										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Mathematically Proven Golf Betting System</strong></h1>
<p>There is no doubt that there is now massive global interest in golf. Just think of the millions of players around the world and huge, money-spinning tournaments for the pros. This is currently one of the most popular sports on Earth. In this article I&#8217;m going to be sharing a proven Golf Betting System.</p>
<p>Many golf fans enjoy adding some extra spice to watching the tournaments by betting on them. Of course, this is similar to other types of sports betting. This means that beating the bookies is incredibly tough. Efficient odds and the unpredictability of the sport mean that most punters lose money time and time again.</p>
<p>Yet, what if you could use a reliable golf betting system? What if there was a way of betting on this sport knowing that you just can’t lose? It sounds too good to be true. But there are services that promise to let you wager on golf with far more confidence.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-27073" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-1024x351.jpg" alt="golf betting system" width="1024" height="351" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-1024x351.jpg 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-300x103.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-768x263.jpg 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1.jpg 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Let’s try and understand how they can do this. We need to look at how golf betting can be carried out in the smartest possible way. How can you turn the tables on the bookmakers and put the odds in your favour at last?</p>
<h2><strong>How Does This Work?</strong></h2>
<p>Despite the huge differences between horse racing and golf, there are betting techniques that can work on both sports. One of the most popular – and profitable – is called <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/each-way-arbing/">each way arbitrage</a>. It is also known as each way arbing. This is a clever betting system that exploits a bookmaker pricing loophole in each way bets.</p>
<p>The bookies pay more for the place than the win-odds imply they should. You can use this approach to find value each way bets.</p>
<p>The starting point with each way value in golf is by backing one of the players. This is done on an each way basis. This means that you will win if they are the overall winner of the event. However, you will also win if they finish in one of the top places, such as second or third.</p>
<p>This means that if your chosen golfer wins the tournament then you win the whole bet. What if they don’t win but finish in one of the places? Then you win the place part of the bet and get a smaller return. If they finish outside the places then you lose your money.</p>
<p>Let’s say that you want to bet on Phil Mickelson at the US Open by using this strategy. You collect on the win element of your main bet if Phil finishes in top place. If he finishes in the places (such as second or third) then you win the place part.</p>
<h2><strong>How Do the Odds Stack Up?</strong></h2>
<p>Right, so we can now see that each way value can work on golf bets. This is great news, but can it win you money? Isn’t it the case that the amount you need to bet on each of these outcomes rules this out? Won’t it wipe out your profits in most situations?</p>
<p>Well, this really depends upon the odds that you can get. To make this work and earn you money, it is crucial that you choose the right bets. The odds need to stack up perfectly to give you value bets. In this case, the bookie’s odds don’t represent the true odds of something happening.</p>
<p>Naturally, this means that each way value isn’t suitable for every golfer in every tournament. Indeed, there are very few situations in which you can make money in this way. Yet, it can be done if you go about it in the right way.</p>
<p>Therefore, the secret is in choosing the right golfer at the right price. You then need to work out the odds and the stakes very carefully in order to maximise your winnings.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, trying to do this on your own and work out the right odds is tough. It could easily turn into a full-time job. It is just too complicated for most people to do without some extra help. This is why most people turn to a Golf betting system. It is in order to improve their chances without too much effort.</p>
<h2><strong>Worked Example</strong></h2>
<p>1) Read the guide on the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/each-way-arbing/">each way loophole here</a>, it will explain the basics.</p>
<p>2) On Tuesday check <a href="https://www.oddschecker.com/golf">Oddschecker golf markets</a> for bets. The reason I say Tuesday is the markets are full of liquidity by then.</p>
<p>3) Run the available players through the <a href="http://eachwaysniper.com/calc1.php">calculator</a>. If any of them show green figure then they are a selection.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-27088" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/oddschecker-golf-betting-system-1024x365.png" alt="oddschecker golf betting system" width="1024" height="365" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/oddschecker-golf-betting-system-1024x365.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/oddschecker-golf-betting-system-300x107.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/oddschecker-golf-betting-system-768x274.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Always check the Oddschecker selections marked in bold as they are top price.</p>
<p>Enter the odds in to the <a href="http://eachwaysniper.com/calc1.php">Each Way Calculator</a>.</p>
<p>Bookmaker stake: £10<br />
Bookmaker win bet odds: 101 (Eddie Pepperell)<br />
Betfair Win Lay Odds: 110<br />
Bookmaker place payout: 4 (for 1/4 odds enter 4, 1/5 odds enter 5)<br />
Betfair Place Lay Odds: 21<br />
Betfair Commission: 5%. Enter 0 if using the value system.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27090" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system-calculator-1024x692.png" alt="golf betting system calculator" width="734" height="496" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system-calculator-1024x692.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system-calculator-300x203.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system-calculator-768x519.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system-calculator.png 1694w" sizes="(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the image above, the bookmakers win odds are lower than the Betfair lay odds. However the place odds are higher than the Betfair lay odds by a fair margin. Due to the bookies place odds being connected to the win odds (1/4 odds in the example above), you can secure value. The each way bet is beating the very efficient Betfair exchange odds.</p>
<p>4) You have 2 options for placing the bets.</p>
<p>&#8211; You can place a straight Each Way Bet with no lays. This is a value bet. You obviously need to place a large enough sample of these to let winnings &amp; losses balance out and the value come out.</p>
<p>&#8211; You can lay the bets off on Betfair to create an equal profit whatever the outcome. The downside to this is the liability required will be high.</p>
<p>Personally I&#8217;d go with the Each Way Bets with no lay option using small stakes &amp; sensible bank management.</p>
<p>5) If you don&#8217;t want to work the bets out yourself, <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/eachwaysniper/">this software will do it for you. </a></p>
<h2><strong>Using the Calculator</strong></h2>
<p>How can you be sure that your chosen bet is going to pay off? We use the Each Way calculator to find out if the bets have any value.</p>
<p>With this tool you just plug in the figures. Such as the odds and how many places are on offer. You can then see exactly what you stand to win with each potential result.</p>
<p>This is a very simple way of seeing the chances of claiming a good value bet.</p>
<p>The odds might not stack up well enough in your favour. Then you can look for another bet. Repeat the process of plugging in the figures to see whether this option is better for you.</p>
<p>In this way, you can very quickly check out the true chances of winning. You can do this on a large number of bets in little time. If you are looking at the players in a big tournament then you will have lots of options. You will want to be able to work out easily your options.</p>
<h2><strong>What Systems Use This Technique? </strong></h2>
<p>There are some golf betting systems that you can use to make life easier for you. These sites will typically charge you a fee for giving you tips on the latest golf events. Both of these systems are using the same Golf Betting system described in this article to find the selections.</p>
<p>They aren’t all equally impressive or with equally good track records, though. Why is this the case? Do they all use the same each way value approach? If so, then they should all give you similar tips, right?</p>
<p>The truth is that a lot comes down to how they find suitable bets in the first place. Fairly complex calculations are needed to do this. Not everyone does it in the same way. Even a slight difference in how the bets are calculated can end up making a big difference.</p>
<p>It should be pointed out that most golf betting tipsters won’t give you access to a calculator tool. In fact, it is likely that they don’t even tell you how they came to their tips. You might be left thinking that their selections are based purely on their own experience of the sport.</p>
<p>So, what are the most reliable systems for betting on golf just now? The following are a couple of tipsters that you might be interested in taking a look at.</p>
<h2><strong>Golf Betting Expert</strong></h2>
<p>This highly-rated golf tipster is part of the popular <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-gods-review/">Betting Gods platform</a>. The man behind it is Craig. He has been on the site since the start of 2016. His impressive track record includes big wins at odds of up to 125/1.</p>
<p>If you sign up here then you will get around 30 to 40 tips every month. However, they are all gathered together in convenient weekly emails. These are sent to you on Tuesday mornings. This should make it easier for you. You can work out how to go through them in a way that suits you.</p>
<p>The total profit produced since January 2016 is listed as £7,991.40. This works out as a monthly profit of £266.38. The strike rate is listed as 28.98% and the bank growth as a decent 159.83%. The average odds on Golf Betting Expert are stated on the site as 99.00.</p>
<p>The monthly cost for this service is £50. Although the first 10 days only cost £1. If you choose to pay for a quarter then this is £100. The annual fee is £350. As is normal with Betting Gods, you get a 30 day trial period with a money back guarantee.</p>
<p>Reviews of this golf betting service are generally positive. A lot of people have made good profits off it.</p>
<p>How do they find their selections? Using the Each Way value strategy described in this post. Don&#8217;t believe me? Take a trial and you will see!</p>
<h2><strong>Betting Bias</strong></h2>
<p>The Betting Bias site was founded by Simon Miller and has been around since 2010. Their stated aim is to educate punters so that they can bet more effectively.</p>
<p>Regular tips are given on this site, covering a variety of sports. As well as golf, they cover football, horse racing and other sports. Their range of free tips gives some decent insights into the upcoming tournaments and who might win them.</p>
<p>They have enjoyed some really big wins in recent times. Such as their tip Smylie Kaufman winning the Shriners Open at an impressive price of 250/1. They have also had their fair share of losers but overall the reviews for this service are favourable.</p>
<p>You can simply read through their site to pick up their free tips. It is also good to see that you can check out their tips archive on there too. That lets you see very easily how much success they have had in the past.</p>
<p>As with most free tipster services, what they offer is a bit more limited than with paid services. Yet, their good track record means that this is a site that it is worth taking into account. If you are just starting out and want some free golf tips this is a decent place to begin.</p>
<p>Even if you get your golf tips in another way, this site has some good reading material on it. Do you just love reading about golf? Then you will find interesting new articles posted on here regularly.</p>
<p>How do they find their selections? Using the Each Way value strategy described in this post. Don&#8217;t believe me? Take a trial and you will see!</p>
<h2>Why Use a System Like This?</h2>
<p>To put it simply, each way value on golf bets gives you the best possible chance. It is a way of winning money from the bookies. You are using a proven mathematical approach to give yourself an unfair advantage when betting.</p>
<p>If you just want to win as much money as possible this is a smart way of doing so.</p>
<p>Having said that, what if your main attraction is the thrill of betting? The good news is that this is still something you can enjoy. It can add a real spark of interest when you are watching golfing tournaments. Whether you are watching the television or just following the results, you can enjoy the action more.</p>
<p>When the first ball is hit you will have no idea what happens next. Which of the different possible outcomes is going to come to pass? Will your chosen player play great golf and win the event?</p>
<p>Perhaps they will do well and finish in the top places? Otherwise, they might have a poor time of it and finish further down the leaderboard.</p>
<p>Each of these outcomes will give you a different return. Therefore, you will be cheering for the result that makes you most money. In the majority of cases, the final result won’t be known until late into the final day. Most likely after a lot of twists and turns.</p>
<p>There is no reason why you can&#8217;t be on several different selections to improve your chances of winning.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I Use This Golf Betting System?</strong></h2>
<p>Both of these golf betting sites use the same mathematically based loophole that we looked at earlier. They are both rated highly. But what if you want to exploit each way value on golf without them?</p>
<p>I have already looked at <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/each-way-arbing/">each way arbing</a> before. This is the exact same system that these sites use to provide their tips. In that article, I explain exactly how you can work out the odds to make smarter bets.</p>
<p>The principles for each way betting on golf are the same as they are for horse racing. You can see exactly how to work out the chances of winning here. This means that there is no need to pay an expensive monthly fee for a golf betting system.</p>
<p>My software lets you work out exactly how much you stand to earn from each bet.</p>
<h2><strong>Golf Betting System Conclusion<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve given you a very simple but highly effective Golf Betting system that really works. Providing you are prepared to see through enough bets, this will bring in good profits overall.</p>
<p>The only reason it works is because of the each way betting loophole. The bookies pay more for the place than the win-odds imply they should.This allows you to secure value bets.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>How To Make Money Gambling</h1>
<p>A lot of people bet on various sports with the hope of making money. It’s not hard to understand why. Watching and reading about sports all day, placing wagers and collecting the cash seems like a dream scenario. It’s the good life. Lets discuss how to make money gambling.</p>
<p>The harsh reality shows that <strong>winning consistently from betting is something very few people achieve.</strong> As the saying goes “a hard way to make easy money”. The reason is simple – the bookies have a huge advantage.</p>
<p>They have all the data at their disposal and a ton of tools to analyze it. On top of that, they also hire a bunch of traders whose sole purpose is to make sure the house is always ahead. As a result, it’s close to impossible to be a long-term winner if you try to predict how the games will end.</p>
<p>Unless you are a maths genius or you have some kind of an internal source of information that the bookies don’t, you will be losing money.</p>
<h2>The Solution?</h2>
<p>The most obvious solution would be to avoid gambling or at least stick to having fun with it. In fact, that’s not a bad choice, but I have one that’s much better – <strong>matched betting. It’s more or less the only way for the average Joe to beat the bookies.</strong></p>
<h2>Matched betting in a nutshell</h2>
<p>It’s not based on trying to defeat them in their own game and picking winners on a regular basis. It actually doesn’t depend on the outcomes of the games most of the time. <strong>It’s all about maths.</strong></p>
<p>For those of you that don’t have an idea what matched betting is, let me elaborate on that. The bookies are in a never-ending battle for customers. One of their weapons are free bets and promotions. They give those to new players that have just joined and sometimes, to existing customers under certain circumstances.</p>
<p>This creates opportunities <strong>to make some money without any risks. </strong>You will simply use the free bets/bonuses of the bookies to back a certain team or player to win a game. Then, you will lay the same team or player on a betting exchange such as Betfair. Since lay basically means to bet against that outcome, you will have covered all the possible scenarios.</p>
<p>With the proper calculations and thanks to the free money from the sportsbook, you <strong>will be ahead whatever happens. </strong>This is called bonus arbitrage and is the base of matched betting.</p>
<p>In this article, I will go through the most popular matched betting opportunities you will find online. At the end of it, you will certainly understand why this is the best way to make money gambling.</p>
<h2>The Most Popular Matched Betting Techniques</h2>
<p>Let’s go ahead and explore them:</p>
<h3>Sports betting new account offers</h3>
<p>Using the bookie welcome promos is by far the most popular type of matched betting for a couple of reasons. First of all, pretty much <strong>any sportsbook out there has a free wager waiting for you</strong>. Also, the whole process is pretty straightforward.</p>
<p>The first thing you would need to do is join the bookmaker and complete your first deposit. Usually, you will have to place a qualifying bet to get the free wager first. This is the first important step of the system.</p>
<p>Since you don’t want to risk the stake of the qualifying bet, you cover it by using an exchange to lay the outcome you backed at the bookie. As a result, you will get about 90-95% of the money staked back (depending on the odds), but gain a free bet of the same value.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26442 size-full" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Free-bet-£50.jpg" alt="make money gambling with free bets" width="1022" height="339" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Free-bet-£50.jpg 1022w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Free-bet-£50-300x100.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Free-bet-£50-768x255.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px" /></p>
<p>The next step would be to use the free wagers. Once again, you will back a certain outcome using them. At the same time, you have to lay them in Betfair or another exchange. After the game is complete, you will simply <strong>collect your profit without caring about the result.</strong></p>
<p>Let’s go through an example from start to finish, in case you are not certain how it works:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Step 1: </strong>you open a new account at the bookie X. You complete a deposit of £10;</li>
<li><strong>Step 2:</strong> the sportsbook requires you to place a wager of £10 to qualify for a free bet of the same value. So, you back Everton to beat Southampton at home at odds of 2.00. At the same time, you go to Betfair and lay an Everton win which is essentially backing Southampton to win or draw the match. The price is 2.10 and there’s a commission of 5%. This means you have to lay £9.76 with a liability of £10.74 so you get the same result in all scenarios;</li>
<li><strong>Step 3:</strong> the match is over and whatever happened, you lost £0.74 from your wagers, but gained a free bet worth £10;</li>
<li><strong>Step 4:</strong> you place the free bet on another match with the same odds or 4.00 for a home win. You lay the same outcome at a betting exchange at odds of 4.10 once again. Since the free bet stake is not returned, you have to lay £7.41 with a liability of £22.97. This will bring you £7.04 whatever happens.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, you won £7.04 (profit from the free bet) – £0.74 (loss from the qualifying bet) or £6.30 with an investment of £10. The actual amount seems small, but you can get larger free bets and you can get tons of offers by different bookies. Once you take full advantage of each, you will collect a healthy profit.</p>

<h2>Casino and bingo new accounts offers</h2>
<p>Making money in an online casino or a bingo room is even harder than from sports betting. In fact, it’s impossible. If you go the standard route, that is. Matched betting works here too for pretty much the same reasons it does in bookies.</p>
<p>The casino and bingo rooms will offer you some juicy bonuses to join them. They are designed to lure players and often contain no value whatsoever. However, some of them can actually bring you some good money. It’s not entirely risk-free, as in sports betting but you will get a huge positive expected value and can protect it with the proper manager.</p>
<p>However, I will start by explaining how the maths work. Each time you join a casino/bingo room, you can get a new player bonus. This offer always comes with some strings attached, most notably, the so-called “wagering requirements”. You will have to place a certain amount of bets before unlocking your bonus money for a withdrawal.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26342 size-full" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Paddypowercasinobonus.jpg" alt="Make money gambling with Paddy Power casino bonus" width="630" height="292" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Paddypowercasinobonus.jpg 630w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Paddypowercasinobonus-300x139.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></p>
<p>Most promotions are designed for you to lose your bonus and sometimes even more money before you actually clear the wagering requirements. However, that’s not always the case and the games you pick make a large difference.</p>
<p>The trick is to find a game with Return to Player or RTP that is high enough for the bonus to be profitable. This metric show what percentage of the bets are returned as prizes.</p>
<p>The best way to show you how the whole process work is to give an example:</p>
<p>Let’s say you join a casino that matches your first deposit of £100 with a bonus of the same value. You have to the bonus 25 times prior to withdrawal. A simple calculation shows this equals placing bets worth £100*25=£2,500. You find a slot game with an RTP of 97% that can be used to clear the wagering requirements. So, after betting the whole amount, you will have a return of £2,500*0.03=£75.</p>
<p>This means you are expected to lose £75 of your bonus, but you can withdraw the other £25. With an investment of £100, that’s a healthy return. The same logic applies to bingo bonuses too.</p>
<p>The crucial factor <strong>in this type of matched betting is to have a solid bankroll. </strong>Unlike sports betting, you are working with positive expected value here and not fixed profits that don’t depend on the outcome. As a result, you need to bet just a fraction of your bankroll so you don’t get busted before completing the wagering requirements.</p>
<p>Also, there’s a certain risk that you won’t get the exact expected result because of variance. You might lose money sometimes, but you could also win way more than anticipated in other situations. The key in the strategy is that <strong>in the long run, it all evens out and you will get your profits.</strong></p>

<h2>Free bet clubs</h2>
<p>Some bookmakers like SkyBet and Coral, for example, are eager to not only attract players but make sure they are consistently using their services. This is why they have weekly free bet clubs. It’s a promotion that allows you to earn a free bet each week, if you meet certain criteria.</p>
<p>This creates an opportunity to <strong>use matched betting to make risk-free money on a weekly basis. </strong>You approach would be similar to welcome bonuses, but usually the value is a bit lower.</p>
<p>For example, SkyBet offers a free bet worth £5 if you place £25 in wagers each week. You should do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Place a £25 bet on SkyBet backing a certain outcome and lay the same outcome on a betting exchange. You are expected to lose somewhere between £0.5-1.00 depending on the odds, but you will gain a free bet worth £5;</li>
<li>Use the free bet to once again back an outcome and lay it on a betting exchange. You should receive about £3 whatever happens.</li>
</ul>
<p>The estimated profit is about £2.5-3.00 each week, no risk involved. It sounds like peanuts, but you could get a couple of more similar offers and <strong>make money literary out of nothing every single week.</strong></p>
<p>Furthermore, sometimes you can combine the weekly free bets with other promotions. This could boost your profits even further.</p>
<h2>Refund offers</h2>
<p>Another type of promotion that you will often find in most bookmakers are the refund offers. The sportsbooks often launch various of refund opportunities. They all work in a similar fashion. You place a bet and if it loses, you can get it back under certain terms.</p>
<p>A good example of such a promotion would be the bore draw 0:0 refund you can find at Bet365 and other popular operators. As the name suggests, you can place a wager on a certain football match. If the end score is 0:0, you will get your money back.</p>
<p>This is a solid opportunity for matched betting, as you can once again <strong>secure profit without taking any risks. </strong>Let me explain how matched betting works with refund offers by using the already mentioned 0:0 promo.</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do is find a correct score market different from 0:0 where the odds of the bookmaker and those available at the betting exchange are close enough. You back the result in the bookie and lay on the exchange. Then, you proceed to also lay 0:0 on the betting exchange. If you use the proper wager sizes, you will be collecting winnings every time.</p>
<p>There are many different refund offers available, but they all work in a similar way. You have to back in the bookie and lay on Betfair to create a win-win situation for yourself. The key is to find decent odds and place the correct amounts. You can use various online calculators to do so.</p>

<h2>Each way arbitrage</h2>
<p>Horse racing is one of the sports that attract a lot of attention and money. Naturally, this leads to matched betting opportunities. One of the best systems is the each way arbitrage. This is a sure fire way to make money gambling.</p>
<p>For a start, I will explain what each way is for those of you who don’t know this market. It combines two separate stakes. The first one backs a horse to win the race you picked. The second one backs the same horse to place or finish in the first 2-5 positions. The exact number depends on the contestants in this particular event.</p>
<p>The “win” part of you wager is only successful if the horse is first and loses in all other cases. The “place” part wins if the horse is the first couple of positions. For example, for smaller races, this would mean first or second.</p>
<p>So, this how each way works. Let’s see how to make some money out of this market. The key to each way arbitrages lies in the fact that Betfair has two separate markets for the two parts of the market. Unlike the bookies, on the betting exchange you will have to place one bet on the win market and one on the place market.</p>
<p>Often, the price on the second is way lower on Betfair. As a result, you can cover all options and <strong>claim profits without taking any risks whatsoever. </strong>Still, there is some work to do before that.</p>
<p>For a start, you have to find suitable races. Most of the time, the best option is to pick events with 1 or 2 heavy favorites. You will note that the bookies have much higher odds than Betfair on the place market for such events. The fastest way to compare the prices and find the best one would be to use an odds comparison website such as oddscheker.com.</p>
<p>Your main goal would be to check the underdogs and find similar win prices for them in the bookie and on Betfair. If that’s the case and the “place” odds are much lower, you’ve got a winner. Simply back the horse using the each way market of the bookie and lay both the win and place on Betfair. You don’t even need to watch the races.</p>
<h3>Calculating the “place” odds of the bookie</h3>
<p>Since the bookies don’t offer a separated view of the two parts of the each way market, you will have to learn how to calculate the “place” odds yourself. You can use the following formula:</p>
<p><strong>((Bookmaker “Win” odds &#8211; 1) * Bookmaker “Place” Payout) + 1 = Place odds</strong></p>
<p>Remember, this is the price you have to compare to the lay option on Betfair. It has to be higher for the system to work.</p>

<h2>Accumulator bookie offers</h2>
<p>You’ve probably seen the many accumulator offers by the bookies. They will give you your stake back if only one game loses. The main point of the operators is to make a ton of money, as the accumulators are probably the worst from the players’ perspective. The actual margin of the house is insane.</p>
<p>However, <strong>you don’t really care about that if you go the matched betting route.</strong> For this purpose, you have to select the proper accumulator promotions. The selection of the multiple should not start at the same time and there must be at least 2 and a half hours difference in the kick off time for football. For different sports, make that 40-50 minutes between the end of one of the selection and the start of the next one.</p>
<p>When you find an accumulator offer that covers that, place your wager at the bookmaker. It’s now time to start laying the selections one by one on Betfair or another betting exchange. At this point, you are laying against your initial back stake.</p>
<p>Once a selection loses, you should continue laying the next games one by one. This time, you are playing against the refund. When you hit the second losing leg of the accumulator, the arbitrage is complete and the profit will be there.</p>
<p><strong>The overall expected profit with this strategy is about 20% of your investment.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>What is the best sports betting strategy?</h1>
<p>Everyone who gambles would love to make money from it. Yet, you probably already realise that this isn’t easy to do. If it was then the bookmakers would lose far more than they earn. Every punter wants to know what the best sports betting strategy is!</p>
<p>Many punters lose money to the bookies day after day and year after year. This is simply because the odds are stacked against them. Betting is a zero sum game and the bookmaker’s house edge makes life even more difficult.</p>
<p>However, that doesn’t mean that betting and winning is impossible. It is all about knowing how to do it as smartly you can. To do that, you need a strategy that has been proven to work.</p>
<p>Many people have already discovered the best sports betting strategy. What difference could it make to your life? Take a look at how easy it could be to make money every time that you place a bet.</p>
<h2><strong>Best Sports Betting Strategy – Use the Bookie’s Money</strong></h2>
<p>Using other people’s money is a common approach in business. Why risk your cash when someone is there to do it? Well, the same sort of theory can also be applied to betting.</p>
<p>In this case, who is the person that will help you out? The very same bookie that wants to take your money off you. It sounds incredible at first, but you can effectively gamble for free.</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean that there is anything illegal or shady, though. Instead, this is just a safe and completely legal way of cutting the risk out of gambling. After all, if it isn’t your money then you can’t lose, can you?</p>
<p>Using the bookie’s money instead of your own is a clever move. In this you can’t ever lose your own money. So, how do you get started?</p>
<p>This is easier done than you might think. First of all, you need to understand the basics of matched betting.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is Matched Betting?</strong></h2>
<p>There are a few different ways to approach matched betting. Generally speaking, each of these methods involves finding a bet that you can’t lose money on. It is about covering all possibilities to take the risk out of gambling.</p>
<p>It sounds impossible, right? Surely, betting is by its very nature risky. If you were to try and take out this risk then what would you be left with?</p>
<p>Thankfully, this is a real, popular strategy that many punters have benefited from. You too can win money with no risk. There is no reason to wait any longer to get started on matched betting.</p>
<p>So, how does it work in real life? For instance, what if you could find a race in which you can cover all possibilities and still win? This sounds crazy but it really works.</p>
<p>To do this well you need to find the right event with the right prices. Clearly, one bookie isn’t going to offer you odds that guarantee a win. Each bookmaker will work out their prices to ensure that no-one can do this.</p>
<h3>It&#8217;s a loophole!</h3>
<p>Yet, this is where the loophole at the heart of matched betting comes into play. Each bookie has different odds in any event. Sometimes those odds fall into place perfectly for you to win easily.</p>
<p>Therefore, you need to compare the odds at different bookmakers. This means that you can pick the best prices for different outcomes. By checking out a number of sites you can get odds that make this bet a sure-fire winner before the race even starts.</p>
<p><a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/profitmaximiser/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26271 size-large" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/matchedbettingsoftware-1024x413.jpg" alt="Matched Betting Software" width="1024" height="413" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/matchedbettingsoftware-1024x413.jpg 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/matchedbettingsoftware-300x121.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/matchedbettingsoftware-768x310.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p>In the simplest sense, this means covering all possible results. So, if there is one horse that you think will win you don’t just bet on this happening. You also bet on it not winning as well.</p>
<p>Of course, the odds have to make sense. If you are going to place a number of bets then getting the maths right is hugely important. In some cases, you might place a main bet and a lay bet to ensure a profit.</p>
<p>After that, there are some fairly complicated strategies that you can use to cover different situations. However, the basic premise is always that you make a bet you can’t lose on. No matter what happens you win more than you wager.</p>
<p><a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-profit/">I&#8217;ve written a detailed post about Matched Betting and how to get started</a>.</p>
<h2><strong>Not Just for Horse Racing </strong></h2>
<p>As this is the best sports betting strategy it isn’t just for horse racing. In fact, you could apply the matched betting approach to just about any sport. As long as you can bet on all possible outcomes at the right price then it works.</p>
<p>This becomes more obvious if we look at the example of football. It should be even easier to win than it is with horse racing. After all, there are only three possible outcomes. Either one of the teams wins or it is a draw.</p>
<p>The same principles apply as with horse racing. You need to find matches in which you can cover all possible results and still win.</p>
<p>Whether Chelsea are playing Everton or PSG are playing Barcelona it doesn’t matter. You are taking the unpredictability out of the sport by covering all of the bases. You won’t be left hanging on breathlessly in the 89<sup>th</sup> minute to see if you win or not.</p>
<p>This might seem unlikely at first. If one team is more highly rated than the other then it stands to reason that they will be at much shorter odds. Even with closely matched teams it seems unlikely that the bookies will get the figures wrong. Doesn’t it?</p>
<h3>Use maths to help you win</h3>
<p>Well, once again smart maths will help you to win in this way. The sports betting market is very competitive and bookies often offer tempting prices. With the right price for each outcome you can be sure of winning.</p>
<p>Let’s go back and look at the example of Chelsea vs. Everton from earlier. Some bookies might have Chelsea as clear favourites. Yet, what is just one of them has a special deal on the London team winning?</p>
<p>With lay bets it becomes even easier than betting on every possible outcome. Instead of betting on Chelsea, Everton or a draw you start off with just one of them.</p>
<p>So, you place your main bet as Chelsea winning. After doing that, the lay bet simply has be on Chelsea not winning. It is clear that one of these bets is going to pay out.</p>
<p>The key is in finding the odds that make this a worthwhile bet. The odds on both outcomes have to be in your favour. Opportunities like this are relatively few and far between but they do exist.</p>
<p>This same betting strategy can also be used for other sports. Whether you want to bet on tennis, basketball or any other sport, you can always win from now on.</p>
<p>If you are open to betting on different sports then you will have more options to choose from. Don’t forget that you don’t need to be an expert in the sport at all.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Use Bonus Offers</strong></h2>
<p>So far, we have seen that matched betting can be a great way of taking advantage of odds that work in your favour. The best is yet to come, though.</p>
<p>You see, the odds will only be stacked in your favour in a certain number of sporting events. Betting on every possible outcome and making a profit simply isn’t possible in most cases. The bookies only let a few opportunities like this slip through.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there is another reason why this is the best sports betting strategy. This is the fact that you can use bookmaker bonus offers too.</p>
<p>In this way, we go back to what we said at the beginning about using the bookie’s money. By using free bets and other offers you will find it far easier to win every time that you gamble.</p>
<p>For example, if you are given a free bet from one bookie then you could place it on a certain horse winning. You then place a lay bet on the opposite happening. Because you are using less of your own money it is easier to get the numbers to stack up.</p>
<p>Let’s say that the free bet is for £10 and so is your lay bet. You are betting £20 but only half of it is your money. It is far easier find a combination of bets that will give you back more than £10 than one that pays over £20.</p>
<h3>Why do Bookies offer deals like this?</h3>
<p>So why do bookies still offer deals like this? Don’t they know that people are taking money off them so easily? Surely they should be looking to stop this happening.</p>
<p>Firstly, they know that most punters won’t use their free bets wisely. The majority will place a bet in the traditional way and probably lose the free money. If these free bets lost them too much money you can be sure that they would do something about it.</p>
<p>Secondly, this is a hugely competitive market these days. There are plenty of different bookies around and they all want you to bet with them. Offering incentives helps them to retain more customers.</p>
<p>The number of bookies means that you are spoiled for choice when it comes to offers. As well as free bets for new players, there are also bonuses for regular gamblers as well as other promotions.</p>
<p>By using this free money wisely you can make sure that you win on every bet that you place.</p>
<p>It is worth pointing out that this method isn’t just restricted to sports betting. Online casinos and bingo sites are other places where you can use special offers to make money with no risk.</p>
<h2><strong>The Need for the Right Software</strong></h2>
<p>As we have seen, making the right bets comes down to maths rather than any knowledge of the sport. Does this mean that you need to be a maths genius to win with matched betting? Perhaps you imagine having to spend all day with a calculator or a slide ruler?</p>
<p>The good news is that you don’t need to work out the figures on your own. You can let some software do this for you, instead. Of course, it needs to be the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/profitmaximiser/">right software if you want to win every time</a>.</p>
<p>So what should you be looking for? For a start, you need something that makes life easier for you rather than complicating it. This means that you want software that it is easy to use from day one.</p>
<p>Ideally, you will also see a good range of bets from a wide number of bookies. The more options you can see then the more you can win. You should also expect it to be clearly explained how much you can win depending upon the amount of your bet.</p>
<p>This type of sports betting strategy depends upon making the right amount of bet in each case. If you get this wrong then it could turn into a losing bet rather than a guaranteed winner.</p>
<p>Good matched betting software will make it easy for you to find the right bets. It will then guide you smoothly through the whole process. In this way, you can start making money even if you have never gambled before in your life.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Get Started</strong></h2>
<p>By now we have seen why matched betting is the best spots betting strategy. This is a terrific way of winning money with no risk.</p>
<p>We have also seen that using the right kind of betting software is crucial. Yet, with a number of options around you may wonder how best to get started. What if you have never placed a bet before and want to get started easily?</p>
<p>This isn’t as unusual a situation as you might think. Many people who have never considered gambling are keen to do so once they find out about matched betting.</p>
<p>The fact that you can use software to make life easier is a great start. Therefore, it all comes down to making the right choice of tool to find and make your risk-free bets.</p>
<p>Bearing all of this in mind, a terrific option for first-timers is <a href="http://www.bonusbagging.co.uk/">Bonus Bagging</a>. This site makes it incredibly simple for anyone to make their first moves in matched betting. It makes the whole process smooth and extremely easy to understand.</p>
<p>You will soon be placing your very first bets and making a profit from them. If you have any fears about how this strategy could work then Bonus Bagging will soon put them to rest. Everything is laid out in layman’s terms and it all makes perfect sense.</p>
<p>The loophole in bookmakers’ prices that matched betting exploits is perfectly explained here. You might have some doubts at the start. These will soon disappear once you collect your first winnings.</p>
<p>After this, you can carry on making money with very little effort. This is the perfect choice if you aren’t sure how to get started. Even if you know nothing about gambling you will feel right at home.</p>
<h2><strong>Carry On Winning with the Best Sports Betting Strategy</strong></h2>
<p>The other situation to take into account is that of someone who has some experience of betting. Maybe you have had a degree of success. Or possibly you are one of the many punters who have lost money to the bookies over the years.</p>
<p>In either case, you can start to make money very easily with matched betting. The same principles apply but you may feel comfortable with more types of software. If you already have some experience of gambling then you can choose from more options.</p>
<p>A great example of what could suit you is the <a href="https://profitmaximiser.co.uk/">Profit Maximiser</a> software. This is still simple to use from day one. But it is especially good for someone who understands the basics of gambling.</p>
<h3>Profit Maximiser</h3>
<p>You will find a particularly wide range of suitable bets on here. This means that you can take your pick of the perfect offer for you. There is no need to take on every single bet if you don’t want to.</p>
<p>However, the big selection means that there is more chance of big wins. After all, with a guaranteed profit on each one then you will want to take advantage of as many as you can.</p>
<p><a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/profitmaximiser/">Profit Maximiser</a> also opens up more exciting possibilities for you too. Rather than just concentrate on horse racing you can also try other types of sports betting.</p>
<p>Indeed, you can also check out other tempting offers as well. You can find the likes of casino and bingo offers here. The one thing they all have in common is that every bet is risk-free.</p>
<p>If you have bet before then it might take you some time to understand that the days of gambling are over. Matched betting is all about removing this risk element. From now on you can enjoy regular profits with absolutely no risk.</p>
