Internet bookmakers offer a vast variety of kinds of bets. There are actually so many unusual and unprofitable (for the punter) bets that simply choosing which type of bets to play and avoid is difficult. What will be the most dangerous types of bets for punters to play? Avoid the following types of sports bets and you will be avoiding the bets that bookies make reference to as “cream” – because their profit margins are so generous.
First player to score/first goal scorer/first try scorer
This kind of bet applies to rugby league and soccer bet. The odds are put together days in advance, and always with enough margin for the bookie to cover himself. There are simply too many uncertanties to play this bet with confidence. In effect it’s important to pick the team and the player who you think will be the very first scorer.
Last scorer
Much like the above bet, except this time you also have to consider players being substituted off the field. If you’re considering this bet, you should look at players prone to still be on the field. For example, in a soccer match you could consider defenders from a poor team, because strikers will be more more likely to be substituted as well as a defender for a losing team will often move forward attacking (for corners etc) when the team is trying to scramble back into the game at the end of a match.
Half time/full time scores
Not simply do you have to predict one result but two. With this sort of bet it is important to estimate which team will be ahead at half time and at full time. Bookies potentially gain more profit, as the punters job is two times as difficult.
Multi bets
All multiple selection bets should be avoided including teasers, parlays and all variations. These types of bets heavily favour the bookmaker even though they hold great appeal to the recreational punter.
