Strategy Guide
For any strategy you use, there is a bet you can choose. Here are the most popular strategies that BetOnMarkets traders use and a list of which bets are best for employing each strategy.
Trends
A popular strategy is to bet with or against short-term market trends (market going up or down). For instance, if a market is rising, you may want to "ride" it by betting up, or bet against it by betting down.
Best bets to use for the Trend strategy: Rise/Fall.
News
Another popular strategy is to bet based on market news. For example, if the U.S. Federal Reserve is set to announce interest rates, which would likely have an impact on the U.S. dollar, you could make a bet that the dollar will go up or down versus another currency when the news is announced.
Best bets to use for the News strategy: Higher/Lower, Touch/No Touch.
Steady Returns
With a Steady Returns strategy, you make high probability/low return bets (10-30% return) repeatedly in order to "grind out" a profit.
Best bets for the Steady Returns strategy: In/Out with price barriers adjusted to give low returns.
Big Wins
With a Big Wins strategy, you make low probability/high return bets (200%+ return) and hope to win big. Obviously this is a risky strategy and we recommend that you only do this with money that you can readily afford to lose, and only after practicing with lower stakes bets.
Best bets for the Big Wins strategy: Touch/No Touch or In/Out with barriers adjusted to give high returns.
Betting system
With a Betting System strategy, you bet on the markets like you would on a roulette wheel or a coin flip - start small, bet often and consider employing a betting size strategy such as the Martingale or Kelly.
Best bets to use for the Betting System strategy: Rise/Fall, Runbets.
