Main benefits of betting strategies:

• They improve your chances to win;
• They allow newbies to avoid typical mistakes;
• They allow you to take into consideration many outside factors that might influence the course of the game;
• They save you money.

However, finding the right betting strategy is quite challenging. The thing is that we all are different and finding the only effective system that fits your goals is not easy. 

You need to choose the money line, point spread, or total in a match. For example, you have two basketball teams that are going to play against each other. If you bet on one team -7 against the other one and the team wins 28-20, this means you cover the spread and have a winning bet. If the outcome of the game is 28-24, unfortunately, you don’t cover the spread and lose your bet.

Parlay Betting Strategy

It’s another well-known form of sports betting. Inexperienced punters love it most of all as it’s very easy to understand. It’s a way to group single bets into one wager. Due to this, the payout is much bigger as all the odds get multiplied together. However, in this case, all selected teams must win. Such bets are usually tempting as they offer big payouts. If any of the chosen bets in a parlay loses, the entire bet also loses. But if all teams win, you’ll get a good income.

System Betting Strategy

Some punters prefer using this betting system as it also offers numerous benefits. It’s a bet type where you have to choose a few teams, but in such a scenario, there’s no need for all of your chosen teams to actually win. Without further ado, the risk is lower as compared to the previous bet, but unfortunately, the same is for your future profit. However, professional bettors prefer using this strategy with very risky games. Yes, you can make a mistake and predict the outcome of some matches incorrectly, but you still can make some profit thanks to high odds.

The Zig-Zag Theory

This betting strategy originated over 40 years ago thanks to a popular handicapper Tony Salinas. Currently, it’s one of the most popular betting strategies in India. When choosing this theory, you need to place your bets on the team that lost the previous game. In all likelihood, they will recoup themselves in the next game.

Using Home Team Advantage

Although some experts are still thinking that home team advantage is an unreasonable belief, there’s some truth in it. When choosing this sports betting strategy, you need to bet on a team that plays in a home stadium. In this case, they have more chances to win as they are supported by local fans. The effect of the crowd really matters. Plus, any team feels more comfortable when they are playing at home. Home teams don’t travel and don’t physically exhaust themselves before the game.

Reverse Line Movement

This term is widely used in sports betting. In the event you choose this system, you need to keep track of line movement and catch an anomaly where a bookmaker starts moving the line in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, you need to spend your precious time monitoring the line movement and when you finally find a rare occasion, you need to place your bet.

Fixed Betting

In this case, your main task is to bet a fixed amount on absolutely each bet. For example, you want to bet 2000 INR. If you have a 60% probability of winning, this doesn’t mean you lose your balance quickly. In this case, your chances of losing will be relatively slow.

Proportional Betting

When choosing this system, you need to bet only a part of your bankroll. After that, you have to gradually increase your bets (using the same percentage) after each win. To understand how it works, it is better to have a look at the example. Just imagine your bankroll is 10,000 INR and you need to bet 10%. For the first time, you bet 1,000 INR. If your bet is winning, you need to add your winnings and add 10% for your future wager.

Double Chance Betting

When choosing this bet type, you wager on the two possible outcomes of a game out of three. In such a scenario, you have more chances to win, but the odds are usually lower. The main reason why punters choose it is that they have a chance to bet in this market regardless of whether they back favorites or underdogs.

In the event you bet on a football game, you have three outcomes:

• A home team wins;
• Visitors win;
• The match ends with level scores.

But when you choose a double chance bet, you’ll improve the chances of winning by combining two of the three results in a single bet.

Although betting is more about luck, you have to do the utmost to regulate the situation and double your chances to win.
