How to choose a bookmaker for betting For those who want to start betting on sports, you need to decide on a bookmaker.

There are bookmakers that offer various bonuses just for registering or for replenishing your account. But if you plan to play for the long haul, consider bonuses last.

First pay attention to:

• Reliability and legality of bookmaker.
• The value of the odds in comparison with odds from other bookmakers.
• Availability of a large selection of sports and a wide range of events.
• Variety of live bets.
• Convenience of placing bets on the bookmaker’s website and in the mobile application.
• Payment methods so you can deposit your funds or withdraw money without commission in the shortest possible time.

How to choose a match to bet on For a novice player, it is important to decide on the championship on which he will bet. There may be several such tournaments. But the more competitions you try to cover, the less time there will be for analysis.

Because of this, the likelihood of accurate predictions in betting on sporting events is reduced. The main task is to learn how to qualitatively analyze the balance of power in at least some matches. A superficial study of opponents at a distance leads to the loss of the bank.

Attitude towards gambling When placing bets at bookmakers, you must understand your goal and the risks. If you view betting as a way to earn money, be prepared for a full-time job of studying statistics, watching matches and following news.

Otherwise, treat betting as entertainment for which you will pay. After all, without systematic analytical work and good knowledge of sports, it is almost impossible to beat a bookmaker over a long distance.

There are three mistakes that can lead to huge problems:

1. Place a bets if you have loans or other obligations.
2. Borrow money for a bet.
3. Include possible betting income in your budget.

How to determine your bankroll size To bet on sports, determine your betting bank. You must understand how much you are willing to risk to bet with bookmakers.

Set a maximum bank drawdown for yourself so that you do not exceed this limit and do not lose more than you can afford.

Choose your bet size based on the size of the bank. Allocate no more than 5% of your bankroll per bet. By betting larger amounts, you increase the risk of losing your money completely.

Remember that you can only spend money on bets that is not critical to lose.

For those who want to earn money in the long run, this is the amount that you can allocate for investment. For lovers of emotions, this is money comparable to spending on your other entertainment.

You can Place a bets without money. There are virtual accounts for this. On them you check your profitability over a distance and only then decide whether to play for real money.

How to bet correctly for beginners We have covered everything you need to know about sports betting at the initial stage. Now let's move on to the most interesting part - tips for beginners who want to try their hand at it.

There can be no guaranteed profit in sports betting. Even when betting on opposite outcomes with odds above 2.00 there is a risk.

Let us list the principles that will reduce risks In sports, you cannot be 100% sure even of the victory of the clear favorite. The odds for a stronger team to win are usually around 1.10-1.40 or even lower. It is difficult to increase the bank with such odds.

Minimize the number of accumulators. Each accumulator consists of two or more events. With one failure, the entire bet is lost. If you still play this type of bet, add no more than three outcomes to the coupon with odds below 2.00.

Do not try to immediately win back after a series of unsuccessful bets. When your bank draws down, take a break and understand the reasons for these failures. Otherwise, you are betting on emotions and risk completely losing your bank.

Find the best sports betting strategies for you and stick to them. First, test the strategies on paper or on a virtual account. When playing for profit, you can transfer the tactics to betting for money.

Follow the chosen strategy and do not deviate from it in case of temporary setbacks. In the event that a player breaks his rules, chaos begins in his bets. This leads to bad results.

Avoid betting on the team you support. Personal preferences may work against you as you will be biased when predicting the outcome of a match.

Don't make hasty bets live. Live betting events should be selected and analyzed just as carefully as pre-match betting.
