Day 536: Instead of betting on World Cup outcomes where you'll probably lose money...
Focus on finding boosted odds.
Sportsbooks regularly offer them to attract users, and sometimes the value is so good that you can hedge the bet elsewhere for a guaranteed profit.
For example, my local sportsbook is currently offering 2.00x odds on France to score a goal.
The true odds are closer to 1.13x (max €50 stake).
Instead of gambling, you can:
>Bet €50 on France to score at the sportsbook
>Buy €6.68 of "France Under 0.5 Goals" on Polymarket
Option a) If France scores, you profit €43.32.
Option b) If France doesn't score, you break even.
This is the type of stuff I spend my time looking for during the World Cup.
