How to bet on the Winner?

 

For those lacking in sports betting, or even the most novice bettors, this world is limited to finding the team or player that will win a match. While it is true that there are many other types of online bets with which to win, it is clear that the Bets on the winner (1X2) are the most famous and also the most followed. That is why we are going to dedicate this article to them, since their apparent simplicity hides secrets that it is necessary to know to get the most out of each event.

 

If you want to discover all the secrets of 1X2 betting or feel the need to expand your knowledge, we recommend that you do not change the window and keep reading.

 

What are 1X2 bets?

 

1X2 bets, also called winner bets or moneyline bets, invite the bettor to match the winner of a sporting event. It does not matter if it is the final of the Champions League, the seventh game of the NBA Finals or the Grand Prix that decides the Formula 1 World Cup; all events have a winner, and it's up to you to guess what it will be and claim the winnings.

 

If you've ever played the pool in your life, 1X2 betting will be a piece of cake for you, as the goal is exactly the same: guess which team will be the winner.

 

Of course, this time it is convenient to review the odds to bet on those players or teams that allow you to get a good sum of profits, and for this you have to take into account some concepts.

 

How to bet on the winner?

 

Winner or 1X2 bets are usually posted days before the event starts, so you have plenty of time to prepare your picks.

 

The way in which you will find this type of bets in the sportbooks will vary depending on the sport modality, but if we are faithful to 1X2, we are going to focus on those sports in which a tie can occur, such as soccer or the Handball.

 

This would be an example of 1X2 betting for a UEFA Champions League match:

 

1X2 betting	Dues
Manchester City	-150
Tie	+190
Napoli	+300

 

The presence of Manchester City in the first place indicates that they would act as a local team, and except in the grand final, that means that they would have the home court factor in their favor, hence they are the favorite to win the game.

 

When it comes to interpreting the odds, the Cityzens would be the favorites as their odds figure is accompanied by a - (minus), and their win would report earnings of $ 16.67 on a bet of $ 10.

 

If you bet that same figure on the tie, the winnings would be $ 29, while the victory of the Azzurri team would serve to obtain payments of $ 40.

 

As you can see, the winnings obtained by the favorite team are always lower than those offered by the underdog or underdog, and it is your hand to choose a higher percentage of success as a preference and the risk of looking for a higher money figure through of an unexpected result.

 

Tips for resting bets

 

As always, the first tip to increase your chances of filling in successful tickets is to have at hand all the possible statistics about the players, teams and competition you are going to bet on.

 

The potential of the teams as home or away, the winning streaks (or matches without winning) and the state of form in which their main stars are are data to always take into account before formulating a bet.

 

Another fact that you should keep in mind is that you can bet on the winner of an event until practically its conclusion. As we have said, the odds are shown days before their start, but you can look for luck even when the event has started, although it is very likely that the odds are very different from those seen days ago, especially if there are variations in the score.

 

In the example we mentioned, an early goal from Manchester City would cause your quota to plummet, and if there were no responses from Napoli, you would hardly make a profit by waiting to refill your ticket once the game started.

 

Of course, that decrease in their quota would also be accompanied by a large increase in the quota for Italians, and in case you bet on their comeback and it ended up producing, the gains would be very large.

 

Alternative markets

 

The 1X2 bets may be too simple for your liking, so we are going to show you other markets that may appeal to you more.

 

If you want to increase the difficulty of the bets, as well as the winnings, you can focus on the Bets on the Winner at Half-time / End of the match, in which the premise is to guess which team will go with an advantage to the dressing room tunnel in rest and at the conclusion of the game.

 

You can also significantly increase your chances of winning a bet with the Double Chance market, in which you are given the option to bet on two of the three options, even if that means a decrease in possible winnings.

 

Finally, remember that you can bet live on a good number of markets that are activated with the start of each match or event, a type of bets that exponentially increase excitement and that can make you win a lot of money while you enjoy your favorite team.

 

Betting methods

 

Sports betting requires bettors to have knowledge of the disciplines in which they are going to seek their luck, as well as the support of the most recent records of the competitions in which they have set their sights.

 

In case you want to further increase your options to earn money, you should know that there are successful methods used daily by thousands of users such as the long-lived Martingale Method, in use since the 18th century and whose bases work perfectly with sports betting.

 

Other possibilities are those of the Surebet Method and the Valuebet Method, focused on sports betting and with which you can achieve large long-term profits, as long as you are in a position to invest time in studying the odds of different sportbooks.

 

Martingale Method

 

What Is the Martingale System? The Martingale system is a system of investing in which the dollar value of investments continually increases after losses, or the position size increases with the lowering portfolio size. The Martingale system was introduced by French mathematician Paul Pierre Levy in the 18th century. The strategy is based on the premise that only one good bet or trade is needed to turn your fortunes around.

 

This technique can be contrasted with the anti-martingale system, which involves halving a bet each time there is a trade loss and doubling it each time there is a gain.

 

Understanding the Martingale System

 

The Martingale system is a risk-seeking method of investing. The main idea behind the Martingale system is that statistically, you cannot lose all of the time, and thus you should increase the amount allocated in investments—even if they are declining in value—in anticipation of a future increase.

 

Martingale strategies rely on the theory of mean reversion. Without a plentiful supply of money to obtain positive results, you need to endure missed trades that can bankrupt an entire account. It's also important to note that the amount risked on the trade is far higher than the potential gain. Despite these drawbacks, there are ways to improve the martingale strategy that can boost your chances of succeeding.

 

The Martingale system is commonly compared to betting in a casino with the hopes of breaking even. When a gambler who uses this method experiences a loss, they immediately double the size of the next bet. By repeatedly doubling the bet when they lose, the gambler, in theory, will eventually even out with a win. This assumes the gambler has an unlimited supply of money to bet with, or at least enough money to make it to the winning payoff. Indeed, just a few successive losses under this system could lead to losing everything you came with.

 

Basic Example of the Martingale System

 

To understand the basics behind the strategy, let's look at a basic example. Suppose you have a coin and engage in a betting game of either heads or tails with a starting wager of $1. There is an equal probability that the coin will land on heads or tails, and each flip is independent. (The prior flip does not impact the outcome of the next flip.)

 

As long as you stick with the same call of either heads or tails, you would eventually, given an infinite amount of money, see the coin land on heads (or tails)—if that's your call—and thus recoup all of your losses, plus $1.

 

Surebet Method – safe bets strategy

 

Betting strategies are multifarious and depend on both: the kind of sport and the bettor’s attitude to risk. Beside so many other betting concepts a well-known and promising betting strategy is the sure bet. As the name gives it away this strategy is particularly promising. In the paragraphs below we describe why this strategy is so popular on the betting market.

 

What is a sure bet?

 

With this betting strategy the main focus is on the variable betting odds that vary from bookie to bookie. In this way you can benefit from the odds variation and place your bets safely and without a risk. To do so you have to react quickly because the odds may change every second.

 

The goal is that the revenue of every single outcome of your bets exceeds the over-all amount invested. The yield of sure bets is often very low but with a little bit of luck and patience you can surely enhance your betting account.

 

For placing sure bets it is essential to have accounts on various betting sites and act quickly (visit our sportsbook review section). Also the placed stake should be a little higher than usual to profit more from the (sometimes very) small odds variations. To find a sure bets calculator just follow this link.

 

Examples for a sure or safe bet

 

In this following paragraph we show you two examples of how to place a sure bet. This concept can be used for sports with two possible outcomes (e.g. tennis) as well as sports with three possible outcomes (e.g. football).

 

Example 1 – sure bet a Tennis Match

 

By placing a bet on a certain tennis match I know that there can only be two possible outcomes – either Player A wins or Player B wins, there is no draw. If the odds variation of two bookies are in our favor we might get a constellation like this:

 

Bookie 1: the odd for a Player A Win is 2.15

 

Bookie 2 the odd for a Player B Win is 1.95

 

This is how a sure bet with 100 Euro would look like:

 

With a stake of 47,56 Euro on a Player A Win and the odd of 2.15 you will get 102,25 Euros.

 

On the other hand, you bet 52,44 Euro on a Player B Win and with the quota of 1.95 your revenue will be 102,26.

 

Players	Quota	Stake	Revenue
Player A	2.15	47,56 €	102,25 €
Player B	1.95	52,44 €	102,26 €

 

So in either case you will profit from this bet.

 

Example 2 – sure bet on a 3-Way-Bet

 

As you can see in the previous example it is possible to place a bet without any risk in 2-way bets but this is also possible for sports with three different outcomes like in a football game. You can also profit from odds variation at different bookies. This is how it works:

 

Bookie 1: Odd for a Team A Win 14.00

 

Bookie 2: Odd for a Draw 8.00

 

Bookie 3: Odd for a Team B Win 1.30

 

Now we place our 100 Euros again:

 

We bet 7,40 Euros on a Team A Win and would get 103,6 Euros.

 

Further, bet on a Draw with the stake of 12,94 Euros and an odd of 8 and we would receive 103,52 Euros

 

And place 79,66 Euros on a Team B Win with a quota of 1.3, which would make 103,56 Euros.

 

Outcomes	Quotas	Stake	Revenue
Team A Win	14	7,40 €	103,60 €
Draw	8	12,94 €	103,52 €
Team B Win	1.3	79,66 €	103,56 €

 

So my earnings are, depending on the outcome of the game, between 3,52 and 3,60 Euros.
