Sure Favs – New Review

3rd May 2022

We are starting a new review today of a betting service called Sure Favs.

Well that’s not strictly accurate in fact – it’s actually picking up from a review we did previously.

Sure Favs is an automated betting system from the Exponential Bet (or Expo Bet for short) suite of services and we previously took a look at it as part of a broader review of four of their systems.

Although as a whole the four systems didn’t make a profit over the course of our review, Sure Favs was the one service that did perform well, producing an excellent 167 points profit during our trial.

We have kept an eye on results since our trial ended and it has continued to perform well, as you can see from the results graph below from the main Sure Favs system:-

Sure Favs main graph

Sure Favs – Main Exchange & BSP (Straight)

So we thought it would be a good time to give Sure Favs another look and put it through a dedicated trial of its own here at HBR.

In a nutshell Sure Favs is an automated strategy that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using software called Cloud Bet Bot.

We have tested the software out extensively across a number of reviews now and it works very well, placing bets seamlessly on your Betfair account to your specified stakes, all without the need for a VPN or leaving your computer running all day. Impressive stuff.

As the name suggests, Sure Favs is about backing favourites, one horse per race according to given criteria identified by Expo Bet.

There are essentially three strategies that form part of the service:

  • Sure Favs Main
  • Sure Favs High
  • Sure Favs Foundation

It is recommended to use a 100 point bank for each.

For a bit more info about the service, here is Ryan from Expo Bet with a quick run-down:

So it should be an interesting review and one we are looking forward to given the solid long-term results this one has amassed.

As always we will update results here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Sure Favs from Exponential Bet for yourself here.

 

 

 

Top 5 Cryptocurrencies for Online Betting: Secure and Fast Options

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Photo by RDNE Stock project

In recent years, the adoption of cryptocurrencies as a payment option for online bookmakers has taken on a whole new dimension.

The increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by bookies and players is due to the many benefits they offer. And as the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to evolve, more cryptocurrencies keep emerging, with each one offering a unique proposition.

If you are interested in using cryptocurrency for online betting, then you want one that is secure yet fast.

So, in this article, we will be elaborating on the top 5 cryptocurrencies to use for online betting and the factors that influence their transaction speed.

Top 5 Secure and Fast Cryptocurrencies to Use for Online Betting

From Bitcoin to Ethereum to Tether, there are thousands of different cryptocurrencies you can use for online betting. But if your focus is to use a cryptocurrency that offers incredible transaction speed, then you must also take into account the security measures that cryptocurrency has in place.

So, below we have wrapped up the top 5 cryptocurrencies that offer a fair combination of security and speed.

  • Ethereum

Ethereum is one of the best options if you are looking for a cryptocurrency with a mixture of speed and top security. Choosing to use the best Ethereum betting sites offers you great advantages such as alluring bonuses and access to a large game library, plus Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap. With the Ethereum 2.0 version developers are working on, Ethereum could eventually support up to 100,000 transactions per second, address the issue of scalability, and reduce its energy consumption. 

  • Solana

Solana is another excellent fast cryptocurrency to consider because of its high-performance blockchain network. Launched in 2017, Solana is unique in its PoS consensus mechanism that allows it to process up to 3000 transactions per second, or up to 710,000 transactions per second theoretically. The design of the Solana network provides a fast, secure, and low-cost transaction option, making it an excellent option for online betting. It also offers several cool features and tools to support developers, making it an attractive option for developers looking to build decentralized applications that can scale to meet the demands of a growing user base. 

  • Ripple

Ripple is a real-time gross settlement system, remittance network, and currency exchange that allows for near-instantaneous transactions. According to the Ripple website, it uses a Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), where transaction settlement on the XRP Ledger takes 3-5 seconds. It is a cryptocurrency designed to be efficient and fast, with a transaction speed of 1,500 transactions per second. Also, Ripple offers low-cost transactions because its transaction fees are based on the amount of XRP used in the transaction and not the value of the transaction itself, making it an attractive option for bettors looking to process payment across borders quickly and efficiently. 

  • Hedera

Hedera Hashgraph, popularly regarded as the next-generation distributed ledger technology, is designed to be a scalable, secure, and fast cryptocurrency. It uses a unique consensus mechanism, hash graph consensus, that allows for efficient and fast validation of transactions. The Hedera network can process up to 10,000 transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchains in the market. In addition to its impressive speed, Hedera offers low latency, increased security, stability, and high throughput. 

  • Tron

Tron is a decentralized blockchain platform that offers bettors high speed and low cost on transactions, which comes in handy, especially after cracking the code to win your bets. It uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoF) consensus mechanic that allows for efficient and fast validation of transactions. It is capable of processing over 2000 transactions per second, which is significantly faster than what many blockchain networks are capable of. Furthermore, Tron offers a thriving ecosystem of DeFi and dApp projects and support for multiple programming languages that make it highly scalable. 

 

Factors Influencing the Speed of Blockchain Transactions

Photo by RDNE Stock project

A slow blockchain transaction speed may lead to longer wait times for bettors, which can negatively impact their overall user experience.

Blockchain transaction speed can be influenced by several factors, causing it to be slow in processing and confirming your transactions.

If your transactions are taking longer than they ought to, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Network Congestion

When the number of transactions waiting to be processed exceeds the network’s capacity, it leads to network congestion, which can cause delays. During such times, such as significant market movement or during ICOs, miners tend to prioritize transactions that use congestion algorithms to manage the queue. 

  • Transcation Fees

Another factor that can influence your transaction speed is the amount you set for the fee. You have the luxury of choosing how much you want to set for the transaction fee, but it’s important to note that setting too low a transaction fee may cause delays as miners tend to prioritize transactions with higher fees. Although when there are not many activities on the network, you may be able to get away with setting a low transaction fee and still get your transaction processed on time.   

  • Block Size

When you set a transaction via crypto, it gets transmitted in what is called a block. Depending on the cryptocurrency, each block has a size that determines how much data it can transmit. As such, cryptocurrencies with larger block sizes can process more transactions, making them less prone to congestion or reduced speed. But it’s also worth noting that cryptocurrencies with larger block sizes require more computational resources. 

  • Network Protocol

Furthermore, a cryptocurrency network protocol can influence its speed as it defines how data is transferred on the network. Depending on the cryptocurrency you use, some make use of consensus mechanisms like PoS, PoW, DPoS, and so on. It’s important to know the network protocol of the cryptocurrency you choose to use as it not only influences transaction speed but also scalability.

  • Transaction Complexity

The complexity of a transaction is another factor that doesn’t get spoken about well enough. When you’re sending cryptocurrencies, you’re essentially sending data; however, not every data is equal. Some are more complex to decode than others, and the harder they are, the more computational resources, or longer it will take, as the case may be. As such, if your transaction type involves complex data, such as one involving a smart contract, it’s best to set high transaction fees to incentivise miners to process it faster. 

 

 

What Features Are Moving Online Roulette in New Directions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Roulette is one of the timeless casino games that have been a big part of the entertainment scene for centuries.

While the basic gameplay remains the same as it always was, by looking at some online versions, we can see how it’s adapting to modern audiences thanks to bonus rounds and other features.

Sticky Bandits Roulette Live Has a Bonus Round

The range of online roulette versions in a live studio setting continues to grow, with Live Roulette by Playtech and Mega Roulette by Pragmatic Play among the current options listed.

Some games take a traditional approach, with very few changes to the established rules, but others, like Sticky Bandits Roulette by Playtech, add intriguing new features.

Others are computer-generated games with a virtual wheel and no presenter on the screen.

Based on a Wild West theme that takes into account some of the common tropes found in Hollywood movies, Sticky Bandits Roulette includes three bandit numbers on each spin of the wheel.

If the ball lands on one of these numbers, it triggers a bonus round that’s set up like a slot machine.

Those players who placed a bet on one of the bandit numbers can win a bigger prize in this round, while others get to watch.  

Lucky 6 Roulette Introduces Random Multipliers 

Random multipliers have become a key feature in many online roulette games by providing a way for bigger potential wins and a more volatile game.

The traditional roulette rules make a straight-up bet on a single number the biggest winner at 35:1. However, random multipliers can increase that figure greatly.

Lucky 6 Roulette by Pragmatic Play introduces six multipliers on every spin of the wheel, going up to a maximum of 2,088x. To compensate for this, the standard win on a single number wager is reduced to 19:1.

Other games like Quantum Roulette and Lightning Roulette use a similar approach, although the number of multipliers and the values vary between these games and the standard amount for a straight-up win also varies.

Red Door Roulette Has a Bonus Wheel

This version by Evolution has the familiar roulette wheel in the centre of the studio and is presented by a smartly dressed human presenter.

On the wall behind the wheel, a series of three numbers is chosen at random before each new game.

Yet, these special numbers don’t just provide a boosted win multiplier like those games we looked at earlier. 

Instead, if the ball lands on one of these numbers, and you have a straight-up bet on it, you take part in a special bonus round.

This feature uses the same money wheel used on the creator’s Crazy Time game, showing a number of different segments with values noted on each of them.

This is where you can get a boost to your win of up to 4,000x if it keeps stopping on the double segment.

These new ways of playing roulette retain many of the classic elements while introducing new features to help expand their appeal.

We can expect this sector to continue to evolve as new ways of playing get added to the latest releases.

Top Six Best Football Prediction Sites

Here is our list from extensive research of the best soccer prediction sites and the best football predictions we have found.

 

6. Bets for Today VIP Tips

Bets for Today VIP Tips is different from many others on this list.

They cover football and horse racing but you can opt just for the football tips if you prefer.

What sets Bets for Today VIP Tips apart is their focus on multiples (doubles, trebles, accumulators) rather than singles and they actively look for bookie odds boosts to find value for their followers.

This approach has worked well. For example they have made over £4,000 profit from doubles with £20 stakes, over £4,400 profit from trebles and over £3,100 profit from accumulators.

In our live test their football tips made profit every time and got a PASSED rating.

Most of their tips are from top leagues so minimal liquidity issues and big profit potential especially with accumulators.

Cheap subscription fees make Bets for Today VIP Tips a great choice for anyone looking for reliable football tips.


5. The Footy God

Up next is a new star in the football tipster world: The Footy God.

This new tipster is part of the Betting Gods platform and has been tipping since the start of the year, mainly on the Asian Handicap and over/under markets.

Tipping a range of leagues from around the world so you get broad coverage.

So far so good, 80+ points profit to 1-point level stakes.

The Footy God has been doing great, 70% success rate and 33% ROI.

While maintaining that kind of form long term is unlikely (10% ROI is considered top notch for a football tipster) but they are consistently making profits and having winning months so worth keeping an eye on.

 

4. Soccer Bank Builder

Soccer Bank Builder aims to double, triple, and even quadruple your betting bank with just one carefully chosen bet per day.

The system is a careful approach to build the bank over time.

Ten percent of the bank is staked per bet, stakes are recalculated after each result. This aggressive approach can make big profits (like £100 into over £900 in under 12 months) but it’s also fairly risky.

Our review of the service has been progressing very well so far, with 21 points profit made for the advised staking approach to date. 

The bets are at very short odds (average odds of 1.30), which fits the staking plan and has resulted in a high strike rate thus far.

One bet a day makes this system easy to follow and the results look very encouraging so far. If they can keep that going this prediction site could garner a higher place on this list. 

 

3. Predictology

Next up is Predictology, a football betting and trading tool to help you navigate the jungle of data in today’s betting world.

While having all the stats, tools and information at your disposal is a big advantage, the real challenge is turning that data into actionable insights to make a betting system. That’s where Predictology comes in.

It uses a database of over 350,000 football matches worldwide to develop and refine betting strategies.

Predictology offers two options: you can either use pre-built strategies from their team or dive into the database to create your own using custom filters.

During our live test we used Predictology’s pre-built strategies, sent daily via email. The results were good, with 38 points in profit made at a 52% win rate.

The platform covers over 50 leagues worldwide.

Some of the strategies available from Predictology include:

  • Lay the Draw: 497 points in profit, 18% ROI.
  • Goals, Goals, Goals: 67 points in profit, 12.5% ROI.
  • Value Home Wins: 148 points in profit, 19% ROI.

Predictology recently added automation (extra cost) so you can set and run systems.

In the world of football predictions it’s all about being one step ahead. Predictology has the tools and insights to take your betting to the next level, so it’s a must have for anyone looking to improve their football betting.

 

2. The Inside Man

Coming in at number two is The Inside Man, who has an edge due to his bookmaking background.

Adam Cheng is the man behind The Inside Man and was previously Head of Football Trading at Fitzdares. In that role he managed the bookmaking operation but also traded the football markets to make extra profit.

He went full time in 2020 and has been flying ever since.

According to his results on the Bet Chat website Adam has made 170 points, 10% ROI and 52% strike rate (over 50% of his bets win).

Our own trial of The Inside Man has made over 60 points so far.

The service is simple to follow with 5-10 bets per week, mostly on match odds, Asian handicap and player passes.

The Inside Man is a good-un in the world of football predictions.

 

1. Scottish Confidential 

Originally known as the Scottish Football Income Booster (SFIB), Scottish Confidential is a tipster service focused on Scottish football.

A university educated mathematician based near Glasgow, this tipster has a strong background. He has worked with bookmakers, been a proprietary trader for an Asian based private investment syndicate and a Scottish betting consultant for a quant focused hedge fund.

The results speak for themselves: Scottish Confidential has made over 200 points profit with a 43% strike rate and 10%+ ROI, fully verified here at HBR. 

The service focuses on the 1X2 market but also dabbles in over/under 2.5 goals, draw no bet (DNB) and double chance (DC).

With coverage of all Scottish leagues from the Premiership to League Two, this tipster has you covered for Scottish football.

Thanks to solid profits over the last few years Scottish Confidential is a top class tipster, using his unparalleled knowledge of Scottish football to deliver results.

How to Choose the Best Football Prediction Site

With so many football prediction sites available, finding the best one can be overwhelming.

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing a football prediction site to ensure you get the most accurate and reliable predictions:

  1. Accuracy: Look for sites with a high accuracy rate and a proven track record of predicting football matches correctly. Consistent accuracy is a strong indicator of a reliable prediction site.
  2. Expertise: Choose sites that feature experienced and knowledgeable tipsters and analysts. In-depth analysis and insights from experts can significantly enhance the quality of predictions.
  3. Transparency: Opt for sites that provide transparent and detailed information about their prediction methods and algorithms. Understanding how predictions are made can build trust and confidence in the site.
  4. User Experience: Select sites with a user-friendly interface and easy navigation. A well-designed site makes it simple to find and access the predictions you need.
  5. Customer Support: Good customer support is essential. Choose sites that offer responsive and helpful customer service to address any queries or concerns you may have.
  6. Free Tips: Look for sites that offer free tips and predictions. This allows you to test the site’s accuracy and reliability without any financial commitment.
  7. Reviews and Ratings: Check reviews and ratings from other users. Feedback from fellow punters can provide valuable insights into the site’s reputation and reliability.

By considering these factors, you can choose the best football prediction site that meets your needs and helps you make more accurate and profitable bets on football matches.

 

Can You Trust Football Predictions?

Short answer: it depends. Football prediction services can be useful tools for bettors but their accuracy varies greatly depending on many factors.

Here’s a closer look at whether you can trust football predictions and what to look out for when evaluating them:

1. The Source of Predictions Matters

The trust in football predictions often depends on the expertise and methods used by the service or person providing them. Reputable prediction platforms use:

  • Statistical Models: Advanced algorithms that analyse historical data, team form and player performance.
  • Expert Analysis: Insights from experienced analysts with in-depth knowledge of football.
  • AI and Machine Learning: Predictive tools that pick up trends and patterns with high accuracy.

But not all sources are equal. Many free or unverified tipsters don’t have the expertise or resources to produce accurate predictions.

2. Verified Track Record

A good prediction service should have a transparent and verifiable track record. Look for:

  • Historical results.
  • Third party verification of their performance.
  • No exaggerated claims of guaranteed profits.

If a service can’t back up their claims with proof then be cautious.

3. The Nature of Football Betting

Football is unpredictable. Upsets, injuries, weather and referee decisions can all affect outcomes, so no prediction service can guarantee accuracy.

Even the best services will have losing runs.

4. Balancing Expectations

While football predictions can help you find value bets and fine tune your strategy, don’t rely on them as a foolproof way of winning.

Instead use them as part of a bigger betting approach that includes:

  • Bankroll management.
  • Understanding odds and market movements.
  • Researching team and player statistics.

5. Red Flags

Be wary of prediction services that:

  • Promise unrealistic success rates (e.g. “95% accuracy”).
  • Use vague or unverifiable data.
  • Charge exorbitant fees with no free trial or money back guarantee.

6. Using Predictions with Your Own Analysis

The best bettors use predictions as an extra tool to their own research. By cross referencing predictions with your own knowledge you can make better informed decisions.

Summary – Trusting Football Predictions

You can trust football predictions to some extent when they come from a good source with a verified track record. But no service can remove the risk of betting.

Use them wisely, balance your expectations and use them as part of a solid betting approach.

 

Conclusion

So there you have it, a list of some of the best football predictions out there, all services we have reviewed ourselves and found to be top notch. Have a try of one or more of them for yourself and see if they can make you some very handy profits.

A Guide to Profitable Betting Systems: Understanding Predictology’s Football Tools

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you are looking for ways to place more strategic, well-informed football bets online, you’ve come to the right place. Here is everything you need to know about Predictology’s sophisticated football betting and trading tools suite. 

Their system is designed to give you an edge on the markets and help you identify value bets, among other things, with the latest data and statistics presented to you in a unique database of football betting stats that can help you improve your betting decisions. 

Let’s dive straight in to learn more about how the Predictology football analysis betting tools can help potentially turn those losing bets into winning ones. 

What is Predictology’s football analysis betting tool?

In recent years, successful football betting has become an art form. Today, anyone who is of legal age to place real money wagers on fully licensed and regulated betting sites in South Africa now has access to huge amounts of data and statistics that help them place smarter and more strategic wagers that have a higher chance of success. 

One of these tools is called Predictology – a highly sophisticated innovation designed to give you an edge on any betting markets that you choose to bet on. 

Fundamentally, it gives you access to a unique database of football betting data for over 400,000 matches, with detailed stats for more than 50 popular betting markets and over 200 variables for 68 top-flight domestic football leagues. 

By harnessing the data and unique insights, using the Predictology tool is a must-have for anyone looking to place more successful football bets. The advanced tool is relatively easy to use and includes the following:

  • Integrated betting automation 
  • Proprietary system analyser and builder
  • The ability to monitor and keep track of your betting performance with Bet Tracker Pro
  • Daily insights for the latest value bets
  • Fully integrated with BF Bot Manager
  • Over 30 prediction models
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) generated predictions using details match analysis
  • Staking plan simulator
  • Keep your fingers on the pulse with In-Play alerts and tracking
  • Customisable and dynamic automation options

When using the Predictology in-play (aka live) betting dashboard and analysis summary tool, you will also have access to various other complex but user-friendly software and tools, such as in-depth training videos and useful guides to bring you up-to-speed and a growing online community of fast, responsive, and knowledgeable support that’s on hand to assist you 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

How else can I make more informed football betting decisions?

In addition to using Predictology tools to place more successful football bets, it also helps to research a football match before placing bets.

Some of the key information to gather before betting includes the importance of the match, current league standings for both teams and recent form (for at least the past five matches). 

You can also place more strategic, well-informed bets by learning the starting lineup on matchday, each team’s playing styles/strategies/formations, recent signings, injury news and updates, and the historical results between the two teams. 

Even finding out what the weather will be like on the day can help you make better decisions because some individuals/teams perform much better than others in certain weather conditions. 

Although football betting still isn’t an exact science, it’s much easier these days to place more successful bets thanks to tools like Predictology.

The important thing to understand is that betting odds are subject to change without warning and that even betting on the favourites still doesn’t always guarantee a return on your initial investment. 

You may also want to consider value betting, which is more of a long-term betting strategy. Some of the most successful sports bettors are also actively involved in running one or more fantasy football teams, so you may also want to consider running your own fantasy team, which is also said to help you make more informed betting decisions. 

Final thoughts

The most important thing to remember about sports betting is that it comes with risks, just like trading in stocks, shares, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Before betting, set a reasonable spending budget using only money you can comfortably afford to lose. 

Stick to betting on licensed and regulated iGaming sites and avoid signing up to unlicensed and unregulated sites because they simply cannot be trusted. 

The official 10bet sports betting and casino site is just one example of a reliable site that’s controlled by one of the industry’s most trusted operators. It’s free to join and is known for offering registered members highly competitive odds using real-time data and statistics. 

It can be accessed online from any decent Wi-Fi/internet-connected smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer and welcomes a broad range of tried and tested South African online payment methods that facilitate quick, easy, and secure deposits and withdrawals. 

You can also claim a guaranteed free sports bet welcome bonus when topping up your account with R20 or more on your first deposit. When you get used to using Predictology, the best thing to do is use it every time you decide to place a football bet on sites like this. 

 

Over/Under Goals Meaning in Football Betting: A Guide to Mastering the Market

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When it comes to football betting, the over/under is one of the most used and popular markets by punters worldwide.

It’s a simple market that allows fans to bet on the total goals in a match without worrying who wins.

In this article we’ll explain what over/under means, look at different over/under goal lines and reveal some betting strategies to help you get the most out of this market.

 

What is Over/Under Goals?

In football betting the over/under goals means betting on whether the total number of goals both teams will score in a match will be above or below a certain number.

It is purely a bet on the total number of goals scored in a football match, regardless of who wins the game or which team scores the goals. 

For example, if you bet on over 2.5 goals you’re betting at least 3 goals will be scored.

So that could mean the final score being 2-1, 3-0, 2-2 and so on. 

If you bet on under 2.5 you’re betting the match will end with 2 goals or less.

Here is a simple explanation of the over/under 2.5 goals market showing the outcomes depending on how many goals are scored in the match:

Scoreline Outcome 
0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 2-0 Under 2.5 goals
2-1, 3-0, 3-1, 2-2 etc. Over 2.5 goals

The beauty of this market is you don’t need to guess the exact score or who will win – you’re just predicting a high or low scoring game.

 

Why have .5 Goals though?

You might have seen goal markets like over/under 1.5 goals and over/under 2.5 goals and be wondering why half a goal is included in the market.

After all, no one can actually score half a goal in football, right?

The reason is simple: the use of half a goal ensures that there are only two possible outcomes – a win or a loss – without the chance of the bet finishing in a draw (or voided). 

Here’s how it works: if the line were set at over/under 1 goal, a 1-0 or 0-1 final score would result in a draw or a void bet, meaning no winner.

With over/under 1.5 goals, however, the line is clear-cut.

The result either beats the line or falls short, so there’s always a definite outcome – win or lose – which keeps things straightforward.

 

Over/Under Goal Lines: 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and More

Bookmakers offer various goal lines for over/under betting.

The most common are 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 but you often see 0.5 and 4.5 as well, and even lines like over 5.5, 6.5 and so on. 

Here’s what each means:

Over/Under 0.5

This is the simplest over/under market – betting on if there will be at least one goal in the match.

  • Over 0.5 Goals: A single goal from either team will win this bet.
  • Under 0.5 Goals: You’re backing a goalless draw.

If you are backing under 0.5 goals you will have a low strike-rate as 0-0 draws are rare, especially in high scoring leagues like the Bundesliga and Premier League.

Over/Under 1.5

A slight step up, the over/under 1.5 market is also simple and has more competitive odds.

  • Over 1.5 Goals: Two goals or more to win. For example 1-1 or any higher score will win.
  • Under 1.5 Goals: This will win only if it’s a low scoring game – 1-0, 0-1 or 0-0.

This market is for bettors who are confident in the scoring abilities of one or both teams in the match.

Over/Under 2.5

The most common line, over/under 2.5 is the standard for a football match especially in leagues like the Premier League and La Liga.

  • Over 2.5 Goals: Three or more goals to win. Common winning scores will be 2-1, 3-0 or 2-2.
  • Under 2.5 Goals: Two goals or less to win. Typical outcomes will be 1-0, 1-1 or 0-0.

For a balanced game where both teams have similar defensive and attacking records this market has fair odds on both sides.

Over/Under 3.5

This market is for matches involving high scoring teams or leagues.

  • Over 3.5 Goals: Four or more goals to win – 3-1, 4-0 or 2-2.
  • Under 3.5 Goals: Three or fewer goals to win – 2-1, 2-0 or 1-1.

Over 3.5 bets are higher risk but can offer better odds, for bettors who think it will be an open game.

Over/Under 4.5

For fans of high scoring games, over/under 4.5 is an option that leans towards big scores, usually found in leagues like the Bundesliga or matches involving teams with porous defences.

  • Over 4.5 Goals: Five or more goals, 3-2, 4-1 or 5-0.
  • Under 4.5 Goals: Up to four goals in the game.

Why Over/Under Goals?

The over/under goals market is great for casual bettors who don’t want to bet on match outcomes:

  • Predictable Patterns: Teams with strong attacking or defensive records create patterns for goal totals, less affected by the match result.
  • League Flexibility: Some leagues are high scoring or low scoring, like the Bundesliga (high scoring) or Ligue 1 (low scoring). You can adjust your over/under bets according to the league trend.
  • Focus on the Game: Since you’re betting on goal totals you can watch the game and enjoy it without worrying about which team scores, who wins or who concedes.

Examples

  • Example 1: Manchester City vs. Arsenal – You bet over 2.5. The game ends 3-1. Four goals were scored so your bet wins.
  • Example 2: Chelsea vs. Liverpool – You bet under 3.5. The game ends 1-1. Two goals were scored so your bet wins.
  • Example 3: Tottenham vs. Everton – You bet over 1.5. The final score is 1-0. One goal was scored so your bet loses.

These examples show that with over/under betting you don’t care which team scores – just the total goals.

 

Over/Under 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 Markets Explained

Bookies these days also tend to offer markets on over/under 1.0 goals, 2.0 goals, 3.0 goals and so on.

Over/Under 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 markets are a little different from those with half-goal increments.

In these markets, you can still win or lose, but there’s also the possibility of a push, or a void bet, if the exact line is hit.

Here’s how it works:

  • Over/Under 1.0: If you bet on over 1.0 goals, you need at least two goals for a win. If exactly one goal is scored, your stake is returned as a void bet. A scoreline of 0-0 results in a loss.
  • Over/Under 2.0: Betting on over 2.0 means you need three or more goals to win. If exactly two goals are scored, the bet is void, and your stake is refunded. If there’s only one goal or no goals at all, the bet loses.
  • Over/Under 3.0: With over 3.0 goals, you need four or more goals for a win. Three goals exactly means your stake is refunded, and anything under that results in a loss.

These whole-number lines add a layer of flexibility to your bet since a push gives you a second chance with a refund instead of an outright loss.

Strategies for Betting on Over/Under Goals Markets

Betting over/under can be a good strategy if done right. Here are some tips to help you make better decisions:

1. Form Study: Look at Recent Scoring History

Team form is one of the most reliable indicators of match outcomes and is particularly useful for over/under goals.

Look at the recent scoring history of both teams and you can get an idea of high or low scoring game.

For example if both teams are coming off a series of high scoring games, over 2.5 could be a good option.

If both teams have strong defences and low goal averages, under 2.5 could be value.

Things to look at in recent form:

  • Goals Scored and Conceded: Look at the average goals scored and conceded over the last five to ten games.
  • Home and Away Form: Some teams are much better or worse away from home which affects their scoring.

2. Head-to-Head: Look for Patterns

Some teams develop patterns against certain opponents. Look at the head to head records between teams to find these patterns and get an edge in over/under betting.

For example if a fixture between two teams has been high scoring in the past, over could be a good option.

But don’t just rely on head to head data as team compositions and coaching styles change over time. Use this data along with current form and other metrics for a better picture.

3. Team and Injury News: Who’s Playing

Injuries, suspensions and lineup changes can have a huge impact on goal scoring in a game.

For example if a team’s top scorer is missing it might be harder for them to score, which could be value in an unders bet.

If a key defender or goalkeeper is out the likelihood of conceding might increase, so over could be a good option.

Some tips for using team news:

  • Monitor News Close to Kick-off: Many bookmakers offer in-play betting so you can act on confirmed lineups.
  • Use Reliable Sources: Follow verified team news accounts, sports news platforms or club websites to get the latest squad changes.

4. In-Play Betting: Using the In-Play Scanner

In-play betting allows you to see the flow and tempo of the game in real time.

If both teams are creating chances but haven’t yet scored, it might be an ideal time to place your bet.

Tools like the In-Play Scanner can be extremely helpful, alerting you to games with high attacking activity where a goal seems likely.

This tool assesses matches based on key indicators such as attacks, corners, and shots.

When a game reaches a certain threshold (like 70), it signals a strong likelihood of a goal, triggering an alert for you.

In a three-month trial, the scanner generated £632 in profit from the alerts it provided.

A major advantage of in-play betting is that you can take advantage of better odds if the game starts slowly, expecting goals to come later on.

For example:

  • First Half Trends: If the game is slow with minimal shots you might consider an under. But if both teams are creating chances an over might be good.
  • Player Fatigue and Substitutions: As the game goes on substitutes or fatigued defenders can create opportunities for late goals and increase the chance of an overs.

5. Match-Up Style of Teams: Look at the Teams’ Playing Styles

Each team’s playing style can have a big impact on goal scoring. Some teams play high press and attack and often get high scoring games, others play more defensive and conservative.

Knowing these styles can help you make better decisions in over/under betting.

Here’s how to look at team match-ups:

  • Attack vs Defence: If a high scoring team with a good attack faces a defensive solid team, think how the match-up will affect total goals. A defensive solid team can neutralise even the best attack so an under might be a good option.
  • Tactics and Formation: Some managers play counter attacking and that can result in low scoring games if both teams do that. Two attacking teams will create an open high scoring game.

6. Weather and Pitch: Consider the Environment

Often overlooked but weather and pitch conditions can affect the game. Poor weather like heavy rain or strong winds can reduce the quality of the game and result in fewer goals.

A poor pitch can make it harder for teams to control the ball and score.

Here’s how to use these in your betting:

  • Check the Forecasts Before the Match: Bad weather could be value in an unders bet.
  • Consider the Match Venue: Some pitches are known for poor drainage or subpar quality and can slow the game down and reduce goal scoring.

Putting It All Together: A Multi-Factor Approach

When betting on over/under goals it’s better to combine these strategies rather than just one.

By combining form study, head-to-head trends, team news, in-play dynamics, match-up styles and environmental factors you can make more informed data driven decisions.

Using a multi-faceted approach will give you a better foundation to predict total goals and bet with confidence like a pro football bettor.

Mistakes to Avoid in Over/Under Goals Betting

Like any market, over/under goals has its pitfalls:

  • Ignoring Team News: A missing star player can kill goal scoring.
  • Betting on Past Scores Alone: Past scores can help but each game has its own factors and betting on past results blindly will lead to losses.
  • Overconfidence in High Scoring Teams: Even high scoring teams can have low scoring games especially in tight games.


Conclusion: Over/Under Goals – A Versatile Option

Over/under goals has something for everyone, from beginners to experienced punters. It’s easy, flexible and works across leagues and competitions.

By understanding the goal lines, knowing the teams’ strengths and weaknesses and the game conditions you can use this market to your advantage.

Whether you want a low risk under 1.5 goals or a high scoring over 4.5 goals game, over/under opens up a world of possibilities in football betting.

So next time you watch your favourite team, try over/under betting – you might just find a new way to enjoy the game.

 

FAQs 

What Does “Over/Under Goals” Mean in Football Betting?

The term “Over/Under Goals” in football betting refers to a market where bettors predict whether the total number of goals scored in a match will be above or below a certain line set by the bookmaker.

For example, in an Over/Under 2.5 goals market, you bet on whether the combined goals of both teams will exceed or fall short of 2.5.

If you bet “over,” three or more goals are needed to win, while “under” wins if there are two or fewer goals.

Why Are “Half Goals” Used in Over/Under Markets?

Half goals, like in Over/Under 1.5 or 2.5 goals, are used to eliminate the chance of a draw in betting outcomes.

By setting a line with a decimal point (e.g., 2.5), only two outcomes are possible: either the bet is a win or a loss.

This keeps things straightforward, as there’s no possibility of your bet being void or refunded due to a draw.

What’s the Difference Between Over/Under 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 Goals?

The difference lies in the threshold for winning the bet:

  • Over/Under 1.5 Goals: Betting on “over” wins if two or more goals are scored, while “under” wins if fewer than two goals are scored.
  • Over/Under 2.5 Goals: “Over” wins with at least three goals; “under” wins with two or fewer.
  • Over/Under 3.5 Goals: “Over” wins with four or more goals, and “under” wins with three or fewer. Each line represents a specific scoring expectation and adjusts the potential payout odds accordingly.

How Can I Improve My Success in Over/Under Goals Betting?

Improving your success in Over/Under betting can be achieved through research and strategy:

  • Form Study: Look at recent performances of each team to gauge their goal-scoring form.
  • Head-to-Head Records: Past encounters between the teams can indicate trends, such as high or low-scoring games.
  • Team News: Injuries to key players, particularly strikers or defenders, can impact scoring potential.
  • In-Play Betting: Use in-play tools like scanners to spot games with high attacking activity, which can suggest a likely goal.

What Happens if I Bet on Over/Under 2.0 Goals and Exactly Two Goals are Scored?

In Over/Under 2.0 goals markets, if exactly two goals are scored, the bet is considered a “push.”

This means your stake is refunded as the final score landed precisely on the line.

This applies to any whole-number markets, such as Over/Under 1.0 or 3.0 goals.

Are There Risks Associated with Over/Under Betting?

Like any form of betting, Over/Under betting involves risk. Factors like unexpected injuries, red cards, and unpredictable game conditions can impact goal outcomes.

Managing your bankroll, setting limits, and conducting thorough research can help minimize risks and make your Over/Under betting more consistent and enjoyable.

 

Exploring The Kelly Criterion as a Betting Strategy

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Kelly Criterion is a mathematical formula that allows you to determine how much you should wager on a single bet. It’s usually based on the odds you’re being offered by the bookmaker.

The main purpose is to minimise the risk of a loss while optimising your bankroll.

Where to Apply the Kelly Criterion

The Kelly Criterion is a formula that can be used to estimate how much of your bankroll you should be putting toward a particular bet.

If you’re betting on a football match, you may believe that the team has a 60% chance of winning.

If you use the Kelly Criterion, you’d put on average 15.56% of your bankroll toward that particular bet.

Although this is a popular strategy for sports games, if you’re playing casino games that are more based on chance, adopting a strategy like the Fibonacci System would be more suited. This is especially the case for Megaways casino games.

The main reason for this is that game types like this offer 177,649 ways to win. Some Megaways games, such as Hey You Guys, offer a bonus boost and 15,625 ways to win, showing the variance between individual games.

Unlike traditional slots, games like this use a dynamic system where the symbols on each reel change with every spin.

When you take into account free spins, multipliers and different game variants, it’s easy to see why a simpler formula, like the Fibonacci Sequence, is easier to implement, especially when you need a faster way to calculate your bet.

The Importance of Accurate Estimation

One of the most important parts of using the Kelly Criterion is estimating the general probability of winning.

In sports betting, this can be difficult, as the odds of winning can be influenced by the weather, team form, injuries and more.

Predicting things like this is impossible, so manual allowances have to be made when calculating your bet amount.

Although one major benefit of the formula is that you can adjust your bankroll automatically, you do need to be mindful of using inaccurate bet estimations, as this will throw off your strategy.

One good way to account for variances would be for you to use the Fractional Kelly strategy. This is where you bet half or even a quarter of what the formula is telling you to bet.

This reduces your risk, but it also reduces your potential for a good return.

Overall, the Kelly Criterion is a very powerful tool in the world of betting. It helps to maximise long-term growth, and it also helps you to manage risk.

With that being said, it’s important to know when to use it. Betting strategies, such as the Fibonacci Sequence or the Fractional Kelly strategy will help you when you can’t predict the chance of winning or when you’re concerned about outside variances, such as bad weather or player injuries that throw the odds out of your favour. 

Even though nothing can be predicted in the world of betting, having a solid strategy is often a good way to regulate your bankroll while adding structure to the experience.

What Does RPR Mean in Horse Racing? A Complete Guide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

If you’re into horse racing or betting you’ll have come across many abbreviations and ratings that can be a bit confusing.

One that stands out for many is “RPR”. So what does RPR mean in horse racing and how can it help you make informed betting decisions?

This will explain what RPR is, how it’s calculated, what it means for horses and how you can use it to improve your betting.

Let’s get started!

What is RPR?

RPR stands for Racing Post Rating. It’s a number that’s assigned to a horse’s performance in a race by the Racing Post, a UK based racing publication.

It’s a way for punters, analysts and fans to measure a horse’s performance and compare it to others in a race or across races.

RPR is used by both casual punters and professionals as a tool to find horses that have an edge in a forthcoming race.

How is the RPR Calculated?

The RPR is calculated by Racing Post experts who consider several factors to estimate a horse’s performance in a race. These include:

  1. Finishing Position and Winning Margin: Where the horse finished and the margin by which they won or lost.
  2. Quality of Opposition: Horses in higher grade races will have RPRs that reflect the quality of the competition. For example a race with several high rated horses will impact each horse’s RPR more.
  3. Race Conditions: Track (turf or dirt), weather, distance and course type are considered as they can all impact a horse’s performance.
  4. Weight Carried: The weight a horse carries, as set by the race conditions, impacts their performance and the RPR adjusts for it. A high performing horse carrying extra weight gets an RPR that takes into account the extra load.

The Racing Post experts review the horse’s performance against these factors to give a rating for that particular race.

Why RPR is Important

The RPR is designed to normalise performances across different races so you can compare horses that haven’t raced against each other.

It takes into account more than just the finishing position and gives a more complete picture of the horse.

Here are the reasons why RPR is so useful:

  1. Standardised Benchmark: RPRs give a consistent measure so you can compare horses even if they’ve run on different tracks or under different conditions.
  2. Predictive Power: A horse with a good RPR history may perform well especially when the opposition and conditions are the same as previous races.
  3. Finding Value Bets: Since RPR is based on performance horses with high RPRs can be value especially if their odds don’t reflect their ability.

How to use RPR in your betting strategy

Whether you’re a newbie or a pro, knowing how to use RPR ratings can be a winner in horse racing betting. Here’s how:

1. Compare RPRs between horses in a race

A simple way to start using RPRs is to compare the ratings of all the horses in a race. If one horse has higher RPRs than the others it’s likely the stronger horse.

Look for horses with a history of high RPRs in similar conditions to the forthcoming race.

2. Look for trends in a horse’s RPR

Review a horse’s RPRs over recent races and you can see trends in their form.

For example if a horse’s RPR has been increasing it might be peaking and could be a good bet.

If a horse’s RPR is declining it might be past its best or struggling with the recent conditions.

3. Use RPR to evaluate odds value

Sometimes a horse with a high RPR will be underestimated in the market and be available at longer odds.

These are value betting opportunities as the horse’s past performance suggests it has a good chance but the odds don’t reflect it.

4. Consider weight and RPR together

When looking at RPRs remember to consider the weight a horse will carry in the next race.

If a horse performed well with a high RPR when carrying extra weight in the past it will likely handle similar conditions again.

Comparing weight adjusted RPRs is a great way to find winners.

5. Use RPR with other ratings

Although RPR is a useful tool it’s best used in conjunction with other ratings such as the Official Rating (OR), trainer form or speed figures.

By using RPR as part of a bigger picture you can make a more informed betting decision.

Example of Using RPR

Here’s an example table for a hypothetical horse race, showing each horse’s name, recent form, and RPR rating.

Horse Name Recent Form (last 5 races) RPR (Recent) RPR (Best)
Storm Chaser 1-3-2-1-4 142 145
Midnight Star 5-2-4-3-1 138 140
Quick Silver 3-4-1-2-2 135 136
Rising Glory 1-1-1-4-3 140 143
Blazing Speed 2-3-5-6-2 128 130

In this example:

  • Storm Chaser has the highest recent RPR of 142 and a best RPR of 145, showing strong and consistent recent form, with multiple top finishes (1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions in the last five races).
  • Rising Glory also shows impressive recent form with three first-place finishes in the last five races and an RPR of 140 (recent) and 143 (best).
  • Midnight Star is coming off a win in its last race and has an RPR of 138 (recent) and 140 (best), suggesting it’s a solid contender but perhaps not as consistent as Storm Chaser and Rising Glory.

Analysing the RPRs to Find Betting Value

Looking at these RPRs, let’s consider a betting strategy based on both recent form and RPR:

  1. Favouring High RPRs with Consistent Form: Since Storm Chaser and Rising Glory have the highest recent RPRs (142 and 140, respectively) and consistent form, these two are standout choices. Storm Chaser edges out due to slightly higher recent and best RPR, indicating it’s been performing at a consistently high level across its races.
  2. Spotting Potential Value with Improving Form: Midnight Star could present a value bet. Its recent win shows improvement, and while its RPR is slightly lower (138 recent, 140 best), this horse might still perform well if it’s on an upward trajectory in form. If the betting odds for Midnight Star are high, it could offer value as a slightly “undervalued” horse.
  3. Assessing Risk with Lower RPRs: Blazing Speed has the lowest recent RPR of 128 and a less consistent form pattern, making it a riskier choice. While it may perform well, it’s less likely to beat out the higher-rated competitors unless conditions significantly favour it.

In summary, using the RPR table above, a bettor might place a win bet on Storm Chaser due to its high RPR and strong form, while considering an each-way bet on Midnight Star if the odds offer potential value, as it has been showing recent improvement.

This RPR analysis provides a clear, data-backed approach to selecting horses with a strong chance of performing well.

 

RPR vs OR: What’s the difference?

While RPR is popular with punters and analysts OR is another rating to be aware of. Here’s the difference:

  • RPR (Racing Post Rating): Assigned by Racing Post analysts, based on recent race performances and conditions.
  • OR (Official Rating): Assigned by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) which also takes into account a horse’s entire race record. This rating is used to set weights in handicap races so it has a formal role in race management.

Both RPR and OR have their uses and it’s often helpful to look at them together when viewing a race.

OR is an official and regulated measure, RPR is a more dynamic and performance-based view that takes recent form into account.

RPR Pros

Like any rating system RPR has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are the main ones:

Pros of RPR:

  • Cross-Race Comparison: RPR is adjusted for race conditions so it’s a standard way to compare horses.
  • Accurate Performance Measure: The experts who assign RPRs take into account a wide range of factors so it’s a broad view of each horse.
  • Value Betting: RPRs can show you strong horses the market has underestimated and therefore value to bet.

Cons of RPR:

  • Subjectivity: As it’s based on analyst’s opinions RPRs are subjective.
  • No Official Standing: Unlike OR, RPR doesn’t have any official standing so it’s best used as an additional tool rather than a primary one.
  • May Miss Emerging Talent: Young or lightly raced horses may not have a high RPR yet even if they have the ability to outperform older higher rated horses.

Example: Reading RPRs on a racecard

Let’s say you’re looking at a racecard for a big race.

Alongside each horse you’ll see its RPR listed, usually the recent or highest rating. Here’s how to read them:

  • If a horse has a recent RPR much higher than the others it’s usually a sign of form and competitiveness.
  • If a horse has fluctuating RPRs check if the lower ones align with adverse conditions (like soft ground) which may explain the dips in performance.

Looking at RPRs over multiple races can also help you see if a horse performs well in certain conditions and add another layer to your race analysis.

Conclusion

RPR gives you valuable insight into a horse’s recent form and is ideal for punters looking to assess a horse for an upcoming race.

By learning to read RPR and combining it with other factors you can make more informed and confident bets.

Remember RPR is a great tool but it’s at its best as part of a broader approach.

Combine RPR with a horse’s OR, recent form, trainer performance and race conditions and you’ll get a fuller picture of its chances.

By mastering RPR you’re not just betting on numbers you’re betting on the sport.
