While basketball, American football, and baseball may be America's pastimes, traditional football is the most popular sport on the planet. There's no country in the world where they did not feel the presence of the sport. And in many, it's a way of life. With such intense levels of fandom, the fact that football betting is also prevalent isn't surprising to anyone. If you've placed a couple of bets, lost, and are now looking for help, you've come to the right place. Today, you'll learn what it takes to make football bets.
Now, if you're reading this, it's safe to say that you're a beginner at football betting. Whether you've been betting for a week or a few months, you may still need to learn the basics. Here's a quick rundown of football betting:
3-Way Money Line - You're betting whether the match will end in team A, team B, or a draw.
2-Way Handicap - Here, the player has to choose which team will win after adjusting for a pre-determined spread.
Total Goals - The players predict the total number of goals scored by both teams by the end of the regulation.
First Goalscorer - Players make a bet on which player will achieve the first goal in the game.
Of course, there are several betting types, like over/under bets, shutouts, and exotics, among many more. But for the most part, these four options are sufficient to get started.
That's the central question of our post: who can help you get better at betting? Sorry to say, but no one can help you but you. Bettors must be prepared to work hours and hours every week to improve. But don't worry. Things are bleak. There are specific shortcuts you can take to see success earlier. So here are a few football betting tips to speed up your journey to triumph.
The average person spends more time looking at their phone than watching programs on the TV or talking to friends and family members. Why not put that phone to good use and follow some tipsters? You have YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. These networks have people who professionally give tips on football matches. Follow a few and take a look at their past performance. If you feel they know what they're talking about, start taking notes on their suggestions.
An arbitrage bet is an opportunity that guarantees you make a profit on your chance. For this, you have to find sure bets or middles. Now, here's something that many bettors need to learn - arbitrage opportunities don't just exist between bookmakers but are within the same bookmaker. Look at the football bets. Look at the mids. Then, use the sure and middle bets to make a profit.
You can only use one sportsbook and expect to stay profitable for a short time. It wasn't the 1940s when sportsbooks had a monopoly over the industry. Today, there are hundreds of sportsbooks for you to choose from. Using different sportsbooks gives you access to several welcome and monthly bonuses to boost your bankroll. That allows you to look for matched bets or arbitrage opportunities we discussed earlier.
Yes, yes, and yes. We know how cliche and corny this may sound to readers. But it's still true. You should never think about losses too much, and you need to keep to your game plan. Winning streaks, as well as losing ones, will undoubtedly occur. A football betting strategy will minimize the volatility and ensure you're always ahead of the game.
We're concerned about problem gambling. For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem that continues even after the fun has gone.
Compulsive gambling is not easily detected. The person with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths to cover up the problem and will appear to look all right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.
Warning Signs. Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering from a gambling problem include:
Losing time from work or family due to gambling.
Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts.
Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
Neglecting the care of one's self or family in order to gamble.
Lying about the amount of time and money spent on gambling.
Gambling more money in an attempt to win back losses.
Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to gamble.
Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of gambling.
