This post might appear long but some issues have to be thrashed out properly about sports betting especially football, due to the poor state of the economy, betting sites and shops are being patronized more than they used to,my major problem is people being scammed online with huge sums of money looking for fixed matches,then u wonder, cant these people forecast on their own? to cut it short, here are some basic guidelines when picking matches for betting.
N.B There is nothing like a sure outcome of what u pick on a betting slip, no matter how safe u think u play,surprises do come some times that is why u will neva see a odd of 1.00 which means the event is certainty to happen.
Reccommended sites....soccervista.com,forebet.com,predictz.com,but pls ignore their correct scores ,just follow their analyses.
--for high stakers, especially for odds between 5-10 odds, dont pick more than 4 or max.5 games,playing 12 games to yield 10 odds is suicide,for every game u add,u are decreasing your chances of winning.

------ for high stakers, avoid the temptation of picking games from lower divisions because of high rate of match fixing due to lesser scrutiny and relatively poor wages

----- for general stakers, when you are playing 1 * 2 , pls always choose a team that is in form to win, reputation does not win games most times, it might b a great mistake to bet against a team on a good run of form.

----for general stakers, know the strength of the team you are betting on e.g some teams are only good at home but hardly get results away and vice versa, soccervista.com can help u knw both home and away form of all teams and their latest results

----- since staking is like investing, there is no harm in doing some little research b4 staking, like knowing the likely squad a team is likely to feature in an upcoming match, observe the morale level of the team, this is very important, earlier this season lazio lost 3-0 to leverkuesen in d champions league play offs, the players were so devastated that they lost their next serie a match to a small club with huge margin.

....Lastly i have problem with people dat play only english leagues, the english league is so competitive that u can be guaranteed at least an upset every week, from league 2 to premiership its all the same. u can always check other leagues out and pick d front runners there,its safer like dat, greece-olympiacos, serbia-czvezda,montenegro-mladost podgorica,hungary-ferencvaros,norway. rosenborg e.t.cM

thank u op, l learned something new today frm ya post.

this is for you...
