Yeah thats right, but you cant win money from betting anyway. I mean you can win sometimes, but in most cases you will lose your money.

Why is that though? For example, if I bet on Bayern winning every single Buli game, which they will win 9 out of 10 times if not more, I will lose money from time to time, here and there, but why would I lose money in the end?

Just keep on playing and you will lose them eventually..It's always like this. If you bet rarely its ok, but if you do this all them time, you will always lose more money than you win, guaranteed.

Its not guaranteed to lose on sports and betfair have around 2% of customers who make money.

Betting in casino is guaranteed but sports betting not so clear cut as bookies can get it wrong.

This is safe bet, you can do that, but you won't win much..This is how all amateurs think at the beginning..

Wait, do you have to get the score right to win or just bet on the outcome of a game (win/loss/draw)?

They dont win 9 out of 10 times this season it is about 8 out of 10 but the odds are often below 1.20.

Have seen them around 1.10 and lower.

Bayern have played 30 games, had you stuck a tenner on every game at around average odds of 1.20 you would have lost £60 (6x£10) and and won £48 (24 x £2) so you would be down.

Guessing at average odds, it is probably a bit higher than that but fact remains you wouldnt win much at all. If anything.

There are many ways to bet on a game.. Check the Barcelona-Getafe game for example:

By the way, my sincere apologies to Bojan and the Mods for derailing this thread. Just thought I could get something positive out of every predictable Bayern win in the Buli.

I think I got it. So say I start with $1 each game betting on Bayern winning, based on the average odds 1.20 I would have earned 30 x 0.2 = $6, if they had won all 30 games. But if they lost more than 6 games, I would incur a loss. Did I get that right?

And thank you, Frodo_FCB.

Mate you can bet on all sorts of things, its not just match outcome. For example you can bet on how many corners will happen, how many yellow cards, asian handicap etc.

And betting only works if you find value, u will never make money just backing the favourite.

Exactly. Back in the first half of the season, I'm sure a lot of people made money betting against Dortmund, who were odds-favourites for most of their games even with terrible form.

There is a betting thread someplace, my friend IRL CoutinhoLFC used to put tips up, he's very good and wins alot. Although gets a bit greedy and loses it, but he's won thousands on football.

I've won a fair bit and i enjoy it, infact i probably wouldn't watch much if i didn't bet. I also watch games i wouldn't otherwise, like PSV for example.

I just won money from betting on WWE

What does this mean?

Let's say Bayern to win is @ 2.00 at Bet365 which in percentage means 50%. If you think Bayern has a higher chance of winning, let's say 60% (which is @ 1.67 in odds) then Bayern @ 2.00 becomes value, since bookies odds are higher than your own "calculated" ones. Provided your estimation is better than those of the bookies, you'll win money in the long run.
