Three Thoughts:
How to Improve Your Football
Picks |
|
 |
What's the best
way to make the beautiful game a little more entertaining and a lot better
looking? Place a few football bets, of course.
When it comes to sports
betting, there aren't many disciplines that can rival the number of options and
actions available in the world of football. Of course, horse racing is right up
there, but if you're looking for week-in-week-out betting action, football is
king.
Given football betting's status in the gambling world, it makes
sense to have a few tips in your back pocket ready for that inevitable weekend
flutter. So, without any further ado, here's a handy overview of the three main
concepts you need to bear in mind when you're doing a spot of Euro 2016,
Premier League or even Championship betting. |

| Form is
Crucial |
| |
 |
| |
All teams,
regardless of whether its Man City or Cambridge United will go through peaks
and troughs. Although class is permanent, form is temporary and that means a
team can be on a high one minute and struggling to find the net the
next.
For example, if you looked at the 2015/2016 Premier League season
on paper you'd have never predicted that Leicester City would be riding high
after the Christmas break thanks to
wins over the likes of Liverpool. While there's no doubt a lot
of unheralded quality in the Leicester side, not least Jamie Vardy, it's also
clear that Leicester have hit a rich vein of form.
As a sports bettor
it's your job to spot things like this and use it to your advantage. Finding
teams on a hot streak before everyone else does will help you pick more
winners. Moreover, if you know that a highly ranked team is currently suffering
bout of bad luck, then you can often bet against them and get better odds than
you might normally. |

Another crucial
skill you need as a football punter is an ability to keep up-to-date with the
latest injuries, transfers and team news across all the major league. Although
you don't have to be omnipotent, you do need to keep your finder on the pulse
of anything that's happening at a football club.
For example, let's say
your focus was the Championship. To accurately make predictions on the top
games throughout the week you'd need to reliable newsfeed for all the latest
action. As you'd expect, there's a ton of fantastic resources out there, but
there a few that are as effective as the source of all the odds.
Online
bookmakers such as bet365 not only supply the odds but they'll give you the
latest betting news. Because they use a team of dedicated experts, you'll
actually find more high quality stories and tip when you use their site.
Therefore, if
you're in the market for Championship betting news, it's a good move to
start your quest with a bookie.
Assuming you can keep on top of the
latest team news, you'll see your predictions become more accurate as the
season develops.. |

The final thing
you need to think about before you bet on a team is the individuals themselves.
When it comes to the crunch, footballers are humans and like all humans they
are affected by swings in emotion. If a club has been a losing streak then it's
likely the team will lack motivation and getting them to play well will be a
struggle.
Conversely, if a team has had a change of circumstances, such
as a new manager, the players might be reinvigorated after a rough patch and
actually play above and beyond expectations. Emotions have a major impact on performance and that's something you need
to pick up on before you place a bet.
Check out a player's social media
accounts, go through their recent stats and see why they've been in the
headlines and build up a psychological profile of them. If they're not in the
right frame of mind to play, then don't bet on them.
If you can take
these tips and build them into your overall strategy you should be able to
achieve a better hit rate with your predictions. |
