I am a passionate bettor, and usually select
my bets using a consistent strategy - I always place my bets on
Betfair.
I use the
following strategy to place my bets:
I take the
Dutching Calculator [e.g. the one from Oddschecker
here]
and select a
game that's
in play on
Betfair.
Before kick-off, I take a starting betting bank of £50 and
split my bet according to the proportions
specified by the calculator.
Here an
example:
Chelsea–Wigan – for me Chelsea is the favourite, so I bet as follows:
Final score '
0–0' odds: 13.50 -> £4.04 bet results in
winnings of £54.54
Final score '
1–0' odds: 7.20 -> £7.57 bet results in
winnings of £54.50
'
Two goals or more' odds: 1.42 -> £38.39 bet results in
winnings of £54.51
With this bet,
I would only lose (£50)
if Wigan beat Chelsea 1-0.
In all other cases, my
winnings would be
8.28% or approximately £4.51 on the total bet of £50.
For the next game, I don't bet the £50 but
enter £54.51 into the calculator as my bet,
and so forth.
Thus I bet the winnings from the previous game on the next game as well.
If I'm
successful 15 times in a row, I have the
winnings paid out and start over.
If you know your way around, this is
easily possible.
However, one should
only bet on games where the
home team is also
highly favoured to win.
Of course a certain measure of luck is required as well, but then again, the money would only be lost in case of a
(highly unlikely) loss of 0–1 by the home team.
