Bet On What You Know

It is hard enough working out who will win a football match without complicating things still further by betting on an event when you know nothing about the teams or the league. Don't be tempted to place large amounts of money on an obscure match in the Mexican or Peruvian League just because you read one article on it.

If you consider the people involved (Ie. the players, the referees, the managers) that means more than 30 variables (with substitutes). That doesn't even include variables like the state of the pitch, international call-ups, long-term injuries, financial implications, transfers, legal and disciplinary procedures etc..

Exotic games seem exciting - until the bet loses. And when you find out (after the match) that a star forward was rested or great goal-keeper was out injured then you'll feel stupid. The bookies knew - that's why they set that tempting price.

Beside this, there are plenty of fancy bets available. First scorer, team to kick off, first yellow card, first red card, time of first goal and etc.

All these bets are solely based on luck! Please don't let you luck to judge your bets, unless you are a damn lucky person.

Know your game!

I make 80% of my money on the English Premier League and Italian Serie A because I get to see extended coverage of EVERY game. And my most profitable team is Liverpool, because as a fan I follow every move very closely.

Most of the time, I bet on Asian Handicap, under/over 2.5 goals and out right only. I  do the analysis, trace the records and more by myself.
