Review: Plan for Sports Betting

If you are new to sports betting, you probably want to understand how there are ways to increase your chances of winning. One option is a level plan for the size of bets.

Level plan

Such a plan is one of the aspects of sports betting, its presence will give you the opportunity to improve your level of organization and composure, and this is the key to long-term and stable success.

With a level plan in terms of betting rates, you have a real and quite feasible opportunity not to fall under the authority of the “fire from all guns” method, when you rush from one bet to another, not knowing what to bet on, and are ready to bet on anything from that at least a bit seems to be profitable.

Betting on sports games — this is not such an easy task as it might seem at first glance. And the most difficult here is the ability to make a profit on an ongoing basis, since this requires the presence of additional knowledge, and not just general information about the sport, which most people possess.

Essentially, what sets your regular games on early Saturday morning stakes apart from the actions of any online bettor you know is simply discipline, and the size plan is one of the aspects of this discipline.

The plan for the size of the rates helps to determine how much money you place on your chosen bet. There are three main ways to do this, and today we are going to consider leveled rates. This method is very widely distributed among professionals.

Its key idea is to place each bet with the same amount regardless of the probabilities of winning, regardless of your calculations or anyone’s opinion. If you are on a tiered plan, without thinking you are using all of the probability that bookmakers offer you.

Each of the betting players acts in their own way, but most of the main bettors use exactly the level plan in terms of betting rates, and consider handicap rates for American sports as a good example of the benefits of such a plan.

A quite suitable level of gain for earning on the American handicap (taking into account their rates for the constant decimal probabilities of 1.91) is 55%.

If players on the American handicap can maintain a level of 55% of the win during the year, they remain in the black. If American handicappers fall below this level of winnings, they find themselves in a situation in which they struggle to “float” to a break-even position.

Some people may argue about using a level plan with a flat N — sum bet, making sure that probabilities with 2.50 odds will give you a 2.50 gain. These people are attracted by the possibility of getting a big win, but in reality, it will rather bring you closer to a quick big loss.

Probably for every new player in sports betting the starting point should be a level betting plan. It is easy to use, easy to understand, and it is the safest for your bets. In addition, many will tell you that if you are unable to make a profit on the level plan of bets, it does not make sense to move on to other, more complex plans, since they certainly will not help.

It is a level plan that will help a beginner learn how to make a profit on bets. For example, your level plan can be very useful to you in a situation where you see two bets on the same day that you think will win, or even be overvalued.

So, you have two sports bets.

And you really like them. Both A bet and B bet are rated with odds higher than the whole, but you think that B bet will not reach and be lower than the whole. So, what is the best way out in this situation? Bet more on B bet? No, not if you want to bet reasonably and according to your level plan.

The risk is obvious — you bet the planned amount on bet A, and it wins. Say your bid amount is $10 per plan. But you wanted to increase the amount at the rate of B? Let’s suppose you do it, and make it $25. Bet A won and B lost.

So, you had two bets with good chances to win, and if you acted correctly, your success would be guaranteed. But now it turns out that you yourself led to losing $5, betting on the best bets of the day — and the truth is that people do it often, and, as a rule, not from ignorance, but from greed.

According to the level plan, you would bet $10 on bet A and $10 on bet B. Let’s say that A won by a factor of 2.25. The B bet was lost by odds of 2.10, but due to the difference in the odds that you received — and also due to the fact that you acted reasonably and according to the plan — you ended the day in positive territory.

Of course, this scenario describes the ideal set of circumstances, in practice everything will not come together so good, but this is only one of a million scenarios, and it reliably describes the reliability of the level plan, its ability to help you increase the chances of winning, its ability to preserve and multiply your income from rates.

If you are not particularly friendly with discipline, you need a level betting plan to increase and systematize your knowledge of betting in order to achieve the level of professional betting players.

Plan on the size of bets and its significance

Everyone knows that the vast majority of betting players are struggling frantically trying to make money. And only a small percentage of people manage to use the sports betting markets to their advantage in order to gain profit on a regular basis.

They use various tools to achieve their goals: this is research, and analysis, good bank management, understanding the chances of winning, calculating odds — the list goes on.

We’re talking today about the importance of having a structured rate plan. Closely connected with the management of the bank (in fact, they go hand in hand), the plan on the size of the rates is vital to stop you not only in a situation where you are going to make bets that are not susceptible to your bank, but also when you pick up and carry wave of luck and profit.

Various betting planning techniques

A sufficiently large number of different plans to determine the size of the bets is available for sports bettors. Some of them are incredibly simple, others are quite complex. Some are practically safe, and some will have to seriously take the risk.

Below we describe those that are worth paying attention to.

Unit Stakes

Quite appropriate option to start — is a set of several units. Each unit represents a certain amount, the percentage of your initial balance.

You can determine the number of units that you place at your chosen rate, depending on the level of your confidence in it. The main advantage of this plan, perhaps, is that it is easy to make (unit size does not change), and with an increase in your confidence/chances of winning, you can easily raise the rate itself.

Kelly Criterion

This is suitable for those who have already gained experience in sports betting — Kelly criterion can be very useful in converting your chances into your money. If you know your chances of winning, this plan will be able to convert them into significant amounts of money. It’s simple — the more your chances, the greater your winnings:

Amount at the rate = (Probability of winning in decimal numbers X percent chance of success)/((Probability of winning in decimal numbers X 100) – 100)

The amount at the rate calculated in a similar way is usually quite large, sometimes up to 15% of your bank, but successful bettors simply reduce the results obtained (by 50%, 70%, and some by 90%), this reduces the risks.

Martingale System

Plan, created specifically for roulette (Red/Black bets), in general, is not recommended for us to use, but some people in their experience prove the success of the consistent application of this plan. The idea here is to double the amount of your bet time after time before getting the win.

On paper, this method works very well — in the end, you win and cover all your losses in one fell swoop. However, the risk is growing exponentially from loss to loss. Starting with a $10 bet, it is assumed that at the 6th bet you will receive $640 with the previous 5 losers — and as much as $10,240 at the tenth bet! Probably, such a plan is still to be avoided, but you can try if you have a large enough bank.

RatchetStakingPlan (% strategy of the bank)

This plan is relatively simple and to some extent guarantees you continued success. Why? Because the size of your bet is proportional to the size of your bank. As soon as your bank rises, the size of your rate immediately rises (usually by about 3%). However, if you lose several bets in a row, the size of your bet does not decrease (assuming that due to a decrease you will have to recoup longer).

Find your advantage

All the above examples of plans are designed to help you in making a profit. However, if you cannot determine the winner, none of the plans will do it for you, and there will not be much value in which of the plans you choose. The key task in betting on sports games is an attempt to get as close as possible to the forecasts of the bookmakers.

Choose what suits you

Want some good advice? Evaluate your past bids results in accordance with the methods described above (and not only them). Having done this, you will see which method suits you best, and if it gave you a large number of suitable results, it is likely that in the future it will bring you benefits and, accordingly, profit. But do not forget about ease of use — some of the methods require a lot of manual labor in data entry, and this is not always convenient.

This topic is quite extensive, but once you understand it, you will significantly increase your chances of making significant profits in betting games. Examine in more detail each of the above-mentioned methods, consider the details and the mathematical component — for potential opportunities and disadvantages.

The only key point you need to learn is discipline — always, at any time. And there should not be a single exception to this rule.
