English Traditionally, experienced bettors recommend focusing on the following markets when looking for value bets (overestimated odds):
- Asian Handicap / Point Spread
- Total Markets (Over/Under)
- 1X2 Markets (Match Winner)
- Double Chance
- Both Teams to Score
Why these markets?
-
Liquidity allows for larger bets: Liquidity is a crucial factor because it ensures that you can place significant bets without affecting the odds too much. In markets with good liquidity, bets do not drastically alter the odds, allowing you to maintain your advantage. This differs from less popular markets, where even a small bet of 100 dollars can considerably change the odds and eliminate the value of the bet.
-
Wide variety of odds: These markets generally offer a wide variety of odds, allowing you to choose those that best fit your betting strategy, whether they are lower or higher odds. When it comes to value betting, having a wide choice of odds is always an advantage.
-
Analytical methods: There are effective analysis methods for these markets, which makes it possible to identify profitable bets. For example, using match, goal or point statistics can provide a good understanding of the probabilities of certain outcomes. Popular methods such as the Poisson distribution and expected goals (xG) calculation have become valuable tools for evaluating bets. If you do not want to spend a lot of time searching for and calculating value bets, there are services that do this automatically.
