"Is there really a way to achieve 100% profit in sports betting? The answer is yes. So today, I'm bringing you this betting method, hedging, to help you understand the way to make money in football betting.
Understanding Hedging:
In finance, hedging refers to the intentional reduction of risk in another investment. It is a method of reducing industry risk while still making a profit in investment. Hedging usually involves two trades that are market-related, opposite in direction, equal in quantity, and offset each other's gains and losses.
How Hedging Entered the World of Sports Betting:
Before bookmakers had unified data and shared information with each other, there were significant differences in the odds and viewpoints offered by different bookmakers. In a foreign bank, a white-collar worker noticed clues from the odds of two bookmakers and used hedging to profit from it. After discovering the feasibility and tasting the sweetness, he resigned and formed a team to understand the odds of various bookmakers and identify hedging opportunities. This is the little origin of how hedging entered the world of sports betting.
What happened in the end? Of course, the white-collar worker made a lot of money. When the bookmakers realized that their accounts were winning and losing large amounts of money and checked their records, they realized that they had actually been bled by someone else. The losses from these deductions were enormous. Soon, the bookmakers learned about the existence of this hedging team, and they all closed their odds and conducted a rectification. This unexpected event promoted the sharing of information among bookmakers and contributed to their development. This white-collar worker has certainly given bookmakers a lesson and is truly outstanding.
Can You Still Find Hedging Opportunities Now?
Although bookmakers have adjusted and shared information, the gap in odds between different bookmakers is no longer as significant as before. Hedging opportunities in Asian handicap markets are now rare. However, bookmakers have not been able to completely eliminate the loophole of hedging in European odds. Let me explain the hedging method in European odds.
Hedging Principle:
Let's assume there are two bookmakers (A and B), and they offer the following odds for a match between Team A and Team B.
Summary:
In cases like the one above, combining purchases allows us to profit regardless of the outcome of the match. Although the profit is minimal, you can earn a one-point profit on your capital in just 90 minutes, which is faster than putting money in the bank. However, some may have reservations. Some bettors in the group have said that the main purpose of playing this type of gambling is to win big with a small bet. Using 100 units to earn 1 unit may not be acceptable. In response to this, I want to say that when you used 100 units to bet on 80 units or more, that was gambling, which carries the risk of losing your capital at any time. But now, using 100 units to earn 1 unit is earning. Regardless of the match result, you will earn that unit and still be able to keep your capital without risk. With that said, I believe everyone can weigh whether they want to make money or gamble for money." |
