"Safe" shouldn't really mean "guaranteed", that is what people understand from word safe and I find it wrong.

I think safe bets should mean bets that you do not really worry about like betting on a shady website for higher odds than usual, that is not safe for example.

However if I use the same sportsbook for years and there is a game between a great team versus a bad team with carded or injured players, that should be safe enough. Nothing could ever be guaranteed, it is sports after all and I would say if you find something that is "guaranteed" you were told about it, but you could find safe as in thing that doesn't really worry you at all.

As long as you are not stressed about a bet, you should be safe, and yes 1.4 odds for a team to win is as safe as it gets if you are in a trusted sportsbook, that is all you can get at maximum.

there is nothing safe in sportsbetting, you can try and bet on odds @1.2 or less, you can win a lot of them, but it won't work for the long term
i've been gambling for 5 years on sports and i can assure you that there is no guaranteed bets, you can lose at any time
at the end of the day, it also has to do with luck, that's what gambling is based on, through out my 5 years journey, i even started
to have doubts that sports are rigged, and i believe some of them are for sure rigged.
And this is yet one more reason why I do not like the term safe bet, safe bets as they are called are nothing more but a form of arbitrage in which you bet on all the possible outcomes of a match and due to the different odds offered at the casinos you come up ahead regardless of the results of the match, this is why some call them safe bets as in theory there is now way to lose the bet, but this is not true which is why it should be called by its true name which is arbitrage.

Many articles have already been written about it, of course. It is also important that you get enough value for a bet.
Sometimes you see that the odds are too low for what it should be, then you are hurting yourself before the match has even started.
I think that ultimately no strategy is safe, the only thing that is safe for you to choose the right strategy for your bankroll management.

ya.ya.yo!
in the world of gambling there will be no strategy that can be used for the long term, usually when you try something and you can get a profit then it is just the result of luck because in the next game trying to do the same thing may not necessarily give the same result, so be careful. the heart makes decisions in gambling because the stakes are very valuable money when conditions like this.

If it is considered a strategy to be objective and focused on the statistics, standings, playing capacity, etc, then it is one thing that you could actually use for the long term. That's for sports betting of course. That cannot be used for random or luck-based games.

The heart should not be given a central role in gambling. It is either that or you will not gain a positive net in it.
That will be the advantage when you are in sports betting, you can maximize your knowledge and that winning mindset could be still unlikely we are in a pure luck based games. However, it is not a way to think about safe bets, nothing really it exist in gambling. That is the reason whya we have that 50/50 chances both winning and losing. If we consider gambling as a main source if income, we are absolutely wrong with that assumption.

No we are not speaking of gambling as a source of income. That is not possible. There are professional gamblers who can survive with their gambling wins but I don't believe they started from gambling funds alone and made it far only with gambling money. Even in skill based games, winning is never guaranteed and bets are still not safe either.

Safe bets does not excess in sports betting, every bet you'll make regardless of the odds are always risky. Man, I'm done with that experiment and I tell you it does not work on my end, what strategy I'm using now which is I am comfortable is betting on odds 1.90 and above.

I certainly agree with you. I've done the same kind of experiment as well and I could say that there's really no guarantee of winning. I worked once but I lost more than my winnings. I think it's another way to trick us. After all, gambling is still gambling and I could say that there's no such thing as safe betting.

If we will allow the odds to trick us, we would really be trick.
We gamble, learn from mistakes and experience then we will be matured with our decision making.

Sometimes we hear someone saying the bet can't lose, that's stupid, even 1.01 odds bet could lose, so it's that does not exist.

As I was saying, I'm comfortable with odds 1.90 and above because that gives a good return and I just have to make more than I lose to obtain profit in the end.

Safe bets yes, match fixing should be safe, but that is not something you wanna do.

And if you look for safe bets, it really depends on what you definition of the word safe is, basically no bet is safe that is why it is a bet Smiley

Bet with most chances are 1.01 but then you have to make a lot of bets to get a profit and hope you wont get hit.
it's all about luck, i used to bet on odds at 1.01 and lost when i used to bet on directbet if you remember it, they were making
tournaments to win prizes, the one with the most profit wins, but you have to make a minimum of 50 bets i guess, and i was betting on 1.01 odds
and guess what, i lost like 2 out of 10, no matter how low the odds are, you can lose, there is no safe bet.

I agree, the only real safe bet would be a fixed match, but that is illegal and brings in other forms of risk. What if people find out the match gets forfit? All the money could be seized by authorities from the bookmaker. In my opinion betting on fixed matches is too risky. Better to spread  out risk across multiple bets and get lucky.

If you are into gambling, don't expect that you will win every time you will bet. Always, on the conservative side and that means, you are ready to accept the results, whether you lose or you win. And yes, with house edge, their advantage is on the casino. And also, in terms of bets, there's really no safe bets in my opinion, only higher chance of winning if you know the sport by heart. But still you have no 100% assurance that you will win the game.

We need to know that gambling has two results, win and lose. If we know what to do and how we should treat gambling, we will not break our limits, and we only want to enjoy the games. We need to know how much money we should use so that we can avoid a big loss. That will be the safe bets that we can do related to gambling games because gambling will get our money.

Sports betting have an advantage against someone playing pure luck-based games like slots etc. In sports you know the team/players and their current form, overall dynamics of the game and opposition as well. So if you have done the research well than chances of winning is higher. Though there is always a surprise element could pop in the game and might not turn the way you want it, but overall you are better in sports provided you know on whom you are betting.

It's really a good way for the house to get more gamblers to parlays there bets, lucky one will get huge cash while those who are not will go back and try another time.

Just the same gambling always gambling win or lose you have to assess if you have a good chance or you need to quit.

Safe bets if exist everyone will go for it, But it's not at all, there's always chances
That everything will be wreck even youThink you are already sure with your pick.

Safe bets yes, match fixing should be safe, but that is not something you wanna do.
This is 100% safe but only 1% chance of finding this information.

And if you look for safe bets, it really depends on what you definition of the word safe is, basically no bet is safe that is why it is a bet Smiley

Bet with most chances are 1.01 but then you have to make a lot of bets to get a profit and hope you wont get hit.
Safe bets in reality does not exist in sports betting, you can claim or convince yourself that your bet is safe but it still does not guarantee a win.
We are the only one thinking it's safe, but if we open our eyes and be realistic, we will know the sad truth.

Many were get into gambling because they neglected to see the risk behind because they are much focusing on winning which is only at 50/50 chances. I don't get mad at those who think that way because it was their choice. Besides, too many times that they suffered losses but then, they still come back and lose again. It never changes their mind because of one reason, and that is to win the jackpot.

If those people only focused on winning, I am sure that they will be disappointed because winning in the gambling games will not easy. That can make them confuse and curious if they lose their money. We can not blame people who think like that because they are free to think that, and we can only let them get that experience, so they can realize that it is difficult to win the gambling games. If they can learn from that lesson, I am sure that they will realize that spending too much money on gambling will not worth the risk.
Winning mindset is not enough in gambling because there is no such thing safe in the gambling industry, yes you can easily double your funds if you are too lucky but you can also lose it in just once if you did a bad bet. Sports betting is not just about luck, there are skills needed to it in order to be profitable but there is no such 100% win rate there because we are dealing with probabilities and a lot of unexpected scenarios that may happen. The risks are too high in gambling but we can manage it especially when it comes to the right amount that should be bet or use in playing some gambling games. There are a lot of people who suffered huge losses in gambling not just because they are unlucky but because of their poor risk management.
Playing gambling is very unpredictable. Maybe today you may experience winning streaks but tomorrow you may experience lose streaks. It's not about how long you are playing, it's not about how big is your bet or how strategic you are, it's all about fate and luck because when you play there always fifty fifty chances of winning and you can never be sure of it.

Actually it’s not fifty-fifty , with considering the house edge they may have it the chance of losing increases with that of over winning it. That is where our losing will be more generally than winning and as well if you play longer, than chances of winning gets reduced over losing it. But for those who enjoys their game and have a fun in gambling then it would not be much worry as they will stop after a certain time as against addicted gambler.


If you are into gambling, don't expect that you will win every time you will bet. Always, on the conservative side and that means, you are ready to accept the results, whether you lose or you win.

The Bledisloe Cup was a safe bet for the Kiwi's to win retain...

Another pseudo "safe" bet will be the upcoming State of Origin Rugby League series with the Brisbane Broncos attaining the wooden spoon this year (and the rest of the Queensland Cup Sides excluded from selection) it makes for a very one sided three match series.

Even to bet with those odds, you can't be sure that they will win. In sports betting it's not actually the bettors luck but it's those players that you are betting in a certain game.
Like in basketball, there are lucky moves that were unexpected to get in to the basket and which made the opposing team to win and made the crowd favorite team to lose.
Favorites or underdog, we only choose which team and they have a corresponding betting odds.

We should not be confuse and we should learn more, not because the team is favored they will win all the time but even though they win most of the time but you are only getting 1.20 per bet, you need to win 5 games in order to break even for one lose, which I don't think it's wise to do, it looks easy but @Rabi3  is correct, the problem is in the long term.
