Know the history of the teams that are having a match, that way you can make a good analysis which team has bigger chances to win and which one is near to losing. Though it can’t guarantee still, but at least it would be a big help though. And when you bet, do not hold your hopes too high. There are times that even when you see your favorite team is on its way to win, there are unexpected factors that suddenly come out and make the opponent the winning team so be open for some losses too. And lastly, bet on what you can afford to lose, that will not make your finances miserable later on.
Daily bets are placed on games, and both lucrative and unprofitable gamblers strive for the same objective: collecting daily profits. Making an important research on statistics and prior records before placing a wager only decreases your losses and increases your chances of a profitable outcome. Gambling has both induced profits and losses; it is our erroneous thinking to believe that with all of the potential gambling strategies at our disposal, we can avoid losses; the answer is no. Never expect too much from gambling; the system is unpredictable, and anything can happen at any time.

Following these methods and constantly improving your skills will allow you to improve your betting talents and raise your chances of winning more bets over time. Remember that sports betting does require patience, discipline, and dedication to make it profitable.

What do you think?

The points you mentioned are very good, but I would like to add two more precious tips that many bettors do not take into account....

One of them is that the favorite doesn't always win... along with your tip that it is necessary to be well informed about the disputed championship/tournament, it is also necessary to understand the "deviation points" that can occur in the probabilities because the bookmakers they usually follow a probabilities model and always "let slip" some detail that can be very relevant for a reversal of result that only smart bettors can see. Plus... playing the house odds and winning can make you a lot of money.

Following the same tip as above, I recommend that you never place "guaranteed" multiple bets... It is common for football bettors, for example, to place their favorite teams in multiple bets to increase the respective odds, especially at the beginning of tournaments where the favorite usually faces lower teams.
However, the risk that is taken with this does not compensate for the extra gains that can be obtained. Low odds generate small profits and an unlikely defeat will suck all your winnings, as favorites are not unbeatable.

All the pointers that OP mentioned can only be achieved in a long-term betting experience. Not spoiling those but those pointers are totally not that effective if a bettor doesn't even know the actual experience of dealing in sports betting for long. It's easy to say for those experienced bettors.

Generally, to improve our sports betting skills "then take it as a habit".

As long as we lurk on sports betting for long, it's impossible that we don't make any improvement while progressing and advancing.

Building experience is the key. It might take time but surely, everyone would be there. Of course, losing is still common to happen but at least, it should be minimized. Although if at some point where a bettor takes sports betting as a habit and still not making any improvement, then I should say they still need more time to improve. Or at worst, shift their career now as sports betting might not really be their forte'.

Simply improve your analysis wherein you'd be practical in a way. If you're hesitating to your bet then atleast minimize the amount of money you would be engaging yourself into it. There's no assurance ofcourse, with the winning team or fighter in every sport. Gamblers can jist make speculations or guesses based on previous matches or fights but that won't guarantee things. You may also go bias with lower odds or simply go in line with majority. Also not be greedy of odds; many gamblers are betting to bigger odds because it will result to bigger rewards. Unfortunately, risk would be bigger as well.
Know the history of the teams that are having a match, that way you can make a good analysis which team has bigger chances to win and which one is near to losing.

And lastly, bet on what you can afford to lose, that will not make your finances miserable later on.
Know everything specially when it comes to numbers or simply with the statistics on which you could be able to picture out on which one is the stronger team and which is the underdog.
Then further research about those players who cant really be able to play or their current news or condition on which you could really make out some reconsideration on betting on the other team if you do saw
that there's some chance for underdog to win. It all matters about on your in depth analysis and some calculations whether there might be some chances of turning of events on which it would
really be just that depending on you  on how you would really be seeing those numbers and events.

On the time that you would be making out bets and having a good number of betting on a particular sport then the rest of learning would really be acquired through real experience.
You would be able to find out other things which you do supposedly need to be learnt up.

When I saw this topic how to get over it, I wondered how can someone turn a $1,000 into $xxx,xxx amount through sports betting. I was aware that it can be done but what strategy or skills an individual needs to be able to do it? I went into browsing mode as I have done earlier and found out the skills needed to get to the peak of sports betting. Here are my five steps to make your sports betting profitable.

1. The most important step is to Research and analyzes before placing your bets: It is imperative that you gather relevant information about teams, players, statistics, and recent performances. This information would enable you to make more informed decisions.

2. Understanding the concept of value: By searching for bets where the odds offered are higher than what you thought the actual odds of an outcome are. By doing that you will be able to identify value bets and potentially increase your profits in the long run.

3. You need to be a legend in a specific sport or league: Your focus should be on a few sports or leagues. As it will allow you to develop a deeper understanding of the teams, players, and trends within those specific areas. In the end, this can give you an edge when making predictions.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms: This is one of the rarest situations. There are instances when betting platforms may offer varying odds for the same event. The best practice is to always compare odds across multiple platforms, which gives you the opportunity to find the best value and maximize your potential returns.

5. Take a systematic approach: Avoid pursuing losses by sticking to a specified plan or method. Discipline in your betting approach and it does improve your long-term prospects of winning.

Following these methods and constantly improving your skills will allow you to improve your betting talents and raise your chances of winning more bets over time. Remember that sports betting does require patience, discipline, and dedication to make it profitable.

What do you think?

I never thought about strategy and methods like you said because I didn't really think about the complications all I had to do was research the team I should choose to place bets and find out injured players etc without thinking about anything else you mentioned.
But I am very impressed with what you said, that it turns out that this method is indeed used by professional gamblers to get bigger profits at each bet.

Number 3 isn't really a requirement. You just have to have a working knowledge of who's who in the sport, and then just complement what you know with research and analysis and you're fine. IMO, being too knowledgeable with a certain sport tends to make one overthink things and affect a lot in the decision-making and analysis process, especially if you really want to get that win for yourself. I mean, who doesn't want to have a win anyway?

The rest of these are okay and equally important, though not a lot are really doing the comparison between different platforms to check the best odds before locking a bet. Also, it's not really something that you can do to 'win' more bets. You win more money per bet, though, by getting the one with the highest odds.

For me, it's important because when you are focused, you will become good at what you are doing. It's advisable to prioritize quality bets over the quantity of bets. Although some people might disagree, believing that more bets add more fun, unfortunately, it would only increase the chances of losing. As you cannot study a lot of games, the chances of winning would be lower.

When you are serious about sports betting, you need to treat it like a profession. Every bet is precious and requires proper study and analysis before placing it.

1. The most important step is to Research and analyzes before placing your bets

This is what you do really need is to know and having that research before you would be placing up some bets. There are some bettors who do really jump from one sport into another
on which they would really be tending to make out some bets but of course it would really be depending on a certain bettor because there are ones who would really be sticking
into the sport on which they are familiar with on which it is really that something suggestable in the first place.

Whenever you do stick or not then analysis and having research is the most important thing when it comes before on placing up bets. You cant really just simply stick on betting
directly with the favorites because you do presume that it would really be always in a win. We cant really be able to tell if we wont really make some indepth search
since we know that there are really upsets that could really happen.

These 5 steps are almost all correct and these are some of the basic points that gamblers must have before making sports bets, I usually also analyze and research but maybe I only bet on certain leagues to bet on football sports and don't play in other leagues let alone clubs that no I know him, apart from that I always look at Odds in betting because it is also important to multiply wins too.

I think the most important thing in betting sports betting is to do research on both clubs, because I only bet and gamble for football sports betting, not betting on other sports. because I'm not talented nor do I understand the game system other than football. So always gamble with what we understand, never gamble with what we don't understand. all wins come back to luck  Wink
Op had don well writing some important things we need to do to earn more as a gambler. We just need to keep doing what we are doing and improve in skill and we are going to see the difference between us that are working hard to better our skills in betting or the kind of sports that we are interested in. Since there are different kind of ways we can bet with numerous games available for us to bet on, it is good to work on our strategy and improve in it to give us accurate skill in predicting the outcome on the bet we are always betting on.

4. Comparing odds from different betting platforms:


I don't actually engage in this because I don't bet large amounts in sports betting. You see, most sports betting sites likely use the same oddsmakers, resulting in similar odds. Even if there are other sports bookies with different odds providers, the disparity wouldn't be significant enough for gamblers to benefit greatly. This only adds value to your betting journey if you're wagering substantial sums, as even a small advantage can have a significant impact on your sports betting experience.

Turning $1000 to a huge amount of money is just by luck. Even if care is not taken and the punter increases his stakes and continue to bet, he may lose all the money won back to the gambling site.
That is exactly what happened to the guy who started that thread mentioned in the OP, he turned a small amount into a big one a lot of times but then lost it all in a single bet only for trying to double the amount, his last bet that I know was about $90k which he had made from only $4k, I don't really find that being wise in any way to spend such a huge amount of money in a single bet unless you are a millionaire and don't care about the money.

One can easily make a lot of bets with smaller amounts and keep getting profits even if they lose some of those bets but manage to win more and even if one wants to try and keep doubling the amount every time, they could do it with just $5k or maybe $10k after reaching $90k so that they can have multiple tries.

What do you think?

To chip in some additional points which I have garnered from experience, have a realistic expectation. It sets the tone for how you'll grow as you build up your betting skill. It eliminates disappointments going after losses. Another point to note is to scatter your bets across teams and sports. Don't just bet on your team because you have listened to an ESPN analysis. Best on other teams too and other sports you have knowledge in. You won't start winning big bets immediately but over time you'll see your winnings increase.

What do you think?

I think this is the most important point. But to understand it, you first need to sit down and generally deal with the mathematics of bets. It is necessary to clearly understand what is the probability of an event and the mathematical expectation of this event. Many people intuitively understand that betting odds less than 2 on a coin toss is unprofitable, and odds over 2 are profitable, but they don't understand the mathematics of this phenomenon. And this lets them down a lot later in betting, as there are more complex options.

I agree that research and analysis are the most important ways to win on sports betting.
Most times people just bet on the bigger team to win, but that is not always the case. You have to look at their current form. You also have to look at how that particular team play against teams that play like their opponents.
Luck has a big role to play before you  win in gambling but luck is not the only factor. You cant just pick any game anyhow how you want just because gambling is luck.

There may be times when sentiments will come in. Maybe the team playing is your favorite team or one of your favorite teams, and you'll find it hard to bet against them. That sentimentality leads to losses.

Players stats: Home averages, away averages, how they perform in certain weather. Things like this can make a difference. If a team travelled 1000 miles and plays that night, will jetlag affect their play? Just on the last example i gave, if a team travelled by jet and plays that night, if a game offers over/under bets I would bet the under almost everytime.

I could have written more, you are right about it. I could have gone very deep to the extent wherein I could have explained about managing the bankroll, determining a budget and etc. I am not an expert as I am still learning. I wanted this thread to be accurate and be discussable on some basic points.

I prefer from your experience.

I mean, you have this theory but can you tried and apply to your self then you add to the thread about the result, experience and other think will apply this concept by your self. IMO, to many thread like these.

Meanwhile, 98% a person who created not sharing or tried the theory.

I am planning to integrate most of these steps before I come up with a result. I am still studying and when I think I am ready I will surely use them to my benefit. It is not that simple to implement, yet it sounds simple when you read it. There is too much to work around it as it is not so simple to keep all data within reach.

I don't want to speak ill or talk you down but I also want to know if you've ever  practiced this things you listed or you just assumed after your researches from net because most of this things would have been better explained if you already got the experience  yourself.
Nevertheless  your points are great and I love the way you took your time to express each of them.
I don't also think that comparing odd from different  bookmakers will actually have any serious impacts on the decisions of one's bet because from my little observations, it seems most of this bookmakers have almost same odds and if we depend on this then we might make some awful decisions

Do add "Never get emotional."
Fans love to do this and they will regret it later thinking they should've bet for the opponent with the handicap glued unto it. There are times we are forcing the bet just because we are hardcore fans of a team or a player.
Like the Finals of the NBA. I am a fan of Jokic so I took the bet of -6.5 for the Nuggets with just 1.70 odd. While I could take +7 or +8 for the Miami Heat with a decent profit and have a higher chance to cover the spread. A mistake then regrets considering all their games are just close battles.
I am better when I am analyzing two teams that I don't care much about. Not a fan. Because there's no emotion clinging to it and I could summarize my prediction quickly.
But you are correct, what you enumerated are the basics of sports betting, now it's up to the gambler if he will take a higher risk by choosing an underdog or not because sometimes it won't go the way we predicted it even thru deep analysis.

Also we can't expect to get an accurate 100% chance to win since even if we know the team is so strong still there are chance for them to lose, so you need to manage the risk and have proper discipline to avoid any mental lapses.
This is correct.

But the important part there is you've made the necessary things that you need to do before placing a bet. Those that have been said by OP and also any other strategy that you use to do before betting.

That's like an unexpected turn of event when the most favored team or player should win but it didn't happen because that's what sports is all about. Not everyone will remain to be strong and a single mistake can turn the game upside down.
