Why you can not beat the bookmaker.

in #news8 years ago

Among all the variants of "easy" earnings, the game in bookmaker offices always stands apart: not every user is ready to invest something, everyone wants to receive from scratch. The fact that this happens only in fairy tales does not bother them.

But back to our bookmakers.
Every year in the whole world, billions of quite real money are earned at the rates - the feedback of lucky people is regularly seen on forums and in social networks. Imagine that the percentage of 2 of them is true - still comes out a lot. By the way, remember Mayweather, who at one time decided to brag about the 10-millionth bet on the Superbowl finals (American football). But he lost then ...
But few people say that bookmakers earn 10-20 times more. And it's not even that many risk - and without risk enough options to get a very good profit. Well, for players, this is already a loss.
So why not beat the bookmaker?
An elementary example: for example, two teams have roughly the same chances to win - 50:50. It is logical to assume that the bet on each victory should be 2. If a draw is allowed, then the coefficient will be 3.
But the coefficients for the outcomes are distributed somewhat differently: they are lined with a margin that allows the bookmaker to stay in the win in any case. And in the latter case (with a draw), the coefficients will be about 2.83-2.9, not more.
It is quite obvious that when playing favorites with outsiders the odds will be completely different. For example, for the victory of Barcelona in the match against Alaves were offered 1.06 - and for rivals 34. He played, by the way, the second option. But the point is not even that.
The fact is that all coefficients are determined painfully by smart analysts who calculate all the factors and risks, giving out the most "safe" bookmaker quotes.
Plus, in the event that a lot of bets are made on a certain outcome, the coefficient gradually decreases - the risks of the bookmaker, again, also decrease.
The only more or less correct option is not to chase super profits, and try occasionally to bet on those matches where the probability of winning is maximum - when playing a favorite at home, or against an opponent who simply does not need a victory (either already provided the desired result or the victory is nothing Will change).
And the second tip: do not recoup at once, it is better to suffer a little. Let others lose!
