So, you want to try your hand at football betting? Well, you have come to the right place for the greatest tips on winning in football betting. Here are a few things you need to do:
Betting history
First ask yourself these questions:
- How did you bet last season?
- Was Real Madrid your choice for the Champions League win?
- Did you bet on Arsenal taking the FA Cup at the beginning of the season?
- And was Man City your Premiership wager?
Maybe you did pick some of those but despite being a great predictor I can bet you still lost some money throughout the season.
But how did that happen? My guess is you took bets without fully understanding the situation or what you are placing your bet on. When it comes to the crunch, you somehow end up losing money. Your betting history will let you see where the loopholes are and work on them
Know Football
This is quite obvious. You can’t bet on a game when you are clueless about the basics. You have to know your game inside and out. What this means is that you have to know all there is and this you do by digging through the information sources at your disposal. When you are armed with information you can make wiser decisions. Check the internet for histories of teams and their players, any trade-offs, injuries, rankings etc.
Statistics
If there is one golden rule you need to know in football betting, it’s that the best bets are not as a result of hopes or hunches. The best bets are made from a clear understanding of the teams and the players. This means you check the websites for statistics.
There are plenty of sites that give statistical information on football teams. These sites will analyse games, look at the previous form, fitness of players, and the set-up of teams. The sites will also give you regular content that merges all the aforementioned information and explain to you how to win football. This way, you will get the best possible information there is, which will help you to create a personalized strategy that will work for you.
Go Deeper
It has become an open secret that the recent success stories in some of the teams are attributed to their taking a statistical approach to the matches. Footballers are human, hence, you can track each and every move they make on the pitch and there are sites where you can get information on the best defenders, goalies, etc. You can use the statistical data you find for example, the major league teams which concede or score the highest number of goals prior to or after half time. Based on the statistics, you can place your bet either on the half-time score, or the final result.
There is a lot of statistical information to take in so it is advisable to get acquainted with it early enough. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you are unsure about anything. You can do so by using Google or from that friend who seems to know all things football
The bookmaker
The bookmaker or bookie is the company that is tasked with placing the odds that you will wager on. Just as important as the game’s statistics, is the best bookies available. You need to choose your bookie very wisely.
- A good bookie can be found online by checking their reviews.
- Check the statistics on the bookmaker to get an understanding of their business.
- You also want to make sure that your bookmaker has an online presence that will enable you to place bets on your mobile device. You do not want to find yourself in a position where you cannot follow the progress of your wager unless you are in a bookie’s physical shop.
Cashing out
Another thing you need to find out is whether the bookmaker allows you to cash out your earnings within a short time period. Again you do not want to wait for eons to cash out. Make sure there are several cash out options. In addition, check whether there are offers that your bookmaker gives such as Free bets. Utilize this as often as you can to lower your risks and increase your chances of making profits on the games you bet on.
So there you have it, the simplified guide that will ensure that you achieve winnings every time you bet on football.
