Do you believe knowledge and research can beat the randomness in the game?
Please consider reading the following piece:

http://www.gamblingfactsandfictions.com/id25.htm

In short version:

You must understand that even if the vastly remote, basically impossible chance existed that you were a bit smarter than the Las Vegas oddsmakers, you would still lose anyway because of the house edge. Your bankroll would still get ground out. But get back to reality. The chance of you being smarter than the Las Vegas bookies or the local illegal bookies who get their odds from Las Vegas, to overcome the house edge, just simply is not going to be possible. So forget about it!


Some reasonable points there. And no one is saying it's easy... but there are many people who are better at pricing up than the oddsmakers. And many people who turn a long-term profit on sports betting (but still less than 1% of all bettors). There are some asymmetries that help the bettor - a bettor does not have to bet on every game/event/match, but an oddsmaker has to give prices to every match. With focus and patience, the sports bettor can choose to bet ONLY when he thinks he is getting 'value' (better odds than they should be).

To read about just one pro bettor:

But - to repeat - THIS IS NOT EASY!
Do not kid yourself you can do it! Keep records of your betting and you will know if you are a winner or loser in the long-term. You are probably a loser, but that is OK, as long as you do not bet too much, only for fun.

There's another thread here asking "Whats best strategy to make easy money?"
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/whats-best-strategy-to-make-easy-money-5104674

Cool to see that most replies in that thread are honest and helpful - there *is* no easy way of making money.

But I was thinking it could be interesting to ask:
What are the *easiest* or *most popular* ways of making a profit using gambling and betting sites?

I will start with a first answer:

Matched Betting (Bonus Arbitrage)
http://sportsarbitrageguide.com/blog/tag/bonus-arbitrage/

I think quite a lot of people do this - it is a pretty simple algorithm/process to follow. But the margins are small, and the time required to actually do it profitably is off-putting for many. Plus the operators are getting cleverer at stopping this. But still, it doesn't require too much skill (or?) so I would class it as one of the "easiest" ways to make profits through gambling.

Any others that are easier or more popular?


Yes that was totally a good profitable betting strategy since just what like you have said, it does not really in need of special skills but still you have to be that wise enough on making good decisions so that success will come along your way and not the other way around because betting games are just like a mathematical application of how probability game rules in our life because the possibility was always playing into a 50:50 margin whether you will loose or you will gain. Even you do not need that much skill for it, presence of mind and doing strategic moves will still be the key on the play of gambling for you to be able to earn doing in that way. Ofcourse there are lots of existing betting games out there now that you can also do it online. Good thing is that there are online casinos and gambling sites which offers services such as having bonuses and rewards for those players who have the first time getting into touch with them just what like I have experienced into my online casino I am currently in which offers discount on deposits and deposit bonus for your first deposit. The discount is continuously increasing in a matter by means of you increasing the frequency of your deposits that can be made also by means of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin making it more convenient, fun, interesting and enjoyable playing gambling and online casinos.

There is no really skill needed in getting in touch with gambling because wise men are tough enough to surpass all the challenges in the game to win it all around. But what I got interested is the increasing discount when it comes to deposit that you have been telling for because it was really a great deal.

That was totally true. I guess we both agree with each others idea. Yes the online casino I have been into do offer that great deal of discount for increasing deposit for its players to enjoy. If you want to find out more, just check it right HERE

It's true, there is no way for easy money. But sports bet are sometimes easy to win. Those most of the times can easily guessed but still there is a risk of losing a big money if a normal team lose.

Sports betting, color games are most familliar games from getting profited, but we profited from those games but not that big. It is also just for having fun, and really not to make money because for me it is still not easy to earn money through gambling cause most of the time it is base on luck not more on strategies.

I do believe that some people can be successful in sports betting but it requires a lot of knowledge and research.  Additionally you need a large bankroll to counter any unlucky streaks.

i think the most profitable strategy to win with bets is scalping on live matches, example soccer game team a win on team b for 3-0 and missing 5 minutes at the end the odds are low but the chances of winning are high then i bet a lot on the team a...
The odds are low means you will not get good multiplier for your money. In some worst cases you may get back exact your same betting money excluding the fee for houses and tx. I understand that your strategy is more focusing on NOT TO LOSS rather than making big profits. With this reasons, I may opt for staying away so that I will assume my money is not undergoing any hard risks.

Even small margins are really good if you are just focusing on lower risk as possible but as said this might end up to be break even or even lose up due to fees.
Yes, it is easy but I doubt there are still bettors doesn't really have much idea on how to done this thing between bookies.

Hmm. I thought that 'scalping' meant making very quick trades, to profit from very small price changes. Really just a form of High-Frequency Trading (HFT). But this is so much easier on a betting exchange (like Betfair) where you can take both sides of a bet - Back and Lay. If just using sportsbooks, scalping gets so much harder (but not impossible, I guess). This article covers it pretty well - https://punter2pro.com/make-steady-income-scalping-betting-exchanges/.

Anyway, I think 'scalping' is already covered as a strategy by the option "Trading on betting exchanges in the poll I made.

bitcoin-shark.. it sounds like you are describing an "all on red" or "lump the long odds on" strategy. Has it been profitable for you?

Agreed. I probably shouldn't have allowed referral/affiliate work into the final list.. it is *not* gambling/betting as you say. It is business.
Yes referral links isn't really a gambling though it's coming from the casino but it's not. No money capital/bankroll is associated with for the referror to gamble but the referral has to gamble.

I do believe that some people can be successful in sports betting but it requires a lot of knowledge and research.  Additionally you need a large bankroll to counter any unlucky streaks.
It's the easiest for me, not dice, not slots and other games. Sports betting for me is the easiest if you know the sports, the teams and the news and current events for that specific sports that you are betting.

Of course if you can bring a lot of traffic, referral is a no-brainer but i don't think that it is considered gambling more than in the sense you don't know how many results you will get and when.

@op , no theres no easy profitable strategy

I agree!

...all of them are the same . you can loose or win depending on how lucky you are  

I don't agree! There are many sports bettors who profit year after year. They are not lucky, they are smart. They are good at evaluating sports events and good at money management. It is hard work.


Sports betting involves skills beyond the lucks but do you also accept that it involves lot of cheating to make the game on their sides.
Match fixing is one of the problem we will face on sport bets and you need to follow the big better to kniw what is going to happen.

I think there is a lot of cheating/match fixing used by *some* long-term winning sports bettors (especially in e.g. tennis, cricket, minor league soccer). But I think a significant proportion of long-term winning sports bettors do ot cheat. Although... for horse racing.. it depends what you mean by cheating... lol.

Having a deep bankroll to covered up those mistakes and unfortunate things that happen will bring you better chance to achieved, you can bet according to your knowledge and if ever you did something wrong you can go back and try recovering after assessing the next events, it can only be easy when you have good inputs with the type of games you play.

Mostly strategy does not work in the games like slot machines , roulette etc as those are more of the luck based games . Instead in cards games like poker it requires strategy and experience to win the games . So one should be playing for fun which is best thing to do .
Strategies are just for the reason of beating our opponent in term of knowledge hence luck based games will not allow to have better edge through strategies. Strategies may work if it is new and not popular. It means a newly innovated strategy by you may work for you. When you publish that then more people will follow that including gambling sites. This may be a reason why we are not able to have a long term successful strategies.

I assume there might be some big amount of strategies are existing among gamblers but they might be using on their own gambling so that they are able to crack maximum benefits. This is just a wild guess and I may be wrong as many people here are sharing like strategies are not enough versatile against gambling house's coding.

Not betting is the best strategy Smiley

There is nothing as strategy at all when it comes to strategy , its just pure luck . If you are talking about sports betting then knowledge about the game can provide you edge to make a guess but well the risk is there , just not as much as Dice and lottery .

Dice are actually more easier than any other luck based gambling games because you can set your winning chance at a higher percent though it can lessen your payout a little bit  .

The winning amount doesnt also based on the games you play but it depend on the capital or to the bet that you will put  .

@op , no theres no easy profitable strategy because all of them are the same . you can loose or win depending on how lucky you are   

I personally believe however, that doing bets based on outcomes in sports or something like that is pretty close to being skill-related since you can study certain patterns that can potentially increase your chances of winning substantially.

Of course if you can bring a lot of traffic, referral is a no-brainer but i don't think that it is considered gambling more than in the sense you don't know how many results you will get and when.

I agree somehow but these scenarios are occasional which only happens especially in the Finals/title fights of every game (IMO). But if we are talking to a simple match, I think a particular investor will not invest so much money just for fixing a match because it is not practical to do at all.

Better not to be greatly involve in gambling cause it won't give more profits to us.
No, there are some cases where an individual got so rich because of gambling, just look on the most popular poker stars in the world. However, not all the people got the same perspective. It is inevitable to see people engaging with gambling simply because of one reason — source of "easy money" and that's very sad to know.

But nonetheless I also believe the same thing. For me, gambling is not advisable to set as a primary source of income; working for a job or doing a business are still the best.
