Because I’m taking every secret they use to make money from people and I’m laying them open for you so you can turn them around and actually use the secrets on them.</p> <p>Now stay with me here…</p> <p>…Imagine a case where you go to check out odds. And then, right before your eyes, you find out that the team you expected to win a match has been given an odd bigger than the team you are almost very sure would lose.</p> <p><a href="http://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/img1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-552" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/surprise-look.jpg" alt="surprise look" width="170" height="150" /></a></p> <p>You are thrown off balance and you do a double take.</p> <p>Then you look at it like; wait – is that a mistake? Why would the stronger team be given a bigger odd?</p> <p>And then you wonder why these bookmakers would be willing to give a big odd to a team that would almost definitely win. You start wondering if your analysis was wrong and maybe these guys know something you don’t know about the club you thought would win.</p> <p> </p> <p>So the doubts begin to creep in.</p> <p> </p> <p>Here is the bombshell, amigo. Bookmakers do not know outcomes – It is a trick. Or better still, it’s a style of setting odds popular among odds compilers.</p> <p>Now stay really close to me right here.</p> <p>These bet websites are aware you know that that team is strong. They know that almost everybody would want to place a bet on the team that is most likely to win. Don’t forget that they take public opinion into account when setting this odds.</p> <p>So they put a big odd on that team most likely to win to grow doubts in your mind that the team has a secret “problem” and might not be as strong as you thought. And out of fear you double chance or ignore the match.</p> <p> </p> <p>It is a pure basic elementary reverse psychology trick.</p> <p> </p> <p>In fact these bookmakers have a fancy name for it. They call it “Favorite Long Shot Bias” – FLSB. It is designed to throw you off balance.</p> <p> </p> <p>They know that people associate big odds to teams most likely to lose. They know that you would likely go for the team that is most likely to win and they don’t want that because it will lose them money so what they do is to go all dirty on you – by playing the FLSB trick on you (those guys are smart devils).</p> <p> </p> <p>So you play the one with the small odd.</p> <p> </p> <p>And bingo; you lose money.</p> <p> </p> <p>The thing is that you fall into these tricks almost all the time. And 90 percent of the time you fall into the trick without knowing. Heck, my guess is that if you place a bet within the next 72 hours you are possibly going to fall for this trick again.</p> <p> </p> <p>What if I show you how to take advantage of the bookmaker’s own trick. Not just that, I would show you a particular secret test you can use to find out when any bookmaker in any part of the world is trying to play the Favourite Long shot bias trick on you.</p> <p> </p> <p>And here is the good part, odds with this particular trick are usually one of the main reason why your games cut because the odds you use to judge the accuracy of your selection is already biased most times.</p> <p>To then win, you have to discover how to detect real odds from false odds as you’d learn in my <a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65">Free professional Betting E-course Here</a> which will help increase your chances of sucking these bookmakers dry and it will start making you money as soon as you master the simple techniques.</p> <p><a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><strong>Go Here To Take Our Free Training Today.</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wikendbet.com/hidden-tricks-bookmakers-play-on-punters-that-you-can-use-to-make-money-for-yourself/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>25</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Clues To Successful Betting From The Mindset Of Professional Forex Traders</title> <link>https://wikendbet.com/clues-to-successful-betting-from-the-mindset-of-professional-forex-traders/</link> <comments>https://wikendbet.com/clues-to-successful-betting-from-the-mindset-of-professional-forex-traders/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rotimi Alabi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 15 Aug 2018 05:51:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bet Advice]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bet Resources]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Financials]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wikendbet.com/?p=1021</guid> <description><![CDATA[Forex (foreign exchange) trading simply involves buying currencies when their prices fall and selling them as soon as they rise in satisfactory value.

Whereas, a professional bettor could view it same way a forex dealer sees currencies. For this type of bettors, sports betting is a form of trading which involves buying bets only when their prices (odds) is bigger in value than they are supposed to be.</p> <p>This way he makes a safe profit from the difference in price between the real price of the bet and the displayed prices.</p> <p>This sort of betting could be lucrative and shares many similarities and differences that could give one an in-depth peep into what the world of professional betting looks like from the periscope of a forex trader.</p> <ol> <li>Forex trading is generally regarded as a real business, as it is a form of investment similar to stock trading (but in forex, you trade in currencies rather than stocks). While sports betting is not generally regarded as a serious business, as it is a form of gambling or entertainment in which you make money when you correctly predict what will happen.</li> </ol> <p>However, professional bettors understand that sporting events are unpredictable and they rather take the superior option of trading bets for a living just like the forex dealer trades in currencies and stock investor trades in stocks.</p> <p><a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1324" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG-20170401-WA0002-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="230" /></a></p> <p>2) As a forex trader, how much profit you would make lies largely on your skills, abilities and understanding of how everything works in foreign exchange market.</p> <p>Same for professional betting, you earn more when you learn more, and as you get ever confident of your skills to spot value and understand how sports betting work. It takes time to master all these, but you will make more profit as you learn more.</p> <p> </p> <p>3) In forex trading as the value of a currency strengthens, demand for it increases and vice versa. More demand, means more value.</p> <p>But for sports betting, this is not so. Once demand increases for a particular outcome as more bettors are placing bets on it, the bookmakers would have to reduce the odds to protect themselves thereby reducing the value as well.</p> <p> </p> <p>4) Both football betting and Forex trading had large potential rewards but also involves large potential risks. As a novice, don’t risk more than 1-2% of your margin account on any given trade.</p> <p>As a professional bettor, you must use a staking plan which limits how/what you spend on each bet. Over the long-run, this will give you a chance to make a profit while reducing the probability of taking a loss of capital – this is leverage.</p> <p> </p> <p>5) Both football betting and Forex trading like any new initiative has a learning curve. However, unlike learning a new skill such as learning to play the piano for instance, you are not risking your entire savings while discovering the difference between black keyboard notes and white keyboard notes.</p> <p>But most bettors skip the learning phase and head straight for the action and they sooner than later pay for their ignorance and lack of proper bet education with their hard-earned money.</p> <p> </p> <p>6) Just like learning about the currency markets/ betting markets solely on a trial and error basis is not a recommended approach for gaining the skills necessary to be a successful forex trader/bettor.</p> <p><a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1324" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG-20170401-WA0002-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="403" height="226" /></a></p> <p>Most online forex brokers offers a practice version of their trading platforms, similarly you can practice in football betting by paper betting – trying out what you’ve learnt without putting money. The process offers the very same experience as a real-life betting.</p> <p> </p> <p>7) Both forex and football betting are not get rich quick schemes – getting from a business doesn’t happen overnight and might take months or years to gain the experience and insight to turn forex/ sports betting into a full-time successful occupation.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>On a closing note…</strong></span></p> <p>Football betting will not make you rich overnight, yet it can provide an income stream along side your normal job. It can even turn into a business, depending on how much time you are willing to invest of course, it will require some efforts to get there, but this is exactly what wikendbet is here for – to help you navigate your way through the betting market as you learn how to bet in a smart way that will yield reasonable results. <a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Take a peep at what our Free Professional Mini Betting Course Offers</span></strong></a></p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wikendbet.com/clues-to-successful-betting-from-the-mindset-of-professional-forex-traders/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>WARNING: Don’t Pay For a Fixed Match Without Reading This!</title> <link>https://wikendbet.com/warning-dont-pay-for-a-fixed-match-without-reading-this/</link> <comments>https://wikendbet.com/warning-dont-pay-for-a-fixed-match-without-reading-this/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rotimi Alabi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:46:19 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bet Advice]]></category> <category><![CDATA[betting market]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fixed matches]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wikendbet.com/?p=460</guid> <description><![CDATA[ Some degree of ignorance will always be the root of an average bettor’s misery.

So i urge you to relax and take your time to carefully read this article.</span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Let me start by stating an awkward truth – yes, <i>Fixed Matches do Exist</i>. The templates of how matches are fixed we may not look at today, but what is common is -for a match to be fixed, a player(s), coach, referee or someone who has a direct role to play in that particular game is compromised. Mainly for a payoff, although sometimes other factors could trigger a fix.</span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Now what match fixing simply means is that a match is played to produce an already completely pre-determined result (a result concluded even before the game kicks off). Sometimes it may not be a full-scale fixing like that. It may involve fixing of small events within a match which can be gambled upon but which is unlikely to prove decisive in determining the final result of the game. This type of fixing is generally referred to as <i>Spot fixing</i>. It could be on minor things like time of yellow card, time of first throw-in and so on.</span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">You get the point right?</span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">But that’s not the issue at the moment. Here is what should bother you -“<b>Who fixes this matches and how does it affect you?”</b></span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Smart question bro! </span></p> <p><span style="margin: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Who do you think benefits more from a fixed match -bettors or Bookmakers?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> <span style="margin: 0px; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">If you say bettors, You are right.</span></span></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pbuilder_row" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;" data-rowtype="0" data-rowid="4"> <div class="pbuilder_row_background"></div> <div> <div class="pbuilder_column pbuilder_column-1-1" data-colnumber="0"> <div class="pbuilder_droppable"> <div class="pbuilder_module" data-shortcode="button" data-modid="4"> <style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">#frb_button_1212924628.frb_onScreen.frb_animated {-webkit-animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-duration: 1000ms;}#frb_button_1212924628.frb_onScreen.frb_hinge {-webkit-animation-duration: 2000ms; animation-duration: 2000ms;}</style> <div id="frb_button_1212924628" class="" style="padding-bottom: 24px !important;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong><a class="pbcss3buttonstyle5" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 20px; letter-spacing: -1px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; padding: 20px; color: #333399; display: block; text-decoration: none; margin-bottom: 7px;" href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><span class="text" style="font-size: 20px;">Sign Up For A Free 5-Day Professional Betting E-Course And Download Our Free Beginners Guide To Trading Bets For A Living</span></a></strong></span></div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pbuilder_row" data-rowtype="0" data-rowid="5"> <div> <div class="pbuilder_column pbuilder_column-1-1" data-colnumber="0"> <div class="pbuilder_droppable"> <div class="pbuilder_module" data-shortcode="text" data-modid="5"> <div id="frb_text_632010097" class="" style="padding-bottom: 24px !important; text-align: left;"> <div class="frb_text" style="color: #808080;"> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Just imagine yourself strolling into the bet shop with first hand knowledge of the <b>pre-determined exact outcome</b> that a match would play. This god-like feeling appeals to every gambler and the more influential ones will do whatever it takes to make this happen so that they can be guaranteed a profit when they bet on this manipulated games.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Good! We are making some progress here but we are still miles away from our destination..</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Now, here is the main difficulty.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Unlike individual sports like boxing/tennis, team sports like football are much difficult to fix.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">There are 22 players, 4 officials, 2 coaching staffs, substitutes – that’s too many people you have to get to fix a game correctly.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Tricky part? The more people you bribe, the more chances you have on the outcome you want and the more chances of you being exposed.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><b><i>Far more important than that –</i></b><i> The bookmaker has to be kept in the dark else things could go wrong. The match could run a risk of being cancelled, the primary fixer runs a potential risk of losing his precious investment, the fixer and others involved could be prosecuted for sports crimes if fished out.</i></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">This ushers us into something very crucial I think you must know. In fact, what you’d read below was the reason this article was written in the first place.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Match fixing is a serious business on it’s own. The fixer (individual or corporate body) is in for profits. and yes, there are fixed matches here and there mostly in lower divisions and games that are not televised.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">The fix goes in two ways – first, you have to successfully fix the game by compromising someone with direct influence on the game – maybe a coach or player (s) or team owner or official.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">Now, to get back the initial investment and return back reasonable profit, you have to lay down a large stake that runs into millions of pounds/dollars maybe around $2Million to $20Million depending on the cost of the fix. Problem is, bookmakers have a limit on stakes and cannot accept such insane amounts.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">Hence, the fixer is forced to take his big money somewhere else where it is accepted.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">So, second step is to phone up a contact (An agent fixer) in Asia (mostly, Singapore, china or Thailand) to fix the illegal Asian gambling market which is measured in tens of millions of dollars.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>But here is the interesting part</b>!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">As much as they’d love to and the massive profit that could come from it, genuine match fixers can’t sell to the general public, they barely advertise it. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Think about it, why should they? </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">If they must sell this games, it’s sold in the dark web (very closed circle) not accessible to just anybody. and surely not accessible for the meagre $100 or $250 fraudsters charge for it. Ask yourself this question -“why would anyone tell you about a supposed fixed match? if they know the game is fixed, why don’t they borrow a truckload of cash and stake heavily on it? why would they alert the world on social media?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">You need to appreciate that bookmakers are intelligent people who are really out for business. Do you know that by simply monitoring the pre-match betting markets it is possible to detect a planned match fixing? Do you know it is even possible to detect on-going manipulated matches by looking at the in-game betting markets?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Bookmakers have softwares in place that provides the systems for detecting a manipulated game once they find suspicious betting patterns.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">The average normal stakes placed is like N100, N200, N1000 and around that range but are hardly hundreds of thousands. Let’s say for an outcome as totally unpredictable as the correct score, bettors cannot place bets on such outcome with high stakes.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">So if bookmakers see one bet above the average wager, they’d just raise an eyebrow, if it becomes two an investigation is triggered. Any more than that and a couple more bets keeps coming in, they’d have to shut down that particular betting market.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">So you see, with the knowledge of this why would the primary fixer risk his investment – both time and large sums of money to go down the drain like that. obviously, the gains of selling to the general public is quite negligible considering the risk involved. Risk of investment loss and indictment.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>In fact, to cut the long story short.</b></span></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-1753 aligncenter" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/main-qimg-bcfc0218e64fb2bdcb0235a9b6af8c8c.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="121" srcset="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/main-qimg-bcfc0218e64fb2bdcb0235a9b6af8c8c.jpg 602w, https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/main-qimg-bcfc0218e64fb2bdcb0235a9b6af8c8c-300x117.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px" /></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Over 90% of websites and individuals that claim to offer fixed games are fake. No speculating here now, that’s a fact. It’s even more disturbing that in Nigeria alone, that statistics climbs to 99%. It’s no surprise actually since there are no agencies set in place to checkmate some of this things.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">These guys are just regular soccer pundits that do some serious research (If you are lucky enough to meet the few ones that analyze their games) and give to you. And that’s why you’d always hear them say “<i>If the game fails, you’d get another</i>.” That alone tells you what you’d be getting is not as ‘fixed’ as you were meant to believe.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">For God’s sake, match fixing simply means a match is played to a completely/partially pre-determined result. So how can a supposedly sure game in quote fail?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">What really happens here is that the adjective FIXED is used to pre-sell their service. <b>It’s an attention grabber</b>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">And guess what that word FIXED does for them. It provides the psychological framework that justifies the very high fee they charge for this games. They could charge 20k or more and you’ll pay.

They create a page, run a little ad advertising winnings or send out free games for awhile just to get your attention. If the games fail, it’s deleted from their page, if it plays and luckily they get something like 2-3 successive wins.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">Next they’d let the word out of a high odd guaranteed fixed match that just arrived and won’t be available for free.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">Next you inbox them and they encourage you to make just half-payment, then pay the balance after you win. Don’t fall for that.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Because if you do, here is exactly what would happen.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">They’d likely give out a Half-time/Full-time prediction. Reason because it’s carries a relatively high odd. Then, they’d divide their clients into groups. Giving each group different half time/full time outcome. To Client A – 1/x, Client B – X/2 and so on. So in all groups, one group will definitely produce the winner and will be eager to pay more money while they take others as loss or promise to give them another free bet. Once clients who lost makes unhealthy comment on their page, they ban/block them from commenting and delete their comments.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">And the won bet slip from the winning group would then be used for marketing and adverts against the next weekend repeating the circle all over.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;">This is serious and that’s how they operate.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> </div> <div class="pbuilder_row" data-rowtype="0" data-rowid="9"> <div class="pbuilder_row_background"></div> <div> <div class="pbuilder_column pbuilder_column-1-1" data-colnumber="0"> <div class="pbuilder_droppable"> <div class="pbuilder_module" data-shortcode="text" data-modid="9"> <style type="text/css" scoped="scoped"> #frb_text_1041830594, #frb_text_1041830594 *{}<br /> #frb_text_1041830594 a{color: #808080;}<br /> #frb_text_1041830594 a:hover{color: #808080;}<br /> </style> <style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">#frb_text_1041830594.frb_onScreen.frb_animated {-webkit-animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-duration: 1000ms;}#frb_text_1041830594.frb_onScreen.frb_hinge {-webkit-animation-duration: 2000ms; animation-duration: 2000ms;}</style> <div id="frb_text_1041830594" class="" style="padding-bottom: 0px !important; text-align: left;"> <div class="frb_text" style="color: #808080;"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Worse is the outright scammers that takes your money and gives you no single tip at all.

That’s if you win!</p> <p>If you have ever been in this position, then you need to take what am about to say seriously.</p> <p>Seat down, get comfortable and read very slowly….</p> <p>First thing you need to know is as a serious punter who really wants to make money from football betting, knowing when to increase your stake and by how much is one essential skill that would go a long way to help you avoid bet pitfalls.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Let me paint a brief scenario to make things a bit clearer to you</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>For example, you have a bank roll of a 100,000 Naira, staked with it and won 152000 Naira on a bet –meaning you made a profit of 52k. All seems well, you then played another game and made N149000 –another profit of 49k. Which implies you now have 52k + 49k = 101k as total profit and N201000 in total cash.</p> <p>You get excited and start doing some moneymatics in your head. You’d be like “if only I had placed 200k imagine what I would have made, chai I would have hammered this people oh”.</p> <p><strong>Then GBAM!!!</strong></p> <p>All of a sudden you start making serious plans of increasing your stake to N200000 in the next bet move.</p> <p>That’s my brief illustration and it smoothly ushers us to the talk of the day –<strong>should you increase your stake?</strong></p> <p>I’ve been in this position sometime myself and to be honest I made really really bad decisions that were costly. But am positive that after reading this, you won’t make those mistakes I made.</p> <p>The simple truth is that this thoughts of impulse stake increase is so tempting such that you fail to come to terms with reality that you are not yet ready for an increase in stake, and if you still go ahead with this plans, you are walking straight into a bet trap. Come to think of it, mere considering the idea in the first plan means you had no stake plan prior. Or Do you? if you do, is that part of the plan, doubling stakes with every major triumph? I possibly don’t know the size of your bank roll but am sure your stake plan will lead to your ruin pretty soon.</p> <p>Ride with me for a few more minutes, and I’ll tell you exactly why this is a possible bet trap!</p> <p> </p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-557" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/this-is-why-300x70.png" alt="this is why" width="300" height="70" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Every placed bets comes with two results –either you win or you lose. You know that right?</p> <p>Now, for the best case scenario, I really hope you win, so let’s say you win. A fat thumbs up!</p> <p>But the problem here is, when it balls down to football bets, no match event is 100% sure. Take my word for it. Even Prophet T.B Joshua’s football predictions could fail at times –so in point of fact, what am saying is regardless the source of your predictions, you should always remember that no football event is guaranteed.</p> <p>And if this be true,</p> <p>This leaves a smart punter with only one option –that option is taking the worse-case scenario. Since no football game is sure, start thinking in terms of what if this increased stake cuts?</p> <p> </p> <p>And I’ll tell you exactly what happens in the worse-case scenario when your increased stake of say 200k to win X naira cuts.</p> <p>You remember our brief illustration right? that’s exactly what I would use to explain further.</p> <p>Recall you started out with an initial capital of 100k that has yielded 101k in profit already. So you have a total cash of 201k. Which implies that only 1000 naira would be left in your bet bank when you stake this 200000 Naira.</p> <p>This is what happens when you lose</p> <p>If you lose, you didn’t just lose 200k, you also lost 99k out of your original 100000 Naira you had started out with earlier.</p> <p>So at the end of the day, you won two battles that made you a profit of 101k and total cash at hand of 201k but lost the war the moment you lost part of your capital or specific to this case, you lost nearly everything.</p> <p>This could happen to anybody. And like I told you earlier, it once happened to me. But ever since, I have developed a formula I use in knowing when it is proper to increase my stake and by how much. That formula I’d share with you here.</p> <div id="attachment_1319" style="width: 468px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1319" class="wp-image-1319" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG-20170331-WA0001-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="458" height="257" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1319" class="wp-caption-text"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Click This Image To Sign-up For A Free Betting E-course.</span></strong></p></div> <p>The simple formula to check out for when you want to increase your stake is:</p> <p>“<strong>If you lose your increased stake and your loss eats into your initial capital, you are not yet ready to increase your stake”</strong>. Period!</p> <p>For our particular example, If you must increase your stake to 200k, your initial 100k capital must have yielded a minimum 200k in winnings which leaves your 100k intact regardless of what happens to your placed bet of 200k.</p> <p>It all trickles down to the staking plan. For this case, we used a fixed stake plan. Yours could be varied, you can even try the kelly or half-kelly stake plans (if you understand how it works) or your plan could be a mix of two or more. The point is getting a good staking plan and sticking to it.</p> <p>You got that right?</p> <p>I’m sure you did.</p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wikendbet.com/how-increasing-your-stake-suddenly-without-a-plan-can-cost-you/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Football Betting Is Pure Business – Take This Approach And Make Money Or Go Home</title> <link>https://wikendbet.com/football-betting-is-pure-business-take-this-approach-and-make-money-or-go-home/</link> <comments>https://wikendbet.com/football-betting-is-pure-business-take-this-approach-and-make-money-or-go-home/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rotimi Alabi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 15 Apr 2018 05:39:45 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bet Advice]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bet Resources]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wikendbet.com/?p=1019</guid> <description><![CDATA[Without a doubt football betting generates the biggest gambling revenue in sports.

Most people see football betting as some kind of easy way to make quick money.</p> <p>Maybe, but not without a conscious profitable strategy.</p> <p>I know what you’re probably thinking, but NO, trying to guess the winner in a game will not make you money.</p> <p>If it did, you won’t be reading this now.</p> <p>Being successful requires much more.</p> <p>Most bettors are looking for a quick-fix, have a closed mind, are lazy and want ‘tips’ spoon fed to them but the main issue is that they have a very short-term mindset. All they care about is just one win, and that’s it. No long-term plans, they don’t set goals past getting just one winner because they depend so much on luck. who does that?</p> <p>If you want to be a winner, a deep knowledge of how the betting industry works, the correct evaluation of football games, understanding odds well-enough and probabilities is a must.</p> <p>If you want to start seeing some results in your betting, Look at odds as prices of bets, not just some random numbers. i Know this might sound like ‘super story to you’ and might be hard for an amateur bettor to accept, but it’s true. Odds do not represent the real probability of an outcome playing or not.</p> <p>This is probably the number one mistake you’re guilty of. You take a look at a game, and most of the time, you’ve already concluded in your mind where your money is going. You take your betting as some kind of guessing game where you just pick outcomes you believe is most likely to happen.</p> <p>The simple truth is, that’s not enough. Even if your predictions are accurate most of the time (big if!), you will still end up losing, if you don’t base your betting on probability.</p> <p>Probabilities are actually what the odds from a certain match represents.</p> <p>The price (odds) for each outcome can easily be converted into probabilities that tells how often that outcome needs to happen, in order to break even / profit.</p> <p>Here’s a simple example how to make the conversion. Let’s take a price of 2.00 and try to transform it into percentage. Just divide 100 by the odds. In this case the result is 50 which means you will have to win such a wager 50% of the time to break even. Of course, even more if you want to make a profit in the long-run.</p> <p>Making money then becomes possible when supposedly the real price of an event is 2.00 and the bookmaker offers you something higer like say 2.50. It’s now a profitable venture because the event will still record 50% winnings but since you bought the bet at a cheap price of 2.50, you’d require just 40% wining bets of this nature to break even. Then the extra 10% becomes your profit.</p> <p>The occasional small be on a long shot accumulator is great, but don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. Many poor gamblers waste thousands on those and lose large sums in the long-run. This kind of betting is often based on greed and stupidity and rarely clicks.</p> <p>To be successful you need the right information.</p> <p>Some bettors profit from risk-free strategies.</p> <ul> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Matched betting</span>: This is a risk-free technique for earning money from betting bonuses and free bets.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Arbitrage Betting</span>: You can arb sports betting companies, profiting from difference in their prices. This is totally risk free too.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Identify odds that imply the chance of an outcome happening as less likely than reality will make money long-term. It’s simple – if you calculate that the chance of an outcome is greater (i.e more likely to happen) then the odds suggest. E.g the odds could be 4.00 at a bookmaker, but you have calculate the real chance as 2.00, meaning that the payout on the win at the bookmaker is greater.it’s therefore a value bet.</li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></span></p> <p>As you can see, football betting is a serious business and requires some effort in order to succeed. Once you understand that it is a business, your focus should be on how to grow your money in the long-term and not a quick gamble here/there to make quick profit.</p> <p>Treat it as a gamble, and you’ll only get frustrated and depend on luck to make it, but treat like an investment just like every other viable business and you’ll realize that sports betting when done right, can be a huge capital growth.</p> <p>The information in this article will not make you an instant winner. But it provides the crucial basis required for you to become one. It will help you build a successful strategy that will bring you a nice-side income (or even become your main means of livelihood, who knows!).</p> <p><a href="https://aw14485b.aweb.page/p/b5a43564-6f38-4227-ad1d-eb629a53de65"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1314" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG-20170331-WA0003-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="524" height="294" /></a></p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wikendbet.com/football-betting-is-pure-business-take-this-approach-and-make-money-or-go-home/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why You Should Never Bet On Small Odds… and what you should do instead</title> <link>https://wikendbet.com/why-you-should-never-bet-on-small-odds-and-what-you-should-do-instead/</link> <comments>https://wikendbet.com/why-you-should-never-bet-on-small-odds-and-what-you-should-do-instead/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rotimi Alabi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:18:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bet Advice]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://wikendbet.com/?p=196</guid> <description><![CDATA[I know you feel safe with small odds, right?   When you walk into a bet shop and you see games with small odds and you somehow believe that since the odds for a particular team is small then it means that their chances of winning is high.   You could be right there.

Most times small odds are given to a team more likely to win.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>But wait a minute. That still doesn’t make it smart to bet on those odds.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>I will prove it to you shortly.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now, take a game between Real Madrid and Eibar for instance. Let’s assume that an odd of 1.10 is given to Real Madrid right. Heck, just by looking at the game you can tell who the winner is going to be since Madrid’s odds represents a 90.9% probability of them winning. So you go out and pull out, let’s say, 10,000 naira and bam – you place a bet on Real Madrid.</p> <p> </p> <p>Is this a safe move? Sure; it is. Real Madrid may likely win.</p> <p> </p> <p>But is it a smart move? No, definitely not.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-565" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/why-5.jpg" alt="why 5" width="291" height="173" /></p> <p>You will find the answer if we take a look at the profit you will make from that one game. Playing an odd of 1.10 with 10k will give you JUST 1,100 naira profit. That’s way too small compensation considering the level of risk taken.</p> <p>And with this kind of plan, you can never break even in the long run. For crying out loud, no one breaks-even on short odds like that.</p> <p> </p> <p>That’s the problem with playing small odds. You will need to stake a large sum and then at the end of the day you make chicken change compared to how much you’ve staked.</p> <p> </p> <p>But then, I know what you thinking. You are saying to yourself that you can counter this by accumulating as much games as possible, right?</p> <p> </p> <p>You can go out and accumulate loads of games with small odds. But then, accumulation comes with it’s own troubles.</p> <p>Things go wrong, buddy…how can you predict over ten games accurately in a row? You are not a damn prophet!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-566" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/solution-4.jpg" alt="solution 4" width="207" height="155" /></strong></p> <p> </p> <p>It’s simple – Take the superior option and bet on games with higher odds. For example, sports betting sites often provide an approximate odd of 3.00 for a draw. If you play it with just 500 naira you would make 1,500 naira and that is a profit of 1000 naira. And it took a whooping 10k to make a 1100 naira profit.</p> <p>What’s this dude talking about? Does he think finding a draw is that easy? I know that’s what you are thinking right now. The answers to bet problems have been staring at you right in your face but you don’t notice it. Try this little test, visit livescore.com on any day. Visit now if you like, then count the number of draws, home wins and away wins. You’d be shocked to see that draw outcomes are as likely as any other outcomes too.</p> <p> </p> <p>Are you getting the picture now? Of course you are, it is pretty obvious. You limit yourself mentally. An average punter thinks playing on a draw is risky business and takes a commando to venture into.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-567" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/true.png" alt="true" width="185" height="185" /></p> <p>I’ll so burst your bubbles bro. It’s untrue. You see, even some of the mathematical and statistical models used in odds compiling tend to undermine the chances of a drawish outcome and that’s why you see an average odds of about 3.30 for a draw. It’s simply an inherent limitation in odds modelling. Smart punters who compile their own odds themselves knows this and take advantage of it to make money for themselves.</p> <p>Make no Mistakes. I’m not saying you should go out there with your nets fishing for draws. Not really! But if you know a method you can effectively use, then why not.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-568" src="https://wikendbet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/point.png" alt="point" width="194" height="145" /></p> <p>The message I’m trying to pass is – you should start thinking creatively. You have been doing things one way and it isn’t working, wouldn’t it be prudent for you to try doing things differently? Think about that. Get a bet plan. If you must gamble, gamble right.</p> <p>Guess I’ve digressed a bit. Let’s get back to the matter.</p> <p>But then the problem with big odds is that most times they are not as mathematically safe as games with little odds. But what if I showed you how to filter out the safe ones from the loads of bet traps out there.</p> <p>What if I show you the exact effective technique I use myself to spot games with big odds that are more likely to make you mad money.</p> <p>Armed with this secret you can be able to make lots of money over-time from your betting.</p> <p>I have packaged all of this money making magnet strategy and I have poured them into a Free Professional Betting E-course, and you can lock down your slot for my course today by <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>clicking the image below</strong></span>.
