•    Betting exchanges such as Betfair offer good value in horse race betting. For this reason, some experts now only bet on betting exchanges. The added advantage of betting exchanges is that they allow you to bet on a horse to lose, which is easier for the non-expert.

Internet Football Betting Revealed
Football is a particularly exciting game to wager on with many different bet options and a wide range of leagues and teams. However, it is easy to fall into the trap of betting on your own favourite UK team and let sentiment take over from logic – the bookies love this type of betting. If you’re a keen fan of a UK team it can be a good idea to look at some other leagues. All around the world, but mainly Europe and South America, countries have professional leagues and bookmakers will readily accept bets on most of them. The Internet means that it is almost as easy to obtain information on Italy’s Serie A or Korea’s K-League as on Premiership teams. Tournaments (of which the World Cup is the ultimate but not the only one) also offer potential.

The most popular types of football betting, although different bookmakers might call them by different names, are match betting, outright wagers, group wagers, and propositions.
Match Betting
Match betting on football varies from many other types of betting as there are three potential outcomes that can be wagered on, which are essentially: favourite to win, underdog to win, and draw. Because so many games end in a draw, wagering on the draw is a significant betting option. Here’s an example from the World Cup when Saui Arabia played Cameroon:

Saudi Arabia 7/2
Cameroon 4/6
Draw 9/4

Remember that all leagues have different rules on tie games and how, or if, they are further decided so it is especially important to be aware of the specific league rules when making match wagers. Odds are typically for 90 minutes of play only. This means that the bets are settled at the end of the second half, including any injury time. Even if the game is further decided by extra time or penalty kicks, in competitions where this is used to determine the outcome, the result after 90 minutes of play is the score used when tabulating winning and losing wagers. Some bookmakers do take wagers on which team is the ultimate winner (includes extra time and penalty kicks) but it is a much less common bet and the odds usually hold less value, especially for the inexperienced.
Outright Betting
Players who want to bet on the outright winner of a competition or league can place bets at fixed odds in the futures format. This type of bet also has a variation commonly known as betting each way. For example:

France 9/2
Argentina 5/1
Italy 6/1

In this case, punters who wager on Argentina at these odds would be paid £5 for every £1 they bet (of course the £1 stake is also returned for a total collection of £6).
 
Bear in mind that betting each way is actually two bets. One is on the selected team to come in first or second place, exactly like a place bet in horse racing, and the other is on the same team to win the competition outright. An example of a £100 each way bet is the easiest way to explain the principle. Using the odds from above on Italy (6/1 to win) here are the possible outcomes of an each way bet:

•    Both wagers lose if Italy does not make it to the final game

•    If Italy makes it to the final game but loses, the first £100 bet pays off at half of the odds of the ‘to win’ bet (3-1), for a collection of £300 (£300 winnings plus the £100 stake minus the £100 to win wager).

•    If Italy makes it to the final and wins, both £100 bets pay off. So £400 would be collected on the place wager and £700 (£600 winnings at 6-1 plus £100 stake), would be collected on the to win wager, for a total profit of £900 off a £200 wager.
Group Wagering
This is a form of football betting suitable for a competition that involves group stages, such as the World Cup or Champions League. For example, each group has four teams that play each other in a mini-league format to determine which teams will advance into the subsequent, or knockout, round. Betting on the winner of each group is a very popular bet and often these can be combined for higher payouts. The betting format is identical to that of future wagering. Here is an example:

Group C
Spain 1/4
Turkey 4/1
China 25/1
Uruguay 10/1
Proposition Wagering
Proposition wagering is a form of betting that is not based on the outright winner of a match. Bets include predicting the exact score, which team will score first, which players will score, when, and over/under type bets. Additionally, bets for an entire competition might include which player wins the ‘golden boot’, i.e. is the top goal scorer or how many red cards are given out.

What is particularly interesting to note about these bets is that they often have widely varying odds at different bookmakers and so you can often get incredible value by shopping around on the Internet.

What Is Asian Handicap Betting? Asian handicap betting is used to eliminate the possibility of neither party winning the event, e.g. it eliminated the draw in a game such as football. With Asian handicap the perceived underdog is given a head start of a handicap, and the favourite will be handicapped by the same handicap. The predetermined number of the handicap will be added to the real number of points or goals and make up the right bet.

For example:

Match    Home    Handicap    Away
Liverpool v Aston Villa    1.90    0:1/2    1.95

This simply means Aston Villa has a 1/2 ball advantage when the match starts. If you bet on Liverpool you will win your bet if Liverpool win the match, otherwise you will lose. If you bet on Aston Villa you will win your bet if the game ends on a draw or Aston Villa win the game.


The HANDICAP takes the form of a number of 'balls' (or goals) to be subtracted from the favourite's score before determining who wins.

Consider this simple example: Liverpool at home give 1½ balls to Charlton:

        home       odds    handicap   odds     away  
    Liverpool   1.98       0:1½         2.05    Charlton

In this example, we add 1½ onto Charlton's final score, and see if Liverpool still wins.  Hence, Liverpool must win by 2 goals or more to beat the HANDICAP (& you get odds of $1.98 if you backed them) - ANY other result and Charlton wins (& you get odds of $2.05 if you backed them).

It gets complicated by the fact that Handicaps can be set in ¼ balls.  If a team ends up winning (or loosing) by a ¼ ball, then you only win (or loose) 50% of what you would upon an outright result. 

(Note some Bookies will display a 1¼ Handicap as "1 & 1½" - indicating that half your stake is placed at a handicap of 1 and the other half of your stake is placed at 1½.)
Internet Golf Betting Revealed
Betting on professional golf events is an increasingly popular way to bet, and the most usual type of bet is on a major international tournament such as ‘The Masters’. There is a wide variety of bet types available. Some last through the entire tournament, others are based on daily action, and propositions are available on the major events. Here are some examples to illustrate the possibilities based on The Masters:
Betting To Win
This is a simple future wager on which golfer will win the event. In the case where a golfer withdraws before they tee off on the first hole wagers are refunded. Any withdrawal after that time would result in a losing wager. Look at this fictitious example to get an idea of how the odds will look:

P. Mickelson        14/5
E. Els                11/1
David Duval        15/1
K.J. Choi            18/1
Field (all others)    7/2

The odds are displayed with the favourite at the top and usually end with a ‘field’ bet. For example, P. Mickleson is given odds of 14/5. What this means is that for every five pounds you bet, you will win fifteen (plus your stake returned of course).

Betting the field is betting on any player who is not listed with individual odds. Generally there will be up to 50 players with their own odds and all the rest are included under the
‘field’. During an event like The Masters, however, bookmakers might offer odds on every single player and those who were originally in the field will have very high odds. If you want to bet on a specific ‘dark horse’ or up-and-coming golfer it is better to shop around to find a bookmaker who offers individual odds. If that golfer wins the difference could be 7-2 on the field, or 350-1 when betting on the individual!

Another twist on betting to win in golf betting is the opportunity to bet that any given golfer will win any one of the four major events. This gives you four different events in which the bet could potentially pay off and is an interesting way to make a season-long wager.
Match-Up Betting
An interesting way to wager on golf is using head-to-head match-ups created by the bookie that may or may not have anything to do with the actual golfer groupings in the event. For example, using US style odds:

Round 1

P. Mickelson (-145)
E. Els (+115)

This is a plain moneyline bet on which player will have the best score at the end of the first round. Mickelson is the favourite and every £14.50 wagered on him would win £10 while every £10 wagered on Els would win £11.50. If they are tied the wager is a push and all bets are returned.

There may be more than one match-up for the same player in any given round, especially during the major tournaments. Mickelson might be paired against the next five players during the first and second round and each match-up would have adjusted odds. Other match-up bets sometimes have three or four players. Always be sure to shop around with this type of bet because match-ups and their odds vary widely from bookmaker to bookmaker and with a little surfing, great middle opportunities can sometimes be found.
Golf ‘Props’
Proposition betting on golf is usually restricted to the major events but it is becoming more and more common. Propositions on longest drive, closest to pin and fewest putts are only a few of the many betting opportunities offered. The Internet has even made possible live proposition bets during the event on a hole-to-hole basis. This kind of wagering is fast moving and can be very rewarding if you know your subject.
Betting On Novelty Events Revealed
If you are not interested in Internet betting on sporting events then you may wish to bet on what the betting industry refers to as ‘novelty events’. For example, you can bet on whether you think it will snow on Christmas Day, or who will win the next Eurovision Song Contest! Many of these events are events which you could never bet on in the pre-Internet days. The Internet has made it possible by opening up markets of sufficient size to make it viable and profitable.

Here is a list of just some of the novelty events you can choose to bet on:

•    US Presidential Elections
•    UK General Elections
•    The X Factor
•    Olympic Hosts
•    Next James Bond
•    BBC Sports Personality of the Year
•    White Christmas
•    Christmas Number One Record
•    Brit Awards
•    Miss World
•    Big Brother
•    Eurovision Song Content
•    FHM High Street Honeys
•    Oscars
•    Golden Globe
•    Pop Idol
•    I’m A Celebrity
•    Mercury Music Prize
•    Weather/Temperature
•    Booker Prize
•    Nobel Prize

Here are a few pointers to bear in mind about novelty betting on the Internet:

•    Do not be misled by the fun nature of novelty betting. Bookmakers love to offer these bets because it detracts from the serious nature of betting. However, you should take it as seriously as any other event.

•    Know your subject thoroughly. And if the subject is obscure there is always an opportunity to understand it better than the bookmakers and thus find incredible odds. Look for areas based on subjective rather than objective information. (For example, the weather might be difficult to predict but it is not an obscure subject, as it is based on objective meteorological data.)

•    Due to their nature (i.e. General Elections) not all bets are offered continuously. In order to be able to accumulate expertise and find attractive bets on a regular basis try to specialise in an area rather than a type of bet, eg. politics not just elections.

•    There is often less competition in novelty betting, so you must look harder to find value. For example, only 16 UK bookmakers regularly offer novelty bets. Don’t forget exchange betting (see later).

•    Novelty betting is generally more risky, so you may want to use a smaller bank.

•    Odds in novelty betting are generally wider, so there can be better potential for arbitraging (see later).

•    Check the rules relating to novelty bets with all the individual bookmakers you intend to use. Rules for novelty betting vary much more widely than other kinds of bets, and there may be exclusions which prohibit or restrict certain ‘dead cert.’ opportunities.
Spread Betting: What It Is and How It Works
Spread betting, also known as ‘index betting’, is a comparatively new method of wagering on sports and other events. Although spread betting has always been possible this is another case of how the Internet has opened up more and better possibilities to average punters.

The concept of spread betting is a simple and straightforward system which rewards correct selections based upon how accurate they were – but also penalises incorrect selections based upon how wrong they were.

For example, assume you want to bet on a rugby match between fictitious teams called the ‘Lions’ and the ‘Tigers’ where the index is set on the total number of points scored by both teams combined – in this example 46-49. What this means is that the index maker believes that between 46 and 49 total points will be scored in the game. In order to wager the player must decide if they want to take a position below 46 or above 49. This means that if you believe there will be more than 49 points scored you can ‘buy’ at that number (e.g. £10 per point) and will win based on how many points above the number the total ends at. On the other hand, if the total falls below 49 you will lose according to how many points under the number it is. The same holds true for gamblers who predict a low scoring game and ‘sell’ at 46. These players will also be rewarded or penalised based upon how good their scoring prediction is.

The amount won or lost on any spread bet is based upon the stake the player makes when they take their position. If a person ‘buys’ over 49 at £10 per point they will be paid £10 for every point over 49 in the game. Conversely, if the total falls below 49 the player will have to pay £10 for every point below 49. The same holds true for sellers who take the low side except that they are paid for every point below 46 and lose for every point above the number.

For example:

Index: Total Points in Game Lions/Tigers 46-49.

Wager: Buying at 49 (prediction of over 49) for £10.

Final game result: 42 points (7 less than the predicted over number).

Player’s Gain/Loss: Player loses £70 (7 x £10 = £70).

On the other hand, a player who sold £10 at 46 would be a £40 winner because the total was four less than the predicted under number and 4 x £10 = £40.

It is important to note that wins and losses are highly variable in spread betting and careful management is necessary in order to prevent substantial losses. Internet betting makes it easy to use stop-loss facilities, offered by most bookmakers, where a pre-set loss limit is put into place. However, this is not always the case and due to the nature of sports where anything can happen, it is very important to only wager what you can afford to lose even in the worst case situation.
Arbitrage Betting: What It Is and How It Works
Arbitrage betting (also known as scalps, sure bets and risk free bets) is something that has always been possible. However, the Internet – together with the widespread availability of tax free betting – has made it easier and accessible to almost everyone - including those who don’t know much about betting and the event in question, and those who aren’t particularly interested in the principles of arbitrage!

A simple way to think of arbitrage is the bet that always wins! Regardless of the outcome of the event you always win, because you can never lose. However, what many people do not realise is that this is because you are really not betting at all …. you’re trading.

Arbitrage can best be explained by means of an example:

You decide to look for arbitrage opportunities (or ‘arbs.’ as they are known) in the forthcoming Utopia Open Tennis Tournament Final featuring Aiden Arthur against Bobby Bolder. You check out the bookmaker’s odds and then place two bets over the Internet, with two bookmakers, as follows:

£500 on Aidan Arthur with bookmaker X at odds of 1/1.

£400 on Bobby Bolder with bookmaker Y at odds of 6/4.

The total amount you have bet is £900.

If Arthur wins you get £1,000 from bookmaker X (£500 win + £500 stake returned).

If Bolder wins you get £1,000 from bookmaker Y (£600 win + £400 stake returned).

So your profit, no matter who wins, is £100 (£1,000 winnings - £900 stake)!

Of course, this process has always been possible. But the Internet allows you to compare odds from dozens (or even hundreds or thousands) of bookmakers to find arbitrage opportunities. Then place a large volume of bets and repeat the process on a regular basis so that small, often tiny, but regular wins can all build up into a significant profit. Today, there are also many PC programs (such as ArbCalculator) which allow you to collect, store and calculate the information you need to make spotting and managing your arbs. relatively straightforward.
Arbitrage Made Simpler
From a practical point of view, arbitrage opportunities are easiest to find where there are four or fewer possible outcomes. There is a huge range of events, sporting and non-sporting, where you can take advantage of this kind of scenario. Some of the best opportunities arise in:

•    Football
•    Tennis
•    Golf, especially competitions where players are playing head-to-head such as in two ball and three ball tournaments.
•    Cricket, usually one-day competitions.
•    Snooker
•    Darts
•    Boxing
•    American Football

In the case of football, note that it can be hard to find arbs. in UK football since so much money is involved that the bookmakers can afford to put a lot of effort and money into ensuring these profit-taking opportunities don’t occur too often. Non-UK football offers better potential. Also note that some sports (especially American football and rugby union) are often handicapped. Before considering bets on these events it is important to take any handicap into account.

Horse race betting doesn’t have good potential for arbitrage, mainly because there are so many outcomes (ie. potential winners) that it makes it difficult to plan and manage your bets.

Arbitrage opportunities occur for a number of reasons. These include differences of opinions between bookmakers or a bookmaker anticipates taking on too much money for a player/team. These differences occur both nationally and, more often, internationally, and the Internet allows you to easily see where foreign bookmakers may be offering odds that are ‘too generous’. Bookmakers do not forbid arbitrage-based bets (since arbitragers lose money as well as win it) and, in many cases, will never know what you are doing since only half of your bet is with any one bookmaker.

These opportunities are practically infinite. On certain days you may need to look a bit deeper than the popular arbitrage yielding sports like football, tennis and golf. Other types of opportunities with good potential for arbitraging include novelty events such as political elections or Big Brother evictions and so on.

The key to arbitrage success lies in converting a bookmaker’s odds into a percentage. If after adding up the percentages for each leg of the event your total percentage is less than 100 (called an ‘under round’ book) you have found an arbitrage opportunity!

In the example above:

Odds of 1/1 are equivalent to a percentage of 50%.

Odds of 6/4 are equivalent to a percentage of 40%.

The total percentage is 90 (50 + 40). Therefore you have ‘landed an arb.’, as it is called.
NB. The arbitrage percentage is 100 minus the total percentage. In our example this is 10% (100-90). The greater this percentage, the larger will be your profits for the same amount staked. However, you can still turn a profit with a much smaller margin.

To have a good chance of succeeding in arbitrage most experts recommend that you will need accounts with at least 25 Internet bookmakers. One consequence of this is that your money may be spread more thinly than otherwise, or you may need more money to invest. (But bear in mind that in theory at least you should never lose your money as it is essentially working capital or an investment and not a bet.)

You can start with any sum but tests have shown that if you have approximately £300-£500 working capital you can expect to generate a profit of £10 per week, £3,000-£5,000 working capital a profit of £100 per week and £7,000 working capital proportionately much more – £300+ a week or £15,600 a year.
Arbitrage Risks and How To Minimise Them
Arbitraging involves several risk factors which do not occur in conventional forms of betting. Here are the main ones and how to deal with them:

•    Prices move before you place all your bets: Place your bets swiftly – Internet betting makes this possible. Use a procedure for covering your exposure, to minimise any losses that do occur because of this.

•    The bookmaker realises they have made ‘a mistake’ in their odds and voids a bet: Be slightly suspicious when a price seems to be a glaring error rather than just a modest but worthwhile difference. Bookmakers are entitled to do this, although often do not.

•    Bookmakers’ differing rules lead to a loss: Bookmakers have different rules, especially relating to ‘unusual’ situations such as player withdrawals, or deciding ties. Make sure you know each bookmaker’s terms and conditions before you place an arbitrage-inspired bet with them.

•    One bookmaker limits your stake, leaving your arb. unbalanced and exposing you to loss: Know bookmakers’ likely betting limits in advance and work within them. Use a procedure for covering your exposure, to minimise any losses that do occur because of this.

•    You bet on the wrong team, player etc. accidentally or miscalculate the odds!: Keep a careful record of the arbs. you create – use a computer program if you need to. Double check every bet you consider placing.
Further Information
The more you know about arbitrage the easier it becomes to spot and calculate opportunities. There are many Internet sites offering further information, some of which are listed at the end of this lesson.
Betting Exchanges: What They Are and How They Work
Betting exchanges are a type of betting opportunity which has been opened up almost solely because of the Internet. You could always ‘exchange bet’ but in the pre-Internet days it was almost impossible for the small-scale, home-based punter to do so effectively.

A betting exchange is a website on which an individual can either place bets or accept bets on an event with another punter, not a bookmaker. So, essentially, the customers themselves act as bookmakers. As well as betting in the normal way you can offer bets at odds which you determine and encourage others to take up your bet.

The main reason for using betting exchanges is that you will get better odds than at the bookmakers. Despite commission payable on winnings, typically 5%, the odds available with exchanges are frequently more favourable since there is technically no overround to overcome. Individuals such as yourself are prepared to give better odds. For example, checks have shown that at one major betting exchange, Betfair, odds are consistently around 20% better than a High Street bookmaker.
Exchange Betting Made Simpler
It is essential to use a reputable and reliable betting exchange. The most well known online betting exchange is Betfair. The risk of using a less reputable exchange, are that the bets may not be constructed properly and you may lose your stake, winnings and deposited funds. Betfair ‘ring fence’ all client deposits in a separate company and refer all disputes to the Independent Betting Arbitration Service (IBAS) in the UK.

One risk of using a betting exchange is that you could find yourself betting against a person who is ‘in the know’ or who is able to influence the result (to your detriment). For this reason, some expert exchange betters avoid exchange betting in areas which have acquired something of a reputation for insider dealing, such as horse racing.

To get started with betting exchanges, you have to open an account at websites that are offering this kind of betting. This works in much the same way as operating an account with a conventional bookmaker. Betting exchanges make their profit by levying a commission on the winner’s winnings. For example, Betfair levy a 5% commission which is one of the highest around, although it does reduce to 2% if you use the exchange a lot. This percentage is much lower then a regular bookmaker’s profit margin of at least 10% and, of course, the odds are not compromised by the overround.

After opening an account at betting exchange websites, decide if you would like to act as a bookmaker or as a ‘regular punter’. Bear in mind that if you act as a regular punter, your risk is similar to betting with a bookmaker, except that you can obtain much better odds. However, if you choose to act as a bookmaker your risk is higher.

Betting exchanges operate around the basic terminology of buys (or backs) and lays. When you back or buy you bet on an event for which others have presented the odds. If the team/event you’ve backed wins, you will win your stake multiplied by the odds that were offered (minus commission). When you act as bookmaker, you will lay or offer odds on some event that you choose, hoping that the team or event you lay odds on will fail.
How To Buy
The best way to approach buying is when you have a firm belief on a particular event but are not satisfied with available odds from conventional bookmakers. Let’s say that on the regular market, the best offer for a draw in an international football match between Italy and France is 2.80. (Betting exchanges typically use decimal odds.) You have checked betting exchanges and find odds of 2.90 which you feel are good value. Then you should back a bet or buy a bet. The procedure is the same as with Internet bookmakers. You click on your event, place a bet, enter your stake and wait for the final result.

However, Internet exchanges offer a further interesting possibility. If you are not satisfied with the odds currently on offer you can make a back order. Let’s say that the available odds are not good enough for you, and that you want to place a bet at odds of 3.10. Then you can make a back order for 3.10 for your potential stake – £100 for example. Now you simply wait until someone else is ready to lay £100 on a draw in this match at 3.10. When they do, your individual bets (or orders) will match and your bet is placed. (If someone lays £30 on 3.10 on this event then this £30 will match with yours and the rest of your bet –£70 – will be available for someone else to lay.)
How To Lay
The simplest way to approach laying is to look for an event (or person) you believe will fail. Most people find that it is much easier, psychologically as well as practically, to pick a horse to lose in a race!

Using a football example, assume you are looking at the Premiership. You feel that Liverpool will lose against Portsmouth next Saturday. First, look at the available odds on the market for this game and then create your own odds. Let’s say that you are ready to offer odds at 1.50 for this match and that you are prepared to accept bets up to £100 on this event. You lay your offer on the betting exchange and wait for answers.

Since you are offering much better odds than regular bookmakers, you will very probably find that someone accepts your offer and covers it with £100. (Alternatively several punters may cover it with smaller stakes, but cannot exceed your limit.)

All you have to do now is wait for the match to be played. If Liverpool win, you will lose 1.50 x £100 from your account. If Liverpool lose then you will win £100. (Note that the person who wins pays the commission.)

With a betting exchange you can also change odds. If, for example, your offer of 1.50 on Liverpool in this match did not attract any custom then you might change your odds. You could consider, for example, increasing your offer to 1.60, but only accept bets up to £80, in order to limit your risk even though you are offering more tempting odds. Also, if you see after a while that someone backed Liverpool at 1.65 with £20 you can increase your offer to 1.65. On most betting exchanges you can also operate in in-running events. The Internet makes this possible quickly and easily. You can, of course, lose money but you can also make a lot.

Whether you have ‘bought’ or ‘laid’, at the conclusion of the event the betting exchange site takes the result, works out the winnings and credits the appropriate account.

WAIT
If you are serious about gambling on the net, I am currently reviewing a new and apparently widely acclaimed system.

I have only just started reviewing it so I can't comment on it at the moment, but the guy who has created this is a phd graduate and has many testimonials saying how great this system is.

UPDATE

I signed up to the course and had to confirm my request to recieve further emails.

I then waited about 10 mins for another email giving me instructions as to how to set up an account with a major online betting company.

I was asked to reply to the email when I had set up and funded the account.

To fund the account, I was given a phone number to ring and a promo code which should have give me an extra 55% on what I deposited.

However I only wanted to deposit $50 (which was met with a disbelieving "How much??"
I was told that this would not cover the bets and also that the 55% bonus applies to deposits of $100 or more.

Under normal circumstances I would probably have upped the deposit, BUT in the sales letter on the page for this product it specifically mentions that you can get started for less than $100.

SO I have been pedantic and gone with the $50 and lost out on the added 55% just to see if this system is for the little guy as well as the big hitters.

I then sent the reply email stating I had set up the account and waited around 12 to 15 hours to get a reply.

The reply came with three pdf's for betting systems. two were the main systems each claiming a 97% success rate, one was a bonus for american football.

The two main ones were about baseball and basketball.

Now, I know about rugby, and I know about boxing, but I know absolutely nothing about baseball, basketball or American football.

So The first thing I need to do is have a look over this course and try to learn the basics.

I will let you know how I get on.

You might want to have a look yourself, if you get hold of it, let me know how you get on.

If you sign up to the system and work it out before I post anything else, let me know by emailing me (email address is at the bottom of the home page - lifestyle publications)

If you have any comments about the system let me know and I will publish them on this page
