Future Bets
What Is a Future Bet?
Future bets are long-term predictions placed on an event that will be resolved in the future: the winner of a league, the top scorer of a tournament, a team’s relegation, etc.
At first glance, they may seem like slow, “patient” bets, or even a form of entertainment. But if analyzed with data and automated properly, they can become high-value opportunities for those truly seeking sustainable profitability.
A future bet is a prediction you make today about the outcome of an event that will be decided in weeks or months. Some common examples:
- Who will win the Champions League?
- Who will be the NBA MVP?
- Which team will be relegated from La Liga?
- Who will lead the Tour de France at the end?
These bets are usually available from the start (or even before) of the competition, and their odds fluctuate over time based on performance, injuries, market movements, etc.
Should You Place Future Bets? Think Like a Professional Instead
Future bets—like betting on the league champion, the top scorer, or the team that will be promoted—often look very appealing. High odds, a sense of “long-term vision,” an epic kind of prediction.
But let’s be clear: for someone who wants to make real money from sports betting, these markets are the opposite of what works.
Too much time. Too much risk. Too much uncertainty.
Why Are Future Bets So Problematic?
❌ You lock up your capital for weeks or even months.
❌ The market adjusts quickly: if you don’t enter at the exact moment, there’s no value.
❌ You depend on countless uncontrollable factors: injuries, suspensions, schedule, transfers…
❌ It’s extremely hard to manage a portfolio of future bets without automation.
❌ Worst of all: meanwhile, you’re missing out on generating profit with immediate strategies.
In short: lots of excitement, very little real profitability.
So Why Do So Many People Use Them?
Because they have a compelling narrative. Because it’s easier to bet that Barça will win the league than to understand how to find a pricing error in today’s match. Because they sound like expert forecasts.
But the reality is different: without professional tools, future bets are a profitability trap. They make you feel like you’re investing… when in fact, you’re just freezing your capital.
What Do Professionals Do Instead of Placing Future Bets?
Professional bettors don’t bet on “what they believe will happen.” They bet where the market is wrong.
And those mistakes don’t wait three months.
👉 They’re in a mispriced pre-match odd.
👉 In a poorly adjusted in-play line.
👉 In a discrepancy between bookmakers.
👉 In a surebet or valuebet that lasts only seconds.
That’s where money is made.
The problem?
Taking advantage of live bookmaker errors manually is almost impossible—odds change every second.

With BetOven, you can:
⚙️ Detect odds errors in real time 🎯 Execute safe or value bets with zero manual input 💰 Constantly rotate your capital to maximize profit 📉 Reduce long-term exposure and dependence on uncontrollable factors
Does This Mean Future Bets Are Useless?
Not exactly. There are moments when a future bet can have real value—especially if there’s a clear odds mistake. But even then, it only makes sense when it’s part of a broader strategy where the rest of your bankroll is actively working through immediate, profitable bets.
In fact, some value bets or automated arbitrages may fall into future markets… but not because you chose them as such, rather because BetOven’s models detected them.
And that changes everything:
You don’t look for futures. You look for value.
And if that value is in a future bet, BetOven will find it. If not, it moves on.
