Sports betting tips
Our tips for getting started in online betting
Tip no. 1 - To avoid in the first place
1. Non-ANJ-licensed sites On Footballfeeling, you'll only find information on regulated, controlled sports betting sites that hold ANJ gaming licenses.
2. Winning techniques that promise success. If this were true, we'd know! Beware of miracle recipes that promise you exponential gains (rising etc...).
3. All-in" betting, where you bet 100% of your capital at once. All-in" sports betting is the best way to lose everything.
4. Combined bets with too many matches. The more matches you multiply on a single ticket, the lower your chances of winning. Think about it!
5. Bet online on odds that are too small (1.10), as they won't bring you much return compared with your investment, and there's always the risk of a surprise.
Tip 2 - Choose your bookmaker carefully
1. If you are a French resident, you have a choice of sports betting sites approved by the ANJ, the government body that issues licenses to operate an online betting site in France. Here is a non-exhaustive list of French sports betting sites
2. For footballfeeling visitors residing in Belgium, you will also find a section dedicated to sports betting sites. sports betting in Belgium, which also has its own licensing system.
3. Before signing up headlong, take the time to read the bonus conditions, which differ from one site to another. Some offer a 100% bonus on a 1st deposit of up to €100, (i.e. you deposit €100 and the bookmaker offers you a further €100, i.e. €200 to bet on). Others refund your 1st bet if it loses up to a certain amount: €50 at Feelingbet for example.
Tip 3 - Place your 1st bet with confidence
Once you've registered with an online betting site, take the time to discover how the site works, the different competitions on offer, the soccer odds on offer, the types of sports bets available, and familiarize yourself with the game interface. Start logically with small sums. Prudence is the key to long-term success!
Don't get carried away by big odds or matches where you're sure of the outcome. Nothing can be taken for granted in sports, especially soccer. If you try combined sports betting (betting on several matches at the same time), go for 2-3 matches. The more matches you bet on, the greater the chance of failure.
Avoid odds that are too low, such as 1.10, 1.12 etc., when a team is heavily favored. Even if the chances of winning are obviously higher (e.g. Barcelona-Levante in La Liga), you won't get much out of it, and in the event of an upset, you're likely to break into a sweat.
Be rigorous in your approach. You'll need to strike a balance between temptation and controlling your nerves. All the sites featured on footballfeeling offer help for gambling addiction and sports betting. Don't hesitate to contact them if necessary.
Experienced bettors tend to play a maximum of 10% of their capital per bet. This allows them to minimize the impact of an unfortunate choice on a match. Indeed, if you bet your entire capital, you risk losing everything.
