anything for us UK people?
@@jonnyjai1314 There is if you still have your soft bookies accounts. Even better if you have lost money with them.
@@jonnyjai1314 certainly there are some something similar for the UK. 👉📥👈 👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿
@@-Shane_huang88 is there any email i can reach out to you?
Any thing for southest asia? Thanks for your videos
I am more confused than when I arrived.
😂😂
Same. This was not explained at a beginner level
Same
For a better explanation, buy the book "The Logic of Sports Betting". It goes over all of this and includes a lot of very popular myths about betting.
😂😂😂😂😂 I peeped that
I have clearly understood this. Thanks. The smaller the odd the higher the chances of that team winning. If you meet a big odd then know the chances are very low of the team winning.
i knew you was a savage with it when i seen you didnt even iron your shirt lol
Solid advice! Been using it for a while and it's definitely improved my bets. Thanks!
This man sounds super intelligent, and deep in the knowledge.
My worry is, often times this kind of people may not be able to translate knowledge into wealth for others.
How do I profit from what u know sir? Please reply.
If you want to make money, don't gamble
As the dude said, find prices that are lower than the odds and you've profited, theoretically.
Do this hundreds of thousands of times, and the variance is gone and you profit.
@@jumpsmcgeeIf you want money, dont invest, theres always a risk on it also dont save up money because you still lose some with inflation
Life is life. @@kducem
This mindset is a sure way to lose your money to guys like him
thank u for this. this is what i've been missing to understand
im still finding it almost impossible to find arbitrage oppurtunities, seems like all the bookies are working in tandem with eachother
It is easier to find them in obscure leagues and sports.
gotta use software like oddsjam which scans through all odds and finds opportunities since there’s millions of odds and you’re extremely unlikely to find them manually
I have tried countless times to simulate different outcomes based on the bookies odds number using probability & realistic mathematical equations to predict successful outcomes with the favorites & UNDERDOGS, but it came to my conclusion that you have to bet to be prepared for every outcome not just bet to win you have to bet to lose…and that’s when the luck comes in…….or not haha
@@xevaded 👌
That is not true, there are countless sure bets everyday but the problem is the bookies. Do not bother, even if you find opportunities you will get limited by them. In other words you cannot make serious money with arbs.
Sorry for my ignorance, but if the bookmaker price is the price shown in the platform, how do you know the fair price? Just through specific Betting Exchange platforms?
I used X2 to watch this and I like the fact I didn't understand it. Never bet before and scared to but desire to know how it works, yet scared to.
Well explained! Keep making money betting!
I can easily understand that listed odds of 1.8 means 1 / 1.8, but I don't understand how the "American" system works. What does +500 / -1000 mean?
-1000 is 10 to 1; you must risk $1000 to win $100. @ +500 a $100 bet will win $500.
@@nachobitchazz4888 Thank you for the explanation.
Never ever bet before:
I thought I could bet on Tyson / Paul next fight.
First video I watch about this subject, I'm totally new on this.
And I must say that it is not as simple as I first thought.
First wall is to be able to decipher odds: it is 100% not understandable at first sight.
WISPRED Sports Group, youre nailing it with your predictions! Im amazed at how match insights can lead to financial rewards. Lets keep the wins coming! ⚽️?

hi
I didn't understand something, in American odds we have +333 which represent the profit you will make if you risk $100 but what about -125? it doesn't make sense because you will risk $125 to win $100 which will result in total payout of $225, and that doesn't match the decimal result which says that if you risk $100 you will get $80 in profit which result in a total payout of $180 !!! any explanation ???
I just came across this video and was thinking the same thing. I've gone on several odds conversion payouts calculators and am feeling like an idiot or something is wrong. The payout should be 1.90.
You are not risking 125 though, therefore you are not winning 100. You are risking 100 and winning 80 (since 80 x 1.25 equals 100 or if you rearrange the equation 100 / 1.25 = 80).
Simply put to calculate what you will win: +333 means multiply your bet by 3.33 and -125 means divide your bet by 1.25. Then, the return is this number + your original bet back of course. So 433 in the former and 180 in the latter.
Please make a video on upcoming WIMBLEDON and chances of Arbitrage bets on this tournament
Forget about arbitrage, you will get limited by companies so do not waste your energy and time there, it does not worth it.
If you cannot make money in the exchange markets it is not worth you energy and effort.
@@aggelost3103 just stake with round figures don't use after decimal amount , you will never get restricted for sure 👍
Searched “betting odds explained.” A video with a pretty blond appeared 1st. Shane’s video appeared 2nd. Obviously I clicked on Shane. Call it a hunch.
Bet with your head not your heart!
Same here lmao
When you find a good deal, watch out. You are getting a good mathematical deal for a reason. Sports games are fixed. Therefore you should find bad deals and bet on them. These bookies and casinos are not stupid. When the worst team is a favorite, you should bet it. You should bet against the money. Games are fixed in many different ways. Baseball is fixed largely by the home plate umpire. Even one strike call on a bad pitch can make a huge difference. The Giants beat the Padres 7-4 on a homer by Yastrzemski. He hit it on a 3-1 pitch. I’m willing to bet that he doesn’t hit it on a 2-2 pitch. I understand that you can make money finding games that are offered at a huge variety of odds by betting the underdog at huge odds at one site, and betting the favorite at any other site that’s favored by the least amount. Sure you can win slowly that way regardless of the outcome. But it’s human nature to be greedy. The casinos are greedy. If they can intone the public to bet more heavily one one side, they will call it in and make that side lose. So if you can read into them, you can absolutely destroy them for a huge percentage overall.
@luckyjet666 that’s why you bet against the money
Show your overall profit then boss. But I do agree with your sentiment somewhat, for example the odds boost plays that seem like they are so free, however rarely hit…
@@shxco4176 my brother has beaten the race track by betting on what looks to be bad bets to the public. He losses more often than he wins, but his wins more than makes up for his losses in the long run. I’ve gone with him several times to see that almost all his horses seem to be always close to winning. This is why he hits many exactas and trifectas. The race track takes nearly 20% of the money, so he should not even be close to winning in the long run. My point is that these sports games and races are fixed. So the way to beat them is to read into it and get into the minds of those who know ahead of time which side is winning.
@@emmanuelvacakis4463 Bullshit simple and raw. There is only a very small percentage of races and matches that are fixed. 99% of them are random with their own implied probabilities. There are only 2 ways for someone to make sports betting profitable. Number 1 is work hard test and create math models to give you accurate fair odds and bet only on value odds. Number 2 is courtsiding but you need access to Betfair exchange and a guy in the stadium to gain 2-3 seconds edge and trade the market with large sums. Secong way is much easier but you need connections to make it happen.
Brother can you explain about football betting...how can we win if we can understand the odds?
Can I buy your course even if I live in Italy? Or its specifically for us betting strategies?
Is there any way to beat the bookies with their own odds? Calculating true odds using only their probability?
That doesnt make sense. How can you calculate true odds based on one set of odds. +EV Odds are calculated by taking the odds from a bunch of very sharp bookies and comparing them to soft bookies. You cant know the true odds by just looking at soft bookie odds, because soft bookie odds are by default not true
@@MrKrustenyou got a great point but there are trends and tells within the sports book lines for some dfs that give you tips on who to pick to win
The bookie is just an intermediary. This is like saying, is there a way to beat the broker. He’s just there to get you shares. It’s a service and you have to pay the toll. Now, with online sports betting, the overhead is lower so you have less bookie(broker) costs. Like how robinhood changed investing. Anyway. Stop gambling
@Bet365Fixed yes
Wait guys the betshare where can I get that comparison I like it
What if i bet on over/under Goals
Example: Liverpool vs West ham
Over 1.5 Goals @2.3
Since there is only 2 outcomes fair odds would be 2.0 correct?
So backing at 2.32 would be a value bet or am i wrong?
You are wrong! If it was that simple we all would live from betting, however only a very small percentage succeed.
If your example was true then yes that would be a value bet. But saying every market with 2 outcomes is decimal 2.00 fair odds is not correct. If you ever find 2.30 decimal in a Premier League match in over 1.5 market i suggest you to bet your whole life lol. It will never happen...
Over 1.5 mean 2 goals must be scored or above
@@aggelost3103 Live betting it does
before match odds is typical 1.25 for over 1.5 goals but why would you ever bet that when it's not a fair price?
so waiting for the halftime 0-0 and then odds should be above 2 which should be value now??
@@betbeast9372 Still not correct but thanks you remembered to reply to me after 1 year lol. If you do not have accurate model to calculate true odds per minute in a football game forget about profiting in the Exchanges.
Many guys are professionals in the Exchanges so ask yourself if you can do better than them.
The answer is no, so you need to learn much more to be able to profit in the markets. A good start is to pay for a value bet service and hit your soft bookies first.
But exchanges as i said is a very different story.
can someone explain the math on 3:56 i dont get it.
i got $5.04 instead of $5.01
i multiplied (55.6 x 1.8) - (52.8 x 1.8) = $5.04
i dont kno where $94.99 or $5.01 came from
Not sure why you needed to multiply 55.6 by 1.8 again - you already divided 1/1.8 to convert the odds to percentages. But I think you're still right, if you pay $100 for a 55.6% chance but it's really only a 52.8 chance, then you've paid $100 for 52.8/55.6 = 94.96 so you lost 5.04 rather than 5.01.
Well explained, great job 🔥
Glad you liked it!
hi is there any time difference in online roulette (evolutionary gaming) between 2 countries
Great video brother ❤❤❤
How does an odds compiler formulate the price in an Asian handicap market ..for example, team B are win 3/1 away from home but you want to bet on +1 goal .,. how is the new price formulated is a predetermined percentage that you take off the original price any input will be appreciated
what does it mean, if my parley ticket says .. pk or -3-110 or +300?
Sometime i just want to hide the odds thing cuz sometimes it influence my decision
thanks for this helpful video explaining odds
great! thanks for your explanation
decimal odds are the easiest to look at imo
Yea agreed
yeah i still dont understabd american
What does it mean in American Odds if both numbers are negative?
For example, tomorrow 03/07/24 the Celtics play the Nuggets and Jaylen Brown's points line currently says Over 21.5 -120 / Under 21.5 -110 on DraftKings.
How would both lines be favorites? Does this imply that he's a favorite to go over 21.5 but a better favorite to go under 21.5?
Well explained, great job
When will your video on you vs papaya on the Ext2 HSC be out?
No iron available for that shirt?
Cant afford to buy one
omg ahahahha like how can you even see that
😂
No manners available for that comment!?
he had to put (1) Iron in order to make $100 from a bet… best bookie odds ever!
In Africa so far so good we don't risks alot of money instead we add lots of team in one slip maybe 15 team less stake the strategy always works. Betting is easy money in Africa
Example?
Please do video on the mah used at a slightly slower rate.
For mentally handicapped can slow down youtube videos like .75 or .50 upper right corner if mobile app ⚙️
What are the odds of him not having an iron
100%!
Why is there so little focus on actually spotting trend in the game/teams? When you start out searching for a pay less to the bookie "strategy" instead of knowing what is happening in the games, it won't work. The assumption is that you are only going to get 50% of your bets (big money)right so focus on the small money?!
bruv all the knowledge you could possibly gain by doing research is priced in. as he said at the end f the video, the only winning strategy is to collect bonuses or other promotions
