Topic: Sports betting online courses? - page 2. (Read 505 times)

I don't think any gambler can really win consistently if they only believe and believe in betting groups or paid broadcasts for betting predictions, I completely agree with you on this matter.
Moreover, those who subscribe will only spend more money without any guarantee of winning and losses will automatically increase due to paying for subscriptions to betting groups and also paying bets in the matches being bet on.
But recently I have seen quite number of betting groups stating that they will only ask for payment if the predictions given are successful and they also provide referral links for every gambler who wants to bet.
From what I found, I concluded that people who own groups like this not only take advantage by asking for rewards from predictions but also affiliate.

As time goes by, people who gamble by relying on groups like this will realize that they should not trust easily and it is better to teach themselves how to predict results so they can be more experienced and get results consistently because they are betting based on knowledge, not subscribing to betting predictions.

Haha, this is the very first time I am getting to know about the possibility of an online course specifically for sports betting, never did think of the possibility of this, and if at all this actually exist, I possibly will or may never spend a dime to purchase such a course, as I personally think the course will talk about nothing other than what I already know.

Personally, I don't see or think there is anything special in sports betting that needs to be studied or possibly buy a course for, all sports betting require is that the player be a sportsman, that is, someone who really love sports and gives it much attention, like listing or watching sports news and updates, also making out time to watch sports games when ever they are being played.

I do not see anything about sports that I will possibly want to purchase a course for, only ignorant people in engage themselves in buying such a course.

Well, I agree with that. Some people have a better learning ability through courses than trying to build up an experience. Most of them might be gathering strategies and ways to avoid losses at the time when they start betting. Especially if they don't have experience with sports but have an interest in sports betting.

Just like myself, I also prefer to learn from my own experiences. I don't see the need to take any online courses unless it is free. I feel like they can only give a few tips and teach the things I might already know or already doing.

I'm also curious about this one and if there's an organizations that spread awareness about sports betting and have a short courses to deal with the house and on how to bet properly. As far as I know, in my country there is no such short course simply because of our tradition and thinking about Gambling, for us this is not totally acceptable and you will be judged if they will know that you are a gambler. If you are a serious gambler, learning first the concept is a good thing to do.

This online course is actually just another option for those who don't want to learn from their own experience, everyone has different views so still respect anyone who wants to learn from a sports betting course because we can't regulate anyone to choose that way, personally I don't either I want an online course because I prefer learning by myself from my own experience rather than taking a course.

I know that there are also people who prefer to take courses so still respect them because there is no need to force anyone to do what we are currently living. As long as it's free, there's no problem taking the course, but it would be even better to learn on your own, do your own research, the bets we choose definitely have risks and that's what is expected of gambling at one's own risk without having to look at tips from other people or the results of the online course itself. . 

When we talk about sports betting, let us not discuss about house edge as irrilevant IMO.



It's about finding value to secure wins. However, for those who join sports betting channels with the belief that they'll win by blindly following, they may not have a sustainable future in sports betting. Relying too much on others doesn't ensure consistency. Even if they are winning initially, it doesn't guarantee ongoing success. It's known that once a tipster achieves a good winning record, the subscription fee tends to increase. Subscribers may not be aware that the tipster might have just had a lucky streak.

Thank you so much for breaking down those abbreviations and explaining the additional options in sports betting. It's helpful to have a clearer understanding of terms. I'll keep your advice in mind and take the time to explore and understand these different options before venturing further into sports betting.
I agree that I will better understand this when I use it in actual betting. Now that I have gained additional knowledge, I can try other additional options in betting.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, and if you have any more tips or insights, I'm all ears!

I don't do any types of course for sports batting. I belong from a cricket lover family and I watches cricket match with my family from my childhood. Because of watching cricket match from childhood gain a little bit up experience in it. My experience helps me a lot to predict because of having experience in it that's why I don't noticed that any kind of sports betting course. I don't aware with beting sites that's why I have to make some thesis to knowing about it but I don't do any kind of course for that. If you have a little bit experience and dedication to do something then you don't need to do any kind of courses but I don't know if you want to do courses there will may be available some courses for sports betting.

But in my opinion don't do courses because try it your own that's not to hard to learn I learn it my own if you practice it will easy for you you don't need any kind of courses to do something in it.

Of course there's no guarantee of winning but taking your time to study and learn about these options and strategies will at least make you to know what you are doing. Sometimes, playing a bet on the team to win the match is not advantageous because the strength of the team doesn't count some time and the least expected team will win the match or the match might end draw. Draw bet are usually difficult and too risky.

Let me help with explanation of some abbreviation in my earlier comment. Ov/Un option means the number of goals to be score in the match. For example, if you choose ov1.5 option, it means 2 or more goals will be scored in the match and anything less than 2 goals, the bet is cut and your money is gone. The same thing applies to Un (under) options. Un 2.5 for example means that less than 3 goals will be score in the match. Double chance mean that you can combine two options together for a team to either win or draw. DNB mean draw no bet. In this option, you'll get refund if the team you pick DNB draw the match. Some of these options can only be understood when you having a practical on the betting sites.

Thank you for sharing that information. Honestly, I also don't know those other abbreviations you mentioned. What I do know about sports betting is simply choosing the two teams that will win in a match. I'm also hesitant to try other features or additional options in placing bets that I don't know the purpose of and how they work.

I appreciate the link; I'll check it out to enhance my understanding of sports betting terminology. I'll continue learning through various sources and perhaps focus more on practical experience and observation. Maybe it would be better for me to watch live streams on sports betting that teach or provide information on types of bets. Is there something like that?

I know that there is no guarantee of winning, whether I take a course or not, as it is ultimately based on luck and there is no surefire way to win. I do believe that learning about the different types of bets, odds, and strategies can help make more informed decisions and improve the chances of winning. It's only going to be very difficult to make successful bets if you don't know anything about the sport you are betting on.

Funny right? I mean, we can't judge his intention; maybe he just wants to learn a lot about sports betting and is determined to learn it for the sake of profit, but I don't think there are online courses about sports betting. Okay, let's say this in a simple manner. Sports betting is a game where you place a bet on your chosen sports. Example NBA, basketball, you will bet on a team you think will win, or in a player with different condition like, this player will make this point, something like that. So, do you think it requires online courses? No!!! You just need to have a common knowledge about the sports or the players. It will be more advantageous if you have a particular sport of which you are a fan, like NBA basketball. Then it would be easy for you; you don't need to spend money or waste time to have an online course on something that is impossible to predict. We can't predict what will be the outcome of a game; sports betting, or rather gambling, depends on luck, probability, technique, and skills.

In fact, there is no betting group or betting prediction channel that can truly provide guarantee of winning because in each bet the results can still change according to what the house edge wants.
And in reality there are so many superior teams that lose to lower teams so how can betting group provide guarantee of winning, this kind of thing makes me little skeptical of those who offer betting groups with various predictions on offer.
I agree with you that win or good result depends on how we learn to make predictions and analysis of each match we are betting on.

Usually people who join and believe in online courses or betting groups are those who are not confident in their own abilities and really want to get instant predictions without any complicated learning or research.
People like this in the long run will only receive bad luck and also ruin in gambling.

I don't find that so surprising, because IMO it's not so difficult to be a good sports bettor, that is too say a bettor making profits in the long run instead of losing money. What is more difficult is to avoid getting restricted or banned by the sportsbooks. A part of their business is to spot successful bettors and to stop them without losing much money from them. So I think they don't really care if some tips or courses are given on internet. They are already armed against that.

For me this is somehow funny and it's also the first time I have heard of such thing before because I haven't come across such thing, I mean for gambling is something I do because I actually want to feel that winning experience to something I already love. Just imagine someone actually taking lessons on how to play sport betting when you have no idea whatsoever about soccer or any other sport that you can actually predict and gamble on.
And I believe gambling on sports is based on luck so I don't any course that you will read or take part on will actually guarantee you success if you actually get to use the stuffs you have learnt from the course.

If they promise a win, that's when you should doubt their intention because there's no surefire way to win in sports betting. We all take chances, and no one can control our results except ourselves. Some say it's all luck, but you can actually learn to get better over time. Yes, that's the mindset of a serious bettor - aiming for long-term success.

People who believe that online courses guarantee a win don't truly understand what gambling is about.

In gambling, there's always a risk of losing, and that alone removes the word "guarantee."

I have not heard of something like that and even if it exist, what is the possibility that after such course there is a guarantee winning? Winning is what is important in gambling and not all the magic of going through courses for gambling. I can only consider the appropriateness of casino owners going through such course on how to build their casino and organize it in the way that the odds will favour them and they will have edge against gamblers but to have a course teaching gamblers of secret to win (if there is any), I will wait to see more prove to that .

Personally, I learned sports betting for free by using various sources, and now I no longer struggle. Learning the basic terminologies in sports betting is crucial so you can understand what people are talking about, especially in forums.

I like you share this to you https://www.si.com/betting/2020/05/13/sports-betting-terms-definitions-gambling.

It can be helpful for anyone looking to learn more about sports betting terminology.

Once you're familiar with the terms, that's when you can start experimenting on your own. This will help you determine if you're good at sports betting or if there are areas you can still improve. It's a lengthy process, so it's essential to be patient and realistic, rather than aiming for quick money, as that's not the recipe for success.

Haven't heard about those things. Sports betting for me is those who love the sport and can make better decisions in betting.
You can learn the basics on the internet but it's different when a sports enthusiast is updated with current events of a certain sport. Take Adrian Wojnarowski, if that dude is allowed to bet in sports then I bet he will make a ton of money. But I don't think ESPN would let him do that because it's against their policy.
Be careful with this kind of sports betting online courses, they may end up as attempts to scam people. I don't think betting can be thought of when it comes to sports, especially the big leagues. Perhaps, their aims are with small leagues but you will have a hard time finding them in popular sports bookies.
I still think the best way to learn is to watch the preferred game regularly rather than relying on these online courses.

Handicap betting is a very common type of bet in sports and it's somehow profitable when you are lucky. You know gambling is very unpredictable to some extent. There are actually quite a few different types of handicap bets but the two most common ones are European handicap and Asian handicap. European handicap and Asian handicap are both types of handicap betting but they have a few key differences. European handicap can only have a whole number handicaps while Asian handicap can have fractional handicaps. It's just a way of giving point/goal to a player/team against the other even before the game begins. For example, if Team A has a one goal deficit they would have to win by two goals or more in order for the bet to be successful. What I mean is this, if one team is much better than the other, the bookmaker might give the weaker team a head start by handicapping the stronger team. In this case, the stronger team would have to win by more points than usual in order for the bet to be successful. It maybe confusing but you need to pay attention when making handicap choice. However, Asian handicap tends to be more complex than European handicap but it also offers more potential for profit.

I believe you know about the ov/un, double chance, DNB, HM/AW ov&un and the rest. Sport betting options especially soccer is not too hard to understand if you pay attention to it. You just need to dedicate your time and learn about it.

Tennis, football/soccer, NBA, boxing, and esports


I want to learn and understand more about common terms used in sports betting, such as 'handicap' and the like. What are they for, and how are they used?
