Sports betting training
Outright is a bet to win a tournament, for example, Manchester United in the Premier League or Roger Federer at Wimbledon.
This type of long-term betting is available in almost all legal bookmakers, but many are wary of such outcomes. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of outright betting.

Advantages
Bookmakers accept deals prior to and during tournaments. This allows you to play it safe in the event of an erroneous forecast.
Let's say you bet on Manchester City's championship in the 2019/2020 England Championship. Already at the start, the “townspeople” began to lose points in fights with outsiders. Liverpool looked stronger and more stable. In this case, it would be advisable to bet on the winning of gold medals by the “Mercisays”.
In certain hands, a fork could turn out. If the quotes for the triumph of clubs were more than two, you would have made a profit regardless of which of the two opponents won the championship. But even without an arbitration situation, a safety net allows you to reduce losses.
In this regard, outright surpasses the classic rates, because most often you simply do not have time to make insurance when you realize that you made a mistake with your choice.
Another “pros” for outright bets is that you have enough time for a qualitative analysis. You can easily manage to study huge volumes of statistical information, tournament features, performance of an athlete / team over a long period of time and other data.
And, perhaps, the last plus of this type of bet is the high odds. Yes, there are low quotes for obvious favorites in the range of 1.1-1.5, but there are many profitable options with 2-5 odds. Crazy quotes of several tens or hundreds are rare. Yes, and such outcomes cannot be predicted, but hopes for luck – this is clearly an unprofessional approach.
By the way, in long-term rates, it is imperative to compare quotes, since the difference can be significant. The values differ by several units, and sometimes even tens.
For example, BC 1xStavka offers the following odds for the champion of Belarus in football:
The quotes from the Betcity bookmaker are as follows:
The values for the favorite represented by BATE are identical – 1.8 each, it is more profitable to bet on Shakhtar in 1xBet (2.63 versus 2.5), and on Dynamo Brest – in Betcity (25 versus 11).

disadvantages
The main disadvantage of outrights is unpredictability, difficult predictability. And if this is not the case, then the coefficient is indecently low. The championship of the conditional “PSG”, “Juventus” and “Bavaria” in their national championships are the most probable variants, however, they are estimated by the corresponding quotes.
When making a bet, you need to choose among a variety of outcomes. Predicting the result of a match, there are three markets – a victory of one of the opponents or a draw (and in tennis there are two at all). When betting on a champion, there are 5 options to consider, if not more.
In this case, the “Fan” strategy can help to place bets.
By the way, due to regular sensations, bookmaker companies reinsure themselves against possible losses, significantly increasing the margin in comparison with the usual events. Even low-margin offices can set odds with a commission of 20%.
Another “against” bets on outright – a long calculation (from several months to a year). The money that would be in the game could be used for other bets that were profitable. And so, they are frozen and useless.
In addition, one of the main problems in long-term play is small limits, especially if you predict the champion is not in the TOP league. Even the winner of the Champions League is unlikely to be able to put more than a few tens of thousands of rubles, let alone other competitions.
This disadvantage can be partially eliminated by making a bet with different bookmakers, but knowing how the odds may differ, this method is not always applicable.
Outcome
Outrights can be a profitable option, but they certainly won't work for constant play. It is better to focus on standard bets and make long-term bets only when you can make a confident forecast without significant effort and time.
Examples of choosing outcomes for outright can be found in a separate note. When analyzing the rate, consider the climate in the team, the relationship of the club management with the coaching staff, the schedule, selection and other nuances.
