Betting tips are nothing but probabilities or predictions, and can be found widely in
the internet. The basic steps to be followed for betting on soccer:
·
Firstly,
deciding your maximum budget for betting is very important. This budget should
not be very high for people betting for the first time.
·
Divide
the maximum budget between multiple games.
·
There
are some betting categories, choose which category is suitable for you. In
football, two basic categories are full time result and total under/over 2.5
goals. Three possible game outcomes under full time result are home win, draw
or away win. Total under/over 2.5 goals means selecting if the total number of
goals scored is above 2.5 or under 2.5.
·
Now,
the sum of the probabilities of these match outcomes must sum up to 100%. For
example, probabilities for full time result can be assigned as, home win – 60%,
draw 25% and away win 15%. The sum is 100%. 0% implies no chance and 100%
implies sure bet. This is where the betting tips come into play.
·
Now, bookmakers define fixed odds for each of match
outcomes. For full time result, the odds can be, home win : 1.5 , draw : 4 and
away win : 7. This implies that if 100 bucks is placed on home win, you will
get back 1.5 * 100 = 150, or lose 100 bucks.
·
Calculate the inverse of the odds, and multiply by
100, this will give the probabilities for each match outcome. The sum will be
110% though; the 10% addition is the bookmaker commission.
·
The bookmaker with the highest odd for the chosen
outcome should be selected. Standard way to compare is to multiply the odds and
the probabilities and choose the highest among them. But on the other hand, you
also have to give equal importance on the probability, the multiplication
result may be high due to high odds, but the probabilities may be low. So a
perfect balance between the odds and the probabilities should be chosen.
·
Stake has to be calculated as follows:
Stake = 1/100 * Budget * (Probability – (100%-Probability) /
(Odds-1)).
Stake should always be greater than 0. Or else the bet should
not be placed.
·
Final step is choosing the league. Compare the tips provided
with the actual match results, and choose the site where the difference between
the site’s and bookie’s prediction is biggest.
Follow these simple steps, and win money, and never forget to select the
website providing the best soccer betting tips.
