Betting on sports: how to choose the right strategy

Sports betting should never be considered a source of steady and stable income, because we love sports precisely because they are unpredictable. Despite this, you can do everything in your power to at least minimise the likelihood of losing, and even if luck turns its back on you today, a sober approach to betting will allow you to demonstrate good results in the long run. SpinBetter is ready to give you some valuable recommendations that can help you improve your betting success.

Popular sports for betting

The total number of sports disciplines on which we accept bets is around 60. Obviously, some of them are significantly more popular than others, so it is worth paying a little more attention to them. SpinBetter emphasises that it is impossible to be successful in betting by always betting only on the favourite "on paper" and not taking into account the main nuances of a given sport. Let's take a brief look at these nuances for the leading disciplines.

Football

There is little doubt that football is the most popular sport in terms of viewer interest and sports betting. At SpinBetter, you will find up to 2,500 scheduled football matches at any given time, and we even accept bets on national championships and cups in small countries, as well as on lower divisions, women's and youth competitions in larger countries. The simplest type of football bet is on the outcome (who will win, without specifying the exact score). Fans also like to bet on the total (the total number of goals scored - more or less than a selected number) and the handicap (one of the teams winning by a specified number of goals).

Tennis

Tennis should be considered the most popular individual sport: boxing and MMA also have a significant audience, but there are simply more tennis matches, with something interesting happening literally every day. Since the result depends heavily on a single player rather than an entire team, it is very important to consider each athlete's current form, their preferences in terms of court surface, and their playing style when betting on tennis. SpinBetter customers most often bet on the winner of the match, but it is also possible to predict the exact score and the total number of games - more or less than a certain number.

Volleyball

Volleyball matches are valued by fans for their high dynamism, but at the same time, as in tennis, the winner is determined not by the total number of points scored, but by the number of sets won, which affects the overall duration of the match and the intrigue. In simple terms, until the loss is confirmed, the underdog has a theoretical chance of winning, and this is especially true if the favourite relies on one leader who could suddenly get injured. In addition to betting on the victory of one of the teams, SpinBetter visitors often bet live on the victory in a specific game in order to get a quick win. In addition, in confrontations where the winner is fairly easy to predict, our customers can bet on the total score of the match.

Boxing

Boxing matches are prepared for months, and fans eagerly await the next title fight. As in any other individual sport, it is extremely important to consider the style of each boxer and the opponent's readiness to counter their strengths. However, previous statistics are of minimal value when assessing form in boxing betting, as fights are too infrequent. On our platform, you can try to guess the winner of the fight, predict a knockout victory, or name the number of rounds without specifying the winner.

Cricket

Cricket is considered one of the most dynamically developing sports: its audience is gradually growing even outside countries where this discipline is considered traditional. Although cricket is a team sport, the role of a leader – a good bettor or bowler – is truly enormous here. It is also important to consider the format of the match: there are relatively short T20 matches, longer ODIs, and Tests, which last several days and require a serious long-term strategy. To succeed in cricket betting, you need to analyse the current form of the athletes and the team's strategy. You can place your bet on SpinBetter on a single match (including its fractional parts) or on the tournament as a whole.

Hockey

Hockey is similar to football in general, but it is a slightly more dynamic game because both the puck and the players themselves move a little faster, and therefore the score changes a little more often. Unfortunately, classic ice hockey is not widespread everywhere, as it is traditionally a "northern" game, but NHL matches consistently attract audiences from all over the world. If you want to place a bet on our platform, pay attention to markets such as the outcome (name the winner of the match) and the total number of goals (how many will there be in total from both teams or from one team, more or less than the selected number).

Tips for successful betting

In addition to the obvious advice about placing the “right” bets, SpinBetter has prepared universal recommendations that will definitely be useful to players, regardless of which sport they prefer to predict. Here they are.

  • Divide your bankroll into several bets. Never bet all your money at once — leave yourself the opportunity to win back your losses without having to replenish your balance.
  • Never ignore pre-match statistics. They don’t guarantee anything on their own, but, for example, a football team that consistently concedes 2-3 goals is unlikely to keep a clean sheet today; knowing this, you can seriously consider betting on them to lose or on the total to be over.
  • Bet with a cool head. Hasty bets without in-depth preliminary analysis are not often successful; unless you are betting live, when decisions have to be made urgently, take the time to weigh up all the pros and cons.
  • Study the line. Beginners almost always bet on the outcome of a match, while experienced bettors often choose more specific markets. To come out ahead in the long run, it is more important to find bets with odds that seem unreasonably high than to guess correctly every time.

Conclusion

Luck or misfortune plays a significant role in sports betting, but a lot also depends on the player, their ability to analyse pre-match scenarios and find bets with inflated odds in the SpinBetter line, which will allow them to come out ahead in the long run. Keep in mind that there are no universal strategies: you need to understand the specifics of the sport you plan to bet on. Don’t forget to keep a cool head and manage your bankroll properly, keeping the possibility of winning back your losses open — even if you end up in the red, following these rules will help minimise your losses.
