The greatest secret of winning your bets is the ability to calculate and know the strength of teams playing and allocate a percentile to the teams.As a trained structural Engineer,I was taught strength of materials in my university days and I try my very best to incorporate those principles in predicting my matches.certainly football is no mathematics but knowing the particular strength of the teams playing gives you an edge.Quite a lot of factors comes into play like logic and psychology to determine the outcome of matches.I do spend like 15 to 20 minutes to even calculate the outcome of just one match sometimes.Due to the heavy bookwork involved I may not bother going deep and that may affect my being able to get the accurate prediction of that match.soccer prediction is no child's play and not for the faint hearted if you want to win consistently.it involves quality time and determination.credit uyimarshal@yahoo.com
