I. Sports marketing basis

Sports marketing term came from sports betting. Whole, world betting market are

very dynamic and often reminds stock and currency markets, right now. Changes in

the odds resulting medium of trade and make a big money without any risk.

The whole essence of sports marketing is to buy a bet (back) with bigger odd, and

sell it(lay) with less. Many gamblers in the world moves to sports marketing in the

end. This way is much more safer and unlike sports betting, allows you to control

the situation. Quite a few of them find their nyches and make money, using other

sports marketing naiviety and inexpierence. What is nessesary to be successfull in

sports marketing? You must to have knowledge of sports, knowledge of numbers

and be well prapared psychologically. You will find everything about it in this book.

The first online sports marketing concept applied sports betting company Betfair in

United Kingdom. Currently, this company is the largest sports marketing in the world

and in this book we will use examples of exactly Betfair company.

Back and Lay functions are the most imporant things in sports

marketing

You must to know these concepts, before you start to study sports marketing.

Although it might seems a little complicated at first sight, but in fact everything is

very simple.

Back - traditional bet, when you are betting on the outcome of a particular event.

In the example, below you are betting for the victory of David Ferrer(back). The best

odds you can get is 1.26 at the moment. That means that if you bet € 300 on it, you

win € 78 (minus commissions). Your potential winning or defeat you can always see

below the names of the following players / names.

The higher odds you will get, the bigger profit you will have if you win. If you are not

satisfied with odds, you can raise it as much as you like. You may have to wait until

the bet will be accredited, but there is no guarantee that this will happen. If odds

will not move to the right dirrection – your bet will be not accepted. As long as other

marketing participant has not taken your bet, betfair notes these bets as

Unmatched(example below).

Let's say you're introducing an odds 1.34. It is enough under the current market. If

something unexpected will not happen(for example : it turns out that Raonic unwell)

probably your bet will reamain not taken before a game. You can always cancel

7 | P a g e

7

Unmatched bets, by clicking x in the red background or “Cancel all unmatched“(in

this case, if you have more than one unmatched bet, there will be canceled all)

So if you have ever involved in betting with a tradittional bookmaker, probably you

already see, that Back bets are exactly the same. The difference is that, that from

the prize money you will have to pay a commission(5% in most cases, depending on

your collected Betfair Points). But even in this case, the odds are almost always

higher in Betfair market.

Lay – reverse Back, you accept bets from other market participants. So you bet

that a certain outcome of an event will not happen.

The best It would be, just to show a real example, so let‘s take the same Ferrer-

Raonic match. The gambler make a Lay bet on Ferrer(he bets that he will not win).

The lowest available odds is 1.27. After recording an amount( 300 € in the example),

system shows us LIABILITY (81 €), this is the amount by which we are at risk. The

lower odds is, the lower our risk amount. The winning amount will be equal to the

entered amount, to say as much as any other player will bet.

So, as you can see, you found yourself on the otherside. You are acting as

bookmaker : offering odds and other gamblers bet on it (make Back bets).

8 | P a g e

8

Do not make the common mistake of newcomers. Some people think, that if he

lays 50 € in odds 8.0 and that event loses, he receives 400 €. It‘s not a Back bet,

where your winnings obtained by multiplying odds and a specified amount. A

winning like this is paid for a Backer(man who make Back bets) the man who bet

for your odds. In the case you should pay 350 €(if the event is winned) and win 50

€ (if the event you Layed is lost).

If you do not want to accept bets for existing lowest odds, you can enter your own.

For reasons of diversity, I will show you an example to illustrate a situation with

Raonic. The minimum odds is 4.8 in the market. But a gambler has entered a much

lower - 3.00. If the bet will be accepted(small chance it will be, because It‘s too low

odds). “Liability“ (the amount at stake to lose) is 600 €, and the winning amount, the

same you entered – 300 €.

So, you shouldn‘t be afraid of Lay bets, because it's not a big deal and you are in full

control of the situation. I would advise, that some times don‘t rush to take the

already existing odds, better It‘s offer yours, with slightly smaller odds. You can do

the same with a Back, enter one or two points higher odds. Most of the successful

bookmakers earn money using lay function and acting as a betting company.

Numbers under the odds is the amounts, which you can bet that moment.

How to read event information

Technical data of the odds

Use this tool, to make a better picture of the odds and the direction of movement of

money. Good technical analysis of the event can say a lot about the market

participants views and actions.

To open the window of event click on the chart Icons to the participant's name /

title.

You will see the odds movement schedule in the newly opened window, accepted

bets(matched) amounts, waiting bets(unmatched) amounts and odds.

10 | P a g e

10

Betting on - I opened Mardy Fish window before running the model. In this section,

you can choose any other participant.

Total matched on this event - this column shows the total amount of money is

accepted in this event, including all the participants.

Betting summary - Volume - taken money for this particular participant (in this

example, M. Fish). As you can see, the favorite is the more popular in trade market

and betting(out of the total amount of € 109,911 betted for the favorite is € 97,091).

This is a normal situation in the Betfair market.

Last price matched - odds, which was carried out last bet. The current price of the

event.

The graph shows from which odds trade began and how it evolved to it‘s current

point. This can be a great tool predicting further odds movement, but you should be

able to apply technical analysis schedule, set the trend, support and resistance

11 | P a g e

11

levels. Technical analysis is more adapted to the horse races, than to other sports

events.

Volume columns show how much money has been accepted for a certain odds. High

volume reveals a popular cost, which longer stays in market.

You can see, how activity grows quickly on leading participant, in live betting. This is

because people tend to Lay reduced odds.

The table on the right provides information about the exact rates and amounts.

12 | P a g e

12

To read this table is very simple. To back and To lay amounts in the collumns shows

how much money is currently available for the bet on the participant a certain price.

Traded value in the column indicates how much money has already adopted a

certain odds (price).

The odds and the prices are the same, however this concept has the inverse

proportion. If the odds are low, it say that the price is high, and vice versa. Much

more about this later.

How to use this data?

As you can see in the table, the maximum amount is in to back column at an odds

1.57(2.728 €). That means, that gamblers are tend to lay this event. Considering to

weight of money principles odds should move up. Why? Because, thet more money

goes against M. Fish. Gamblers want to lay on current price (and near) bigger money

than place back.

If try to say simplier, it is more sellers than buyers(at least at this time and at this

price).

Another way to use this data is adapting the technical analysis charts. As I

mentioned before, this strategy applies only to horse racing, where trade is more

akin to a numbers game.

13 | P a g e

13

Book Percentage calculating

Book% indicates the quality of the odds

How is it calculated and how adapt it to your trade? Perhaps, your eyes has

stumbled at the numbers when you started learning marketing on Betfair market.

It‘s not difficult to understand these figures as it might seem at first glance.

Let‘s take the first example :

BACK

Book % back side is 100.3%. I will show you the simplest calculation(as obtained by

this number). Odds for both sides are 2.04 and 1.95. Imagine, that we place bet for

both players, to win 100 €.

N. Djokovic: €100 / 2.04 = €49.02

J.W. Tsonga: €100 / 1.95 = €51.28

€49.02 + €51.28 = €100.3 (full bet)

Shortly, if we back both players, we will bet 100.3 €, to receive 100 €. That means,

that odds at back side is is relatively high quality.

14 | P a g e

14

So the payoff, of this event is : (€100 / €100.3) *100% = 99.7% ! Have you ever seen

such a small profit margin. Despite a 5% commission, It‘s still substantial benefit.

Book Percentage back side will always be slightly above 100%. If you manage to find

less than 100% hence there is chance for arbitration and take profit immediately(bet

on all the outcomes). However, chances like this is rare in betting market and if it

occurs only very briefly. 100 % book percentage means that the profit margin for

this event is 0(bet for all outcomes you will staty “on your own“).

Tip: Look for the smallest possible book %, if you back your outcome(100.3 is very

low).

LAY

Let's take an example from the same market.

Odds are 2.06 and 1.96 in the lay side. Make that same calculation.

N. Djokovic: €100/2.06=€48.54

J.W. Tsonga: €100/1.96=€51.02

€48.54 + €51.02 = €99.6 (book percentage)

So, if we will lay both sides, we will lose 100 €, to win 99.6 €. Book % and an event

payout in lay side is the same.

Typically, book % will be far below 100, in the lay side. The higher number than 100

indicates that there are arbitrage opportunity and to lay all outcomes you can get

fast profit with out any risk. But as the back side of this situation it is very rare.

15 | P a g e

15

Tip: if you want to make a lay bet, look for a higher percentage book (99.6% is high

enough).

16 | P a g e

Bet or trade?

Betfair trading and betting differences

Bet and trade. These two concepts are intertwined in Betfair market. I will try to give

you a brief and clearly set out what is trade and how it differs from betting.

The main difference is that, that in the trade you cover your bets. Lay function

allows you to do that, when you accept a bet from another player's / trader. In

trade, all bets are closed, thereby reducing the losing (failure of trading) or securing

gains (successful sale).

Your goal – is to make that every event bring you profit.

Here is an example of successful trading:

Outcome was layed for 2.22 and backed for 4.30. Bet successfully closed and the

profit is guaranteed. No matter how game will end I still will have profit. €24 or

€24,80. This trade was made using football draw 2nd strategy(which I will talk later).

Similarities with Betfair trading and stock exchange market

Do you earn a lot or a little depends on your capital and stubbornness. Earnings

achieved in the same way as everywhere - buy cheap, sell expensive. Translated into

Betfair language it would be: Lay low coefficient and back it in big.

Prices are odds. The odds are higher, the lower the price, then you need to back it

(currency and stock market to buy or long term). When the odds are small, its high

price, then you need to lay it(sell or short).

17 | P a g e

17

All prices are regulated by the same law. Supply and demand. The more people who

believe in one or the other outcome probability, the more money goes to her side.

Market reacts and odds optimize.

What affects the supply and demand?

Sports news often shock Betfair prices. Depending on what the news was

announced, the odds may vary slightly or greatly. If you follow very closely all the

news and react quickly, you can often profit from the coefficients of variation.

The stock manipulators also influences Betfair prices. They enter the very large sums

hoping to influence the market. In fact, they are not going to bet these amounts, it is

only intended to influence the actions of traders. For example manipulator

introduces a large amount (about € 30 000) into Lay tab on less odds than people

bet. In this way, they want to mislead, that a large amount of money goes against

this outcome. Small traders have begun to respond – they start laying. In this way,

artifficaly raised rate. Manipulator back, and cancels its big, misleading bet. Prices

gradually returned to previous levels. The manipulator can lay and then ensure his

profit.

There are basically a lot of reasons why prices change, but the core has always been

and is - the majority opinion.

Why trade and the Betfair betting exchange is intertwined?

The reason is that a large part of Betfair customers are not traders. They are simply

gamblers, who have an account and wish to bet on their favorite teams with good

odds. These people do not care about trade, they objectively assess the participants'

capabilities and distribute the money according to the principle of sport.

Betfair exchange coefficients always very accurate. Traders and manipulators can

not influence them too sharply. If something will drop very big money to one or

other side, hoping to undercut severely / lift coefficient, it will face strong

resistance. If there is no real reason for the price changes, people began to trade

between the bookmaker and Betfair (that I have done hundreds of times, well

earned, for this strategy to be able to read the next entry) and maintain balance.

Therefore, I would advise traders not to rely solely technical analysis and tricks,

sports knowledge is more important.

By applying this book to learn the trade principles and strategies, and uses your

knowledge of sports, you can earn a lot of Betfair trading.

„Success secret“

Magic Betfair strategies

Do not believe any of the prophets proclaim that can make

you a millionaire in one day. Betfair Exchange is very large

and tempting, so it's a great niche for fraudsters to "sell" their

proposals. They're trying to sell people the hope of earning a

lot of money.

I guaranteed that you have ever saw a post in internet : „5000 € per week without

leaving home! "Or" I quit work, I took this strategy, last month paid all the debts."

Such banners are hundreds and even thousands. All of them proclaim that the

author worked long and hard, but finally came up with a magic strategy and wants

to sell you. Do not fall, here is lie.

No matter how convincing the story sounds, it conceals deceit. Of course, a lot of

fun to get fooled and buy a hope which is so lacking in others. This is human nature

and are often fraudsters manage to take advantage of this. Do not be weak, turn

your logical thinking and realize that what you have suggested is possible. No one

does not sell such a good strategy and even make efforts that no one else from

finding out about it.

The best strategy - hard work

There are many people who believe that there is a special secret, known only to the

elect and thus earn a lot of money. No matter how banal sounds - no secrecy is not!

You can become the most successful Betfair merchant and no one in the world will

not prevent you! The winners are those who persevere.

You can take root very successfully and start making profit very well. Be patient, do

not stop learning and you will see results. While on the one hand, it looks fantastic,

but believe me, the reality is not easy. Like everywhere, so the Betfair exchange -

the biggest enemy to you is yourself.

So, the best strategy - hard work. Do not believe any of the prophets, offering a lot

of money for a few dollars. All secrets are lies. Equal conditions for all.

II. What is Betfair? Betfair is the biggest betting market in the world

Betting market are often mistakenly mixed with a bookmaker. Although there are

similarities, but the system is completely different. The betting market players

betting among themselves, and the company operates only as an intermediary.

Clients include coefficients others or themselves build on other participants in the

proposed coefficients.

Here's what you can do Betfair sports betting market :

Bet usual, traditional bets. Back bets are exactly the same like in a bookmaker

site, but the odds here are much better.

Act as a bookmaker. Lay function allows you to accept bets from other

gamblers on your proposed odds(clearly, if you make an unrealistic

coefficients your bet, perhaps, will not be accepted). In this case, your activity

is equivalent to the bookmaker, people are taking bets from you.

You can perform both types of bets. This method, when you layin and backin

same outcome called sports marketing. You can minimize your risk and ensure

20 | P a g e

profits. Betfair trade provides a unique opportunity to make money off of the

lowest odds changes. More later.

LIVE betting. You can place bets in real-time event has already begun. Most of

Marketa Betfair Exchange has a high activity during the game.

Imagine a large crowd of people in one room, proliferating their opinion and

willing to make a bet on your favorite team or player. In this way, you will feel at

Betfair Exchange.

9 Betfair Trading Tips

Avoid rookie mistakesin the Betfair betting market

If you want to make profit from market you must be done very

precisely and avoid wasting energy and money, where there are no benefits. These

tips will raise your trade to a higher level and protect you from stupid mistakes. The

market can be very treacherous at times, especially sports betting, then remember

the following tips when you take trading.

# 1 Be careful in the early markets.

When a certain event odds offered only a few bookmakers and the event is already

active in the Betfair exchange, often appear in various wiseacre trying to make a

profit. They enter the unconscious odds, and wait for dumb gambler. Unfortunately,

they succeed sometimes. No action until you don‘t analysed event very well.

# 2 Watch the cash in Back / Lay prices.

The amount of the following odds show how much money can backin / layin. If a

large amount is stored in the back side, that means a lot of people do not believe in

victory and tend layin outcome. The odds will rise most likely. If the opposite (a large

amount on lay side), odds should fall. The cash flow strategy with examples you can

read later.

# 3 Do not leave unmatched bets for a long period of time.

The situation may change, and you will not even be able to react to it. For example,

if a tennis player will play match with sore foot, Market responds very quickly. Your

odds may be accepted, but you will not be really happy about it.

# 4 compare the coefficients with bookmakers offer.

If you are an experienced gambler –this advice you are probably already well

known. Comparing Betfair prices with bookmaker, you will be more informed about

the situation in the market. Betfair is often the first place where optimized

coefficients. If you notice a discrepancy between the betting company and Betfair

26 | P a g e

26

prices, then someone is late and you could possibly make a profit from this

situation.

# 5 Pay attention to the Book Percentage.

This figure shows the coefficients of quality. When you back, you need to have the

lowest possible Book%, lay - higher. Most often, these figures will be slightly over

100 (back), and far below the 100 (lay).

# 6 Don‘t go to markets where you do not have any idea.

Newcomer mistake nr1. Of course, other ways to improve, if you can‘t experiment?

But here is the exchange and payments will be expensive. Better always keep the

knowledge before proceeding with investigations. Better be smarter and learn from

the mistakes of others.

# 7 Watch coefficients schedules.

For those who know how to read charts, may this prove to be helpful, but I won‘t

focus on technical analysis. More important is to know which direction is changing

coefficients. Large fluctuations hide information and if you "root out it out", you

may be able to use very profitable. The odds charts, you can see by clicking on the

curve before the participant's name / title.

# 8 Know the rules.

If you undertake trades in a given market, you need to know the rules. Do not make

blind decisions in the hope that the rules will be on your side. If you

"enlightenment" that proposed a great odds for any event, and you in a hurry to

bet, make sure this is really what you think.

"I was repeatedly deceived with the horse racing. Traditionally, the term place

means to bet that your horse will be in first or second place. I knew it and I were

glad when I saw Betfair coefficients. I rushed layin almost all favorites (in place

event) and I was hoping that I discovered a treasure. It will turn out that it was

under the Betfair rules, the term place meaned at the first two places and three. "

# 9 Have a plan

Know what you will do in the worst case. Model your activities and provide a few

steps forward. If you have no clear plan, you will have to make quick and difficult

decisions, but the market is not waiting. As the saying : "Better a small plus than a

big minus.“

III. Betfair Rules Be informed trader

One of the biggest bookmakers / traders mistakes, it is ignorance of the rules. Many

people is lazy to read and they just begin to play immediately. The rules are

different in every betting company and if you want to be successfull trader-you need

to know it. I have made you a short summary of the most important rules in Betfair

Exchange.

35 | P a g e

Brokerage fee and Points

What is Betfair commissions and how they are calculated?

Every time you bet in Betfair market, system deducts brokery fee from your money

prize. In most cases, this tax is 5%.

The best would probably be to set an example:

The match Manchester United - Liverpool.

Odds for Manchester win is 2.0

You bet 300 €, MAN UTD also win this game, so you win 300 € from this bet. What is

your profit?

€300 * 5% = €15 (commission)

€300 – €15 = €285 (your winning)

This is the simplest calculation. However, it is possible to pay a lower fee. Active

exchange participants can receive up to 60% discount. What kind of discount you

can get depends on the collected Betfair Points.

Points are earned by making bets. For every € 0,10 paid (payable) tax you get 1

point. Whether you have won or not, you still receive points as they are given and

for paid and payable (5% of your Losees the amount you have won something)

charges.

36 | P a g e

36

The following table shows how the discount received for the collected points.

In order to maintain the activity of players, Betfair deducts 15 % of your

accumulated points of your balamce every Sunday midnight (GMT). This is known as

the Weekly Decay. If you suddenly make a lot of points, you do not need to wait for

Sunday, the discount goes up automatically.

So if in the example above (without Betfair discounts) your profit was € 285. Let‘s

calculate what it would be with a 40% discount on Betfair. Calculation:

37 | P a g e

37

€ 300 - your winnings

5% - Betfair brokerage fee

40% - your discount

€300 * (5% * (1-40%) = €9 (commission)

€300 – €9 = €291 (your winning)

You earn approximately 90 Betfair Points.

If you are selling, make back and lay bets on the same market, commissions are

calculated only on the overall profit, rather than on each bet separately.

In this example, I I pay commissions only from € 34 (if somewhere team wins) or €

33,20 (if a tie).

Premium Charges – Fees for Sharks

Betfair market fee for successful traders

Betfair has introduced a new rule - a premium charges, at 2008. This additional fee

for traffickers / gambler who profit greatly exceeds the paid commissions. Although

a large proportion of customers rushed to express their dissatisfaction,

nevertheless, this tax has affected a small number of customers. Betfair estimates

only 0.5% of stock exchange participants are charged. However, whether this is a

real number or not, there is nothing can to say. It is clear only, that there are a big

number of dealers, earning big money from Betfair Exchange.

Who pays this tax, how it's calculated and how to apply?

Who pays the Premium Charges?

Betfair counts customers profits and all taxes paid, every week.

The fees paid by customers who fulfill the following conditions:

- Your account is in profit zone (during the time between the opening of the account

you are in profit).

- If you pay all brokerage fees at less than 20% of your profit. In short, if your profits

are 5 or more times higher than the fees paid, you can be taxed.

- Carry out a bet of at least 250 different events.

The majority of Betfair customers do not meet the one, or other criterion. You can

be a successful trader, but still not to pay this tax, for example, if your commission is

very high and well above the 20% of the net profit.

To protect new customers Betfair has introduced 2 additional rules:

- If one simple bet amount won is more than 50% of the total net profit, this

achievement excluded.

39 | P a g e

39

- Each customer will be charged exempt from tax up to £ 1000. This means that if

you already have to pay a premium charges, you will not have to pay from the first £

1000.

So, those who dispose of small amounts, will be calm. All together, the appearance

of a very small proportion of customers that meet all the requirements.

As calculated Premium Charges?

Each week the customers who meet all the requirements will be charged of a lower

amount of the following options:

- The difference between 20% of the profits and the taxes paid in the previous week;

- The difference between 20% of the net profits and taxes paid during full period;

Here are some examples of how this tax is calculated.

Example 1: Let's say over the entire lifetime of your account you won € 10 000, and

€ 1000 taxes are paid. You have participated in more than 250 events and used the £

1,000 tax-free amount.

Last week, you have won € 500 and paid € 80 tax. Calculation :

((€500 * 20%) – €80 = €20

20% of the net profit - to pay taxes = premium charge fee

In this case, you pay 20 € fee.

Example 2: During the lifetime of your account you won € 10 000, and € 1000 taxes

are paid. You participated in more than 250 events, but you still haven‘t used your

tax-free amount. Last week, you have won € 400 and paid € 50 tax.

Calculation :

((€400 * 20%) – €50 = €30

Your fee is € 30 but as yet do not use your £ 1,000 tax-free amount you will not pay

the tax. You will remain £ 970 tax-free amount and the balance will be able to re-

use, if you continue to successfully sale and will have to pay a premium charges.

Increased Premium Charges

2011 Jun Betfair has introduced higher taxes on very high-earning customers. The

increased premium charges paid by consumers, who fulfill the following conditions:

- Your account profit higher than £ 250 000.

40 | P a g e

40

- Pay fees are less than 40% of net profit.

- Place bets on more than 1,000 events.

Increase taxes, depending on the net income and tax paid on the proportion may be

paid from 40% to 60%.

< 5% - 60%

5% – 10% - 50%

10%+ - 40%

Although, according to the Betfair data, raised fee will pay only 0.1% of customers.

Improvements to the new rules were even more frustration.

Why Betfair imposed Premium Charges rule?

Many reading probably had an idea why Betfair is doing this? The company faces

very little competition, which is hardly possible for niche specifics. For many years,

Betfair has been called the company where winners are welcome. It really was

Betfair pride. Why should spoil such a good reputation?

Basically, this rule affects only a very small number of customers. Those who pay a

premium tax charges are well-paid from betting market. These people are profiting

every day and fill up their bank accounts.

Premium charges rule was invented precisely in order to charge such successful

traders. They are not useful to the market, because they removes all the money

from it.

The less money circulates in the stock exchange, the fewer transactions executed

and the less paid commissions. Thus, the medium-sized merchants, this rule does

not affect, but only a little "precipitates" market sharks.

Tennis Betting Rules

What you need to know betting tennis in Betfair betting market?

Betfair offers bets on all ATP and WTA tournaments. This sport is a favorite on

Betfair traders, and activity in it is often very high. Later we will talk about the

popular Betfair tennis market strategies, but first we need to become familiar with

the rules. If you will don‘t know it, you can hurt.

The most common disputes over construction is completed when one of the

players retires without finishing the game. According to the Betfair Rules, if a

player withdraws after the first set, all bets (Back / Lay) on the victory (Match

Odds) is canceled and the money returned. If the first set occurs and one of

the participants retire, those wins that went beyond the official competition

winner.

If you bet on the other ends, such as: who will win the first set, number of

games, is not always necessary to wait for the end of the game to find out

whether you win or not. For example, bet more than 19.5 games. Match

result is 7-6, 4-3, and now it‘s 20th game so you calm. If in such a case, one of

the players retire from the match, you'll still be a winner. Who betted on

under –they lost. If the bet outcome is already clear, such bets will classified

as winned.

What happens if you bet more than 21.5 game per match, for example. Match

score is 6-4, 4-4 and one of the players retires, your bet is returned.

In most cases all bets : Who will win the tennis tournament remains is valid

(back and lay) even if your player retires from the tournament's and even

haven‘t played one single match. Pay attention to the information note of the

event Lounge: *** ALL BETS STAND RUN OR NOT ***

IV. Betfair strategies Follow the stratey, when you are in market trading

Successfull Betfair trader must to have a strategy making any bets. Erratic trade

completely comparable to the average gambling. They main principle – stick to the

plan. Money can be earned anywhere, tennis, horse racing, football betting or

financial indicators, the most important to make the right moves.

The most common mistakes, which traders use :

1. Taisyklių nežinojimas.

2. You not interested in what you‘re doing. For example, if you are not horse

racing lover, keep away from them, you will save a lot of money.

3. Rushing to make a profit. Do not waste your time trying to trade more

markets than you able to cope.

4. Manage your money(bank). Concentrate on the positive results, rather than

money.

I. Soccer DRAW system Use this strategy only if you have knowledge of soccer

This is, perhaps, the most popular soccer Betfair traders strategy. The main point in

this strategy - to bet, that there will be no draw in match. The only result that you

will be a losser, it's 0-0. So you must to choose, high scoring matches. If you will be

able to do this often, this strategy will bring you profit.

Use : check football matches of this day. By using your knowledge, choose a match,

where are playing same level teams and there can be 1 or more goals. This is very

important because if one of the opponents much stronger, may not be able to make

a profit. But worse, if the match ends without goals.

First step: Choose the game and lay draw. The odds need to be not more than

3.8(advisable). I have choosen Austria 1-league, match Ried-Austria Vienna. Clubs

capacity seen more or less the same and I am sure that there will be a though one

goal. Example:

The second step: at the beginning of the game, you have to be near the computer

screen. Wait for the first goal. This is what happened with my selected matches.

First goal in 14th minute.

44 | P a g e

44

After the goal for a draw, odds have risen and I already can close the bet. Back a

draw outcome, with 4.00 odds. Example :

I think, my profit is secured, in any cases. If someone club will win – my profit will be

13 €, if draw – 11 €.

This Betfair strategy is profitable, if you will be able to choose a match, where will

be goal.

Observations : if first goal will be scored in the late of match, you will get a higher

odds for draw, so you will have higher profit.

If one of the clubs will be much stronger and will spend the first goal, odds for the

draw can fall(most imporant to choose same level clubs). This is due to the fact that

everyone expects from favorites responsive goal. If this happens, you can wait a

little bit, odds may rise a little later. But there is a risk while waiting to receive and

responsive goal, because when that happens, then everything again.

In my selected match responsive goal came after just 2 minutes.

45 | P a g e

45

Because I choose the right teams and I stick to the strategy, I was in time and I

“closed“ the bet successfully.

Advices :

If you have selected a match and layed a draw outcome, be sure that you will

be able to sit at a the computer, in a match. It is essential to reaching the first

goal to act quickly.

Do not bet blindly. You must to have real arguments, selecting matches. As I

said, search high scoring teams.

Don‘t choose big odds before a game. Lay odds, less than 3.8. Later there will

be easier, to “close“ the bet. Moreover, if you choose the same capacity clubs,

the odds for the draw will not be very large.

Watch a game live, if you can of course. You will have more sense, when can

be scored goal. Maybe sometimes is better just to wait, because the game

just playing in the middle of the square.

The Betfair trading strategy is quite simple and not difficult to apply. If you are

interested in football, trust your knowledge, you can easily earn extra money.

46 | P a g e

II. Soccer 2 DRAW system

Soccer draws strategy variation

This strategy is based on the same principle as the first. In this strategy, you will lay

live game. If you can watch the match live you will have more information about the

game, so you can carefully choose the bets. If you can‘t watch live game, then you

need statistics of that match.

Use : choose a match, where are playing same level teams. Watch any team

offensive indicators: corner kicks, shots, shots on goal and etc. If you have

broadcast, consider the clubs chances to score a goal, according to the game that

you see. To see the things live is always better, but like I said, it‘s not bad to watch

statistics.

Try to choose such competitions where contestants really try to score a goal. There

are clubs who are playing better on defense. They always trie to protect what they

have and not take risk. Some clubs start games slowly, but later they pass to

offense. Sometimes both clubs satisfy only the victory and they will try to score a

goal in every possible way. Evaluate all the options. This step is very important, and

as often as you choose the correct pitch, the more profit you will have.

First step : If in the match is a lot of attacks, and the result is equal (0:0, 1:1) Prepare

layin draw. Wait until the Betfair market odds drops to about 2.00. This can happen

in the middle of the game, or even a little bit after the first half.

Second step : when you layed draw, wait for a goal. When the goal is scored

immediately back draw. Unlike the first version of this strategy, where early goal

may can affect the coefficients, here, the goal shake prices very violently. Even not

always is most important equal level teams, because time is running fast and there

are less and less time until game will end.

Observations: in failure case, you would always lose a smaller amount, than in the

first version of this strategy. This is because layed odds is – 2.00, in this strategy.

However, to shot a goal there are less time every minute, so the risk of losing the

bet is higher. The better analysis you will make, the better chance that you will win.

There are always more goals, in second half, according to statistics.

47 | P a g e

47

Advices :

Do not trade blindly. Although you can access, but it is not system, it‘s just

gambling or worse lottery. You must to have a goal in market and you need to

try reduce losses to a minimum.

Check odds of bookmakers in over/under bets. This can give an overall picture

of whether the matches are expected goal.

If it is difficult to watch translation to you, you can do an analysis after the

first half. You will have time to analyse the statistics and make lay bet.

Do not hurry to trade many matches at once.

48 | P a g e

48

III. Soccer ATTACKS This strategy only can used in live games

Use up the most dangerous moments in the soccer match. In line with this strategy

you will never suffer heavy losses, but you can have a fair profit.

Use : be sure that you can watch live game. In line with this strategy you will never

suffer heavy losses, but you can have a fair profit. You will need to respond quickly

and place a bet during the match.

First step : wait for dangerous moments. Of course, penalty or red card is very

dangerous moments, but an event will be suspended in this case. Don‘t wait. You

must to make a bet, after first dangerous attacks signs. If you see that Ch. Ronaldo

saw free teammate and made good pass or L.Messi went through 2 defenders and

now team has more players in offense that moment – HURRY TO MAKE A F***ING

BET.

Second step : no wonder if the attack will end in failure. However, the beauty of this

strategy is that even the attach will not be successfull, you can lay your bet on the

same odds. Your loss will be minimal.

But ... if will happen of something important. Rough foul in penalty area, angle, red

card, 11 penalty or even a goal, odds significantly moves down. In this way, you'll

have created a guaranteed win situation.

Observations: How much you will win depends on the importance of the event and

the time remaining in the match. Red card always has a greater impact on the

beginning of the match, while a dangerous free kick more influence coefficients

shortly before the end of competition.

Advices :

Always try to back favorites. However, the stronger clubs, always better

exploit opportunities.

If the attack was delayed or ended without a goal, lay your bet. Often the

mistake is that people are afraid to take on a small minus. They prefer to wait

and perhaps they prosper, but just refuse to lose a few cents. In this way, you

may invite trouble.

Tennis Tournaments Strategies

Tennis marketing strategy for the entire week

The win came in the second day of the tournament. My chosen player ritered from

the tournament's, without playing any game. This strategy is based on long-term

stake in each coating step.

Use : The most common tennis tournaments begins on Monday. You need to choose

a player who is not a favorite, but not a complete outsider.

First step : I have chosen the ATP 500 tournament in Basel. I have layed A.Murray, as

the tournament winner, with 4.90 odds. So, I bettet, that he will not win this

tournament. According to the tournament semi-final plan, he should meet with

R.Federer, and in the finale with N.Djokovic. This is important because strong

opponents of your chosen player's raise bet value.

If A.Murray wins the tournament my loss is - € 312, if he did not win a tournament,

my earnings - € 80(-5% Commission, so my profit is € 76).

Second step : So, knowing that I will win € 76 in case of success, I can start to

accumulate the amount, with which I will cover losses(If my player will win the

tournament). We take 70 €(This amount can not be higher than € 76) and bet on

A.Murray, at the very first match of the tournament. The first round opponent

50 | P a g e

50

Dutchman R. Haase. The odds for Murray 1.11, we bet € 70. If you win, our hedging

amount grew, and has already reached € 70 * 1.11 = € 77.7 (€ 77,3 with

commissions).

If we lose, we lose 70 €, but we will get 76 €, as for the first LAY bet. You probably

already understand the system?

Let‘s move further. Murray has won the first round and we have € 77,3.

It is likely that the opponent will be the tournament host, Swiss S. Wawrinka in the

second round. Here, perhaps, the coefficient for Murray will be at least 1.40. So, we

bet 77,3 € for Murray win and if he win, we already have - € 106(with commissions).

Murray will probably meet I. Ljubicic in third round. Maybe Ljubicic is not such a

strong contender as S. Wawrinka, but the odds for Murray certainly will be at least

1.30. We bet 106.7 € on Murray and if he wins, we have 137.1 €(with commissions).

If in the tournament everything is going according to plan, semi-final awaits duel

with another star R. Federer. Odds for Murray should be at least 2.10, and maybe

even more. Well, keep a spare available. We bet 137.1 € and if Murray wins we have

280.4 € (with commissions).

Now we can remove the first bet of € 70. Betting up on Murray, now we have €

210.4 hedging amount, and he has not played the finals! We have a lot of chance to

meet with N. Djokovic in the final. You can expect at least 2.70 odds.

We still need to cover the Lay loss, if Murray will win the tournament - € 312. If we

will bet the entire winnings for Murray – you will get € 210.4 * 2.70 = € 550.20 (with

commissions).

So Murray triumph, we get: € 550.20 - € 312 = € 238.2 Profit!

In case, of Murray failure, we lose the bigger bet, but win the very first lay bet. So,

from the start of the tournament we will still remain at the plus € 76. (You can

compare these amounts. Betting less on Murray in the finals).

This is the weekly earnings of a single tournament. And there are a lot of similar

tournaments per year.

If your player just loses one of the first matches, you are staying in a small plus. € 76

- € 70 = € 6

However, there are many options for how things might end up much more

profitable.

51 | P a g e

51

Observations: Like I said. For me, this tournament has ened in the second day. A.

Murray has ritered from the tournament with out played even his first game and my

lay bet was won.

This time I was lucky, but one of the advantages of this strategy is that the player

can retire from the tournament and your bet will be won. This can happen in any

round, even during the game. If your player retires without finishing the first set,

you will don‘t lose back bet and you will win lay bet (for the winner of the

tournament). Double benefit.

A minus is that the opponent can retire from the game without finishing the first set.

Then you will don‘t increase your amount of hedging and layed player goes to the

next stage.

Advices :

Know betfair tennis rules.

You can do back bets not even in Betfair. PinnacleSports has high coefficients

of tennis and you will not need to pay commission. Rules as in Betfair.

Do not select the tournament favorites. It will be difficult to collect the

amount of hedging.

Pay attention to the tournament plan. The more serious and treacherous

players will along the way, the strategy will be more effective. OK selecting

the players you can profit from each tournament of the ATP and WTA tour.

Really interesting and noteworthy strategy, and what is most important - usually

customizable and can carry a stable profit. Sports world does not stand still a

moment. News coming out every minute - coaches speeches, player injuries, trades,

rumors, changes in rosters, schedule changes, new contracts, etc. News is one of the

most important factors influencing odds change. People react and bet their money

depending on what you have heard.

Schematically everything would look like this:

News influences people's opinions ⇒ people's opinions influence the odds.

Everything is simple. Bearing in mind that these changes are taking place every day,

it can be concluded that trade under the sports news is a guaranteed profit. Almost.

The most important thing is to be first who is able to take advantage of these news.

If you will be late, the coefficients will be fallen and you will fail to make profit. So,

you must always be alert and follow the news.

Example :

You have read that NY Knicks leader C.Anthony will come back to the roster after a

long brake. If this new reached you not just before the game, so you have time to

successfully take advantage from this case.

BACK Knicks Victory. Ideally, when the bet is carried out not in the evening before

the match, but in the morning. Then throughout the day, more and more people

become aware of the composition of strengthening and automatically bet their

money for this team. The coefficient decreases. In the evening, before you go sleep

LAY your bet and you have a guaranteed profit.

Any news, even the smallest, can provide an opportunity to profitably market. Of

course, if new is more important, it will more influence odds. Among the news,

which fall within the relevant category may be:

One of the key players returns to the roster.

One of the key players loss (injury, suspension).

News about the poor financial situation of the team and no salaries.

Coach speeches about the importance of the match and the rosters of the

starting match.

Players' fears of poor physical shape (mostly tennis).

However, the news published about the influence each has to deal with the

knowledge and understanding of a particular sport.

Trade by Tipster forecasts

Another similar way to trade on Betfair Exchange is following the popular tipsters

bets. Tipsters, are the experts in their fields, they often higlight one or other

importnat factor for one or other event. When more and more gamblers read

tipsters analysis, bet money on their bets, so odds drop. So, sometimes it is worth to

have a good tipster memberships. 2 essential conditions:

1. Tipster have to be popular and have to have a lot of customers, who are

betting money on his picks. If picks are free , you will have to access how

much people will trust his prediction.

2. You must place a bet soon after its publication. The best thing is to be at the

computer when the forecast reaches your e-mail. postbox.

Strategy hazards

Doing everything correctly, you will not find disadvantages or dangers in this system.

However you must to know these things :

If you are late to make a bet on time or you are too late heard important

information about evens, it is better not to trade and wait for another chance.

Making a bet, after the odds are fallen, you run the risk of entering the

correction, when odds are slightly rises to the top. Sometimes it happens that

the coefficients of fully returning to the starting point (if the news is not

official, or appears to be not so important).

If you know nothing about the sport, so any news you will get, will don‘t give

you advantage.

Often, if you will fail to catch falls of odds, at least you will be able to cover your bet

with a similar rate and stay "on your own money".

What is interesting is that not all the news really affect the game as the

bookmakers expect. The bottom line is that this news to influence people's

opinions!
