Spread Betting

Spreading is basically a type of bet where you wager on the outcome of an event where the pay of is based on accuracy rather than just a simple win or lose. You have a range of outcomes and you bet on whether the outcome will be above or below the spread. Amount one million gamblers use this method with varying success.

It was invented back in the 1940s by a math’s teacher from Connecticut. It became popular in the UK in the 1980s.

It works in the following way:

You have a spread of 4 points in a certain game

If you bet on the underdog then you will win if your underdogs score plus the spread us bigger than the favorites score.

Say for example

The final score is Underdog 8, Favorite 10: 8 + 4 > 10, so the gambler wins;

The final score is Underdog 8, Favorite 13: 8 + 4 < 13, so the gambler loses.

However the gambler could bet on his favourite and wins if the favorite's score minus the spread is greater than the underdog's score:

So If:

The final score is Underdog 5, Favorite 10: 10 - 4 > 5, so the gambler wins;

The final score is Underdog 8, Favorite 10: 10 – 4 <. 8, so the gambler loses.

This can be a lot to get your head around and there are lots of websites online with tons of information. It is one of the most popular ways to system bet so is well worth looking into if you want to start using a system to place your bets,

The Things Casinos Don’t Want You To Know

For a start you should always keep in your mind that a casino is a business. It is in their interest to make money so they will want to take your money off of you. This means that they always have the advantage.

The best way to help make the gap in the advantage smaller is to place fewer bets but for bigger money. This means that if you lose the time at the casino will be less but the chances of winner are more.

The reason this works well is that when you do bet you have a better chance of winning high amounts. So for example if you are betting on the toss of a coin. Your chances of winning are 50/50. So if you bet to double you money and you bet £1 then you win £1 back plus your stake. Now imagine that you had bet £100 on that same coin toss. You would be far better off.

So for example at a casino, placing a large bet on one game keeps the advantage of the game to a minimum.

Of course strategies like this don’t work on things like slot machines as these are random however there are plenty of ways to work at beating a casino.

Don’t chase your money because you will only end up losing. If you are having a losing streak then it is tempting to throw away good money after bad chasing your money however this doesn’t work so you should walk away.

The Martingale Betting System

The Martingale Betting System

The Martingale is a popular betting system that is used the world over. In fact amongst betters it is probably the most well known betting system that there is. This system has a good success rate however there is also a chance you could lose, and if you do lose on this system you probably will have lost a large amount of money.

The basics behind the system are bet once and if you lose double you stake, repeat until you win.

So as an example. You decide you want to start with a £10 bet. You place it with a 2.00 odd but you lose. Then the next bet you place would have to be at 2.00 again but your bet amount would be £20. Unfortunately you lose again. Your next bet is at £40 at 2.00 and thankfully this time you win. Your total win is £80. However remember that you have already bet £70 in your 3 bets, so your total profit is £10. Sounds easy enough doesn’t it. However bear in mind that you have to keep doubling until you win. So but your 6th bet you could be risking as much as £320.00

You can adjust this system if the odds are more or less so that you don’t have to bet as much however in general this betting system works best for those that have a lot of money to gamble with and aren’t too worried about how much they lose.

Accumulator Bets

Although this isn’t technically a system, it is a great way of betting very little money and getting big prizes. Although your chances of winning are quite slim if you do win then the amount that you win is far higher than if you just placed a single bet.

You basically place your bet across a number of matches or games. You win if every bet you have placed is correct. So for example:

$3 total bet on

England VS France draws at 3.00

Liverpool VS Manchester United wins at 2.00

Lazio – Inter draw at 3.00

If you get all of these correct that your total win will be $54. Remember that you only bet $3 to start with so you end up a massive $51 in profit. That is a massive return on a very small bet.

What’s even better is that if you don’t win the only amount you have lost is $3!

The downfall of this system is that you are relying on 2 bets being correct. Your chances are lower because even if you are correct on the first 2 bets that you place but incorrect on the last you win nothing.

This system is not unlike any other. Some betters will insist that this is the best type of system that you can use while others will advise you to stay well clear of it. It is probably one of those types of systems that you can only get a real picture of if it suits you if you give it an ago. Remember that you only have to bet a few dollars so you don’t have much to lose.

What Are Betting Systems?

When it comes to betting on any event there are no certainties that you will win. That is exactly why it is called a bet or a gamble. However there is a number of betting systems that professionals use and swear by in order to win.

If you are interested in using a betting system then the best advice I can give you is to do your home work. There are probably hundreds of systems in circulation all of which have varying amounts of success.

What I would say is that you shouldn’t rush your decision. You should make sure that you have read as much information on your chosen betting system as possible. People will have tried it before you and reviewed it so have a read of their opinions and see what they have to say about how well it worked. Remember that you don’t have to try the first system that you come across so have a read through a number of different ones and see what is on offer.

If you find that the first betting system doesn’t work for you then move on and try another. Of course with any of these there are no guarantees but as long as you only bet what you can afford to lose then you shouldn’t have too many worries.

There are lots of resources online so make sure you source as much information on different betting systems as you can before you make your decision on the one(s) that you are going to try.
