3 Helpful Pointers to Win More of Your Football Bets

From now till the end of the year, there will be more than enough football games for fans to enjoy.

From Champions League, Europa League games, international friendlies and cup games, it’s a hectic schedule up ahead.

But it’s also one of the best times to make money from your love for the beautiful game. Because there will be a lot of games, it’s the perfect time to make some extra cash by making correct predictions in select football betting markets.

Football betting can be many things, including an extra source of income – or it could burn a hole in your pocket. To ensure that it’s more of the former than the latter to you, it goes way beyond your knowledge about the teams you want to add to your bet slip or accumulator.

So what helpful pointers are there to help you win more of your bets?

1. Forget the odds, if you’re sure

It’s fundamental to ensuring that you don’t miss out on taking advantage of the opportunities. Here’s the deal: The odds assigned to a game can be so large that it may make you doubt whether or not to select the game or event in question.

But one way to scale this hurdle is to be certain of your predictions. If the odds for a certain team to win is high, the doubts may set in. And this may lead to you making another move which may make you lose your money.  The rule is simple: if you’re sure about the risk, forget the odds and put your money where your mouth is.

2. Don’t play with what you can’t afford to lose

This is another basic rule for betting!

If you’re serious about making some extra cash from your betting business, it is important that you set aside a certain part of your money to invest it in. Apart from avoiding unbearable losses, it helps you to take risks or make picks without restraints.

There’ll be a huge difference between a bettor who uses his salary for the month to play a game and a bettor who takes out x% of his/her salary to place bets. Both will definitely think about their capital differently, something which will influence their bets in different ways than meets the eye.

3. Don’t depend too heavily on prediction sites

Making football predictions will be extremely difficult without prediction websites. Good luck trying to find the statistics of the last 10 games in the Venezuelan league without a prediction site!

Prediction sites are here to stay. Apart from livescore apps and websites, they influence our betting patterns immensely.

But…you should not overly depend on them, especially their predictions. Learn how to make sense of the numbers they’re showing you and make your own deductions.

At the end of the day, whether you’re right or wrong, you will know it was all you, not some computational analysis someone somewhere made.
