There are many ways to improve your play at 22Bet. We show you the easiest and most efficient ones now.
Understanding value
“Value” is a term that haunts the world of sports betting and yet some bettors do not know what value actually means and that it is the only value that can make sports betting profitable in the long term.
Value translates as “worth”, but is understood by sports bettors as “added value”. Added value in the sense that the bookmaker’s odds are set too high for a particular event. The bookmaker’s odds should always be set against your own assessment. For example, if I think that team X has a 50% probability of winning a game, then the fair odds would be 2.0 (= 1/50*100). However, a bookmaker offers odds of 2.30 for the win, which corresponds to a probability of 43.5% (= 1/2.30*100). If my assessment of the probability is now better than that of the bookmaker, then I have just found a “value bet”. Of course, value bets can also be lost – in this example, 50% if the assessment is true.
Playing value bets does not mean that you will win every bet. The long-term perspective is important. Because if my assessment is better than that of the bookmaker, then I will inevitably make a profit in the long term.
Now even odds of @1.20 can be value.

Finding the best odds
Since the odds always represent the expected percentage win minus the bookmaker’s markdown, finding the best odds is a very important prerequisite for success with sports betting. You can find a good odds comparison on the betting base.
Don’t let your feelings come into play
Very important: Personal feelings or the so-called fan glasses are absolutely out of place. Even if your favorite club is playing, you should make sensible estimates and not evaluate or dilute the odds through fan glasses.
How many betting providers in the portfolio make sense?
As a betting pro / beginner, you absolutely cannot afford to give away money (= odds tickets). Whoever offers the highest odds gets your stake, it’s as simple as that. Prerequisite: the bookmaker is known to be reputable. Of course, it also depends on the available starting bank, so you can roughly say that you should include at least between 3-5 bookmakers in your personal portfolio. The choice also depends on your preference in sports. For example, US sports such as baseball, basketball or NHL ice hockey have their own specific bookmakers, whereas soccer offers a wider choice.
Watch out for black sheep
Unfortunately, there are some black sheep among the bookmakers. Before you decide to register with a bookmaker, it is important to obtain information about them beforehand. There are threads about these black sheep in various betting forums. As a forum member, you can also ask questions directly to the community and get personal feedback.
Whether you are betting just for fun so that you can look forward to a combination bet at the weekend, or you are betting professionally – without following these 10 strategies, it will be difficult to make a profit at the end of the year. I wish you continued fun and success with your future sports betting.
