| | What is the true winning percentage of a proffesional soccerpunterWritten by winder leow
Many people believe professional-level sports bettors win at least 60% of their bets. It's understandable that people think that, but it's just not true. The fact is, difference between percentage of bets won by successful sports bettors and percentage of bets won by losers is relatively very small. Anyone can expect to win 50 percent. After all, only thing required is to flip a coin and pick a side. The bookmakers' profit comes from difference between what a bettor must risk and what a bettor expects to win. Every time a player wins, bookmaker withholds slightly more than 9 percent of winnings ($1 for every $11 risked). Consequently, a bettor winning only half his bets will ultimately go broke.
