Maximizing Profits from Your Football Bets


Many beginner football bettors make the mistake of thinking that basic football knowledge is enough to take them far. Well, it’s not. While basic knowledge of football might help you make profit on a couple of low-yield bets, it’s not a sustainable long-term betting strategy. You see, there’s a reason why bookmakers make an upwards of £300 million in profits from the bets placed on football (just in the UK alone). The odds they set are based on a complex combination of big data analytics and comprehensive statistical analysis, and in order to beat the odds, you have to be smart with your betting strategies. 

Over the course of this blog post, we’ll take a look at some rules and strategies that can help you maximize your football betting profits.

Use your Head, and Not Your Heart, While Making Bets

Everyone loves to bet on the underdog, and the odds you get can be really tempting as well. However, an “anything can happen in football” mentality isn’t a good one when you’re actually gunning to make profitable bets. While Sheffield Wednesday upsets Manchester City makes for a good headline, football matches are ultimately decided by players, class and form.
Some bettors refrain from betting on the club they support: We say you should! While it’s difficult to bet against the club you love, as long as you place smart bets, you’re best placed to make a winning bet. After all, you know more about the club you support than any other team.

Introduce Specialization to Your Betting

It’s really difficult to make profits betting on the top European leagues. With the wide media coverage they get and so much information available, odds are rarely set incorrectly which makes it difficult for bettors to gain an edge.
Trying different, more obscure leagues can be a good strategy for making profitable bets. If you support a side that plays in the lower leagues, and odds are available for them, there’s a great chance that you know more about them than the bookmaker who’s set the odds.

Devise an Effective Money Management Strategy

Football’s unpredictability is what makes it the Beautiful Game. It goes without saying that upsets and surprises are pretty common in football. For instance, who would have expected that a young Ajax team would knock out European giants Real Madrid and Juventus in the Champion’s League this season?
Always make sure that you place your bets in a responsible and disciplined manner. Understanding that you may not get your money back is a big principle of sports betting. We’d recommend that you have an effective money management strategy in place for your betting bank.

Manchester City or Liverpool: Who’ll win the Premier League?

Over the years, we have seen some amazing finishes to Premier League seasons. Who remembers the 2009/2010 season, when Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea edged Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side by a single point? And who  doesn’t  remember Sergio Aguero’s last-gasp goal against QPR that secured Manchester City’s first title in 44 years?  However, before the current season began, it had been a few years since we had witnessed a truly close title race. Manchester City ran away with the title last season, and so did Chelsea in the season before that. However, this season has been a different story. The title race we’ve witnessed in the 2018/19 season has truly been one for the ages, with both Manchester City and Liverpool being relentless for the entirety of the campaign. There are only 2 games left to go with just a point separating Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’s sides. Will Manchester City manage to retain their crown or will Liverpool finally end their 29-yea...
