Three popular strategies of bets on football (soccer)

Football (soccer) is the most popular kind of sport, so sportsbooks offer a huge variety in lines. There are hundreds of options how you can make a bet on a football (soccer) match while significant matches have even more options. Let's take a look at several strategies used by betters to gain a profit.

Betting on outsiders

Newbies usually bet on meetings as they think that the strongest team will win. The odds for such matches are low — this is how sportsbooks companies try to reduce their payments to the betters. The victory of the strongest team at such cases is really frequent, but it doesn't happen all the time.

A flaw of the bet on the favorite of the match is that you need to take a risk with big sums to earn good money. If you use the strategy of betting on the favorite all the time, you will not avoid losses. If you put big sums at stake, losses will be considerable for your budget.

When the number of bets on winners decline, quotations on outsiders automatically grow up. If you bet little money on a weak team that is going to lose according to the experts, you can increase the bet in 5-7 times. Leaders lose even if it happens not so often.

You can also make a bet on double outcome choosing a win for the outsider and a draw. Betting on an outsider, you may use the chase strategy. It involves doubling of the bet after each loss.

Arbitrage betting on football (soccer)

During the match, quotations and conditions of the bet may change. The task of the better is to make several bets in a way that no matter what result there is, the match will bring you some profit. You can choose a win of any team, handicap, total and other options for bets. You may make a bet in prematch, analysing all the possible outcomes  calmly and then to secure your choice live.

For example, before the naty, total over 2,5 has odds 2,2. The sportsbook expected that the match would have many goals. The player chose this outcome and made a bet of 100 dollars. But during the match, the teams showed a very listless performance almost without attacks. So, total under 2,5 also got 2,2. The better make a bet of 100 dollars on the opposite outcome. With any score, their income will account for 20 dollars.

The classical option of arbitrage betting which implies almost no risk for the better is a search of two opposite outcomes with the odds more than 2 in different sportsbook companies.

Middles

Middles may be caught in live if the players are good at football (soccer) and knows how to risk. If there is a combination of luck, both bets may win. An example of a middle: in total bets, you need to bet at first on under 2,5 goals at the match with the odds over 2. During the match if there are no goals and attacks in the game, you need to wait till the situation when the odds on total over 1,5 will be more than 2. Then you make the same bet on this outcome.

Any score will make you a loser. But if the meeting ends up with two goals, two bets will win.
