Topic: Betting on 1.50 odd football (soccer) games, thrice a week until the year ends. (Read 896 times)

This is my only opinion but it sounded pretty logical and unbiased. Three times a week, betting with odd of 1.5 is the least, especially when games are running within the top league in Europe. It looks like a safer strategy that can keep risks minimal. Also, sharing the profits and further betting with new odds helps to preserve the bets you manage.

By spreading your bets across multiple games and maintaining a structured betting calendar. You will reduce the risk of major losses. and help avoid game addiction The focus should be on the weekend. When there is more activity and to maintain the frequency of betting at a moderate level.

Of course, learn to play responsibly and always stay within your possibilities. Acting on your results and adjusting your strategy based on performance can help optimize your approach. Balboa handles your bets. And I hope your strategy devours success.


That sounds like a good idea! Just keep a precise record of all the betting, including starting capital and chronological updates. It would definitely be easier to overview your progress and strategize more effectively that way. A plan is an excellent outline for that: helps everybody see profits and losses clearly, can predict independently .

It's important to keep your bets organized so you won't get stuck in casual conversation.

Thx for the feedback and totally agree with you - OP's had some great wins in recent times. Will be interesting to see how well the strategy goes. Good luck with the ongoing betting!

A very nice idea and suggestion to be honest, I was also thinking about this exact same thing when going through the thread and reading some comments.
So far, I've not really come across any of the ops bet which I know it's for the exact reason you mentioned, which is that the bet he posted must have gotten buried in the comments of multiple users who are interested in this topic and posting comments.

So for me, I think the best idea or suggestion is for the op to create a spreadsheet like that of signature campaigns, make it viewable by the public and share link to the sheet on the first post.
In the spreadsheet, he can have column for date, bet, actual odds of the bet, how much spent on the bet, and a column to enter "a loss" or "a win" depending on the final outcome of the game.

This way, following the progress of the bets, which is the main reason for this thread, will be very easy for everyone interested.

It would be great if the OP takes some time out to edit the first post and add in their bets, maybe in chronological manner along with the starting capital.

Or they could set up a spreadsheet and we can track the profit/loss ourselves in order to make our own projections. Otherwise the bets will get buried in the generic posts being made by many of the members. Keep them separate, is what I mean.

Good luck to the OP, I see they made some nice wins from their last few betslips. Keep it up!

What is the motive behind this ? You should have added this in your post as well.
Are you just trying out your strategy for fun or are you planning to keep trying different strategies until you start making money ?

Anyway, coming to your strategy, will you just look for odds that are 1.5x ?
What if you don't find any bets for the week which has 1.5x?

One suggestion I would like to give is keep updating the OP itself with the status of bets as it would be more convenient to track the bets.

It's an interesting thread, and it's nice to see that you are doing well for now. I hope that luck will not abandon you along the way... and that you will have many more wins than losses.

It would be nice if you could share some of your predictions before the events, some of us might follow you... you seem to have a good strategy and carefully analyze the matches you bet on.

Good luck!

Risky but I like it.

x1.50 seems large for gamblers who are trying to win a sure game. But, for me, x1.50 is a small odds and you are likely to win this match 60:40 maybe.
Now, making a parlay with a total odds of x1.50 will make a big difference. That means you will be selecting odds that range from x1.10 - x1.20 in maybe a three-game ticket.
I really though your only option is betting for singles but you will probably have a higher chance by taking 3 or 4 games with a total of the odds that was said.

Maybe the International games is more easier for you, i had some loses in the past due to international games and I learnt from them and if I had followed your statement and pick the strongest team to win, i would've picked Brazil to win Paraguay yesterday and wake to multiple loses today. Like I said earlier, I'm not really good with selection of games from international matches so I'll gladly wait till the weekend to continue the 1.50 plus odds rollover when players have returned to their various clubs.

Here's another person who didn't go through this thread but went straight to reply, if you did you'll see with prove that I've tested the strategy and had been successful twice asides the ones I played yesterday and got lucky in four different bet slips. Well it would've been nice to just pick one game that's 1.50 and bet on it but I do select four top teams from different leagues and give them a goal ahead of the weaker team they're playing against in the first half or sometimes full match for instance Arsenal playing against Norwich I'll bet on Arsenal to won with one goal ahead in the full match or 1st first and include 3 to 4 other games to make it 1.50 plus odds, it's worked twice check the thread. Well I would've considered better on higher odds but I'll stick to the 1.50 plus odds.

I never mentioned that the odds are magical, neither did I say that I'm never going to lose, infact I've made a statement sometimes ago that their's no 100% success in gamble and their's a possibility for me to lose but the goal is to avoid too much loses with such strategy, I'm doing it for fun and anyone interested could do same but at their own risk but so far I've been successful twice and even got lucky yesterday go through the thread and see for yourself.

Please try to maintain such mindset, don't even think of it bro, I don't do that and I won't even advise anyone to take gambling as their major source of income or a safe heaven to generate wealth, gambling should be meant for fun even though one could profit from it while having fun, and also try to avoid too much loses cause it could lead to addition why you chase your loses, do not forget to gamble with your spare money like I normally do.

Not a bad advice, but some people can afford to gamble more than once in a week, it depends on how much the person is willing to risk and yes it doesn't have to be about money but fun, I gamble more than once in a week and that's about how much I can afford to lose.

It is just an habit of having fun because the amount is way too small to cause any damage to me, 1.5 odds is not even that high, I call this number moderate and anyone can use it either someone managing or someone with a lot of money.

Whenever I want to advice someone that's starting out on gambling, I always tell them to expect things to always go south, because that's the case with gambling, and people expect me to take it serious as if its stock investment or crypto investment? If the chances of getting bad result is high in gambling such doesn't deserve using high amount of money.

Well 1.5 odds it's quite alright for a startup and thrice a week it's just too much for such risky gambling it's even on the higher chances of exposure to gambling addiction cause when you lose on your stake for like the two times you intend to gamble per week you'll want to stake higher and that's how addiction starts and wow hear it from your statement.

I think you are making this as source of income for whatsoever reason and you don't mind taking any risks it brings while doing so but just know this that you ought to be discipline in your dealings with money in the addicts of gambling.
Three times is a whole lot  to want to bets on such games but provided you win doesn't give you that courage to stake with higher amounts.

Your choice three times a week is understandable, it seems that this comes from the main tournaments that take place almost constantly. But why the choice of the odds 1.5? In my experience, it is difficult to adjust to a specific odds, each time it can be different, depending on the events that you choose, one time it can be 1.4 another time 1.9, but if you try to make exactly 1.5 every time, this can push you to choose dubious events, just to achieve the desired odds.

1.5 Odd is not too high odd, this is enough standard. but you will not able to bet without risk. gambling is risky that's why you have to do money management on gambling to safe from big losses. and your gambling budget should be maximum 5% from your monthly earnings. If you have a big gambling budget, you will be encouraged to bet large amounts and lose large amounts very quickly and become emotional.  Suppose you bet on 1.5 odds means if you win then you get 50% profit and if you lose then you lose 100% of your bet.  So money management is very important in betting

The thing about bet is that you can never be too sure and that's why even if you play a single bet if the game want to go wrong it still will even if the odd is small although I think some gamblers claim to have this particular pattern of playing small single odd and rolling over with that same odd type for multiple times to gather much profits but even at that it can still go wrong so what I do is pick more games and I really don't do odds because sometimes the bookmakers are tricky but I make sure of one thing which is the amount I use in playing the game which is a small amount so that I won't be affected if it goes wrong.

I don't quite understand what the author of the topic found so special about the odds of 1.5? Does he think that this odds are magical? Does this odds give any advantage in betting? If this odds gave an advantage in betting, then, of course, all players would bet on it and everyone would win. Then all players would become rich, and all bookmakers would go bankrupt, and this is impossible. Before betting on this odds, I would recommend the author to collect detailed statistics of those matches in which the bookmaker bet on the odds of 1.5.

Golden words!
Analysis can make the bet better, but it's still up to debate what will happen in reality.
That's why it's important to diversify the risks and do what you said.

I try not to take gambling activities too seriously and I don't depend on it as a source of income to avoid addiction. I believe that you should just focus on team performance on previous games and take your chances to bet on them, take the money if you win and move on if you lose. Gambling is by luck so we shouldn't have the mindset of constantly winning and using the money to gamble again because it might not happen like that. Whatever strategy that you choose to gamble it's important to use the amount that you can afford to loose.

You are totally right, betting like that and overall should be done only with the funds you are willing to spend on it from the get-go.
Otherwise, things may go south pretty quickly.

A bet cannot be used as a permanent place to earn money every day, a bet may not necessarily produce results according to the gambler's wishes, but will take a different direction than expected. Playing in 3 matches using one slip will make big profits and have a big chance of winning, the method you use has been used by many other people in placing bets on that position. As long as you play 1.5 with 3 matches, there is a change in placing bets 3 times a week. Don't forget that the money you bet can be lost at any time if it doesn't match the bet you hold, so you have to be prepared to lose.

Why don't you first test your "strategy" and post the results here. Why do you ask for opinions? I'm sure that your results will be completely random with this so called "method". How do you pick the exact games, where one team has a 1.5 odds of winning? There are multiple matches with such odds. Do you pick them randomly or you have another method in hand? Relying on randomness will bring you random results. Sometimes you might win, other times you will lose, but I don't believe that the profits will be bigger than the losses in the end.
Betting just because the odds are 1.50 without analyzing both teams seems like a not-so-smart idea, but you can do whatever you want.
Why don't you bet on odds that are higher than 1.50? You will have bigger chances of winning.

Congratulations on you win and it was good bet slip in an international match.
But for match like this it will be much easier to win if we choose the favorite team, who is strong and has the potential to win has been clearly seen even though we don't have much experience in international matches.
We can see the performance of each team from the previous few matches and see how the quality of the players in the main squad is, but by the way I quite amazed with all the wins on this multi bet and the increase in odds is really very worthy.
But later when the League has started again we will have difficulty getting the same results as this, whatever the strategy, the League match is always full of surprises and mysteries.

It's seems yesterday was a very lucky day for me, I'm not very good with international games, I'm more experienced with club league games but I decided to give it a trial since it's the last day for international break and got four wins in a row with same strategy but an increased odds of 2 to 3.5 plus respectively,  I'm impressed that my winning streak is much more than my loses so far and that's the message I'm trying to pass. Yes losing is inevitable in gambling but try as much as possible to develop strategies that would secure more winnings than loses no matter your reason for gambling. Well, this has given me enough staking power to continue my 1.50 plus rollover when every player returns to their various club side, Goodluck to me.

The bitter truth is that odds can never guarantee winning at all, irrespective of how small an odd is it doesn't give the gambler any chances of winning. But however, am not discouraging you any can chose whatever strategy they want, it is a nice though I have been trying betting on a smaller odds with a big amount but when I does that I remove emotions completely because nothing is sure until it is over when it comes to gambling, although most times what another gambler might have as a big amount of money for betting might be a small amount for another gambler, the most important as it is always advisable is to gamble with an amount that one can afford to lose hence, irrespective of gambling strategy one should be able to stay within his or her limit as not to become addicted and and becomes devasted.

What is the main idea of ​​this initiative? I'd be happy to see the results (hopefully it will be a more or less long thread and not several unsuccessful bets in a row), but do you have any idea/strategy that you want to test/refute? There is nothing interesting in betting on "reliable" odds in themselves, since the profit is small, and losses sharply kill capital and subsequent recovery is long.

This is not good for me because the risk to reward is not sustainable for long term roll over. There are many factors that will make this system to collapse, some of which being that two consecutive losses will damage the gambler completely. Furthermore, 1.5 odd may seem easy but the truth is that it is not easy to get consistently and since this model require roll over, the accuracy is expected to be 100% which is not possible in gambling. A good model should give some room for losses which is inevitable in gambling. Therefore, this model for me is not good unless some major modifications can be made on it.

It is not a bad idea to try a new thing or strategy but however, a strategy that would lead to addiction is what I do not give into. Although your strategy is a good one but do you not think that would likely result in you getting addicted? If emotions sets in after losing, you would be able to control it and I believe you would want to use same strategy to chase your losses and it would end up in you losing more and more. However be the case, you should stake with amount you could afford loose.

After a successful test run yesterday, I decided to select four games that made up about 1.80 plus odds, i cross-checked all four games, checking their team strength, wins in past 5 matches and positions in the league including the conditions of players and luckily for me I secured another win, you can see for yourself in the image above. Also after considering some advice I got, I've decided to make it a maximum of two bets in a week and so far this first week was successful, we go again next week.
Disclaimer; this strategy is not the best and doesn't guarantee 100% success weekly so do it at your own risk anyways good luck to anyone considering using same strategy, do not forget to gamble responsibly.

I hope you can be updating this regularly for us to learn from you. But certainly, I will never do a thing like this, do you know why? It can never allow for proper risk management in gambling. You mean if you lose, you lose a whole amount, but if you win, you will win 1/2 of your money risked. I don't see how this is a smart betting.

For instance, if you wager $100 and lose, you lose the whole $100, but if you wager the same amount and win, you would win just $50 with that 1.5 odds. This is never a proper way to outsmart gambling with management but a means to keep us afloat in multiple losses because in 4 games, if you lost 2 games and won 2 games, you are still a loser with this plan. What worth is that?

Just because the odds is small doesn't mean it's a sure bet, if someone can lose a bet of 1.01 then it means that this also can fail. Your strategy is 1.50 odds trice a week until the year ends, I think the chances of having a constant winning streak is quite low, no one has ever done that in sports betting, I have tried roll overs several times and it doesn't always work out, even after all my analysis and research I never achieved a constant win. You can go ahead and give it a try, just stake what you can afford to lose

Gambling 3 times a week on soccer matches, with odds of 1.50, is not ambitious and is good enough, but in my personal opinion, no matter how much you bet or determine a well-organized betting slip to avoid addiction to gambling, if you have problems with emotions and so on like discipline it will make you not care about the rules you have made for yourself, I hope the rules you make for yourself will be helpful enough to limit the money you want to spend on gambling every week.

Yeah because choosing a favorite team has a high chance of winning, but we know it's hard to predict sometimes the favored team can lose in other leagues,. The majority of gamblers will choose the favorite team to increase the chances of winning in their bets, I also do the same in sports betting.

Usually... I do multi (3-5) match bets every week, sometimes with a single bet, the odds are small if you choose the favorite team, say Manchester City, the odds are definitely below 1.50 if the opponent is inferior.

I just think what if I bet the whole season on Manchester City with a single bet, it doesn't matter that the odds are small I just want to know the statistics at the end of the season more wins or losses.

Even if we say, the odds are low - it doesn't guarantee that you will indeed win in every bet. So if you try to place multi-bets of low odds, the risk of losing it all for me is high. So what will you do if you lost the bets? How are you gonna bet the next game? For sure, you will use another set of funds. If you want a better assurance, just do single bet one at a time. But it is all on you, whether you want to take the risk in multi-bet or not.

It is true that there is no new strategy again because most of the strategies we are seeing currently have been used before now in the gambling space. I like this pattern that op just explained and it looks good but one can still make some profits from it if we are someone lucky to be making good predictions. Choosing 1.50 odds bet everyday may looks very easy to win but it is not actually so. We can still bet choosing 1.5 odds with ease  and suddenly win the first and second games but the third one could end up in loses. This could even start from the first bet or second bet because anything can happen in the gambling world.

Yes you are right most times there will be changes that may results to lose where picking just 3 games might not work completely as it works for you, some people are just there trying all they could do to gain winning and if they apply this strategies they might win or not but the thing is they should be consistent with they are doing to secure winning. However, games with little odds often win but its very hard to determines which to win or not.

Well, this is a good idea and one that I support, but I really hope this is not centered around making money off bets, and for the fact you mentioned you will be staking high me wonder how high and hope the high you meant is an amount that you are willing and comfortable to lose just incase you end up in a really bad day or week where you have to lose all the three bets for the week..

If you are doing this for the sake of just having fun and possibly to make you enjoy watching the matches that you bet on, then it's completely fine, having fun does not mean you can not make money, but make sure that the money is to be won shouldn't be a priority.
But if you are doing this solely to make money, sorry but you might end up really disappointed, specially if you are not really into sports that deep to know secrets.

Did a test run today concerning that strategy and the outcome is impressive, though I'm not claiming that this strategy is the best and would be 100% successful, I'm pretty sure the house would always have the best edge against gamblers but the goal is to avoid too much loses while trying to entertain myself through gambling. Well I've gone through the replies from everyone and so far most of them are encouraging and I'll ponder on the ones I feel would be very helpful thanks to you all once again. However use this strategy at your own risk cause it doesn't guarantee success always.

Maintaining a winning streak in while is very possible but the problem has remained with how long will you be able to still maintain such consistently, gambling has never been a thing that gives off assurance in any form, it's rather been about luck and in some cases a few lucky situations of random skill influence around the picks.

Even with small odds as those listed above, you can still not be too sure of winning a game at some point because you don't have total control over the incidents of the game not even the bookies does and so their odds isn't a perfect compass as to the absolute pick guarantee so all this should be put into consideration.

Many gamblers may consider betting only on the favorite team even though the odds are actually low. Betting on the favorite team will basically not make you always win because no one knows exactly how the final result will be. The risk of losing is definitely there and you should never ignore that. I don't think this approach to gambling is very good, but your winning ratio is likely to be higher than betting on random matches.

Single bets are not very profitable sometimes, so I think you can still choose multi bets on certain weeks between 2 to 4 matches. But the most important thing is not to change the purpose of gambling into a place to make money regularly, it will only make you lose more than win.

Maybe some of you have already chosen your favorite teams from other top European leagues? You set odds of 1.5 on single bets so this is better than on multi bets which are quite difficult to win, but keep in mind you will not avoid addiction you have made a strategy where betting regularly means it can be addictive especially if you expect profits.

Well what I've always thought is... How to bet the whole season on Manchester City? We know this team has a chance of winning more matches even we bet single we seem to have a profit right? But this plan has not yet been realized.

Indeed, the chances are lower because this bet will be based on two or three team that are competing and if one of them fails then the bet will no longer apply, on the actual odds which may be much smaller but this is obtained from the favorite team.
It will be very easy to get such odds when choosing multi bet in one match, this can increase the chances of winning by minimizing the risk because we choose the favored team.
It just that everyone will have their own way or strategy in betting, I myself always consider how each match will take place, if it is not possible then avoid taking several teams to become one betting slip with larger odds.
Multi betting is way of betting with risks that can never be predicted, we have to be really smart to be able to win the chosen multi betting.

This is exactly the reason I hate this kind of approach because it exposes you to big financial loss. Have you thought about you losing the first bet and losing the high stakes on the process.

This gambling process ensures you don't just stake with funds you can afford to lose, but some part of your livelihood.

 I'll also mention that if for any reason you lose the initial capital, the person might end up chasing their loses and getting addicted in the process

This is a very smart strategy keep you at an advantage of winning often than you would loose but another thing would be discipline to staying true to this strategy and not getting tempted at some point to add some other games or increase the odds, because at times, the urge to add other games you see and feel too sure about can come and when you fall prey, you further reduce your chance of winning a s you should, it's actually a good strategy if you can stick to, you get to win and not really get addicted at some point but don't fail to understand that luck remains the key factor gambling, in as much as you may want to express as much experience and skill as possible, you can still get unlucky at some point.

Well, every gambler has a strategy for their game selection and how they want to stake on their favorite team. The odds you want stake on is small and there's possibility that you could still win more with those odd but you must not forget that small odds doesn't also mean that you will not experience losses. So, you have to make up your mind for what ever result you get, you should also stake only the amount you can afford to lose. Some people usually love to stake huge amount in small odds, so that they can win huge amount, but it's risky to stake a huge amount you can not afford to lose.

it's more risky because odds are lower than actual odds of one single matches when you do that. I mean you will get a higher edge against you than if you use single bets, because the margin will get multiplied by each leg actually. So if you are able to find value bets, with odds higher than actual probabilities it will be ok and you will make profits but otherwise you are likely to lose your money very quickly by doing that.

Using gamble as a means of making money in future is not a good idea because the gambler will lose enough money before getting little winning. OP want to make his bet more riskier because he is thinking planning to stake high amounts on his bet.
@op just want you to know that you can only risk what you can afford to lose if you don't want to become sad if you eventually lost your bet.

Let's do the math based on this :

So here's what it's says.

Now, here's the question, is it easy to win 2 out of 3 with 1.50 odds? if so and someone have proven it then this strategy of betting 1.50 odd is working and might be very popular already, thing is, it's not.

It is actually a very nice strategy and I think overall the bettor should be on profit right ? because from what I have read on the previous pages , it seems that this strategy has a 65% chance to success at the end of the championship you have bet on so that is already a win in my opinion. However , gambling strategies should be swapped between them from time to time because if one of them is not working , maybe the other one does. 

Personally, I think op was trying to seek some ways to fight addiction even when betting this league.
And I also agree with you @oshomsondy thy if the op is looking to make money from gambling as a source of income then the bitter truth is that, he might even make more loss than even expected and as such he should explore the games and not trying to make a living off gambling without having some other source of  income.

@op, gambling is a very risky game and as such, while trying to pick your games, you should always remember to only gamble with the amount you can afford to loss as there is nothing guaranteed in gambling not even a small odd.

Talking about sports betting, whatever method you apply still contains risks. However, each of us is free to express bets according to our wishes and understanding. Regarding odds, it all depends on how you respond to your bet, whether it's odds of 1.5, or less than that, it's all the bettor's decision. Whether it's with a multibet option, or a single match. The point is the same, enjoying the show and winning. Based on my personal understanding, there is nothing that is truly ideal for betting. I mean, every choice is always at risk. Moreover, the favorite team does not guarantee that it will win its match every time. Out of three matches, one team loses, then your parlay loses. Even though, you choose the lowest odds. By the way, you can apply bets as you like or conceptualize, it's better if you avoid excessive betting. The impact, in addition to the consequences of losing money, the potential for addiction is quite large. Well, it's wise to play in this fairly risky entertainment.

we both do not know the success rate of your betting method. please do it and maybe you can share the results this week or several weeks of bets you have made. it develops your capital or even further depletes your capital.

I hope you don't consider this sports betting as future trading. your method may work, but it also depends on your luck. you limit the amount of bets but don't forget to limit the nominal value.
this activity will become continuous gambling. stay responsible and in control.

Some kind of strategy is probably better than none, but if you already have money for some experiments of this type, instead of playing with relatively small gains, why not try something bolder?

Let's say you have $1000 and you plan to use that amount in such a way that you will play 10 times a $100 bet at odds of 10. At the same time, take into account that you take a maximum of 3 matches with odds that are between 2.10 and 2.20. So each of your possible winnings is $1000, and the bet is $100 - which means that if you miss 9 times and win once, you still have $1000, and if you succeed in winning only twice, you have $1000 profit.

Of course, you can try the same thing with a smaller amount, but it all boils down to choosing events carefully and having a little luck - and if you don't succeed in guessing even one out of 10 times, maybe it's better to give up the idea of ​​getting serious about sports betting. My personal record is 7/10, and I have never missed all ten times.

Though its a nice strategy but there is no strategy that is new to the whole gambling community. Of course it's indeed a strategy used by most people. But still wining is never sure. Even if you play 3 games on a ticket with 1.20 odd, it might likely still lose. Though I don't want to sound as if I want to counter or discourage your opinion but if it was me I will just chose a single match that will give me 1.50 or 2odd to risk and win %50-100 of my stake than risk 3Match on a ticket for 1.50 odd.

This will be my third year betting on the Portuguese League
In the first season I got great results, in the second I lost more bets, but I still ended up with profits (because I make my bankroll for the league separately)

Let's see how my third season goes
The 3 teams from Portugal (Benfica, Porto and Sporting) are very constant in general. At the end of the season, all three together lose around 10 to 12 games in total, so you can manage your bets well



From what I've seen, the OP said it will be 1 bet per week instead of 3
In any case, it's interesting to follow different strategies 

It gets even worse, what if you bet one hour before the game on 1.5, and by the time it starts it's 1.6?
You cash out and take the loss or do you go with it? You place another extra bet and you write this off?

A far better experiment would be to put a bet on every single team that is under 1.5 for the win at the start of the match, do that for a league, and at the end of the season check the results, if you're in the green or red. Further advice would be to not try Martigale on such a thing cause I've already seen the results, it ends badly even with $10 starting bet, and with 9 games a week and 1$ you're better collecting cans.
But too much work, to little reward in entertainment.

That's why I stated that I'll split my profit into half when I win and bet on another 1.50 odds the next week, now if I'm unlucky and lose, then I still got a plan b which is half of the previous profit I got, I know some people would be seeing that as chasing loses but that's not it, chasing loses is when a gambler bets again to recover their lose immediately they lose their bet but in this case I'll be trying again the next week with another selected 1.50 to 1.90 odd. Yes I'm pretty sure that little odds doesn't guarantee a sure win but I consider it to be less riskier moreover I'm betting with what I can afford to lose regardless of whether I'm staking high or not. Anyways I've picked some Interesting points from you and I'll ponder on them cause I believe they'll help me make good decisions while selecting the teams I want to bet on, thanks anyways.

Looks good, but it would be better if you do what you can and don't have to do it three times a week. I mean do the bet as comfortable as you have free time and bet when your mind is relaxed. This way it will be easier for you to do the analysis to get the right prediction.
And one suggestion from me, it would be better to choose to bet on a single bet than a parlay bet that makes you always lose all your bets if 1 match fails. Or you can use a parlay bet, it is better to choose less than 5 teams that you will enter into your parlay bet slip.

Nice challenge especially that you plan to cut your losses at the very beginning  , only issue will be winning the first bet as 1.5odds pretty much translates into a 50-50 chance..but whatever the outcome do it for science 

 If I read and understood you correctly, you are actually making accumulators and not single bets 

Well I guess you just increased the risk factor mate and lowered your winning chances too....why not stick to one game on the slip and see how far you can go..just do some research when picking your teams...let the odds not fool you.

This is how gambling addiction in sport betting is. He wants to make money from betting and that is the reason bettors are losing. He wants to earn money from betting and he is strategizing how it would work. Very bad.

This is not about you are just saying, what you posted is the truth. But not that I do not know if it is a good strategy or not, I know it is a bad strategy. A good strategy is when he bet for fun.

Good luck! Please share the results of your betting, whether it's through a spreadsheet or whatever tool you use to track the winning percentage of your experiment. That 1.50 odds suggest the chances of winning are generally over 50%, but let's see if that will work and if it can translate into a profitable journey since this is ongoing until the year ends.

How can it be avoided addiction since you are betting thrice a week and even had that kind of strategy. So for me, this is just another excuse to continue to bet and be a gambler, just saying. And we can't tell if this is good strategy or not, what happens if you lose?

Are you going to bet and continue with this strategy? If your answer is yes, then it's the contrary mate, you are going to be addicted no matter what. So better just control yourself and not to bet as much as thrice a week.

It is a good strategic view ranging to expand your profits by stages on the target to accumulate hugely with the little capital. It would help to minimize huge losses as lost counts on bets is the amount of capital we losts.

Although, out of greeds, we don't still feel excited when the casino takes back the profits we have made despites how early concious we might be to pull back a that we don't also loose our capital at the virtue of our stakes lather turns the opposite side of our predictions being much being lucky of winings.

But this your strategy is not authentic OP because there is no terms of Plan B. The draft of the game is picking lower odds in position to less risks but what if the game fails your expectations, are you restaking? Because the game of luck in gambling can disappoint players even on little risk while higher risks could be a favour.
I only brought this to your attention because the little odds does not still guarantee your winning so, staking higher wager on it can still be risky.

I put it to you that there's no gambler that won't encounter lose, no matter how good your strategy is, you'll atleast win and lose but the goal is to avoid too much loses by applying gambling risk management moreover if you've read through this thread carefully, you'll see where I retraced my statement concerning limiting my bet from thrice a week to once a week, I think you'll see that in a reply to Wiwo's post and I don't see that as betting every time. I'm pretty aware that the big teams in top European leagues would not win everytime, they'll sure get unlucky sometimes but football betting is filled with different options that could still give me the odd from the range of 1.50 to 1.90 for instance options like a team to win either half, draw no bet, 1x2-2UP, over/under, handicaps, corners, number of throws etc instead of straight win. However I still appreciate your advice.

This will only result to losses. If he wants to keep updating this thread, he will likely stop because what he wanted to do is not possible. Good bettors will not always bet every time.

Portuguese Primeira Liga is good but there could be disappointment at anytime just like Benfica lost to Famalicao in an away match. But Famalicao has been playing a very good match this season with all its three matches won just like Sporting Lisbon and FC Porto.

A very nice but misleading idea. It will be suicidal. I beg you to gamble without target and much expectations. Gamble for fun and have peace of mind. I know you are talking about sports betting. How about betting on Manchester United Vs Liverpool and see how the outcome will be, including the excitement. Don't condition yourself because of gambling.

Mate, you are wrong. It is more risky when 3 matches give you 1.5 odds than when a single match gives you same. Think about it.

This is my sort of betting.  Going for wins over trying to make a big payday.  While upsets can destroy your bankroll, who doesn't like to win?  I think increasing your odds of winning less money is probably better for your entertainment and mental health, but there's nothing like hitting a long shot.  I rarely go against the odds though unless I have a good reason to do so or the risk/reward makes it worth it.  I prefer to get lots of small wins so I can feel like a good gambler and smile when I win. 

Betting on 1.50 odd won't be a difficult thing for you to get but it will also not be very easy for you to win since most times the big teams which you will likely pick to win games will tend to disappoint you and make you to lose your bet.

This is my advice since I will gladly help out if you need my assistance because I believe 1.50 odd is not too difficult for me to come up with as some one who has been on the soccer betting for a long time, instead of betting three times a week, I suggest you do a 5days roll over for instance, if  you want to use $100 for 1.50 if you win $150 in your first stake use the $150 to try another 1.50 odd do it for five days you will realize more profit than betting 3 times a week. I can help out in the selection of odds if you don't mind because I like the idea.

I know you are trying to minimize the risk, and it may be a good idea, but just know that gambling is always gambling. I don't think it will continue working as you may expect. It's very possible that even from your first term of betting on that 0.5 odd, you could lose the money. There's no assurance in gambling, so don't think that you've found a strategy to consistently make money in it. In fact, you might try it 3 or 4 times and experience some wins, but there will come a time when you may lose. You might be tempted to use a very large amount of money to stake, and that's when one big club could mess up, and you could lose everything.

So, keep in mind that gambling is not a reliable way of making money. Many people have tried different methods in the past, only to end up losing everything they had. If there were any assurance in a team's victory, I believe a lot of wealthy people would be gambling huge amounts of money just to get even a 20% return on their capital used for betting.

What do you fear about multiple bets that makes you to think about this type of gambling. Don't you think others have tried and it's not profitable and exhausting to be looking oft two or more games to accumulate 1.5 odds and bet on? Why not just compile 10 games for the week and bet your money on them. There is advantage to how you want to play it and there is disadvantage to it too but the advantage is you get more pay out than when you bet with 1.5 odds.

Whats even the assurance that you wouldn't lose the 3 bet at once? You might think this is having less chance of ruining your games but I must tell you that it's gambling and expecting any possibility here. It might shock you that your 3 bets wouldn't come as you expected because some weeks are just bad like that but this might help you things some changes to you depending on how big your staking power is from the beginning. A reminder, don't forget to gamble what you can afford to lose.

What you will do if you will accumulate 3 games in one ticket with the total odd of 1.50 reminds me of a paid tipping service I used to use for some months a long time ago, just for the details they were called PremiumTipping and they did ask a 10 dollar monthly subscription and every day they gave you a ticket with 3-4 games with odds ranging from 1.45 to maximum of 2.15 in total. I remembered that I won by following them for a couple of months until a bad wave hit me and I didn't follow them anymore but yes what you will do if you accumulate more than one game in a total odd of 1.50 can be successful if you think thoroughly as which games to choose and make a proper analysis of the situation of such games.

Top European teams, that means you are planning of using different leagues right because most European games both Premier League and Laliga games are played on same days unless when there is skme complications and then they asked for shift to Tuesday and Thursday, so I don't know how you plan on making this possible in the same day. Why not just book your games at once and put your money and expect your results at once, this should help you make quick decisions for the next bet.

I'm really skeptical on how you intend to choose your odd because I understand very well that betting has an option of giving you 1.5 or even more odd, but the probability of the occurrences are low but even the once with low odds doesn't guarantee that you are going to win the game too, there are some option of 1.1 odd that you think will happen and you will be disappointed they never happen and your money is good as gone. So think about what I said.

I'll follow your thread
Remember to post updates to see the result

Are you going to set a total bankroll for your bets?

It's interesting to note that each European championship has its own particularities. I really like betting on the Portuguese championship because there are 3 teams that always finish in the top 3 positions, and I always manage to make good multiple bets

I think just a single game can give you 1.5 or more odds depending on what team you are choosing and the pattern of game you are betting on. Gambling is actually fun when we are not too greedy with the way we gamble. This kind of gambling pattern is quite original and I would love to see your results after the end of a single month. Tie could yield some profits for you with time, that's if you are not too greedy along the line. This is the way we ought to be gambling we actually don't want to be complaining everytime that we are not making profits for ourselves. It is good we gamble less with smaller profits continually, and we could be surprised of accumulating some big rewards with time.

Well it all depends on  what you want, so if you feel that gambling that way is suitable for you better because in gambling what everybody is looking for is a pattern or method that would increase there chances of wining but however don't feel that using that method exempt you from losing because if you ask those who gambles on a regular basis they would tell you that even 1.0 odd can prevent somebody from wining sometimes, so actually don't consider any match based on there odds because most betting platform can purposely reduced a certain odds in other to confuse a gambler, though for me gambling three times a week is a bit too much because if you stake high and eventually lose the game the emotion will be too overwhelming for you.

It's nonsense actually because I don't understand why a gambler will risk his money on such odd. To make it more absurd, Op said that he's going to combine two to three games in a single ticket to get that odd. Doing this will only increase the risk since different events will have a different outcome. It would have been better if he's picking a single game that would give him such odd.

I would advise Op to stake on higher odds with little amount than to stake high on small odds. It doesn't make sense risking a higher amount for a profit that is barely half of what you risk. Moreover, small odds does not guarantee winning.

well... trying to bet "fixed odds" or trying to earn a "fixed amount" is something really risky that will end clearly in a loss.
Why? Because you are chasing the result even without details on match or event you're going to play.
If you know tennis games very well it's not the same to play top 100 players in a Slam or top 1000 in a challenge competition...
Trying to achieve this result (1.50 odd x3 in a week) will lead just to a loss in long term even with such low odd.

The decision is made by you and before you come here to post it's assumed that is what I'm your mind already to do before asking here, so even though you decided to bet it and people here gives suggestions you might counter theirs and follow your mind besides the funds is from you and no one else.

However, 1.5 odd is fair enough to bet on and there's every likelihood of winning than lose though I can't guarantee you that there is always winning but it would be better you chose club that scores much goals as they play with this it's very much easier for easier for you to secure winning than having 2 to 4 games in a ticket.

Well it is a good idea but you just have to keep it at one side of your mind that what you are doing is gamble and everyday might not be for winning because gamble is like a give and take thing, but most times the gamblers gives more than what they have taken.
On this gambling section in the forum, I have seen a thread when the gambler lost millions of dollars on 1.01 odd (if am correct), this means that most times the lesser odds are the most dangerous odds. Although the more games you add on your bet, the more risky it gets.

Betting three times a week is almost like you're betting on all the sports event that's going on in that week. That sort of strategy for me is not the best way to schedule your betting plan. Before you've gambled three times a week, you will discover that yoive spent above  30% of your earning for only for gambling. One thing with gambling is that if you start with a small amount, the probability of increasing it to something bigger is very high and for your case where you're already making it oke of the top thing you're going to be doing every week, you're technically on a journey to become addicted too fast.

for you to even think of the possibility of betting daily, it's clear you want to get addicted. Take the risk of gambling daily for a period of 2 weeks and watch if your life will ever remain the same. Even if you are winning more than you loose, you can't gamble at that pace for up to a period of 3 months without become a chronic gambling addict. The rate at which you gamble shouldn't be too much that you have to set a routine for it. It's something you do once in a while and go about it consciously to minimize loss.

I’m not a sports bettor expert but I don’t usually look at odds when I’m searching for picks to bet. I’m more curious about the team that I will going to bet or simply proving a point for my pick rather than betting solely for the odds.

Entertainment wise, I don’t see this method will gonna work for me however this will help user that wants to set a limit on the risk they are willing to take on their pick.

Keep us updated on the outcome.

Are betting odds of 1.5 the biggest or smallest odds for one team, I'm also curious why you focus on odds of 1.5, isn't football betting played based on analysis and predictions of teams that have an above average chance of winning.

My understanding and what I do in sports betting, especially football, of course I never bet on odds of 1.5x 2.5, I will see the best team that can win the game.
In my case of gambling, once I bet at low odds of 1.1, I thought the low odds team could win at that time, if I'm not mistaken the odds were 1.1 x 2.0, the fact that happened in the 30th minute, odds 1.1 rose to 2.5, odds for team 2.0 fell to 1.5, The game took place in the 70th minute, odds of 1.1 rose again to 5.5 and odds of 2.0 dropped drastically to 1.0, at the end of the match the team I bet on 1.1 lost with a score of 0-1.

.From my experience, it is clear that there are no guarantees, so bet based on the team, conditions, players and so on to win in soccer betting.

To me it doesn't really matters how many times, you bet a week on these top league games, what I will advice is having something like a record book of your betting wins/loss to go through possibly monthly or more in order to watch yourself of any absurd changes tending to addiction or if you are financially killing yourself and then halt everything for the main time or change betting approach.
I have friends who bet more than me during the week and still have a better win ratio, is just matter on keeping yourself in check always.

From what I understand, it's going to be a plan to bet on football @ 1.5 odds 3 times a week continuously at the end of the year. I don't think you mentioned any capital that you are starting with. I believe it could make or break it and how much are you going to bet, so you would know what amount you need to start with and have a goal that you can get every week.

Well, I stated it clear that I'll reconsider the number of times I'll bet in a week and instead of betting thrice a week I'll consider twice or once a week, I guess that's fair enough, also it mustn't necessary be 1.5 odds, if I see a game I feel comfortable betting on that's in the range of 1.50 to 1.90 odds sure I'll bet on it but I won't exceed 1.90 odds.

Well, I'm fully aware that the house always have the best edge, I'm not saying it's the best strategy infact there's no best strategy to gambling cause at some point I could lose even with such odds but the goal is to apply risk management and avoid too much losses. I also stated it clear that I'll split the profits from the 1st game, that's if I win into half and rollover at least it would serve as my staking power to continue the next week, let's see how it goes, anyways your advice is appreciated I'll ponder more on some points.

First of all as someone that has been in the system for long I can tell you this for free, it's not possible to maintain a winning streak for that long no matter how small the odd is, you can't expect the outcome to always be in your favour no matter how good your predictions are. Having up to 2 or 3 games in a slip of 1.5 odds seems to be very safe but it's actually very risky compared to playing just a single game , a lot of people would disagree with it but that's how it is. The best thing to do is to withdraw the profit made on each day instead of rolling over

If you are worried about becoming an addict, the best thing to do is not to gamble at all or to do it in a very sporadic way, not as you suggest, which would be a regular way. The problem behaviors with gambling are that many people preestablish a perfect plan like yours and then skip it.

And the 1.5 odds thing seems to me to be nonsense. If a game gives you 1.9 odds and there is no 1.5 odds available, aren't you going to bet?

Remember to stake what you can afford to lose, as long as you do that you cam employ different strategies to try and win your bet, betting on low odds is a strategy that has been used for a long time, downside is you have to stake high to make it profitable and that presents a huge risk that one or two losses will be significant.

3 days a week is 42.8% of the days of your week, that is already a high number to start with if you are trying to avoid addiction.

This would be hard to avoid addiction, once you started to win and lose, there's a chance that you'll want to win back your losses or wanted to more win. Though, it's not that bad to try it and it's not impossible to achieve it. It would be better if you could update your thread like, starting money, your bets, win & losses and your total profit so we would be able to track down your experiment. It's actually interesting how much you would earn after a year or if you would be able to make it throughout the year by this method.

It's great that you're open to feedback and willing to adjust your approach to avoid potential pitfalls. Betting can be fun, but it's crucial to keep it in perspective and set boundaries. Limiting your bets to once a week might be a good idea if you're concerned about addiction. Also, focusing on the teams' performance rather than just the odds could help you make more informed decisions. Whatever you decide, just make sure you're comfortable with the risks and only wager what you can afford to lose. Best of luck!

Thanks for your advice but I believe everyone have their reasons for gambling, some for entertainment, side hustle etc moreover I don't see gambling as a major source of income since I got other better ways of meeting ends needs, well I'll consider not staking too very high but just know it's definitely what I can afford to lose.

That's why I need opinions from forum members here, two heads they say could be better than one and the advise I get here would go a long way, was avoiding addiction that's why I said thrice every week but if that's not enough I could limit it to once every week, thanks for the advice mate.

You want the avoid addiction and you want to bet in weekend consisntly till the year end, I bet you before the year ends you will become addicted already, and also don't think that because a game have a 1.50 odd makes it a sure bet to win, and taking such a patten of betting, you are already under pressure to meet up with your self set target and that can also put you at risk of losing more.

What I will advice you is that, instead of following odds, you should at least pay more attention to teams and there previous performance which will be much better, to increase your chances of winning.

that is one of the problem most of people have is that they do take gambling as one of their generating important income why why gambling is not meant to be in such I believe that people who understand gambling mostly are the elderly people not young people because young people think that the gambling is only shortest way of making income why gambling have advantages and disadvantages so participating in gambling has crippled many people especially when you fail to understand the system gambling operate and it has deceived many people who thing that there will become a billionaire through gambling, I support your ideas and let the world know that gambling is risk that's my advice to the newbies

Do not consider betting as a means of making money. You will likey just lose more than you will be winning. I am saying this from experience. You do not need to think or bother yourself about how much you want to win daily or weekly. Just check matches and pick the one you think you would win and stake it with small amount of money. If it is just a single 1.5 odd in a week, that is enough.

Hello guys, I thought about this earlier today and I've decided to give it a trial starting from this weekend, I'll be picking about 1.5 odds thrice every week and stake high then the amount I realize from the profits I'll make if I win on the first day would be spilt into half and used to bet on another 1.50 odds and like I said earlier,  I'll be doing this three times a week since the EPL and most other top European League games are played mostly during the weekends, would have made it daily but I only love betting on teams from top European Leagues and I think the idea of thrice a week is much better to avoid addiction, what do you guys think, I'll need your opinion on this please.
Note: that the 1.5 odds I'll be betting on mustn't be from one game, it could come from 2 to 3 games in one slip, that's not much riskier compared to betting on that particular odds from one match.
