In Special Guide 1, we
looked at developing a winning attitude and discipline towards football betting.
In this Special Guide 2, it is all
about getting more bang for your buck and maximizing your profits. You want to be able to squeeze as much profit from the
bookmakers as possible from every carefully placed bet. In every
football matches, there will be vast
differences in prices of the odds.
Sometimes the difference
may be marginal but in occasionally, you could get up to 50% more
simply by
scouring around and finding the best odds on the event you want
to bet on.
One example involves the
Premiership ‘sack race’. If you thought Arsene Wenger would be the
first manager of the 2007/08 season to get the axe, you could back
him at odds of 50/1 with one bookmaker, but 100/1 with another – a
massive 50% difference!
Choosing The Right Bookmaker and
Getting The Best Odds
Online sports betting
market is hugely popular now. There are a lot of online
bookmakers on the market, and it is important to choose the right
one for you.
Take into consideration the bookies you have heard before.
Choose one that is a household name. Check and double-check their
reliability and credibility. Before you open an
account and deposit money, check if someone before you already has had a bad experience
with them.
The growing interest in
internet betting has
made hunting down the best odds for each event a whole lot easier
with the increasing number of online bookmakers springing up.
However, you will be amazed but the
laziness of some punters who cannot even be bothered to
check the various online bookmakers to find the best price, even
with broadband connection!
Stretching The Dollar Further
Another perk of not only browsing
the bookmakers but also opening accounts
with them is that the majority of them offer you a free
sign-up bonus or first deposit bonus which can be as much as £100.
However, it’s not exactly free money
if you're starting to think along that line. If you read their terms
and conditions carefully, the catch is that you cannot withdraw the bonus money without
betting first and in some cases you may need to bet several times
the total value of your
bonus and deposit before being eligible to request a withdrawal.
In other words, you cannot
deposit £100, claim your £50 sign-up bonus and then request a
withdrawal immediately after that.
