Betting on Football – Advanced Betting Strategy

Anyone can visit any online betting and place a bet on your favored football team. The vast majority of soccer betting that individual punters shall, however, based on loyalty to a particular team. Thoughts on the analysis and strategy mostly just missing. And this is wrong.

During the season has blind betting on the favorite team no sense at all. It’s the same as if you planted early in the season, when you do not know in what condition the players are, how they help the new signings etc. If you want to make money by betting on football, you should always think about “value” of their bets. Otherwise you will loss.

The value bet is essentially based on an assessment of what are the chances of winning a single team in comparison with a fixed value of the course, which lists the various bookmakers. So if you think that the team has a value, this is due to the fact that the rewards outweigh the risks bet.

Any result that is greater than 1.00 indicates that the team has value and worth considering bet the more above 1.00 will result, it is more advantageous bet

Now let’s look at one more example in which we take to task a Euro 2012 semi-final between Italy and Germany. Bookmakers believed before the match, winning only one. Therefore favored the Germans had courses around 1.5, while the Italians had courses are often higher than 4.00.

Many inexperienced punters looked at the courses and their money immediately flocked to the Germans. A little more advanced individuals, however, saw the abyss that was the favorite for this. I, too, belongs among them. It’s not that I was convinced that the Germans will not win. But I had a clear idea that this match would be rather indecisive, or that the Germans will have a slight advantage. And this fact certainly did not compensate for very weak exchange rate.

Taking the best course that was listed on Italy in the online bookmaker Bwin, ie 4.75 and If you assign this team eg. 22% success rate, we find this bet value: 0.22 x 4.75 = 1

Estimated percentage success then find very easily. For example, imagine that the two teams play against each other 5 times. How many times do you think Italy will win? On one win would definitely could achieve. Some fans, however, were blinded by the fact that Germany was the only team that has won all three matches in the group, in the quarterfinals sent home in Greece and striker Mario Gomez had a perfect form. Now Germany together with Spain was the case with most bookies destined to lift the trophy and destined to win the game.

However, if we look at the problem from the perspective of the Italian fans, we should take into account the point against Spain, their steady improvement during the group phase, the dominant result against England in the quarterfinals and Andrea Pirlo in top form. It is enough arguments for all opponents.

Experienced punters those factors were assessed in exactly this way, and then everyone came to the conclusion that greater value will also see if you bet on Italy. Italy won.
