My name is Richard, I am 32 years old and have been living in the beautiful Hanseatic city of Hamburg for 2 decades. I have been pursuing my passion for sports betting for over 3 years now, and I made my first experiences with this pastime in a sports betting bar in Hamburg. Without any big ideas about sports betting I visited the bar with my friends and made comparatively random smaller bets for fun. As was to be expected, I lost the majority of these sports bets and even with the bets that I could win by pure luck, I only received small winning amounts. Despite the fact that I had lost the most sports bets, I noticed already then in the circle of my friends how betting was more and more fun for me. I especially liked the risk and the aspect that watching the respective sports events after a bet was far more interesting than without this addition. After my friends and I had left the sports betting bar, I always felt the need to deal more closely with this topic. So it didn’t take long until I searched the Internet for suitable providers for my newly discovered hobby and registered with an account on the respective pages.

With which online provider have I made good experiences with the sports betting

I have read many testimonials from other customers to get a picture of the whole sports betting provider. So I decided to use the website of “SportingBet” for my first bets. Here I found my way comparatively quickly after a short familiarization phase and was able to place the first bets. The difference to my experiences in the sport bet bar was that I informed myself before more exactly about the respective sport events. This allowed me to make more targeted bets that promised me a better chance of winning. Even though the majority of bets were less successful, I was able to gain a lot of experience in my early days in order to bet more and more successfully.

After I had registered with “SportingBet” for about half a year, I felt the desire for some variety and registered with “bet365”. Here I had through my collected experiences then fast the first successes, whereby some bets turned out quite well for me. Inspired by this success I placed up to 30 sports bets per week. In addition, during my time with “bet356”, I not only completed the respective games on my home computer, but also used the mobile version of the sports betting provider on my smartphone. So I could bet on the train (on the way to work) or sit comfortably on the couch and not miss a bet. Meanwhile I have bought a tablet with the money from a bigger bet and hardly use the computer anymore to place the sports bets.

After I was registered again nearly 6 months with “bet365”, I changed to the next sport bet offerer in the net. This was “Tipico” where I have been registered for almost two years now. This offerer corresponds exactly to my conceptions and up to now I do not feel any more the need to change again the offerer. Above all the more than large selection at kinds of sport and couches promises me with this offerer.

The development of my betting strategy and my biggest winnings

As I’ve already stated, sports bets were placed by mit especially at the beginning without much skill or knowledge. Accordingly, my chances of winning and actual money winnings were bad for many. But the more I dealt with the topic of sports betting, the more I learned about possible strategies for sports betting, such as the “Progressions Betting Strategy” or the “System Betting Strategy 3 out of 5”, to name just two examples. After I had informed myself extensively about the strategies and felt sure to be able to execute them myself, I tried all kinds once. Here I use quite small bet amounts, in order to keep my possible losses as small as possible. I especially like to make combination bets on favorites. In the meantime, I research 3 to 4 good betting tips per week for the favourite games via the Internet. During the research I pay special attention to the form of the favourites and of course the opponents. This is quite easy to find if I have the results of the last 3 matches of the respective teams displayed. Then I place combination bets with a minimum odds of 1.5 on the team that in my opinion will win or score the most points and so on. Of course, I often use other strategies, but always return to the favorite combination bet.

With this betting strategy, I have been able to make my biggest winnings so far, sometimes up to 400 euros. In most cases, however, my winnings are significantly lower and range between 40 and 120 Euros per week. But there are also always bad days, when just nothing will work out, like last week. Here I had to accept by a larger number of wrongly placed bets, altogether a loss of 125 euro. On such days it is accordingly difficult to find a motivation for the further bets, however, the desire seized me up to now again and again, and as soon as the first profits were obtained, the made losses were forgotten fast. In order to keep my risks as low as possible, I have set myself a maximum limit of 100 Euro for betting each week. In most cases, however, I stay below 80 Euros. In order to be able to use thereby a fast deposit and payout, I use the payment variant Skrill with my current offerer Tipico. I have had good experiences with this and will continue to use it in the future.

My motivation for sports betting on the Internet

More interesting for me is that my main motivation for sports betting on the net is not the possibility to win money. Rather the whole preparation motivates me to be able to place the right bets. I really enjoy comparing the different teams, watching the games and making the right decisions. The money I get from good research confirms that I will continue to pursue my strategy and make my best efforts. It’s more difficult to maintain my motivation if I lose again, which fortunately isn’t the case so often in recent months. In this case I take a break from sports betting and tried not to think about betting for two or three days. After this short time-out, I find it easier to get back to sports betting again. Until now I had never reached a point where I said I wanted to stop betting on sports completely. This hobby has become a part of my life that I don’t want to miss anymore and so I won’t give up so quickly.
