The Reverse Bet is a money management tool for the bettor similar to an IF bet.

A reverse is a series of IF bets going both forward and in “reverse” order. Each team included in the Reverse will pair with another team to form two IF bets, one with that team first and another with that team as the second team in the IF.

Each bet in the reverse is an individual straight wager for the full amount of the reverse (each bet is for the same amount).

All bets in the Reverse are bet with the condition “If, win only” meaning the next bet will only be placed if the previous one wins (ties or cancellations will void all subsequent bets).

Rules

The rules of IF bets apply

The amount chosen for the Reverse is the same amount for each IF bet in the Reverse.

The maximum risk of the Reverse is calculated by multiplying the highest risk between the straight bet times two.

The maximum win is calculated by adding all wins of the straight bets on the IF bets.

2-10 teams may be including in a Reverse. In the case of more than two teams chosen the reverse is all possible combinations of two team if bets and their reverse with all the selections.

Each bet included in the Reverse is bet under the condition IF Win Only. Ties and cancellations will void all subsequent bets

No Open bets are allowed in a reverse

Example

Let’s say you have locked two picks for Sunday’s football. You want to make more money than a straight bet, but you want to minimize your losses.

The reverse bet allows you to do this. By definition a Reverse is a two-way IF bet following always the IF win, tie, cancel condition.

Sports Betting Strategy

How to win at sports betting online: (Strategy, plan, tactics, method, system, technique.)

The challenge of sports betting is to collect and analyze information and then make a sound judgement on what to bet on, what type of bet to place and how much. To create an opportunity to be a winner, you need to take into account three main factors, analyze them and act on your findings accordingly. These are:

1. The odds offer (Price)
2. The value of the odds (overpriced or underpriced?)
3. The type of bet (single, multiple, combination, etc.)

The odds offer has to be at least 2:1 to make it worthwhile. If necessary, choose a selection with a slightly higher risk to prop up the price.

The value of the odds must be such that the sportsbook's commission is to a minimum, if at all. Some lines get 'steamed' unnecessarily. When this happens, the 'favorite' price lengthens. Take advantage of those situations.

Three type of bets seem to stand out as a sensible combination to use because they are simple, not too difficult to win and have good winning potential: the Straight bet, the Doubles and the Future.

Sports betting is one area where skillful players can win out. But it is important to understand that the skillful players are not "beating the bookies" so much as beating unskillful sports bettors. This becomes most clear when you look at one of the most common ways to win at sportsbetting: bet against popular teams. Bookies aren't sentimental, but people are.

The ideal world for a bookie would be for X number of people betting Y dollars on a team to win, while X number of people bet Y dollars on the opposing team. The bookies then just take 10% of the money that changes hands, with zero risk. Teams like the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Green Bay Packers get a lot of emotional money bet on them by fans. So, games featuring these teams seldom show the "true odds".

Instead bookmakers set the odds so that they can attract enough betting to the anti-popular side to counteract the "fan" money. This means that if the 49ers should be a ten point favorite, they will instead be a fourteen point favorite. Opportunities like this exist nearly every day. There are many other sports betting tactics that can also be effective.
