When investing in sports betting, the primary objective is to make a profit, and to do so regularly.

What it is and how to benefit from it, we reveal all about this strategy.

How to benefit from long-term bets?

What is long-term betting?

You may have come across one at your usual bookmaker's without knowing its advantages. A long term bet is one where the outcome will only be known after several months or even years. In English, bookmakers call them "outrights".

Long-term betting is mainly valid for competitions scheduled to take place over a long period of time. This is the case, for example, in tennis with the French Open, in football with the World Cup or in basketball with the NBA. For the example of the World Cup, you will be making a long term bet when at the beginning of the competition you make a bet indicating that team A can win the tournament.

The particularity of long-term betting

Ordinarily, long-term bets offer very attractive odds.. This is to show you how much money you can make with this strategy. However, there is a lot of uncertainty in this type of betting. In a competition like the Premier League, 20 clubs are competing for the title. So your long term bet will have 20 possible outcomes.

You will have several chances to get a value bet because the quotation is done manually. This is the opposite of a single bet. A word of advice: betting on a favourite does not guarantee you a win. Long term betting is based on a bit of uncertainty and chance.

How to win?

The advantage of long term betting is that you can bet little and expect to win big. Just like a simple bet where you expect to win KES300 (with a big bet amount), you can make the same profit with a smaller bet. For a simple bet, to win KES300 you would need to bet KES600 on odds of 1.5. Thus 600 × 1.5 = 900, you will have made your profit of 300. Similarly, you only need to bet KES30 on a long term bet of odds 110 to win your KES300.

To win at sports betting using the long shot method, all you need to do is follow the essential bettor's guide. For example, a competition has favourites (odds below 10), underdogs (odds 10-20), a category called the soft underbelly (20-30) and the remaining participants (30-plus).
Let's say you have KES300 as a starting fund. In order to win your long term bet, we advise you to bet KES20 on 5 teams in the soft underbelly. This could net you between 400 and 600 KES if the winning team is there. Then bet KES50 on 3 underdogs while hoping to win between 500 and 1000 KES. Then finish by putting KES5 on one of the favorites. When all is said and done, you can expect to get your money back at the end of the competition and why not make a profit.
