For me I wait for a good market to build my bankroll with single bets or multiple bet with max 2 events with low odds and bet my whole profit from that or a significant portion of that profit onto some parlay with events where I think underdog has a chance...sometimes live ones and sometimes I go for big parlay say 7-8 selections with 1.6-1.7x average odds. Worked many times in last sportsbook but not that much right now. I recall making it to from 100 mbtc to nearly 1 BTC in last sportsbook in 2017-18 but then lost half of it placing some high bankroll builder bets.

The truth is that I do not believe there is a perfect or a right way to bet in sports, every betting strategy works and also fails, so doesn't that mean that they are all good and also all bad when things go the wrong way.

The thing is never try to make profit quickly, take your time with your bets, even if it's slow income, it's better than rushing into a fast and big loss, I know how difficult it is to make profits through betting, so any strategy that works for me, I stick to it, no matter how slow and low the income is, I take it that way.

Sports bets are yet a slow bets but not low bets. Yet sports bets are slow bets but we can earn instantly by just a one sport bets, if we bet a high amount of money and we win on the team of the sports that we bet then it is a good and worthy of waiting. Just like betting in a basketball by game not by series we can get instantly winning after the game, unlike card games like poker and baccarat that we can win and earn a huge amount of money by just a single round table. In my experience in sports betting, I am using parlays because in parlay we can get a good and nice odds so that the chance of winning is very awesome.

That looks like a nice parlay, but is hard to win that way because since all the games have to win the chance to complete a parlay full of wins is really hard.


And i have seen lot of people playing this way, i have a theory; people enjoy more the games if there is a bet on it.

Martingale doesn't work ever anywhere. I'm not sure if you were joking about it. To win with martingale you would need unlimited funds (obviously impossible) and no max bet limit (again obviously impossible).

The best way to make a profit in gambling is to not gamble. It's entertainment - like alcohol and nearly-naked ladies, and you probably don't expect a profit in those activities.

Martingale could be a strategy devised by casinos and sportsbooks to earn them the greatest profit margins. Its based on an assumption of betting odds being fair and balanced. The idea that over the long term a majority of gamblers will experience a near 50/50 split in terms of win/loss record. This implies if a gambler has a losing streak, they can ante up, and bet double. Expecting a winning streak to win back their money. In the real world, this doesn't occur for a variety of reasons I won't go into. A person can reasonably have 10, 50, even 100 match losing streaks in sports betting. Its very easy to lose far often than win, which invalidates the underlying premise of martingale.

A more reasonable strategy could be to halve the dollar size of bets after a loss. Until a better formula for consistently choosing winning bets can be found. Then scale up the dollar sum of bets after a win.

The basic strategy I utilize is to search for patterns and tells which may consistently affect the outcome of matches. And to quantify the net effect individual variables exert. One example of this is some matches taking place at high altitude which can negatively affect athlete's cardio and pace. Sometimes there are underlying trends and patterns which can be utilized to derive the final outcome within a decent scope of accuracy.

For me, it's also okay to bet one at a time. PROFITS IS PROFITS, small or big.
Just think about this; if you bet with only a few games but the accuracy or winning percentage of yours is high, then it's much better than betting a tons of games but you keep losing.

But still, you are right, there are some method that is useful, especially using parlay and martingale..
P.S. my experience of using martingale last time on sports betting was so bad, I lost 

My best strategy is to parlay the favorites(3-4 matches) until the odds reach 2.00 or higher if you want a better payout, currently doing this with the nba teams and was able to get some crazy profits. Not really the best strategy but it's been working for a few days and I feel like odds maker currently overvalue the favorites at the moment since teams are only 10+ games in. 




Another strategy is live betting, sometimes if I like a match but the spread is too high I monitor the live lines and wait for a good time to jump on the spread like when the favorite is down big during the first half.

I don't want to know about sports casinos,  we are here to discuss betting methods.


Sports bets are slow bets because we need to wait until the game ends and we can make parlays to get some nice odds in our bet.
But what's the best betting method for this? We can always use martingale and double our bet after a loss, or we can make parlays to chase big multipliers with small bets.
After watching some bets threads users bet in one game at a time, but this way it would take big time to make a real profit.
So, what do you think is the best way to do it?
