Even though betting is illegal in Malaysia, that doesn’t stop people there from placing bets on their favourite games. Some casinos still allow you to make small bets on some popular games like football, however, it may take some doing to find one of these casinos in Malaysia.
Another more common way for Malaysians to play sports bet is the online overseas casinos. If you are planning to bet on an upcoming football match, here are some tips you can use to improve your chances of earning.
If you are playing through an online casino website, be sure to get leverage of some good deals such as free bets or bonuses, etc.
Shop Around
The best benefit of playing online football bets is that you’ve got unlimited options. There are hundreds of international betting sites out there that allow you to place bets on Malaysian football games in your own local currency (Malaysian Ringgit) or in dollars. You need to do proper research before selecting a website to make your bids at. Most of these sites will offer you welcome bonuses, promotions, deals, etc. Make sure to choose a website that can give the best prediction odds for an ongoing game on which you want to bet.
There are some free tools like OddsChecker that compares and gives you the best odds from several websites around the web. More betting odds mean more chances you have to win more money from your bets.
Mind how you play
Sure, you’d like to win more money in a single game or from all of your bets, everyone does. But that still doesn’t justify the act of putting wagers in a wrong game or on a wrong team. Yes, I know you think that it is not possible to know which team is going to team and so, in advance, but actually, it is. This is where research and knowledge come handy.
Through some research and reading, you can actually manage to know everything there is know about the game or team on which you wish to make bets. This knowledge will help you a lot in deciding which team or player will make how many goals at what time and so on.
Another thing you can do is check odds at popular football odds websites, and bet accordingly. In short, make calculated bets if you actually wish to earn good money from a game.
Do Not Make Rash Decisions
No matter how heavily invested you are in the game of football, or in betting, or in both, it seldom pays you to bet irrationally. When it comes to football betting, the best thing you can do is take your time to understand the game before you actually place a wager on anything.
Have some Malaysian football betting resources, including people, blogs, forums, etc., which you can refer to whenever you need suggestions. There are many websites online where you can find information about upcoming fixtures, betting odds, predictions and more. Do subscribe to these websites for help. There are also many forums and questions-answers sites where you can put your betting related questions to be answered by industry experts.
Avoid Overspending
While betting on sports, it is a common thing to overspend, especially if you win the first few bets. But know that it doesn’t take much time for your luck to change and for you to lose everything you invested in a game. So, avoid spending more than your budget.
For that, you need to set a budget beforehand. A monthly or yearly budget will do fine. Set the budget and transfer the money in a separate account so that you cannot spend more than the fixed amount even if you want. Keep someone else, like your wife, in control of your money.
Your betting budget should depend on how much you can afford to lose in betting. Always think of the worst case scenario. If you win, you can use the money for many things, but even if you lose, you at least have the satisfaction that you haven’t lost everything. And never ever withdraw money from your savings in order to bet in a soccer game in Malaysia.
Bet Wisely
Always bet on what you know, not on what everything else says. It’s like listen to everyone but do only what your heart (or mind) thinks is right. If the Malaysian league is what you know the most about, be sure to watch the games carefully and place bets on it.
In the end, it all comes down to your favourites. If you have certain favourite teams, players or clubs, you should trust them when making football bets in Malaysia.
On the other hand, it is not usually wise to bet on a team or game which you know nothing about or that doesn’t interest you, no matter what the odds say.
The sports betting in Malaysia is a difficult industry to get into, but interesting at the same time. Follow these tips if you wish to make big in this industry.
