1. Bet early for higher returns. Analyzing the odds offered by bookmakers, in general, the earliest opening odds most accurately reflect the strength of the teams and predict the outcome of the game. However, as time passes, bookmakers manage the betting limits and adjust the odds to distribute the betting funds reasonably, alleviating the pressure on odds. Therefore, it's easier for odds to drop as the game's start time approaches. So, if investors believe that certain games are relatively stable, it is recommended to place bets early to increase profits.
2. Avoid impulsive betting and don't bet blindly. Nowadays, many bettors lack self-discipline and can spend the whole day betting on various matches, from early morning to the next day. The results can lead to sleepless nights, mental exhaustion, and significant financial losses. Impulsive betting can have severe consequences, and it's crucial to exercise self-control. Typically, analyzing 2 to 3 football matches per day is sufficient. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you must restrain yourself. Don't let emotions drive your betting decisions.
3. Don't be greedy and avoid betting on too many accumulator bets. From the perspective of winning probability, the odds of a single match (1X2) are only 33%. Even when betting on "Any 2" (double chance), the highest winning probability is around 15%. Betting on "Any 3" or "Any 4" accumulators has even lower odds. Some bettors choose to place bets like 6-fold accumulators, 7-fold accumulators, or even 8-fold accumulators, hoping for big wins. However, this approach is high-risk and unlikely to be profitable in the long run. It's crucial to avoid excessive accumulation betting and stick to more realistic options, like "Any 2" (double chance).
4. Be cautious with single bets and use double selections (double chance) more often. If you don't have over 80% (or even 90%) confidence in a single bet, it's best to avoid it. Using double selections can lead to unexpected gains. For example, when placing a double chance bet with a "Win" in one match and a "Draw" or "Loss" in another, if the "Draw" is realized, the profits can be significant.
5. Aim for consistent profits, even small gains matter. For instance, if you have two matches with a high confidence level for a single bet, even if the odds are only 1.2, the combined profit is 44%. Similarly, for double chance bets (e.g., 232 combination) with two stable selections, even if both matches have odds of 2.1, the profit can exceed 10%. If one match has odds of 2 and the other 2.5, the profit increases to 25%. Keep in mind that consistent, small gains can add up over time.
6. Avoid following the crowd; take a contrarian approach. Many bettors tend to analyze game outcomes based on team rankings and strength, while others prefer to analyze Asian handicaps for betting decisions. It's essential not to limit your analysis to a single approach. Consider public sentiment, bookmakers' perspectives, recent team injuries, and the teams' motivation. Betting on strong teams against weaker ones can sometimes result in surprising upsets. Overcoming herd mentality and going against the crowd can lead to successful bets.
