Where can I find a reliable trusted Betting site to bet on UFC and DotA 2 that has either no limit max bets or at least 100K AND No maximum winnings and no maximum deposit ... I correctly predicted Ronda rousey streak and losses to holly holm and amanda nunes
There are a few factors in sports picks. One plan I found that successfully combines these is the Simple Sports Goldmine (check it out on google) definately the most incredible system that I have ever heard of.Check out the interesting information .
This is why we all need to be using an exchange! In football the odds lose their efficiency after kick off, some prices will be terrible value while others will be amazing. It is your job to exploit these inefficiencies by using pre match and in play information. Form a plan of action and stick to it, stake no more than 3% of your bank on any one trade and use this 3% wisely. In other words the 3% is your maximum risk so stake according to risk.
When you thoroughly understand "value betting" combined with the "law of large numbers" then all you need is patience and discipline and the rest is history.
I understood the concept of expected value being greater than the implied probability from the odds, in order to make an expected profit. But this still doesn't change the fact that the probability that a bet with 4 odds has approximately 25% of winning, which is quite low
Thanks for sharing. I've had a few losses this year and when I think back I was betting on my opinion on how I perceive the event (I.e the player/team) rather than the odds value. It's made me re evaluate how I look at match betting now. Hopefully will help me raise profit + ROI.
Its 50/50 with those odds and its 50/50 with going with your own believe. I say that because when I go with the odds, I win probably 50 percent of the time and when I go against the odds I win about 50 percent of the time. Even if you win 9 out of 10 bets, it all seems to even out. I guess the best strategy is to win a little, chill, then start again
Bro… why 😂😭.. “I’ve had a few losses this year”… This video just explained to us, in detail, that It’s a rough 50/50 win:loss ratio for everyone. Then you pop up “oh I’ve lost a few times this whole year thanks for the advice” on some obvious bullshit! Wtf? 😂 that is quite impressive I guess? What are you event looking for lol? WOW BRO ONLY A FEW LOSSES?! You’RE A KING! COOLEST DUDE ALIVE! HES SO AWESOME THAT HE ONLY LOST A FEW BETS ALL YEAR’!!!
@@CaanBerryProTrader Surely that would depend on how bad my profitability is. FYI I'm being very tongue in cheek with my comment as I am a profitable layer/trader. I specialize in greyhounds but can dabble in most sport for profit.
My selection has a 0.0001% chance of winning. I’ll become a millionaire one day. Hmmm 🤔 that day may be a lot later than my house repossession, bailiff notice, divorce court order etc.
It is all about value and it amazes me that people bet more the shorter the odds are rather than the more value they get. I had £900 on a 100-1 horse before because it was huge value but I rarely ever bet that big on 2-1 shots.
@@CaanBerryProTrader possibly on the surface the big priced events have little chance on the surface but with some more digging they have a much better chance
Themaggsy1 no your not long odds horses or teams win a lot more often than people actually believe, you risk little to win big when the big odds eventually come In
I trade the Financial markets. My win loss ration is approx 50%. BUT.................and this is the way I've been consistently profitable ( my winners are 3-4 times bigger than my losses. Caan.......You speak such sense PROBABILITIES are what Our focus should be on. There are No guarantees in trading or betting................but boy, can we put the odds in Our favour, if we know what to look for. I used to trade on emotion, with no focus, no plan - shooting from the the hip. No surprise, I lost alot of £££££££. Do your homework people, and focus on edge. Those who don't know what edge is...........YOU DON'T HAVE ONE!!!
The teams/players/horses do matter, since you need a baseline percentage to workout what a value bet looks like. Ofc it matters a lot less if your just trading positions, since your just looking for changes in the market.
I have no idea? Maybe they are all bookies, or work for bookies, or have lost a heap of cash and feel the need to drag others down in the process? It's a pretty helpful video for anyone interested in the mechanics of strategy. Have a goodun :)

This applies to games like roulette because the odds are absolutely mathematically fixed. It’s not the same for horse racing as you cannot truly gauge what the true mathematical probability of winning is. You can have the wisdom of the crowd but that’s not the same as absolute mathematical truth as in roulette. The underlying fundamentals are obviously correct however.
Opening lines do take into account public perception not always true implied probability and line movement isn't always indicative of money in/out. Weather could change, a player could be out, other things can move the line and change the true probability . Then you need to find a book that is offering you lines that are better than open and hope they keep your account open, not many books do that and most wont for long. There is a strategy opposite to this most swear by called steam chasing. Everyone has a 100% winning strategy, it's just not the case.
It is very hard to find someone on TH-cam who makes sense.Everyone has strategies...they simply don t work.There are only 2 sure ways of making money from betting: matched betting and arbitrage.That is math.The other ones are all relying on probabilities thus include risks.Yes,we know,long term...blah blah blah.Mathematically.In the practical world,the punter who just had a losing streak of n bets,can t abstain himself and puts his money on the first bet he finds.That is tilting.Strategies are extremely dangerous just because they depend on variance A LOT.Everything is good when u hit 2 3 in a row...but what happens when u lose in a row? That s why Martingale,Fibonacci,Labouchere,D Alembert,Paroli don t really work in real life .Of course,theoretically,it must hit Red sometimes,right?After 99 blacks.But do u still have money left in the bank? Not really.Every single idiot who posted on TH-cam about betting is talking nonsense.They all think theirs is the one.Lay the draw,lay the draw with insurance,bad each way races,always back the favourite away...etc.They simply don t work for the normal punter.Only if u have bots to find the real value .
Funny how you didn't tell anyone how to find value in the end. For that people need to sign up to your courses. Which is probably how you make actual money.
in fact he did. You must to look at the exchanges odds closest to the start of the event. than you must to search for odds that are bigger on the other bookmakers. the bigger the gap between the odds the bigger the value and the bigger you must to stake. But it's really hard to find those value bets without a software. and then you must to pay for online bookies who can find these value bets alone. Or you can go for surebets too. In the end I think it's really hard work for a little outcome and If you go big you will get restricted. Think of another way to make real money. The only way to make money online betting and make millions is by courtside betting. But also to do that it s a bit hard and you need not to get caught as it is more restricted. If you wanna know more about it go here th-cam.com/video/kvT_yIVI2Qw/w-d-xo.html
Even then he can't tell you because nobody knows what the bfsp will be, you can anticipate moves some of the time but that's it. If anyone tells you different then they're lying
If you think that, you'll never find it. But even now in 2020 it still happens daily, and no, I'm not lying. I'm not just going to put that bit on TH-cam, because, why would I?
I like the contest section on a particular site. Always loved squares. It's just a big game of chance. Also getting to bet on the ufc is pretty fun. I just bet very little with low probability. I bet a ko or tko in the last fight that was +1000 and won. Only bet $15 so it was $150. I just didn't believe the hype of O'Malley.
What about surebets (arbitrage betting)? Is Betnetto surebets good platform? I overheard some guy at the restaurant talking about how he earn 2k monthly by playing surebets. Can this be real?
Arbitrage bettors will be limited by bookies within about a week and there’s little profit to be made from then on. You can make a few quid at the beginning but It’s not sustainable. The only way to make long term profits is to bet with exchanges such as Betfair and have a proven winning strategy.
Made a whole document that calculated the chance of team a or b winning chance of scoring in first 10 min 10-20min etc against each time, bet 25 ish times a day and average a 0,8% return a day
Caan I know you're advocating taking value here, which is of course, the only way to make long-term profit. I agree with all that, but you're saying the best way to ascertain the relative 'value' or true odds of an event occurring is to look at the exchanges near the off, again true, this is when the exchange is most accurate as the odds are ultimately dictated by supply and demand and the money changing hands, and the wisdom in numbers means this is the truest price, the problem is how can you then find value elsewhere? If you found a bookie offering a higher price than the exchange near the off, I'd like you to let me know which bookie that is? Because all you'll get at that stage is liveshows. And if you consistently do manage BEFORE the liveshows to get higher prices with bookies, you know what will happen, as you've shown on other videos. You'll just get banned. So how can this actually be applied? If you're talking about finding value actually on the exchanges, how, as the price changes so does the relative implied probability? It's kind of like reverse logic. You're using the current trading price to give you the 'true odds' but you can't beat the current trading price? If the price goes out, then now the new price is the current trading price, so now that is the 'true odds', you see what I'm saying with this? Where do you get the value from?
Hey! Not seen a comment from you for a while. Hope you're well... in answer: 1. how can you then find value elsewhere? Think I understand what you're asking but; there is not such value in every instance. Anticipation of movement is the key because you have an opportunity to exploit the price for a limited time. 2. I'd like you to let me know which bookie that is? Unfortunately, it changes by the day, hour, minute... they all do at one point or another. None are super-efficient. 3. So how can this actually be applied? Yep, you'll get banned for winning. That's bookies business model. In the short term you can certainly apply and take value though, its just not going to be a golden goose forever. 4. how, as the price changes so does the relative implied probability? Remeber it's not an eternal sliding scale, we're talking about the last minute to post in most cases when the market is most fluid and accurate. 5. You can't beat the current trading price? You can. And while I'd love to discuss and share this with you as I know you're a long-term follower with some great insight, I'm just not going to put that part on TH-cam at this stage :) ...but you can.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Okay thanks Caan. And I am actually a subscriber to your video pack. I'm going to go through it all again during this lockdown period. See if I can get even more out of it if I go through it methodically. Cheers for the reply
On the toss of the coin the bookies won’t give you evens on heads or tails, they’ll give you 9/10 (or possibly 4/5) on both. A mark-up of 10-20%. As you say it isn’t rocket science.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Not always very often it is the very lack of value that bet 365 give with their early greyhound prices that gives the punter value if he knows what he is doing let me explain. The bet 365 greyhound odds compilers aren't that clued up and thus in nearly every bags race they tend to underestimate and overestimate several dogs chances to a large degree and thus this gives the punter two chances of making a good profit firstly by backing two dogs in certain races where in your opinion both dogs are overpriced and secondly by doing combination forecasts in races where you think your selections are overpriced. Of course you can only do this with 365 because they are the only bookmakers who offer guaranteed prices on forecasts and only last week i had three forecasts that paid way over the industry forecast dividend including one that paid £40 pound with bet 365 while the industry forecast for the same race was just over £10 of course it goes without say that you have to know your dogs and you must be selective with your bets to make it work
I take it you keep track of all of your wins / losses on a spreadsheet. Stupid question but are you ever tempted to just stop when you hit the top, just to stop you from chasing the top again?
no because chasing is not an issue for me I don't bring in motion to the table I only take value and place my bet when I know I am in a good position otherwise I just watch
The margin I mention in the video that is applied by a bookie makes it bad value. You should know, when you cash-out with them they apply this margin again... so double-screwed yes. You would need to be taking huge value in order to back with a bookie and cash out with them and still be in the green.
his reply makes sense but some bookies dont screw over second time i think, and when you wonder if you should cash out, my tip is look at your own bank do you need that money, think about your overall luck factor dont know if you get this, and try to find feeling can it go wrong, ask yourself if losing team is really doing worse if score dont makes sense i suggest cash out.
I used to work out the over round in the betting shops before a race to gauge value. You have to take into account with horses people will back favourite names, jockeys which distort the pricing. All a bookie wants is his little bit of the pie.
@@CaanBerryProTrader People have a go at the Coates's, at least they had the foresight to see where betting was going and started Bet365 Online. In over 200 countries betting on horses, poker, bingo, etc. There's always winners and losers. What gets me is when they pay millions for football players?, The likes of Moore, Pele, Best all missed the good times.
Fact is, no one knows the true price. Not even the bookmakers. Anyone who believes they do is fooling themselves and will empty their bank account pretty quickly. Yes the bookmakers will have a reasonably close approximation of the odds for any particular event to begin with, but the way they make their profit is to use complex algorithms to adjust those odds depending upon how much money is wagered for or against a particular outcome so that they guarantee a profit no matter the actual outcome. So the reality is, the closer to the event start that you wait to make your bet, by that time the bookies have already adjusted their odds to ensure they make a profit.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I stick by what I say. Nobody can be certain of the true odds on a consistent basis. And for this to be workable, you have to be able to do this consistently, otherwise it's just gambling.
Your a professional on your horses. Myself sports. Yes close to the start of event you lay down. In terms of getting value all the betting places have similar prices anyway. Line betting is the only way to be profitable. Yes they take 9% always the line is 1.91. dont the be taking short lines. I firmly believe in keeping the same stake. If your picking 2/3 winners your profitable. 8/10 your profitable. 1/2 loose small amounts. Sometimes you can loose 4-5 times in a row but purple patches of 10-15 winners in a row happens more. Media always pumps the wrong tyres up. Do your own research.
True, so long as all those winners you pick are a higher price than the average odds they represent. Price is the important thing, could pick 3 winners out of 10... but if you were getting (9.0) 8/1 on each winner, you'd be far in the lead.
whats your profit last 5 years? easy tell yourself just got to hit winners even they pay out 1.91, results dont lie, i doubt your winning on the long run and i dont mean your last 20 bets or whatever where you hit your patch, fact bookmaker not blocked you yet mean your not considered a winner
You're entirely right. Many people don't even think about it though. The inclination is to just automatically believe the mainstream media and have a punt picking the winner. Thanks.
I great strategy i have found to make steady profit is playing for a cash out. Maybe not the best for long term, however i will do a football acca on say 6 games to not finish 0-0. Now 0-0 isn't a common score in football but it can happen, but the likelyhood is, 4 or 5 of those games are going to have a scorer. At that point you cash out. Its rare that i lose on this and even though im not making mega profit its adding up. A few £30-£150 wins every day or 2 goes a long way. And the more you have you more you can essentially put on for larger profit margins.
On a Saturday with full list of football fixtures I like to bet on both teams to score yes with odds of evens or above that way I usually always make a healthy profit
Do you just choose the games with odds of evens or above randomly or do you look into both of the teams' match history (for example if both teams score often in other games they have played)?
You got it! Think it has gone over a few peoples head to be honest but its quite simple really, understanding it and then looking in the right places is the key.
I think when you combine value with knowledge of teams, you have a dream scenario. Teams do matter because they are human being with emotions and tendencies. American sports especially, teams get streaky (hot and cold). Also, sometimes, good teams getting embarrassed last time out, 3 games in 4 nights, etc can all impact a teams value that night. I find with basketball and hockey, I find tremendous value in the live betting market (alternative betting), where ill get odds of something happened at 40% but its above that. Than if the line moves enough in my favor, ill either let it ride or sometimes try and hit the middle. very hard to do with soccer but a sound strategy for Most American sports.
Hello Caan! Thanks for posting this video! I have a question. If i know the true odds, how do you increase the odds to gain value? Some odds posted are greater or lower than all 3 true odds calculated by me. We must calculate the true odds of all bookies to make comparison with?
Possibly not the only one. What is it you didn't understand? In order to win betting, you must bet at a bigger price than the implied chance of the event happening. Over the long term, by doing this, you will win, its a mathmatical fact. This is the point we are trying to get over whist explaining a few other things.... its got jack all to do with the right team etc.
@@CaanBerryProTrader still don't understand when you say 'price' you say 'odd'? when you say 'event from happening' you say 'tsunami or hurricane?' i'm lost
It doesn't make any mathematical sense. The whole concept of "value" in sports betting is flawed. The so-called experts try to con us by giving examples of tossing a coin but sports betting has nothing in common with flipping a coin. And good luck to anyone who wants to work out whether odds offered are higher than the true probability of a sporting outcome - in most cases it's impossible.
It's all nice and tidy with the figures, but real life is not figures. Probability does not work in horse races, football or any other sport. It only works in the Casino and they have their safety margin already. So call me naive, but there is no betting strategy that is not based on luck. Bayern usually wins with high goal difference against poor opposition at home? You found the best odds because of your famous calculation? BAM, 3:3 against Bielefeld.
I understand the logic behind value but still feel there are question marks. First, surely there is also a subjective element to value that by definition cannot be quantified. And I also feel that the notion of winning over the longer term is extremely vague. How do you define longer term? For instance, here you use 100 bets to illustrate the different returns when value is obtained. But there is no way of knowing how many bets you'd have to place in order for the identified probability to play out. Could be 50, 100, 1000 or whatever. If it is not working out after a certain time or number of bets, how long to you hang in there before returns identified by probability do emerge? To me, it almost seems like the proverbial 'how long is a piece of string' scenario that is further complicated in events (such as horse races) where multiple different outcomes are possible.
Hi Cole, long-term is relative to the avearge odds range your are targetting. It can't just be a set period as it wouldnt relative the variance and odds line. I feel the question is somewhat awkward as, when you look at the facts and numbers involved it cannot be denied. Of course there is variation in results, but if you are consistently getting a bigger price than the value of it happening you will come out on top. Everything can be quantified. The larger your value or edge over true odds the quicker the cash lands in your pocket. I feel you're looking to overcomplicate it a little there.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I don't think I am over-complicating the issue at all. I believe that the concept of value is itself somewhat vague because of the subjectivity involved. One of the things I struggle to accept is this almost blind faith in the belief that obtaining 'value' guarantees success. Whatever great a price you might obtain, the outcome still has to occur in order for you to profit. For instance, it's no good repeatedly getting, say, 10/1 on a horse you think should be a 5/1 shot if that horse repeatedly loses. And I know the probability argument will then enter the fray, but my point relates to how long before it plays out. If indeed it does, because that in itself is not guaranteed. And surely that becomes even more uncertain in scenarios where multiple outcomes are possible and are themselves subject to influence from a range of different variables.
@@coleuk8817 Casinos make their fortunes on odds that are built in to their games! They may lose for weeks or even months on end at times in certain situations, but in the long run, they will profit! It's inevitable, it's mathematics! Numbers don't lie! Even with sports betting, sportsbooks have losing seasons, but they don't lose for long! If you consistently bet on a given outcome at 10/1 odds when the true odds are 5/1, you will turn a profit at some point. Whether it's in a week or a year or 5 years, those numbers will catch up if the true odds are really what they are compared to the odds being offered. The variables don't matter, the numbers will play out as they should..in time!
Sissy Sassy I have seen far more upsets in tennis than football. Tennis is all reliant on one person, if they are having a bad day or injuries or anything they can easily lose to someone of far lower rank. Team games it’s less significant since there is usually a whole team and managers have the option to bring in substitutes if a player is having a bad day.
I agree with your concepts, but believe that 'value' can only be found using large amounts of historical data (which exists). All quant hedge funds are relying on Big Data (for which they pay enormous sums), horse racing is no different. So relying on odds changes in the final minute(s) doesn't meet that criteria. We logged odds data from 90 seconds out , every second, and found no correlation between falling odds (so called 'smart money') and better outcomes. And even if that could work, you'd have to have a reliable signal that odds will drop *naturally* from this point to race time, and take the higher odds. And when I say 'naturally' I mean The Crowd is doing this independently and not following 'group think' while watching the screen. I do agree about the horse (or team) being a proxy for odds, there's no reason to get fixated on a horse.
there are a lot of assumptions there are James. whilst I agree with a fair portion of it you're also missing a few things, big data when manipulated and used in the right way will without question be useful but you have to remember there are also some very large participants in the marketplace that have been using such datasets for decades. manipulation also goes on which may be shroud in your judgement. value can also be found in several other areas although I'm not so inclined to share on TH-cam for free, sorry.
Yeah same, I’ve found a way to win money and I’m surprised because I’ve been losing, I’m currently up $10000 and if it is sustainable I’ll put my whole effort into it
Hi Leo, no unfortunately not. In-play the same applies, although the bookmakers typically make their margin bigger because of the volatility of price movement (because there are less bets struck etc). So their margin is bigger, meaning the price is worse, even poorer value. In-play betting on things like football and cash-out is a truly hideous proposal. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for mate!
Hi Caan , thanks for reply. I no cash out is terrible , I’m talking say Man City to win before game is 1.2 then after 30 mins they are 1.4 that is value no ??
@@leonolan3939 i use that sort of "backing losing favourites" type strategy all the time and it is definitely profitable but of course you need to use an exchange to get the most out of it not a bookmakers
Great video! The tip with the true odds of the betting exchange was especially eye opening. I’ve got a question related to that, wouldn’t you have to consider commission into these true odds too? As in, the odds of the betting exchanges are the closest to being true odds after subtracting the commission?
Caan Berry Pro Trader I was referring to what you said around 2:35. I was wondering if let’s say the odds for o2.5 goals is 2.0 at betfair, are these even odds already the true odds? If you just want to assess the true odds of a particular event, nothing else? Or would you further have to subtract the 5% commission to calculate the truest odds in a way, as I presumed traders would factor that in on top of the true odds in order to compensate the loss of the 5%? To stick with the example of the o2.5 at even odds, if you wager 10 pounds you would receive 19 pounds if successful after commission. Would hence be 1.9 the closest to the true odds of o2.5 goals or already the odds at 2.0?
Thanks Caan, finally the truth about betting, no one will believe you though as most think the colour of the jockey's under trollies are a good indicator and add value. I discovered the maths a few years back and just went on a value betting spree and was eventually gubbed to death. Great fun. Nowadays I use value as a basis for my tipping site as that makes a lot more money and is zero hassle. If my subscribers knew I never ever watch a horse race or look at the form they would have several fits but as you say you could be betting on three legged donkeys and make money if the price is right. I automated the tipping using the BF API and am actually looking for some co-operation on a new project for auto arbing/value betting. Let me know if you would be interested or know someone who is.
Cheers, Stephen. You're correct of course, its sad that so many think like that (and listen to the medias narative, paid for by bookies). Inevitably doing this you will get restricted as people have seen in other videos.. fair few quid in it though.

Hi Caan, solid content like usual. Do you have any suggestions on which bookmakers allow for really fast live bet placement? I've been using a few bookmakers that take up to 11 seconds just to process a live bet which is ridiculous and a lot of value is lost when I miss good prices. If you could even point me in the right direction that would be great!
Of course I do. I just don't do it all for free :) ....why would I? Same as the rest of the world! Regarding bookies fast bet placement? They put the delays in for a reason, you won't find a faster one. Bit of a stupid question when you think about it.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Isn't that the whole point of your channel to help people become better traders? I didn't know if was used for self-promotion only which goes against the image that I believe you have presented to date - of wanting to help other traders develop. If it is for self-promotion only, then that makes me question why you're looking for additional sources of income and suggests you're not making enough from trading. And since there is considerable difference between in play time delays from bookmaker to bookmaker as well as sport to sport, I don't think it's a stupid question at all, and if anything, it shows a level of thinking and consideration that is at least higher than your average punter at the bar.
"Isn't that the whole point of your channel to help people become better traders?" Yes, but everything has a price right? If you get a plumber to switch out your boiler he's helping you, but does paying him make it disingenuous? No. "I didn't know if was used for self-promotion only" Are you serious? Sticking the word 'only' in there makes it quite twisted, and shows you probably have some alternate agenda here. Probably why the account looks anonymous. Anyway, why would anyone bother making TH-cam videos if there was zero benefits in doing so? It costs them time. The whole of TH-cam is pretty much self-promoting. "If it is for self-promotion only, then that makes me question why you're looking for additional sources of income" Question it all you want. I'm not bothered, I've proved it many times over. I wonder if you would question using Virgin Atlantic because Richard Branson had already made enough money with Virgin Megastores. Flawed logic, many successful people have multiple streams of income, it just makes sense to. The delayed placement one is pretty daft, as if any bookie is going to give you a super-fast delay increasing your chances of beating them.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Seemed like OP was asking a genuine question and made some good points in his other message. Not sure why your immediate response was to insult and get defensive.
firstly thanks for taking the time to share the video. You are right, price dictates everything, if something is bigger than you think it should be, look into backing it. Question, if something is 3-1, it should win 25% of the time, is that 3-1 on the video with bookmaker over-round factored in however? Also it looks like from the video, the majority of your trading is done on Betfair, have you factored in commission payments? Thanks
Long time bettors are the bread and butter of the bookies. Your first instinct is usually wrong, you'll bet it anyway. Most are underdog averse and afraid to bet to win.
people are terrible at making mathematical and statistical judgements with their mind alone, relying on gut instinct and judgement like this will never end well.
Not sure where to post this. Been watching your videos & betting on Betfair exchange on a laptop without any software as yet, although have looked at Geeks Toy but not very computer literate. Also have the book but halfway through it. Right have laid a horse on Betfair & then backed it with a smaller amount to cover the bet which meant whichever horse won I was making a profit of about 10-15% of my original stake. The cash sign also comes up with the offer of a cash out !! do I take that as well or ignore it ?
to cash out with BT spread profit across the entire market. if you are backing for £2 and laying for £2 then you would only see the profit on the selection that you placed the bits because it is not hedged aka cashed out.
The approach fails miserably when betting on horses because there's so much movement in the price right at post time. The horses are out of the gate and the price is still flying all over the place as everyone is submitting their bets in the last seconds on their betting app. It sounds like a good idea to exploit change, but you have no idea what that change is because of the volatility at the critical moment. Pretty good video though.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I came to the conclusion by going to the track in recent years and seeing how the sport has changed with online wagering. Most of the betting action is in the last minute right down to the start of the race. Everyone's trying to execute the same strategy so it doesn't work.

Are you serious? I quit my job to trade sports odds a decade ago, and have never looked back. A byproduct of that was the worlds largest sports exchange sponsoring me to help educate their other customers on use etc, which is where this channel began.

Yeah, but. Exactly when looking at the exchange betting site, like Betfair for example, what is what i must be looking for to find which are the odds higher than should be? The blue or the pink ones?
Hey Caan, in your opinion, what would you say is the number 1 horse 'Trading' strategy 'That Works' pre or post-off..scalping, front runners, b2l'ing steamers, or another? &what racing market would best suits the strategy
If you forced me to choose one, trading short-term based on support and resistance... an overlap with scalping there for sure although not entirely scalping alone.

This is why we all need to be using an exchange! In football the odds lose their efficiency after kick off, some prices will be terrible value while others will be amazing. It is your job to exploit these inefficiencies by using pre match and in play information. Form a plan of action and stick to it, stake no more than 3% of your bank on any one trade and use this 3% wisely. In other words the 3% is your maximum risk so stake according to risk.
Bang on the money there, Robbie.

I understood the concept of expected value being greater than the implied probability from the odds, in order to make an expected profit. But this still doesn't change the fact that the probability that a bet with 4 odds has approximately 25% of winning, which is quite low
Thanks for sharing. I've had a few losses this year and when I think back I was betting on my opinion on how I perceive the event (I.e the player/team) rather than the odds value. It's made me re evaluate how I look at match betting now. Hopefully will help me raise profit + ROI.
Did it help?
Its 50/50 with those odds and its 50/50 with going with your own believe. I say that because when I go with the odds, I win probably 50 percent of the time and when I go against the odds I win about 50 percent of the time. Even if you win 9 out of 10 bets, it all seems to even out. I guess the best strategy is to win a little, chill, then start again
Bro… why 😂😭..
“I’ve had a few losses this year”…

It is all about value and it amazes me that people bet more the shorter the odds are rather than the more value they get. I had £900 on a 100-1 horse before because it was huge value but I rarely ever bet that big on 2-1 shots.
Shorter odds are typically closer to true-odds in nature, but larger odds are usually the ones with a false price for whatever reason.
@@CaanBerryProTrader possibly on the surface the big priced events have little chance on the surface but with some more digging they have a much better chance
But if the price is bigger then the horse is less likely to win,so you are putting your betting bank more at risk.
Themaggsy1 no your not long odds horses or teams win a lot more often than people actually believe, you risk little to win big when the big odds eventually come In

very fair comment Phil
The teams/players/horses do matter, since you need a baseline percentage to workout what a value bet looks like. Ofc it matters a lot less if your just trading positions, since your just looking for changes in the market.
if you're looking to price an entire market, not if you are looking to steal some value.

The best strategy is to bet against your friend bet :))) because they will always loose :))))
I suppose that's fun if you do it that way at least!
This applies to games like roulette because the odds are absolutely mathematically fixed. It’s not the same for horse racing as you cannot truly gauge what the true mathematical probability of winning is. You can have the wisdom of the crowd but that’s not the same as absolute mathematical truth as in roulette. The underlying fundamentals are obviously correct however.
Indeed, numbers don't lie!
Opening lines do take into account public perception not always true implied probability and line movement isn't always indicative of money in/out. Weather could change, a player could be out, other things can move the line and change the true probability . Then you need to find a book that is offering you lines that are better than open and hope they keep your account open, not many books do that and most wont for long.
There is a strategy opposite to this most swear by called steam chasing. Everyone has a 100% winning strategy, it's just not the case.
Wisdom of crowds is a thing though... with hundreds of thousands of users on an exchange.
It is very hard to find someone on TH-cam who makes sense.Everyone has strategies...they simply don t work.There are only 2 sure ways of making money from betting: matched betting and arbitrage.That is math.The other ones are all relying on probabilities thus include risks.Yes,we know,long term...blah blah blah.Mathematically.In the practical world,the punter who just had a losing streak of n bets,can t abstain himself and puts his money on the first bet he finds.That is tilting.Strategies are extremely dangerous just because they depend on variance A LOT.Everything is good when u hit 2 3 in a row...but what happens when u lose in a row? That s why Martingale,Fibonacci,Labouchere,D Alembert,Paroli don t really work in real life .Of course,theoretically,it must hit Red sometimes,right?After 99 blacks.But do u still have money left in the bank? Not really.Every single idiot who posted on TH-cam about betting is talking nonsense.They all think theirs is the one.Lay the draw,lay the draw with insurance,bad each way races,always back the favourite away...etc.They simply don t work for the normal punter.Only if u have bots to find the real value .

Find some strategy and success before parting with your money. See the latest upload, thats a strategy that works.
Funny how you didn't tell anyone how to find value in the end. For that people need to sign up to your courses. Which is probably how you make actual money.
in fact he did. You must to look at the exchanges odds closest to the start of the event. than you must to search for odds that are bigger on the other bookmakers. the bigger the gap between the odds the bigger the value and the bigger you must to stake. But it's really hard to find those value bets without a software. and then you must to pay for online bookies who can find these value bets alone. Or you can go for surebets too. In the end I think it's really hard work for a little outcome and If you go big you will get restricted. Think of another way to make real money. The only way to make money online betting and make millions is by courtside betting. But also to do that it s a bit hard and you need not to get caught as it is more restricted. If you wanna know more about it go here th-cam.com/video/kvT_yIVI2Qw/w-d-xo.html
Even then he can't tell you because nobody knows what the bfsp will be, you can anticipate moves some of the time but that's it. If anyone tells you different then they're lying
If you think that, you'll never find it. But even now in 2020 it still happens daily, and no, I'm not lying. I'm not just going to put that bit on TH-cam, because, why would I?

Great video mate 👍
What about surebets (arbitrage betting)? Is Betnetto surebets good platform? I overheard some guy at the restaurant talking about how he earn 2k monthly by playing surebets. Can this be real?
Arbitrage is a relatively safe way of milking incorrect odds yes. Never heard of the platforms you mention.
Arbitrage bettors will be limited by bookies within about a week and there’s little profit to be made from then on. You can make a few quid at the beginning but It’s not sustainable. The only way to make long term profits is to bet with exchanges such as Betfair and have a proven winning strategy.
Made a whole document that calculated the chance of team a or b winning chance of scoring in first 10 min 10-20min etc against each time, bet 25 ish times a day and average a 0,8% return a day
Caan I know you're advocating taking value here, which is of course, the only way to make long-term profit. I agree with all that, but you're saying the best way to ascertain the relative 'value' or true odds of an event occurring is to look at the exchanges near the off, again true, this is when the exchange is most accurate as the odds are ultimately dictated by supply and demand and the money changing hands, and the wisdom in numbers means this is the truest price, the problem is how can you then find value elsewhere? If you found a bookie offering a higher price than the exchange near the off, I'd like you to let me know which bookie that is? Because all you'll get at that stage is liveshows. And if you consistently do manage BEFORE the liveshows to get higher prices with bookies, you know what will happen, as you've shown on other videos. You'll just get banned. So how can this actually be applied? If you're talking about finding value actually on the exchanges, how, as the price changes so does the relative implied probability? It's kind of like reverse logic. You're using the current trading price to give you the 'true odds' but you can't beat the current trading price? If the price goes out, then now the new price is the current trading price, so now that is the 'true odds', you see what I'm saying with this? Where do you get the value from?
Hey! Not seen a comment from you for a while. Hope you're well... in answer:
1. how can you then find value elsewhere?
Think I understand what you're asking but; there is not such value in every instance. Anticipation of movement is the key because you have an opportunity to exploit the price for a limited time.
2. I'd like you to let me know which bookie that is?
Unfortunately, it changes by the day, hour, minute... they all do at one point or another. None are super-efficient.
3. So how can this actually be applied?
Yep, you'll get banned for winning. That's bookies business model. In the short term you can certainly apply and take value though, its just not going to be a golden goose forever.
4. how, as the price changes so does the relative implied probability? Remeber it's not an eternal sliding scale, we're talking about the last minute to post in most cases when the market is most fluid and accurate.
5. You can't beat the current trading price? You can. And while I'd love to discuss and share this with you as I know you're a long-term follower with some great insight, I'm just not going to put that part on TH-cam at this stage :) ...but you can.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Okay thanks Caan. And I am actually a subscriber to your video pack. I'm going to go through it all again during this lockdown period. See if I can get even more out of it if I go through it methodically. Cheers for the reply
On the toss of the coin the bookies won’t give you evens on heads or tails, they’ll give you 9/10 (or possibly 4/5) on both. A mark-up of 10-20%. As you say it isn’t rocket science.
They do though, by mistake, sometimes. Not in the majority of cases as you say though :)
Bookies are the biggest winners after all
Of course they are, they add rediculous margins and ban winners (see other vids on the chan).
@@CaanBerryProTrader Not always very often it is the very lack of value that bet 365 give with their early greyhound prices that gives the punter value if he knows what he is doing let me explain. The bet 365 greyhound odds compilers aren't that clued up and thus in nearly every bags race they tend to underestimate and overestimate several dogs chances to a large degree and thus this gives the punter two chances of making a good profit firstly by backing two dogs in certain races where in your opinion both dogs are overpriced and secondly by doing combination forecasts in races where you think your selections are overpriced. Of course you can only do this with 365 because they are the only bookmakers who offer guaranteed prices on forecasts and only last week i had three forecasts that paid way over the industry forecast dividend including one that paid £40 pound with bet 365 while the industry forecast for the same race was just over £10 of course it goes without say that you have to know your dogs and you must be selective with your bets to make it work
It was suggested i follow your channel to enlighten myself..so here i am.
Good stuff.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I really need the idiots guide to gambling as I'm not very quick on the uptake..😉
I take it you keep track of all of your wins / losses on a spreadsheet. Stupid question but are you ever tempted to just stop when you hit the top, just to stop you from chasing the top again?
no because chasing is not an issue for me I don't bring in motion to the table I only take value and place my bet when I know I am in a good position otherwise I just watch
Not sure I agree with your picks, but interesting perspective!
might be a dumb question, say your bet is losing. EG a football team is losing 2-0, should you cash out or should you let all bets run?
The margin I mention in the video that is applied by a bookie makes it bad value. You should know, when you cash-out with them they apply this margin again... so double-screwed yes. You would need to be taking huge value in order to back with a bookie and cash out with them and still be in the green.
i would use asian handicap live odds to scrap some profit
Don't do accumulator.simple
his reply makes sense but some bookies dont screw over second time i think, and when you wonder if you should cash out, my tip is look at your own bank do you need that money, think about your overall luck factor dont know if you get this, and try to find feeling can it go wrong, ask yourself if losing team is really doing worse if score dont makes sense i suggest cash out.
no. gamble the lot
I used to work out the over round in the betting shops before a race to gauge value. You have to take into account with horses people will back favourite names, jockeys which distort the pricing. All a bookie wants is his little bit of the pie.
Sure! Although it's not all that little when you work it out, is it. 365 done 660 Million profit last year alone.
@@CaanBerryProTrader People have a go at the Coates's, at least they had the foresight to see where betting was going and started Bet365 Online. In over 200 countries betting on horses, poker, bingo, etc. There's always winners and losers. What gets me is when they pay millions for football players?, The likes of Moore, Pele, Best all missed the good times.
Fact is, no one knows the true price. Not even the bookmakers. Anyone who believes they do is fooling themselves and will empty their bank account pretty quickly. Yes the bookmakers will have a reasonably close approximation of the odds for any particular event to begin with, but the way they make their profit is to use complex algorithms to adjust those odds depending upon how much money is wagered for or against a particular outcome so that they guarantee a profit no matter the actual outcome.
So the reality is, the closer to the event start that you wait to make your bet, by that time the bookies have already adjusted their odds to ensure they make a profit.
Nobody? Some of what you say holds some truth there, but saying nobody knows.... isn't.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I stick by what I say. Nobody can be certain of the true odds on a consistent basis. And for this to be workable, you have to be able to do this consistently, otherwise it's just gambling.

Your a professional on your horses. Myself sports. Yes close to the start of event you lay down. In terms of getting value all the betting places have similar prices anyway. Line betting is the only way to be profitable. Yes they take 9% always the line is 1.91. dont the be taking short lines. I firmly believe in keeping the same stake. If your picking 2/3 winners your profitable. 8/10 your profitable. 1/2 loose small amounts. Sometimes you can loose 4-5 times in a row but purple patches of 10-15 winners in a row happens more. Media always pumps the wrong tyres up. Do your own research.
True, so long as all those winners you pick are a higher price than the average odds they represent. Price is the important thing, could pick 3 winners out of 10... but if you were getting (9.0) 8/1 on each winner, you'd be far in the lead.
whats your profit last 5 years? easy tell yourself just got to hit winners even they pay out 1.91, results dont lie, i doubt your winning on the long run and i dont mean your last 20 bets or whatever where you hit your patch, fact bookmaker not blocked you yet mean your not considered a winner

You're entirely right. Many people don't even think about it though. The inclination is to just automatically believe the mainstream media and have a punt picking the winner. Thanks.
I great strategy i have found to make steady profit is playing for a cash out. Maybe not the best for long term, however i will do a football acca on say 6 games to not finish 0-0. Now 0-0 isn't a common score in football but it can happen, but the likelyhood is, 4 or 5 of those games are going to have a scorer. At that point you cash out. Its rare that i lose on this and even though im not making mega profit its adding up. A few £30-£150 wins every day or 2 goes a long way. And the more you have you more you can essentially put on for larger profit margins.
Where do you do this?
On a Saturday with full list of football fixtures I like to bet on both teams to score yes with odds of evens or above that way I usually always make a healthy profit
Do you just choose the games with odds of evens or above randomly or do you look into both of the teams' match history (for example if both teams score often in other games they have played)?
Just look at the odds evens or better hard atm due to lack of fixtures
I like to look at a horse when they come on the track during the post parade and how they look, that gives me a yes or no pick
good simple walkthrough of how odds are compiled and how to find value bets.
Thanks, that's what we intended! Cheers, glat it helped.
This video is gold if you really understand it
You got it! Think it has gone over a few peoples head to be honest but its quite simple really, understanding it and then looking in the right places is the key.
I think when you combine value with knowledge of teams, you have a dream scenario. Teams do matter because they are human being with emotions and tendencies. American sports especially, teams get streaky (hot and cold). Also, sometimes, good teams getting embarrassed last time out, 3 games in 4 nights, etc can all impact a teams value that night. I find with basketball and hockey, I find tremendous value in the live betting market (alternative betting), where ill get odds of something happened at 40% but its above that. Than if the line moves enough in my favor, ill either let it ride or sometimes try and hit the middle. very hard to do with soccer but a sound strategy for Most American sports.
Value wins or loses everything. Doesn't matter what you know about a team if there is no value, you just can't win!
No project like lzn

Hello Caan! Thanks for posting this video! I have a question. If i know the true odds, how do you increase the odds to gain value? Some odds posted are greater or lower than all 3 true odds calculated by me. We must calculate the true odds of all bookies to make comparison with?
Exchanges provide the best guage of true odds for us due to the many voices involved and the liquidty available.
Great video!

Arbitraging the sports betting market. How interesting
Am I the only one who didn’t understand this at all?
Possibly not the only one. What is it you didn't understand? In order to win betting, you must bet at a bigger price than the implied chance of the event happening. Over the long term, by doing this, you will win, its a mathmatical fact. This is the point we are trying to get over whist explaining a few other things.... its got jack all to do with the right team etc.
@@CaanBerryProTrader still don't understand when you say 'price' you say 'odd'? when you say 'event from happening' you say 'tsunami or hurricane?' i'm lost
yeah man same here, the concepts seem to be so simple but the words used and way of thinking got me so confused
It doesn't make any mathematical sense. The whole concept of "value" in sports betting is flawed. The so-called experts try to con us by giving examples of tossing a coin but sports betting has nothing in common with flipping a coin. And good luck to anyone who wants to work out whether odds offered are higher than the true probability of a sporting outcome - in most cases it's impossible.
Live is all about betting it only depends on where you bet your money, one rule of betting is to play from one of the trusted prediction site.
Not really, the sites are just facilitating data. Always trust the data! And watch out for affiliate links on the prediction sites.
It's all nice and tidy with the figures, but real life is not figures.
Probability does not work in horse races, football or any other sport. It only works in the Casino and they have their safety margin already.
So call me naive, but there is no betting strategy that is not based on luck.
Bayern usually wins with high goal difference against poor opposition at home? You found the best odds because of your famous calculation? BAM, 3:3 against Bielefeld.
If probability doesn't work, how do bookmakers choose the odds and make money? Were they just luckier than everyone else? ....thought not.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Bookmakers are not the ones placing the bet. I'm not a bookmaker, so what can I do about bookmaking?
I understand the logic behind value but still feel there are question marks. First, surely there is also a subjective element to value that by definition cannot be quantified. And I also feel that the notion of winning over the longer term is extremely vague. How do you define longer term? For instance, here you use 100 bets to illustrate the different returns when value is obtained. But there is no way of knowing how many bets you'd have to place in order for the identified probability to play out. Could be 50, 100, 1000 or whatever. If it is not working out after a certain time or number of bets, how long to you hang in there before returns identified by probability do emerge? To me, it almost seems like the proverbial 'how long is a piece of string' scenario that is further complicated in events (such as horse races) where multiple different outcomes are possible.
Hi Cole, long-term is relative to the avearge odds range your are targetting. It can't just be a set period as it wouldnt relative the variance and odds line. I feel the question is somewhat awkward as, when you look at the facts and numbers involved it cannot be denied. Of course there is variation in results, but if you are consistently getting a bigger price than the value of it happening you will come out on top. Everything can be quantified. The larger your value or edge over true odds the quicker the cash lands in your pocket. I feel you're looking to overcomplicate it a little there.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I don't think I am over-complicating the issue at all. I believe that the concept of value is itself somewhat vague because of the subjectivity involved. One of the things I struggle to accept is this almost blind faith in the belief that obtaining 'value' guarantees success. Whatever great a price you might obtain, the outcome still has to occur in order for you to profit. For instance, it's no good repeatedly getting, say, 10/1 on a horse you think should be a 5/1 shot if that horse repeatedly loses. And I know the probability argument will then enter the fray, but my point relates to how long before it plays out. If indeed it does, because that in itself is not guaranteed. And surely that becomes even more uncertain in scenarios where multiple outcomes are possible and are themselves subject to influence from a range of different variables.
@@coleuk8817 Casinos make their fortunes on odds that are built in to their games! They may lose for weeks or even months on end at times in certain situations, but in the long run, they will profit! It's inevitable, it's mathematics! Numbers don't lie! Even with sports betting, sportsbooks have losing seasons, but they don't lose for long! If you consistently bet on a given outcome at 10/1 odds when the true odds are 5/1, you will turn a profit at some point. Whether it's in a week or a year or 5 years, those numbers will catch up if the true odds are really what they are compared to the odds being offered. The variables don't matter, the numbers will play out as they should..in time!
Well explained .. thanks
You are welcome
But how do you actually know what is good value ?
Awesome stuff Cann!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video - cheers
Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that tennis an basketball are more predictable and slightly easier to predict
Why did you come to that conclusion? The value is in the price... nothing to do with the prediction :)
Sure brother

Sissy Sassy I have seen far more upsets in tennis than football. Tennis is all reliant on one person, if they are having a bad day or injuries or anything they can easily lose to someone of far lower rank. Team games it’s less significant since there is usually a whole team and managers have the option to bring in substitutes if a player is having a bad day.
I bet football, tennis, hockey, basketball and ufc. Basketball by far is the easiest to get right on most nights.
I agree with your concepts, but believe that 'value' can only be found using large amounts of historical data (which exists). All quant hedge funds are relying on Big Data (for which they pay enormous sums), horse racing is no different. So relying on odds changes in the final minute(s) doesn't meet that criteria. We logged odds data from 90 seconds out , every second, and found no correlation between falling odds (so called 'smart money') and better outcomes. And even if that could work, you'd have to have a reliable signal that odds will drop *naturally* from this point to race time, and take the higher odds. And when I say 'naturally' I mean The Crowd is doing this independently and not following 'group think' while watching the screen. I do agree about the horse (or team) being a proxy for odds, there's no reason to get fixated on a horse.
there are a lot of assumptions there are James. whilst I agree with a fair portion of it you're also missing a few things, big data when manipulated and used in the right way will without question be useful but you have to remember there are also some very large participants in the marketplace that have been using such datasets for decades. manipulation also goes on which may be shroud in your judgement. value can also be found in several other areas although I'm not so inclined to share on TH-cam for free, sorry.
I want to learn more on betting
This channel is the place then! This video is quite clearly laying out how value bets are done.
good video, you are right, a succesfull bettors must be well prepared with a good strategy
I bet on goals and corners !
Cool. But where's the edge?
Your whole value thing just confused me but I'm up $1300 in 19 days so I'm gonna keep doing my thing!
Yeah same, I’ve found a way to win money and I’m surprised because I’ve been losing, I’m currently up $10000 and if it is sustainable I’ll put my whole effort into it
@@johndiggle656 Nice story.
@@johndiggle656you got any socials I can dm u on
Hi Caan , in play with bookmakers though u can still get value. Is that correct. Because of price drift 👍🏼
Hi Leo, no unfortunately not. In-play the same applies, although the bookmakers typically make their margin bigger because of the volatility of price movement (because there are less bets struck etc). So their margin is bigger, meaning the price is worse, even poorer value. In-play betting on things like football and cash-out is a truly hideous proposal. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for mate!
Hi Caan , thanks for reply. I no cash out is terrible , I’m talking say Man City to win before game is 1.2 then after 30 mins they are 1.4 that is value no ??
@@leonolan3939 i use that sort of "backing losing favourites" type strategy all the time and it is definitely profitable but of course you need to use an exchange to get the most out of it not a bookmakers
@@leonolan3939 By that logic Man city is big value at 3.0 when there's 5 minutes left.
Great video!
The tip with the true odds of the betting exchange was especially eye opening. I’ve got a question related to that, wouldn’t you have to consider commission into these true odds too? As in, the odds of the betting exchanges are the closest to being true odds after subtracting the commission?
Sure, but if you're using a sportsbook at true odds or above there is no commission... or have I misunderstood you?
Caan Berry Pro Trader
I was referring to what you said around 2:35. I was wondering if let’s say the odds for o2.5 goals is 2.0 at betfair, are these even odds already the true odds? If you just want to assess the true odds of a particular event, nothing else?
Or would you further have to subtract the 5% commission to calculate the truest odds in a way, as I presumed traders would factor that in on top of the true odds in order to compensate the loss of the 5%?
To stick with the example of the o2.5 at even odds, if you wager 10 pounds you would receive 19 pounds if successful after commission. Would hence be 1.9 the closest to the true odds of o2.5 goals or already the odds at 2.0?
Cool video. Where can we get before a race and opening (as soon as odds are available) price data to run some algos?
Betfair Historical Data? See this - th-cam.com/video/sVMcLLoH06M/w-d-xo.html
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks Caan, finally the truth about betting, no one will believe you though as most think the colour of the jockey's under trollies are a good indicator and add value. I discovered the maths a few years back and just went on a value betting spree and was eventually gubbed to death. Great fun. Nowadays I use value as a basis for my tipping site as that makes a lot more money and is zero hassle. If my subscribers knew I never ever watch a horse race or look at the form they would have several fits but as you say you could be betting on three legged donkeys and make money if the price is right. I automated the tipping using the BF API and am actually looking for some co-operation on a new project for auto arbing/value betting. Let me know if you would be interested or know someone who is.
Cheers, Stephen. You're correct of course, its sad that so many think like that (and listen to the medias narative, paid for by bookies). Inevitably doing this you will get restricted as people have seen in other videos.. fair few quid in it though.
Can you explain what you mean by automated the tipping using betfair api please? Cheers
@@CaanBerryProTrader I've won £10000 this month doing trebles and singles etc but I've hit a stopping point and can't get past 10k.. Keep going from 8k too 9k back and forth.. Any suggestions?
Betting is more about emotions than anything else
Hi Caan, solid content like usual. Do you have any suggestions on which bookmakers allow for really fast live bet placement? I've been using a few bookmakers that take up to 11 seconds just to process a live bet which is ridiculous and a lot of value is lost when I miss good prices. If you could even point me in the right direction that would be great!
Caan ofc you won't reply and give out any truly useful information
Of course I do. I just don't do it all for free :) ....why would I? Same as the rest of the world!
Regarding bookies fast bet placement? They put the delays in for a reason, you won't find a faster one. Bit of a stupid question when you think about it.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Isn't that the whole point of your channel to help people become better traders? I didn't know if was used for self-promotion only which goes against the image that I believe you have presented to date - of wanting to help other traders develop. If it is for self-promotion only, then that makes me question why you're looking for additional sources of income and suggests you're not making enough from trading.
And since there is considerable difference between in play time delays from bookmaker to bookmaker as well as sport to sport, I don't think it's a stupid question at all, and if anything, it shows a level of thinking and consideration that is at least higher than your average punter at the bar.
"Isn't that the whole point of your channel to help people become better traders?" Yes, but everything has a price right? If you get a plumber to switch out your boiler he's helping you, but does paying him make it disingenuous? No.
"I didn't know if was used for self-promotion only" Are you serious? Sticking the word 'only' in there makes it quite twisted, and shows you probably have some alternate agenda here. Probably why the account looks anonymous. Anyway, why would anyone bother making TH-cam videos if there was zero benefits in doing so? It costs them time. The whole of TH-cam is pretty much self-promoting.
"If it is for self-promotion only, then that makes me question why you're looking for additional sources of income" Question it all you want. I'm not bothered, I've proved it many times over. I wonder if you would question using Virgin Atlantic because Richard Branson had already made enough money with Virgin Megastores. Flawed logic, many successful people have multiple streams of income, it just makes sense to.
The delayed placement one is pretty daft, as if any bookie is going to give you a super-fast delay increasing your chances of beating them.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Seemed like OP was asking a genuine question and made some good points in his other message.
Not sure why your immediate response was to insult and get defensive.
Still don't get how you identify a price of good value. Like in football betting, there so many markets. How do you know the price to go for?
firstly thanks for taking the time to share the video. You are right, price dictates everything, if something is bigger than you think it should be, look into backing it. Question, if something is 3-1, it should win 25% of the time, is that 3-1 on the video with bookmaker over-round factored in however? Also it looks like from the video, the majority of your trading is done on Betfair, have you factored in commission payments? Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Long time bettors are the bread and butter of the bookies. Your first instinct is usually wrong, you'll bet it anyway. Most are underdog averse and afraid to bet to win.
people are terrible at making mathematical and statistical judgements with their mind alone, relying on gut instinct and judgement like this will never end well.

Huh? LOL funny stuff.
Alternate point spreads is what I'm hearing
i can tell you now if i put a bet on the higher 3 , 4 dollars on tennis you 99percent chance of losing

Thanks for the video! The mentioned strategy works pretty well in sports I think. Am I right?
Yes
You are good man Caan 🙏
Thank you 🙌 im sure you are too! thanks for watching. Should see the most recent upload it shows an example
@@CaanBerryProTrader have a good Xmas mate
the only way to beat the bookies is with a balaclava a shotgun a 2.0litre jeep and a 4.45pm attack better odds means more value and success rates
Not true, but a funny comment all the same :D
Not sure where to post this. Been watching your videos & betting on Betfair exchange on a laptop without any software as yet, although have looked at Geeks Toy but not very computer literate. Also have the book but halfway through it.
Right have laid a horse on Betfair & then backed it with a smaller amount to cover the bet which meant whichever horse won I was making a profit of about 10-15% of my original stake. The cash sign also comes up with the offer of a cash out !! do I take that as well or ignore it ?
to cash out with BT spread profit across the entire market. if you are backing for £2 and laying for £2 then you would only see the profit on the selection that you placed the bits because it is not hedged aka cashed out.
This video is good for me because all I know is the roulette table in gta 🤣
Vinewood?
The approach fails miserably when betting on horses because there's so much movement in the price right at post time. The horses are out of the gate and the price is still flying all over the place as everyone is submitting their bets in the last seconds on their betting app. It sounds like a good idea to exploit change, but you have no idea what that change is because of the volatility at the critical moment. Pretty good video though.
Can see how you might come to that conclusion but its not the case mate.
@@CaanBerryProTrader I came to the conclusion by going to the track in recent years and seeing how the sport has changed with online wagering. Most of the betting action is in the last minute right down to the start of the race. Everyone's trying to execute the same strategy so it doesn't work.
do you want to earn 100$0 up to 500$ in just a couple of minutes by using $10 without any taking risk just ask me how :)
Do you bet or making these videos for money on TH-cam? Because I think making money from betting is way easier and huge if you can prove how effective your methods are...

Are you serious? I quit my job to trade sports odds a decade ago, and have never looked back. A byproduct of that was the worlds largest sports exchange sponsoring me to help educate their other customers on use etc, which is where this channel began. It's not a job when you do what you enjoy, plus the ad revenue on this channel is so low it's not even a factor! See the video about it...
@@CaanBerryProTrader Give us games to win then...
Just needed to add bit on using the kelly criterion for bet size on your last thoughts about raising bet size.
Stake sizes should reflect opporutnity.
Or you could be a poker dealer and let everyone else bet and make like $30+ an hour.
You could do, but what's that? 60k a year.... ish.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Yep and no stress of being right or wrong
@@truepokerdealer No payoff either.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Wrong. The best way to become a good poker player is to combine coaching and dealing. While you get paid, you can practice your live reads/hand reading skills. Then the payoff is after you get better at poker.
Dude, I know you're here just to promote your poker channel, but really, I'm not wrong... I make the annual figure you quoted there in just over a month trading sports odds. Don't have to face drunk people either. Think I'll stick to that.
Best strategy works for me is just bet opposite of my choice
Haha have heard this before, although it wouldn't if you were laying it on an exchange... there's commission to factor in.
I really wish I understood this video!
Nothing to understand! The same old pro-punter bollox about "value" and what constitutes value.
Yeah, but. Exactly when looking at the exchange betting site, like Betfair for example, what is what i must be looking for to find which are the odds higher than should be? The blue or the pink ones?
@@victorcadavid5761 The blue ones, in line with the sportsbooks line.
I wish I could make it even simpler!!!
Hey Caan, in your opinion, what would you say is the number 1 horse 'Trading' strategy 'That Works' pre or post-off..scalping, front runners, b2l'ing steamers, or another? &what racing market would best suits the strategy
If you forced me to choose one, trading short-term based on support and resistance... an overlap with scalping there for sure although not entirely scalping alone.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Ta, is it still advisable to employ directional bias scalping at odds below 3.0 & even below 2.0?
Please I have a problem with your no 1 betting strategy video. It is a good video but I do not understand the calculation from minute 3:21-4:00.PLEASE could you further simplify it?And also relate it more to football betting
we have some other useful football betting videos on this channel, the calculation you refer to to is known as cashing out or hedging. it's quite simple if you Google it for other examples. or see the trading explained tab at caanberry.com
brilliant video
Glad you enjoyed it. You don't often get honesty in this industry, but its how it works!
