 Betting is more often considered a win-or-lose game. The chances of winning any prediction be it a match outcome of your favorite soccer team to an NBA match are commonly just as much as the chances of losing that prediction. 

The brutal truth that you might not be aware of is that your betting site of choice might not gamble with odds like you do, their side of inclination is mostly that they make a profit whether a game goes one way or the other. That should ring a bell. What if there was a way you would, with the application of a secret and an intelligent strategy, twist the game so that we are almost as sure of the likely outcome, then we can use this knowledge to our advantage and finally get rid of our current frustrating trend in betting, that is, winning almost every time.

If that sounds interesting keep reading on, I have listed a series of detailed steps, that you can use if you're willing to take your betting to another level;

1. Learn as much as you can about football;

Have you ever seen a guy seated at a bench, completely absorbed in the back page of a newspaper, with a paper and probably a notebook underlining and jotting things down? You might have wondered to yourself what on earth that guy could've been doing. 

Well it turns out that that guy you saw knows something that you don't, that knowledge is power. This is so because if you are informed you are less likely to make blind decisions without proper reasoning first. And it is in this light that I highly suggest being a regular and passionate learner of stuff, especially regarding sports. From the structuring of leagues to players that stand out and observable trends when they are in the match or on the bench, you need to be inclined towards knowing everything there is to football. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that you start piling up stacks and stacks of newspapers and magazines to gain quality and helpful information, instead, you can get the information through your phone through some trusted websites. The websites include but are not limited to; LiveScore, Transfermarkt, Whoscored, and Football data. The websites not only offer the accurate data that you just need to make accurate future predictions but also insights into possible outcomes of upcoming matches. These are websites you want to be part of if you regard yourself as a football enthusiast.

2. Do calculations

If you are truly interested in almost being assured of a win you would probably be glad as I introduce to you a formula that can help you calculate the probability of an outcome so that you can know on which side you should place your bet. 

These calculations are based on odds which are numeric representations of a probability. Here is the formula;

 probability =(Stake÷Total payout) ×100

of an outcome

*Stake = the amount wager/bet

The higher the probability of an outcome the higher the chances of winning the bet you place. For example, If the odds of Manchester City winning against New Castle are 8/13 the probability outcome would be calculated as 8/13×100=63.15%.

Just as it is important to make sure you back up the winning team, you should make sure that you put your money where it's worth the risk.

Keep in mind too that the odds displayed on any betting website are not always true, which brings us to the third and final strategy;

3. Chose a betting website that you can count on.

The last thing that you would want to see is watching helplessly as your betting website sweeps away all your hard-earned cash and disappear into thin air with absolutely no trace whatsoever.
