The answer to this question should be divided into two parts: how to protect yourself from your own mistakes and how to protect yourself from bookmakers' countermeasures.
To minimize mistakes, you must:
- Have accounts only with an established bookmaker.
- Before starting with each bookmaker, carefully read the conditions for accepting bets and calculating payouts. Particular attention should be paid to the part of the rules concerning extra time. Bet on surebets with bookmakers that have identical conditions.
- Start with small amounts to gain more experience.
- Do not rush, and before betting on surebets, make sure that the bets and odds on the bookmakers' websites are up to date (if you are working with a surebet scanner).
- Do not place bets during the final minutes of the game. At this time, many bookmakers stop accepting bets, and you may be too late.
To avoid the “blacklists of surebet players” compiled by bookmakers, we recommend the following:
- Do not place unrounded bets. $30 would be a good bet, while $ 32.42 would be rather bad.
- Avoid repeated bets on the same event. Even if you really want to and the interest is very attractive.
- Do not bet your entire amount on one event. Conventional bettors avoid doing so.
- Do not bet on surebets with a profit margin of more than 10%. There will most likely be an error (accidental or intentional, to catch surebet players). In this case, the bet will be voided - calculated at odds of 1,00.
