Regarding aid to sports betting, it is now possible to have the following services on specialized sites:
Statistics of the major championships and sport events
Odds Comparators to select the most advantageous
Bet Proposals and/or trends.
Techniques and Methods are often confused concepts but in principle it should be made the following distinction: You can define a method as a combination of several bets on one or many coupons. A technique is rather a strategy, usually aimed at maximizing the frequency or extent of gains, while minimizing risk and therefore the stakes. Thus a technique may involve one or more methods.
Many techniques in sports betting have been proposed, some of which are briefly outlined below. |
|
| 1) Two techniques set up by "WMC-Consultants". |
| |
For the technique T1 of "leverage" , our methods start with the least risky, and organize with patience (small stake of around 10 ) to generate some profits. In other words, the testing of high-risk methods are funded by profits on low-risk positions . We now understand the importance of prior appraisal of risk and performance for each method. The technique T1 is clearly a good financial strategy . At the same time, it is efficient against the risk of addiction . For these two reasons, according to our General Conditions of Sales, all our customers should experience this technique .
With the technique T2 of "coverage" , we have some second chance to recover our stake, or to a make a return of less importance in case of failure of the first chance. When the risk becomes significant (ex: R> 5), we apply this technique.
As can be seen, the two techniques built by "WMC-Consultants" are based on rules of security. Therefore, they carry the seeds of success in the medium term , since they are implemented faithfully following our suggestions and recommendations. Thus, our customers have keys to move towards the minority who wins very often. |

| 2) An affordable but little efficient technique : the stake reducers. |
| |
With this technique, we can expect big gains while maintaining a reasonable stake. It consists of coupons with a high number of games . From the possibilities theoretically covered, we retain a certain proportion accepting 1 or 2 errors, which can reduce costs significantly. As an example, a coupon of 14 games with 7 doubles and 7 fixed will cost 128 . In accepting 1 error (or a guarantee of having up to 13 good results if the initial analysis is correct) we will have to pay only 16 .
Note: This technique is integrated in many software on the market but its profitability is very difficult to assess . Because of the reduction in the number of possibilities, the financial risk is reduced but the probability of occurrence are also lower. The resulting performance is fairly low. |
|
|
| 3) An efficient but little profitable (unless very high stakes are engaged) technique : The sure bet. |
| |
When the odds offered on a game by the Bookmakers are quite different, and that the following formula is true:
1 / Odds 1 (Bookmaker A) + 1 / Odds N (Bookamer B) + 1 / Odds 2 (Bookmaker C) <1
It is then possible to win for sure.
Consider an example with 2 Bookmakers (A) and (B), a game such as: England (1) against Spain (2) and the following odds for 1 / N / 2 :
Bookmaker (A) : 1,9 / 3,1 / 4,2
Bookmaker (B) : 1,6 / 3,4 / 6
The surebet calculation is : 1 / 1, 9 + 1 / 3, 4 + 1 / 6 = 0.987 <1
So you win 100 for a stake of 98.7 (Betting 52.63 on (A), 29.41 on (B), and 16.66 on (B)) having a benefit of 1.3 .
Disadvantages: the corresponding gains are significant only if you can spend very large sums . Notice that Sure Bets are not very frequent, because the Bookmakers regularly monitor and adjust the odds. Some sites specialize in the detection of sure bets, but they must take their margins for services rendered, which further reduces the potential gains. |
|
|
| 4) A profitable technique but very difficult to work out : the Value bet. |
| |
This technique is based on the ability to detect errors made by some bookmakers in assessing the odds , which would underestimate the probability of an outcome. Specifically, you must have elements that lead to consider a given team to lose.
For this reason, we must go beyond the classical analysis made by ordinary people and consequently by the Bookmakers. This analysis is based on the classic criteria (rank, form, compared home / away and attack / defense reports).
Disadvantage: Therefore making a right Bet value, is the ability to circumvent the difficulty of anticipating a surprise . Taking in consideration the criteria of rank 2 (fighting to win the championship, play-off,...) becomes necessary. In some cases, taking into account the criteria of rank 3 (injured players, ....) can be very useful. |
|
|
| 5) A very dangerous technique : the martingale . |
| |
Created for casino players, the martingale consists of gradually increase the after a lost bet, to cover up all previous losses and make a profit in the first gamble. Once the expected profit achieved, it takes the strategy initially.
Disadvantage: This technique involves a very high risk for addiction. It is much too dangerous and we strongly do not recommend it. |
|
|
| 6) A false technique. |
| |
Many techniques and / or methods are published free on the internet in order supposedly to help sports betting amateurs. Unfortunately, they are often riddled with errors. One of them is called the method 6 by 9 " for which profitability is assured by betting regularly on the 6 most interesting possibilities among 9 of a game. The problem is that the probability calculations are not taken into account properly, and it is assumed equally probability outcomes. This is totally false and will inevitably lead the unwary amateur to financial losses. |
|
|
| 7) A technique which is not one. |
| |
A confused situation pointed out by WMC-Consultants to the Internet covers the following situation: It is possible to find on the web, the proposal of tips on a "handicap" type bet for a cost of 250 , announced as refunded back in case of failure. Obviously, it is necessary to make a stake of at least 250 to cover the tip cost, without any real guarantee. From probability laws and statistical observation, WMC Consultants has established that the success rate would be 50% in this case in clear contradiction with the 70% often announced. |
