assess the probability of winning each player or team according to his
season, his current form, And experts in economics and secondly because
whatever the result sports bookmaker must try to make a profit. The risks
are very measured. Finally, the bookmakers can change the dimensions to
the beginning of the sports event, according to the elements of which they
are aware, as a wound for example.
The odds are always offered by the bookmaker before you can place your
bet. In this way, you can calculate your potential profit when good
prognosis. In the example below, the bookmaker believes that Manchester is
the favorite team and a draw even more likely to produce a victory for
Chelsea. However, if you decide to bet € 50 on Chelsea victory and that
this occurs, your gain will be 50 x 3.10 = € 155, a profit of € 105 (gain
- up).
This system is called decimal odds, which is the standard used in Europe.
It is possible that you can meet the other two scoring systems: the
fractional odds and American odds. The fractional dimension is used in
Britain: it indicates the potential benefit directly. If you bet on
Chelsea € 50, your profit will be 50 x (21/10) = 105 €.
Finally, the American side is more complex: it indicates that you would
realize the benefit for up to € 100, while a negative score indicates how
much you need to wager (ie, how much you will have debt, where the "-"
sign) for € 100 profit.
Bet "double chance" as the Lotto Foot, you can bet on two possible outcomes of a game. You have two times more chances of winning, but of course, to the extent that the possibilities are reduced, the odds are much lower and your winnings will be too. In the example below, you can bet on a combination 1N (Lyon win or tie) to increase your chances of winning. If Lyon win or draw, you win your stake multiplied by 1.12.
