Have you had enough of losing your money to the bookies? Then check out these five tips on how to beat the bookmaker.

1. Claim Free Bets

There are many, many bookmakers out there competing for you business and most of them will offer you a free bet. This free bet will typically be for £20 to £100 (or your currencies equivalent) depending upon the bookie. By taking advantage of all these free wagers you really can put things in your favor when embarking in sports betting. Look at the free bet as a way of subsidizing your betting provided by the person you are betting against!

There are often conditions involved with the free wager but they are not as difficult to meet as what the casinos and poker sites have to offer. You rarely have wagering requirements (other than the first bet) and the free bet will be credited to your account once you have placed the initial qualifying bet. One of the main things to look out for is the minimum odds at which your bet must be placed at to receive the free bet. One bookie might insist that you place a bet at odds of 2.0 to qualify, while another might say the odds must be at least 1.0. Make sure you check the terms and conditions before attempting to qualify for a free wager.

2. Use Odds Comparison Software

Why would anyone not want to win as much as they can from a bet? You would think that everyone would, but the majority of people still do not compare betting odds before placing a wager. Again, with the sheer volume of bookies on the market, the difference of odds available can be huge. By choosing one without checking the market, you could be missing out on ALOT of money. The quick and easy way to compare odds is to use odds comparison software to check the best return in real time. It is such a quick and easy thing to do that it is a wonder that not everyone does it.

3. Bet on what you Know

If you are serious about sports betting then make sure you only bet on the sports you are knowledgeable on. If you know nothing about basketball, but loads about cricket, then just place bets on the cricket markets.

4. Use Odds Matching Software

There is a new piece of software out there called Odds Matcher that basically manipulates bookmakers so you can receive hundreds of pounds in free bets with no risk required. The way it works is by highlighting bets you can lay with an exchange and back with a bookie where there is no loss potential. For each bookmaker you do this with you will receive a free bet and again – there is no chance of you losing a penny.

5. Follow Betting Tips

There are a whole shed load of sites out there offering betting tips and it is important to distinguish the good from the bad. For example, you do not want to be following guidance provided by a ten year old on his old man’s computer. Check out the Racing Post, Sporting Life, and GG.com, all of which have some very seasoned betting professionals writing for them.

The world of sports betting is intriguing to many millions around the world who like to wager on the outcome of football matches, horse races, darts and other events.  If you have made it to this guide, the likelihood is that you are one of these people who are looking for a little guidance on how to become a better bettor.

We will look briefly at some of the key features of sports betting that will hopefully get you in winning ways.

Get Clued up

First and foremost, if you want to be successful at sports betting then it is essential that you read up on the sports you like to bet on.  Check the form of any team involved in the particular bet and investigate such things as player fitness, the team’s records against the opposition, and so on.  Any serious bettor will ensure they have all the angles covered before risking any of their hard earned money.

The Bookie v The Exchange

There are two different types of betting companies that facilitate the placing of orthodox sports bets.  Firstly you have the bookmaker – the traditional bet taker who allows you to gamble on a certain outcome happening.  For example they will set odds on a horse winning a match, a team winning a match, or a player winning Wimbledon. Bookies are considered by many to be a little bit out of touch with the modern sports bettor although they are good at what they do.

On the other hand you have the exchange that is the middleman between two parties who want to bet against each other.  This is the great feature of the exchange as it enables people to bet on something from NOT happening such as Manchester United not winning against Arsenal, etc.  If you bet on an exchange, in most cases you will come across better odds than what you will be offered by a bookmaker.  This is essentially because of the sheer quantity of relatively inexperienced people that agree (match) odds on these sites.

Odds

In betting, odds represent the return you will receive from a successful bet.  The odds a bookmaker offers should not be interpreted as a true representation of the likelihood that your horse will win.  They are simply an opinion and also take into account the bookies’ ‘over round’ which is provided for so they make a profit. 

When looking at a gambling website, you find odds shown in two different ways; using fractions or in the decimal format.  If they are shown as fractions, you will see two numbers separated by a slash i.e. 2/1.  In this example for every pound you bet on something, you stand to win two pounds.  If they were in decimal format they would be shown as 3:0.

Odds Comparison

There is little point in settling for the odds you find on offer from the first bookie you come across.  By checking the market you will find that are some massive discrepancies that can be taken advantage of to win you more money.  The quickest and simplest method for comparing odds is by using a website’s software that can be found by searching on Google.  Some of the most popular are Easyodds.com, Oddschecker.com, and Bestbetting.com.  They will search all of the bookies out there in real time and highlight the best one for your particular bet. 

Betting Types

Within each sporting event there will tend to be a number of different markets that are available for you to be on which will vary depending on the popularity of the sport/event in question.  Horse racing markets are generally quite limited due to the nature of the sport and you are normally constrained to betting on the winner of a race or the order in which the horses will finish.  With football betting and some other popular sports there can be a whole array of markets at the punters disposal.  For example, the larger soccer matches will have such bets available as first goal scorer, total number of corners, correct score line, whether there will be a red card, and so on.

An angle that I plan to write a lot about in “Betting Baseball 2010″, only occurs in the final 60 to 70 games of the season. For Saturday, there are (15) games on the board, but only 5 meet the criteria of the following angle. The angle is called: “Beating-up the Bad Teams”. And it was/is still is the baseball betting/primary reason, why the Yankees & Red Sox have such annual success!

Tomorrow, there are only 5 of 15 games that involve one team battling for a playoff spot, and the other is so far out of playoff contention, that they’re just “playing-out the string”. In my humble opinion (at this point in the season at least), with under 65 games left in the regular season, these particular games (to my way of thinking) appear to have a better value from a gambling perspective. Additionally, in baseball it can serve a great barometer to the “character” of a team’s overall persona.

Think of it like this….Let’s us assume that the Cards go onto win their division, but over their final 65 games, had a .500 or below win percentage vs. teams that were clearly going nowhere. What could you derive from keeping records of such a stat? Well in my world, that equates to a team that “plays down” to their level of competition. Or, it could suggest a lack of focus and/or discipline. Both calls, are completely discretionary. But, it becomes a wonderful piece of ammunition come playoff time!

So, we’ve decreased a 15-game card down to a mere five. That factor alone (in theory) should increase your chances of winning. Then comes the process of actually handicapping those remaining (5) games; deciding which one of those remaining five games deserves the most attention is a completely discretionary call, and the onus is placed squarely upon your shoulders.

But, here’s an extremely helpful tip….Seek-out the biggest pitching disparity (of the remaining games, and from a pure talent standpoint), and concentrate your energies towards handicapping that one specific game. For me, that game comes in the form of Colorado @ Cincinnati.

*Colorado is in a gargantuan battle for a possible wild card birth, and Cincy is obviously now a real treat to becoming a playoff contender.

*Colorado clearly has the better pitcher on the mound– Jimenez owns a 2.5 to 1 strikeout/walk ratio. He throws harder. And, gets much better run support than his counterpart.

*Finally, when analyzing/evaluating the pitching form (only using the traditional “L-3 starts), I look for two key variables: A. Does the pitcher/team that I’m about to wager on have at least two “Quality Starts”, over those last three starts. Answer: Yes. Actually, Jimenez has had four consecutive “QS” type starts, and his counterpart has only ONE! And since Homer Baily’s (scheduled pitcher for Cincy, for Saturday night) last QS also happens to be his most recent start, that would lead me to believe; that he’ll “bounce” and get trounced, tomorrow night!!!

STRONG RECO ON: COLO-149 Game starts @ 7:10EST DON’T GET SHUTOUT!!!!
