Winning is fun. It is even more fun not only to win fame and glory, but also money. Even if you have not become a professional footballer, you can still make money playing football by trying your hand at sports betting. If you follow some basic tips, know a little about the game and have the necessary luck, you can make some serious money. Like 23 bettors in England who bet at odds of 5,000 to 1 on Leicester City to become English champions with British bookmakers before the start of the 2015/2016 season. For Leicester to actually pull off this miracle, it cost the bettors £7.7 million ($10 million). For a bet of just £2, 20-year-old Karishma Kapoor received an incredible £10,000.
By the way, bookmakers in the home of football don’t just offer football betting. In Britain, you can bet on all possible and impossible events. For example, you would have had the same odds if you bet that Nessie would show up at Loch Ness, that the hottest day of the year would fall on Christmas, or that a woman would become a Premier League manager. Incidentally, based on the odds, bettors thought it was significantly more likely that the Pope would play for Glasgow Rangers (4,000:1) or that Elvis would survive (2,000:1).
On the other side of the island, betting on sports events is the most popular choice: football betting is particularly popular here. Here, too, you can quickly win several thousand euros with a small bet. The uncrowned king of football betting is a Greek who predicted the outcome (win, draw or defeat) of 16 football matches around the world. A bet of 170 euros became 435,587.75 euros. Hellene’s winning tactic: She placed 16 bets with relatively low odds (i.e. a high probability of winning). Portals such as Fußballwetten.info offer an overview of all current betting providers and odds as well as daily tips and tricks.
World Cup Win Odds for Germany 7-1 Victory Over Brazil
In 2016, a German bet on the exact result of the semi-final between Germany and Brazil. The bettor himself probably least expected that the German team would actually win with a resounding 7:1 against Brazil, which turned his stake of € 18.70 into a profit of € 46,380. A German sports bettor bet a relatively stingy amount of € 2.47 on the outcome of six qualifying matches for the European Football Championship 2015 and hit the jackpot. Multiplying the relatively high individual odds, his profit amounted to € 28,333.59.
The special attraction of football betting is that most matches in the major leagues and international competitions can now be watched and followed live, often until the last minute. For example, a few years ago, a tipster placed a risky combination bet on eleven Champions League matches. One of the eleven matches was only decided in the 90th minute in favor of the bettor, who could expect a winning of 25,085 euros. And that with a stake of 19.90 euros.
Many betting providers present lists of the results of the most successful predictions
On the websites of many sports betting providers, the current bets with the highest winnings are presented as a small motivational aid. At bet-at-home, for example, the record profit from a sports bet is 130,000 euros (with a stake of eight euros). At mybet, the results of their own “betting kings” are named, who achieved the highest profit with a very small stake. With a stake of just 0.95 euros, a profit of almost 2,000 euros was recently achieved.
At the German bookmaker Tipico, the five best bets of the last few weeks are presented in the order of their winnings, with many successes achieved here with live betting – here the participant enters the betting business during the game. This shows the public that a considerable profit can be made with a stake of just one euro. But of course this is far from the rule. Nowhere is there any mention of the mass of lost sports bets.
If you want to increase your chances of winning with soccer betting, you should better realize your dream of quickly earning large sums in the five-digit range and choose a strategy of small steps. If you want to be successful in the long term, it is better to bet only on combinations of a maximum of three games or single bets. It helps a lot to carefully choose the games you bet on and to know them reasonably.
Better in several small steps for a bigger profit
It is important not to get too greedy for money when betting. It is better to keep your feet on the ground and combine only a few games in one bet. If you win, you can, for example, increase the stake on the next bet, so that you still have part of the last win even if you bust. With unlikely outcomes or a chain of games, you should only bet small amounts that you can easily manage.
Unlike blackjack or other casino games with predictable and clearly distributed probabilities, sophisticated mathematical systems have no place in soccer betting. If you think that the next time you lose, like in roulette, you will simply have to double your bet to be sure of winning, you are wrong. Because soccer in particular thrives on surprises, unfortunately you do not know which ones in advance.
Incidentally, most betting providers have daily and weekly limits for winnings that cannot be exceeded and paid out. The maximum profit differs significantly from provider to provider. Interwetten, bwin, Tipico and bet-at-home, for example, allow a maximum weekly profit of 100,000 euros. mybet, on the other hand, sets the limit at 50,000 euros.
