How To Bet

It may seem like a simple and straightforward question: How To Bet?  Nevertheless, it is more complicated than you might think when comes to football betting. This is because most bookmakers, for example BET365 and BWIN offer many options of betting. Certain options have higher chances of winning, while others are almost impossible to win!

I only recommend SINGLE betting and ACCUMULATOR/MULTIPLES betting. I shall explain further:

(1) SINGLE betting means you place a certain amount of stake on ONE match only.  For example, you can bet on the game between Manchester United and Chelsea, you have the choice to choose a Win for Manchester United, a Draw between these two teams, or a Lose for Manchester United. You can place any amount of money, for instance £100 to bet for Manchester United to beat Chelsea, and say the odds is 2.10, for exampls. Therefore, if you win, your profit is £100 x (2.10-1.00)= £110. And thus, you can choose as many games as you wish, and place whatever amount you prefer.

(2) Accumulator/MULTIPLES betting means you have to select at least TWO matches, or maximum 14 matches for BET365. Within MULTIPLES betting you have a few other options, e.g. Trixie (4 bets), Yankee (11 bets), Super Yankee (26 bets), Heinz (57 bets), Super Heinz (120 bets) and Goliath (247 bets), which enables you to get back some of the money you placed. Whereas, for ACCUMULATOR, all your selections have to be correct in order to make a profit.

How to make sure you make profits consistently? The options <Double Chance> and <Asian Handicap> are like “insurance” or back-up, to ensure that you get back the money you bet even if you failed to win. I would rather suggest you browse through the help/glossary sections at BET365 or BWIN in which they have all the details.

During this difficult time, where the world is hit by financial crisis and credit crunch, be thankful when you managed to make a profit of £50 per week! There’s nothing to boast about when your friends lost £200 while you “only” lost £100… A profit of £50 is ALWAYS better than any deficit.

In average, I only make about £2,000 per month and I’m pretty happy with this extra income.
