There's always a risk in regards to sports betting, actually not just sports betting but all type of betting including casino.
Betting with small amount only lessen the chance of you losing a big amount I think this is what you are referring as safe bets right? Just think of this.Your winning amount and your losing amount if you lose one time then it would take you 3-4 executive bets before you can recover it what if you lose within that 3-4 next bets?

Actually he is talking about bets on low odds sometime feel like safe bets or higher chances of winning than the odds suggest. I was watching Lakers vs Heat game 3 and I felt like it should be a cakewalk for Lakers but how Heat won surprised me and the odds must be something like 1.15 or something on Lakers and they lost. these kind of bets must feel like safe bets but I mean there is always a chance of loosing like here Lakers lost so no bet in sports betting is safe at all.

There are times in e-sports betting when I feel the odds are actually wrong and there is a better chance of winning on higher odds like a team falling behind on T side on Nuke can easily comeback in CT side while odds provider might not consider it.

As we know that no betting is safe, it is better to save money because we can not lose all of the money for just betting. Betting in sports is fun, but if you lose your money, that will not be fun anymore because you can not place the bet again. The beginners must know about that, and they must learn from other people's mistakes to prevent the losses. When we don't have a chance to win, we might better stop gambling.

People know that and the thing that excites them more is taking on that risks and winning against those risks is something great to them. There are those that could bet as long as he can and still not get addicted to gambling, and I know, even if we are truly picking those higher odds thinking that it could be a safe bet, it is still a risk, people are still enjoying that.

Maybe that is right. People willing to take the risk will try to play on those games. They know the chance to win will not be bigger, but they can accept that. Instead, thinking about losing or winning can make them confused. They are trying to enjoy the games. As long as people can enjoy and have fun, it will be no problem for them if, somehow, they lose their money because that is part of the gambling which they can accept.

Yeah, I hope they are all enjoying their bets instead of hoping that it could give them huge profits that would make them rich or wealthy in the next few years if they continued doing that. Atleast if they are enjoying their bets, even if they are taking those high odds or low odds, the results won't give them that negative reactions or emotion.

those are typical gamblers and they know it happens all the time,they can win or lose so that is normal.
the problem is for those addicted gamblers in which tend to chase losses and the outcome is really bad.
But about sports betting?of course they are legit and trustworthy though there are issues of Fix matches that is very rare to happen and not that what gambling is all about.

Fix matches is sometimes the problem in sports betting for them to gain more audience and profit, that is why sports bettor commonly lose if the game that they bet on is a fix game. But winning and losing is indeed normal for every gambler, so you don't need to feel bad to yourself when you lose, and don't try push yourself to recover all of your losses because it would only lead you to addiction and greediness.

Nothing can be said "safe" in betting. When you enter the world of gambling or betting, we should already know the risks that can be obtained. This might be very difficult if we always win continuously or expect "safe betting".
This may affect our thinking and our readiness to be at Betting. If we lose then we may not be ready and will fall.

^ On my own, no betting is safe. Especially with the beginners. Betting is considered betting because of the high risk of losing your bet in the first place. No guarantee, no security. If you want to have a more secured type of ^betting (not really) but sort of, then go technical by doing trading (at least it is based on skills, not by the luck).

Ofcourse. We live in a World of uncertainty. Nothing is 100% safe without GOD... HE alone can make things safe or help us make things safe.
If betting sites are developed the right way, with the right rules and people follow the rules and bet right, risk will be lessened and safety increased.
Betting have good purposes. Abusing it is the problem

Abusing a gambling site is like only abusing yourself as they'll never lose unless you find a leaked of their program that you can take advantage of, but that was only stealing to team as in reality in fair game, you'll never win due to the fact that they have a house edge.

The question is, can you abuse a gambling site? It is not even possible. If you are on a very long winning streak, it does not mean you are already getting the better of the site. It does not actually happen. The truth is that you are just lucky. In the long run, the house edge will always prevail. So in a way there really is no safe bet.

This is only Possible from those newly created gambling sites in which the Bugs is still un noticed and they are being found out soon but there are already abused happen and if i am not mistaken Roobet and some sites here experienced this also.

But those existing campaign for long?the very moment that there is a leakages for sure there are notification that will comes out to make action regarding those issue and fxed.

Yep, no way to be secure in sports betting, the risk is always there whatever you do. For me, betting in sports is likely to rely on your luck rather than use skills. Luck based game in gambling is a high risk, the chance to win is very small. Not only beginners but even experienced people also have a big risk to join sports betting. I don't see a way to improve your chance to win in betting.

The 'safest bet' is to be a market maker on a betting exchange such as Betfair or Degens and effectively be the bookie.

You offer odds of -108 on a spread, and that means you will be receiving +108 on what is effectively a coin flip.

No knowledge of sports is needed as you just use the prevailing odds in Vegas etc.

Through my experience I've found out that small odds does not mean a safer event. Sometimes it is quite the opposite. You end up taking more risk for a measly reward. For example, on a $100 bet on a 1.15 odds event you would only get $15, but the real odd should have been around 1.50 (there are techniques out there to determine the fair odds). So you are actually betting on a high-risk event for a measly reward.

It depends into someone because there are people who wont consider on betting on 1.15 and just stick out on 1.5x onwards.It isnt really that worth to risk out for a
really very small amount of profit but since these odds been set out will surely most likely to win.Some say that it isnt worth but there are really people who do
dive into this kind of odds but i agree that it isnt really that worth from time to time.Winning 7 games of 1.15 odds would really be just sweep out with a single loss.
On my part im not really a fan into these numbers.I do set out 1.7 or higher and thats the time i do consider on betting on it.

Betting on small odds is sometimes really waste of effort and time. But there are gamblers who are sticking to lower odds if they believe that they have higher chance of winning. It really depends on the game they are playing. If they are confident that they can win betting on this very low odd and not only once but many times, maybe for them, it is worth their time. So this is actually depends on the player's preference in sports betting. Everyone has their own strategy to earn from this game. But yes, not all of them (betting on low odds) can be considered a safe bet.

We do all know that and you're right that there are still some gamblers whom do really love on sticking out on very low odds with much money that had been risk for such kind of low gains.
This is indeed profitable and you can hit up 2x on capital with several wins but you should know the fact that one loss will really wipe out everything will really be a useless run you had
since you gain nothing or the worst you are still on negative.We do have indeed our own ways because this might not work on others but for some it did really give out some profitability.
It all matters on how you do deal with the game and making smart bets according to your knowledge and capacity.You should not think about on the safe side because when we are
on this field then this safe where people everybody talking is really less.

Quote from: FIFA worldcup on September 13, 2020, 07:18:39 AM

Quote from: kryptqnick on September 13, 2020, 05:13:22 AM

Greetings! When I started betting on various events, I kept putting money on the options that were offering high payout but, naturally, weren't that likely to come true. I kept losing, so I decided to go for a radical change: betting only when the winner is pretty obvious and the payout is low but more or less secured. I won a few bets in a row like that, but my question is whether you'd consider it a good strategy for sports betting. I'm talking about bets for which the odds are 1.15 or something like that. Here're some bets I won like this:

Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?

This might be safe for short term but in the long run you will lose your money because there will be matches where the favorite team will lose and hence you will lose the money.
As as example, you keep betting 100$ on these safe bets and earn 5$-15$ per bet. Lets suppose you won consecutive 5 bets and won 25 dollars but lost the next match and lose your 100$.

this is a good rational for thinking gambling.
it has a lot of crossing with risk management thinking.

e.g:
you can only afford to loose 100% of a bet if it totals a max of 1-3% of your portifolio.

Actually what a safe bet means depends on your definition of the word "safe". Because if you mean by safe bet that it should always win, then there is never ever a chance of that unless you have some fixed matches and know the outcome already. If safe bet means it has better higher chances of winning than the odds suggest then surely you are going in the right direction as I have often seen odds provider being poor especially on events like UFC where I have often seen that they give grapplers a lower chances while in reality grapplers win more fights than boxers and now days they pay more respect to grapplers because of the submission threat.

So, make sure what you mean by a safe bet because the term betting itself means there is always a chance to win or loose even if you blind pick a bet or you have deep knowledge it can still win or lose.

You are right because it hasn't been stated nor clarified about on the word "safe" yet it can be classified into two things which one do talks about guaranteed win and one will be indicating about higher chance of winning even though its not completely safe due to risk of losing but it can be considered out.

Safe bets or 100% win does really exist on fixed matches where we know that these informations cant really be attained or known by average bettors but on general theres no such thing
about thinking to be on the safe side once you do really involved with gambling.

People do still think that they can make theirselves rich into this industry but once reality slapped up their faces then they would really have that different input.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

In betting, I do not the word 'safe bets' actually exist. This is because a safe bet's probability of winning should be nothing less than 1, which means it is certain to be a win. Any thing other than that makes it an unsafe bet so to say.
Betting on these pretty sure games with very low odds might be safe and profitable in the short term but devastating with just one loss incurred. With such low odds, even if you make a win five times in a row, just a loss the sixth time would make you lose even more than you've made in those five wins.
