you can’t get too much money down, which makes pre match trading difficult.

Aberdeen

Hybrid Approach 

The third strategy is a hybrid of the first two. If my confidence level is fairly high I will stake a higher amount and then as the market moves in my favour reduce the liability. This is done by laying at a lower amount and leaving 20 – 30% of my stake as an enhanced value bet.

Hybrid approach

In the above example the lay bet is now at effective odds of 2.25. Crystal Palace are priced at 3.8 to lay. So by reading the market, laying then backing its enhanced what was already a value bet but lowered the stake.

The reason for this approach is that it lowers the volatility of straight value betting. Which means that you don’t have to deal with as much variance. 

How To Read A Market

How do you read a market?

That’s probably the biggest question and unfortunately if I gave out every detail it would either kill my edge or greatly reduce it. Which means I can’t give everything away however I can give some helpful advice.

First off you want some odds comparison software, value betting or arbitrage software. This enable you see odds movement in the market. (In real time)

Personally I use Oddsmonkey, Trademate and Oddsportal (comparison site).

This allows you to see what’s getting backed in with bookmakers, exchanges and sharp bookmakers. Then your basically looking for recurring patterns in the markets. There are some teams that I call “Market favs” you see them time and time again getting backed in.

Perhaps it’s 3 days out and you see money coming in on Sheff Utd for the 3rd week running. It’s fairly likely that the money is going to keep coming.

Next up you need to think about the market in different time frames

What happens 5/3/2 days before a game is due to start?

If there isn’t Pinnacle odds, which is the sharpest bookmaker?

When a team wins 5-0 what happens to the price in their next game immediately after the current games finished. 3 days before the game, morning of the game?

You will see overreactions in market where odds move too far, looking at time frames you might start to get a hint on when the market reverses.

It’s more advanced then straight up value betting, requires more work. However that’s likely why its more profitable. (Unless your a big multi accounter that can hammer through soft books without worry)

Overall from value betting and trading a total of £33,942 was made.

 

MMA Betting

Booked in my first losing year of mixed martial arts and boxing betting. The MMA markets have definitely become sharper over the last few years.

Whether it was just variance or I need to change my approach time will tell. 

95% of bets are on underdogs and a sample of 107 bets isn’t massive. However it did suck out a lot of the enjoyment that I get from watching MMA seeing bet after bet lose.

This is the nature of betting though and downswings can happen. We all know this we just don’t it to happen to us, 2023 should provide some answers on if things need to change or not.

MMA Betting 2

 

A total of -£1314 was lost betting MMA.

(Misc/everything else accounts for in-play betting on UFC, in-play football trading, casino offers and some free tipster bets. Whilst I account for these in my daily profit and loss sheet, I don’t track them on separate sheets as there isn’t a massive amount of volume. Overall it cuts down on the amount data input I do on a daily basis)

Overall Profit Since The Challenge Began

£168,308

Thoughts Going Forward

Very happy with the overall results for 2022.

In terms of goals it would be good to push towards £50,000 profit in a year. However I could have just run very well in 2022 and profits could drop off. Have to be realistic and keep that in mind.

The UK betting scene does seem a complete fucking mess at the moment, which is a slight worry but completely out of our control. What we can control is to keep learning, finding edges, putting in the time and hopefully the profit continues to come.

Thanks for reading, hope you had a good 2022 and wish you all the best for 2023!

When I first started trading on Betfair I heard the name Psychoff a few times.

Betfair Trading Strategies – Number 3

Paulo Rebelo – Contrarian Betting

Official Site

Contrarian betting is when you looks to wager against the crowd. It is a concept that has been around for a long time.

The general theory is that the majority of the public like to follow the crowd. In betting the behaviour is no different and this can lead to certain situations where opposing the crowd can be profitable.

Now Paulo Rebelo is a renowned football trader on Betfair using a variety of different trading methods. He didn’t invent contrarian betting however fairly recently he showed an excellent example of finding value from this method.

Paulo Rebelo Strategy

Winning a sum of 167,225 Euros by backing under 0.5 goals at half time in the Crystal Palace vs Man City game. This was at a time when Man City had been beating every side in front of them. Going without a goal less draw for 8 months before they met Crystal Palace.

Reading the English translation of Paulo Rebelo’s breakdown.

Which you can read here.

Its seems that Rebelo believed that at half time odds of 7.4 for the game to finish 0-0 offered lots of value.

Based on what he had seen in the first half. He knew that these odds would have to move quickly and felt that the confidence in Crystal Palace players would increase as time went on.

Video proof of Man City vs Crystal Palace Trade

This is an excellent example of when it is profitable to go against the crowd and take a contrarian betting stance.

Ryan Bruno – Pre Match Trading

Smartsportstrader.com

“Wait a minute, your putting yourself in with some of biggest Betfair Traders around?”

“What a f****** ego maniac”

Is what you might be thinking.

True I am not a top of the food chain sports trader.

However if you do read my Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading Challenge. Then you’ll know that I do actually make a profit from my trading.

Which in turn I suppose makes me a successful sports trader.

That’s right f*** you buddy.

Yeah anyway Betfair trading strategy number five.

My personal favourite pre-match trading.

Betfair Trading Strategies

The simplest way to pre match trade the football markets is by reacting to team news. It doesn’t require a huge amount of skill.

You need a good knowledge of the teams that are playing and some patience. 

Cup games are often an excellent opportunity for pre match trading. As the market is often unsure of the first eleven that is going to be on the field.

This is because some managers use cup games as an opportunity to rest key players or give youth players a shot.

Chelsea Example

In the above example Chelsea were due to play Newcastle at home in the FA cup. There were priced at 1.41 before the announcement of the first eleven.

A quick look at oddsportal historical data shows me that Chelsea were priced much lower then 1.41 when playing at home to teams of similar ability to Newcastle.

This tells me along with experience that should a strong Chelsea side be named then the odds on Chelsea would shorten.

Chelsea did name a strong side so I backed them as quickly as possible at 1.41 and layed them once they had reached 1.34.

This enabled me to secure a guaranteed profit of £52.31

Below is a more recent example of profitable pre match trade.

If you can learn pre match trading then it can be a great low risk strategy to use.

There you have it 5 Betfair Trading Strategies From Five Successful Sports Traders. 

If you are looking to make a profit from your sports trading then these methods may provide some value.

Next up we have reacting to team news and events quickly, which can enable you to make winning football bets.

Especially in this era of covid. Reacting quickly to team news can be very profitable. This is because changes in team news, change the odds of a game.

For example a Liverpool team without Salah, Mane and Van Dijk is going to be lees likely to win. In comparison to a Liverpool team that has all 3 in the starting line up.

6 Strategies To Make Winning Football Bets 2022

Above is an example of the change in odds for Arsenal. When a starting line up without key players was released. The odds drifted as the betting market realized Arsenal would be less likely to win.

If you can get information earlier then the rest of the market, this is a great way make winning football bets long term.

Betting Live At The Game

Moving on to the third strategy, which is maybe one you hadn’t considered.

Within today’s betting industry there is a massive focus on live betting. There are markets for cards, corners, player passes, player shots, throw ins etc.

A lot of these in-play markets are present even in lower league football. Where are there are not as many eyes on the game and bookmakers data feeds will not be as quick.

Make Winning Football Bets Bet365
Your focus could be on corner markets.

This can create an opportunity for someone that is live at the game!

Whereas the data provider will be waiting for the referee to give a yellow/red card before it can be sent to Bet365. If your watching the game live and its obviously going to be a card. You can look to process your bet ahead of them.

Potential penalties, dangerous free kicks, obvious fouls with should result in a card. There are multiple angles to look at from a live perspective to create an edge.

Matched Betting – Lowest Risk

On to the fourth strategy, this strategy is a little bit more well known but extremely effective.

You want to make winning football bets that avoid any type of variance?

Matched betting is the answer!

This involves using bookmaker promotions and free bets that make money over the long term.

For example Bet365 like to hand out £5 free bets every weekend on the Premier League.

6 Strategies To Make Winning Football Bets

By backing a Premier League selection with the £5 free bet and laying it on an exchange. There is the ability to guarantee a profit no matter the outcome.

In the below example £3.93 is guaranteed from a £5 bet.

£5 free bets are also on the lower scale. There are also £50, £25 and £10 free bets handed out by bookmakers like Bet365.

Making matched betting an excellent strategy for making money from the football betting markets.

Arbitrage Betting

Next on the list of winning football betting strategies is arbitrage betting!

Have you ever wondered how do I win a bet every time?

Is this even possible?

Arbitrage betting is a strategy that actually does allow you to win every bet you make.

This strategy allows you to cover all outcomes of an event to guarantee a small profit on your stake. Usually ranging from 1-5%. Which may not sound like a lot however used consistently these small profits quickly add up.

Image courtesy of Oddsmonkey Matched betting service

It differs from matched betting as there is no free bet being used. The profit comes from the difference in odds.

In the example above over 2.5 goals with William Hill is 1.89, whilst the under 2.5 goal market is 2.2 with Bet365. By backing both these outcomes a profit of £3.32 can be locked in no matter the outcomes, using £200 in total stakes.

Arbitrage betting is a great low risk if your looking to make winning football bets.

Value Betting

Last but certainly not least is value betting!

Value betting involves using the betting markets as an indicator to highlight value with bookmakers that are lagging behind.

Rebelbetting Graph

Image Courtesy Of Rebel Betting

This strategy is based on the theory that sharper bookmaker (which take money from winning bettors), Are better at adjusting their odds then soft bookmakers (which ban winning bettors.)

By following the odds movement at the sharp bookmaker and betting exchanges (Pinnacle, Betfair). Value can be identified with the soft bookmaker (Bet365, William Hill etc.)

There is a large amount of data which shows this strategy is a winning one over the long term.

How Easy Is It To Match Quoted Odds?

So one of the biggest factors for me when following a tipster is how easy is it to match the quoted odds available.

As there are many tipsters out there that are very profitable at the odds they quote. However matching those odds can be almost impossible at times.

This was not the case with Bookie Insiders Football Service.

I found odds were generally very easy to match or sometimes better. If you have access to betting exchanges better prices were often available.

Bookie Insiders Selections

Above is a screenshot of the type of bets that you will receive from Bookie Insiders.

You can see they are selections in big markets. There are no selections in the Russian second division or Belgium women’s league.

They are all in big leagues with a large amount of liquidity.

In general the odds hold up pretty well and you will get close to or above the quoted odds.

Bookie Insiders Football Service – Long Term Results?

Bookie Insiders have results going back to 2013 for their football service.

This is one of the reasons why this service is very well respected. It is possible to achieve one or two seasons of decent profits betting on football due to sheer luck.

Every time Neil Macdonald sends out a selection, you will then receive that information via telegram.

Monaco vs PSG

Neil will outline the bets odds available at the time the bet is sent. The minimum odds that you should take and his suggested stake size.

Along with this you will also get a breakdown from Neil. Analyzing the game and outlining why he believes that the bet is value.

PSG 2

In terms of following the service it is very easy.

A lot of betting services are now using Telegram. As it is often more efficient then email in terms of speed and getting notifications easily.

Personally I have Telegram downloaded on my phone and receive selections form multiple tipsters. I believe it is one of the best ways to send selections in 2021.

Bookie Insiders Football Service Cost

There are several subscriptions available with the Bookie Insiders football service.

Bookie Insiders Review Cost

Monthly – £39

Quarterly – £116 ( £39 a month)

Bookie Insiders Football Review – Conclusion

I have been extremely impressed with everything about Neil Macdonald’s football betting tips.

Over the six years I have been running this blog, I haven’t seen a better football service then this.

A 6.6% return on investment, betting in the major football markets is pretty unheard of.

The service runs very smoothly, odds are attainable. Breakdowns of bets are excellent and can really help you with your own betting analysis.

As you are being shown exactly what an expert football bettor looks at when assessing a game.
