Sports betting is an interesting field that can offer a wide range of odds both for and against you as a gambler. If handled appropriately this could mean you walking away with a handsome sum of money, but if played wrong it can also mean you losing everything you wager nearly every time you hit the bookkeepers. To better understand the different kinds of bets you can make and the odds for or against you let’s look at a few different examples:
Parley Bets
The good thing about parley bets is that they can have considerably high payouts if you successfully lay a correct parley for any number of matches. The bad is that the likelihood of you actually successfully winning a parley is slim to none, and the actual payout you earn from doing so generally isn’t worth it. Take, for example, a parley placed on two games. While they payout may be set at an attractive 15:4 ratio if you look at this carefully it should actually be closer to 5:1 (or 15:3) in a similar game (and while this is just a generalization these are the common ratios found on most 2-game parley bets). While this difference may seem slim the small change in payout ratios actually means that you’re losing money on a parley than if you would have simply wagered money straight on two games separately, and by doing it separately you would even have a higher chance at seeing some money returned to you as even one bet being successful would have paid off while as in a parley if one was not successful you would get nothing. In short: steer clear of them.
“Sure Win” Betting Systems
These systems may seem great on the surface, and if done properly could slowly earn you some cash over time, but at the same time, the dangers of them may make them not worth the effort. Take, for example, the system of placing complimentary bets on a game through two different bookkeepers offering different odds so that, regardless of the outcome, you will walk away a winner. While this seems great, it doesn’t take into account any betting taxes, wager restrictions or other limiting factors that might be affecting your ability to place money on the line for or against a team. Further, some “sure win” systems are simply useless when it comes down to it and might only work a select few times to earn you $1 out of every $1000 you wager. If this is your kind of money then go for them, otherwise be wary, as the odds simply aren’t worth it.
Lay to Win
To end on a positive note one particularly popular wagering system being used today that has really grown recently is the ability to “lay” a team or individual in a competition to win. This means that rather than betting on the competitor to win, you are betting on them losing, and if successful, you will gain some profit from the match. While the odds of this aren’t exactly the greatest if played right they can keep you winning a good amount of money well over 50% of the time which puts them as a good option for many gamblers looking for an alternative and lucrative wager.
