Article written by Nils

You may want to have a proper game cash to spend. How do I carry myself ? This is a common scenario, unfortunately, is why so many sportspunters to play because of bad odds. You should actually have funds in as many places as possible and try use as many bookmakers as possible. This way you always be able to play at the best odds. A relatively large cash reserve is needed. You probably need at least $2,000 to start with.

I worked my way up the smart way. Arbitage betting was perhaps easier 5-10 years ago but you can still earn money on it and you need to be smart and learn. (Avoid misstakes).

I suggest you look after them less crisp bookmakers first. Often, those bookies does not change their odds so quickly. The British bookmakers and other european bookies for example "Stan James, Blue Square, Victor Chandler, Boylesports, Eurobet, Ladbrokes, Expekt, Unibet." is usually what you need to start with. If you start to feed them constantly at top odds you will probably not lose in the long run, provided that you are somewhat familiar with sports betting and sport odds.

You can choose to beat them with valuebets or maybe you rather play more safe and use them as surebets. Value players should understand when bookies deliberately put out a lid lines. Sportsbooks can give higher odds for several reasons. Try to figure which bookie are the sharps and avoid bet on value against them. European bookmakers often offer good odds to attract new customers or they are just slow to change their odds. Take those things to your advantage! A bookie which are often at the top of the odds-market or just slow to change their odds is also a bookie you can beat. A bookie that is easy to beat is also often synonymous with small betting limits so you need to move to other places when you win to much from a bookie. There are some professional players who play with multiple accounts with the same bookie however that is not allowed and this can be very dangerous and expensive to try. There are many traps if you do this.

Lesson 2: Which sports should I invest in?

This will obviously depend on what sport you are most familiar with. Many professional players are investing in the major sports. soccer, tennis, the major American sports: MLB, NBA, NHL and college football for football and basketball. Horse racing is a sport that implements a lot of them British companies. There are many other sports you can win on the course, but in the minor sports can be difficult to invest large sums of money and thus it may be harder to earn them big money. It is also a risk that your betting efforts will be limited if you gamble in smaller sports so my suggestion is to invest in major sports. A good advise is to concentrate on One sport because it can be difficult to be an expert in several sports.

Lesson 3: Bonuses

One of the most important concepts for many sharper punters could be to continually chase bonuses. For several reasons, bookies want new customers (losing customers). Take advantage of them, and as many as possible and continue to chase them constantly.

More about sport bonuses; Bonus requirements is often easier in sports betting to catch if you compares to poker bonuses. Yoy can take advantage of good lines and you`ll easy cover the bookies bonus requirements this way. However bookies know about this too so you need to be clever enough to let them know that you not are an odds and bonus hunter. Make smaller bets to start with and do not reveal your bonus chasing too clearly. This can save you from trouble with the bookie for future bets and bet limits.

Bookmakers from time to time giving re-load bonuses to their customers. Try take them as many as possible, always follow the updates and check your emails for newsletters. You can build your own bonus calendar to avoid missing serial bonuses. Unfortunately for players, bonus chasing has become more difficult in recent times but there are still many great bonuses to catch. IMPORTANT. Always read the bonus terms and conditions. This can save you from many mistakes and also a lot of money. ADVISE. Bonus Guide (All betting bonuses from A to Z is updated constantly.

Lesson 4 - Learn the rules of different concepts.

European handicap and Asian handicap is different from the other. You can find a detailed explanation of Asian Handicap. For arbitage players, these can be combined with very good results and including 1x2-bets.

Bet on Totals could be profitable if you learn and calculate in the correct way. For example, it is possible to combine under 2.5 with the under 1.5 and thus obtain a good combination-odds of under 2 or under 2.25. This way you can also arb thoose bets against the over 2 or over 2.25.

Spread betting can be profitable too. Spread bets are frequent in American sports but you can also find spread betting in the european way. You should learn to separate early lines and late lines. For example the starting line and the spread for a NBA-game is -6 and the closing line is -4.5. The market in this case believes in the underdog going from +6 down to +4.5. The early routes, you can find candy (IMO) in the Asian market, U.S. market and betting exchange market. The late lines, you usually have the best odds among the European bookies.

Halftime bets can be very profitable in many ways and also which team to score first or last.

Early Lines. Take advantage to bet with bookmakers use early lines. This way you can always bet on top odds before the line is moving down.
