How can you secure a profit from sports betting?

What are sure bets at non GamStop bookmakers? Is it really guaranteed to win? Profitable sports betting without risk?

Yes and no. Read more here.

Sure bets - Safe bets at Non GamStop Bookmakers?

Absolutely safe bets with sports betting providers do not exist. At least not when everything is going right.
But there are bets with which a secure profit can be achieved.
Anyone who believes that the two claims contradict each other and can in no way be reconciled has probably not yet been confronted with the term

Sure bets - The Safe bet at Non GamStop Bookmakers?

Sure bet means nothing more than "safe bet", which, however, is not entirely correct in terms of form.
Rather, it is about several, at least two, bets on the same betting event, but on different and all possible outcomes.
With two-way bets, two bets are placed, with three-way bets, i.e. the classic 1X2 bets in football games, meanwhile three.
All outcomes are bets, so one of the bets will definitely win in the end.
However, if you place all bets with the same non GamStop bookmaker, the bottom line will definitely be a loss, since the odds are calculated in such a way that 100 percent of the stakes are never paid out.
However, in some betting events, the odds differences, which are sometimes significant from bookmaker to bookmaker, can be used to achieve a profit expectation of more than 100 percent.
This in turn means that with a wise choice of stakes, there is a profit, no matter which of the bets works.
The winning bet not only compensates for the losses of the other bets but also ensures a plus in the final calculation, which is usually in the low single-digit percentage range of the stake.
You won't get rich all at once with sure bets, but if you continuously use this strategy, you can increase your personal betting account without risk.

Two-way Sure bet

A Sure bet, where only two bets have to be placed, can be found, for example, in tennis games or in football with over/under bets.

Example 1: Tennis

Suppose that non GamStop bookmaker A offers the odds of 2.00 for the victory of tennis player X (in all examples, the betting tax is left out for reasons of simplicity), while bookmaker B also offers the odds of 2.0 for the success of player Y.
If you bet ten euros on each of the two players, one bet will definitely end up with a profit of 20 euros, whereas with the other bet the ten euros bet will be lost. The result is therefore a zero.
Meanwhile, if bookmaker C offers odds of 2.05 for a bet on player Y, there is always a profit if the stake is calculated accordingly.
There are various free Sure bet calculators on the Internet that take over this task. To stay with the example, you should bet 10.12 euros on a win for player X at bookmaker A and 9.88 on a win for player Y at bookmaker C. Regardless of how the match ends, a safe profit of 0 remains, 25 euros.

Example 2: Over/Under

Bookmaker A offers odds of 1.80 for at least three goals in a football match, i.e. for a bet of Over 2.5.
Meanwhile, bookmaker B is offering a maximum of two goals, i.e. under 2.5, at odds of 2.40.
If you now bet 100 euros on Over 2.5, 180 euros, i.e. 80 euros in profit, would be paid out if the bet was successful.
If you bet 80 euros on Under 2.5 at the same time, the payout would be 192 euros, i.e. a profit of 112 euros.
In the worst case, i.e. if more than three goals are scored, there would be a zero at the end. On the other hand, a profit of twelve euros could be achieved with a maximum of two goals - without any risk.
A corresponding adjustment of the total stake from 180 euros to 102.86 euros for Over 2.5 and 77.14 euros for Under 2.5 would result in a profit of 5.14 euros regardless of the number of goals.

Three-Way Sure bet

A three-way Sure bet is not only found, but above all and most often in football games when there is a choice between a home win, a draw and an away win.
Compared to two-way sure bets, the effort is somewhat greater, since bets have to be placed with three bookmakers not on GamStop.
With a Sure bet calculator, however, the necessary stakes are quickly determined and placed quite quickly.

Example: 1X2 bet in football

Bookmaker A offers odds of 1.95 for a home win, bookmaker B offers odds of 3.70 for a draw and bookmaker C pays back five times the stake for an away win.
These odds add up to a 101.71 percent payout and thus a Sure bet. When entering a total stake, the Sure bet calculator can be used to quickly determine the appropriate individual stakes.
If you want to bet a total of 100 euros, the following bets and payouts result:
In any case, there remains a net profit of 1.71 or 1.70 euros.

Requirements for Sure Bets

Of course, accounts with several bookmakers are required for regular winnings with sure bets. It is advisable to monitor the odds over a few weeks in order to know which bookies not on GamStop offer the most frequent sure bets and where the odds are generally above average.
It also makes sense to create ways to transfer money quickly so that you can move money back and forth between individual bookmakers without wasting a lot of time.
E-wallets such as Skrill or Neteller are best suited for this. The second alternative, which requires a certain amount of capital, is to have relatively large amounts in several accounts.
And large amounts are essential for sure bets due to the relatively low-profit margin if it is to be worthwhile.
Because assuming a secure profit of two percent remains, 100 euros would have to be wagered for all bets of a sure bet in order to win two euros.
