t's important to have a range of betting sites to get the best odds.

The main thing is patience. Bookies are brilliant, and only 1% of their odds are ever generous, so you have to have discipline to wait for a good bet.

You need an appreciation of odds. Can you look at something and this has a 65% chance of happening and bookies are wrong to say it has a 70% chance of happening? Or does that seem like an impossibility, how could anyone be that precise about odds? Because bookies and gamblers are that precise and they make money off the people who are not.

You probably need to study, unless you have very niche markets. Make a spreadsheet. How often did the top 4 teams win against the bottom half of the table. How did the percentages change for home and away matches. Do that analysis for every year for the last 10 years. Now you have a rough idea of what the odds should be.

The other thing is knowing how teams play. Some teams get a lead and just try to defend, other teams continue to attack (think Rennes last night against Betis). Some teams play direct others pass. If one teams is a passing team and the other sits deep, then the defenders will make lots of passes. If the other team presses, then the defenders won't make as many passes. You can bet on the number of passes a player makes.

where’s the best place for sports betting with crypto?

Don't bother, sounds ridiculously easy in theory and placing bets is a cinch, however winning more bets than not is a lot harder than you think. Factor in the juice/vig and it's extremely difficult to beat the books in the long run.
