Sure bet usage - different ways to use sure bets

You can use sure bets in many ways.

• for profit (usually it is the small profit of 1 or 2 percents so you have to bet huge amounts to get a real income)
• for currency exchange (if you have few accounts at different bookmakers with different currencies). You may for example try to loose your Euro at one bookmaker and instead gain some USD at the other. Remember however that you can not predict for sure which team will win and so which currency you will loose and which you will gain.
• for bonus circulation. Most bookmakers offer a bonus for new users making a reservation that the user must stake the bonus sum for example for 3 times. It means that when you will gain a bonus of 100 USD you will have to stake 300 USD together until you will be able to withdraw the bonus sum. You may play the sure bets to circulate the bonus sum over and over without a risk and after a couple of bets you may withdraw your bonus. In this case you may also be interested in "almost a sure bet". If the event is not actually a sure bet but it gives a small loss sometimes it is worth to use this event like a sure bet just to circulate the bonus.

• for betting at betting markets like betfair only. You do not have to bet at two or more bookmakers at the same time. If there is a sure bet found and one of the max odds comes from betfair you may assume that a betfair punter have probably made a mistake. Can you see the difference? The probability of that a professional bookmaker with many sports analitics and a great experience has made a mistake is much lesser than the probability of an error of the regular punter who puts his bets offer on betfair. So you may bet this event at betfair only as a value bet - you may lose or win this time but you may be expecting to be succesful on the long run.

You may also be interested in "almost a sure bet" - in case of the last two options of the above.
