Football Bets Guide

 

In the sameway that betting on Corners makes good sense, betting on Cards/Bookings Points can be a reliable money maker ‚Äď because success often relies on the ‚Äėcharacter‚Äô of a team, which often remains constant whether they win or lose.

Aggressive teams pick up lots of Bookings, regardless of form. This gives Booking Points/ Cards bets a degree of ‚Äėshock-proof‚Äô reliability ‚Äď and that should music to every bettor‚Äôs ears.

 

Note: Most bookmakers use the same ‚Äėpoints‚Äô system for Bookings:

• Yellow Card =¬†10 points
• Red Card =¬†25 points
• 2 Yellows resulting in an automatic Red =¬†35 points

Alternatively, Bet365 bet on ‚ÄėCards‚Äô ‚Äď using the following distinction‚Ķ

• Yellow Card = 1 card
• Red Card = 2 cards

 

Total Booking Points

Bet Guide

This is a bet on the total number of Bookings Points accumulated by both teams. The marker will generally vary between 30 and 50. This is a straightforward bet on the total being Under or Over that marker.

Bet Guide

Some bookies prefer to provide three ‚Äėbands‚Äô ‚Äď restricting the options, but offering better odds.

There are five ways that you can win with this middle banding (21-45), if the total value of cards comes to any of the following: 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45.

And there are six card combinations that could produce those five totals…

• 1 Red = 25
• 3 Yellows = 30
• 1 Yellow/Yellow Red = 35
• 1 Red and 1 Yellow ‚Äď 35
• 4 Yellows = 40
• 2 Yellows and 1 Red = 45

Alternatively, some bookmakers will offer markets on Cards…

 

Number of Cards in a Match

Bet Guide

Some bookmakers bet on purely the number of Cards ‚Äď including both Yellow and Red. The marker will usually be set around 3.5 ‚Äď 5.5 Cards and you can bet Under or Over that marker. (Of course, there is no such thing as 0.5 of a card, this simply means all bets have to go Under or Over.

 

First Card

Bet Guide

Like Corners and Goals, you can bet on which team will get the First Card (Yellow or Red).

 

Booking Match Bet ‚Äď who will get the most Cards

Ok so in this football system we are going to lay the draw.

 

The term ‚Äúlay the draw‚ÄĚ is a bet you can only do on certain sites such as Betfair. What this bet actually means is that you are betting for any team to win. So long as the game does not end in a draw then you win!

This lay the draw betting system is easy to understand and anybody can do it even if you know FA about football.

 

Some Statistics on Laying the Draw From Last Season

Ok so lets take last season in the English Premiership for example. Only 20% of all the games played in total ended up in a draw. If you are interested in football betting then this is a very interesting statistic to know.

So if on every single game you placed a lay bet on the draw you would have had an 80% strike rate!

 

I tested this lay the draw system last season. The strike rate in England was 95% and in Holland it was an incredible 100%!!!

That is another thing about this football betting system. It can also be used in conjunction with any European Leagues which creates an almost endless supply off betting opportunities.

This system involves two simple steps.

First you have to find a football match to lay the draw on.

You then use a strategy i developed to pin point the matches where a draw is least likely to happen

Good luck with this and all your betting

If you’re seriously interested in football betting, this is a good article for you to read about finding value in the bets you place. If there is no value in your bets then you will lose in the long run and that is the only thing that matters.

 

It discusses the differences between impulse-buy mug bets, and those which actually provide value in the long run.  Remember, it’s the expected value in your bets that makes you a more profitable punter.  You don’t have to be right 100% of the time, but picking the right betting categories with the right odds will earn more money than most one-off gamblers.

 

 

Finding Value Bets in Football

Ok, so you pretty much should understand what is meant by ‚Äúvalue‚ÄĚ.¬† In any business decision, the rewards should measure up to the risks taken. The bigger the risk, the larger the rewards you‚Äôd expect?¬† This makes sense no?

What this means, is that you when you‚Äôre making bets in football, you need to pick something with the right value and odds ‚Äď not just something you think is bound to happen.¬† For instance, you might swear on your grandmother‚Äôs life that Man Utd will thrash Chelsea 3-1.¬† But with odds of something like 10-1 for a perfect score for instance, this is pretty bad in my opinion.¬† See the next topic why.

 

Correct Score Bets are ‚ÄúMugger‚Äôs Bets‚ÄĚ

You wouldn‚Äôt think it, but the first football betting tip is to learn that correct score bets are for mugs ‚Äď that is they present bad value for what you‚Äôre paying.¬† Imagine the scenario for instance, where you want to bet on a score for two unpredictable teams, let‚Äôs say Bolton vs Fulham.¬† You might think the game will have 3 goals or less, so you bet on 2-1 Bolton (home win), which gives odds of 7-1.¬† This isn‚Äôt too bad you might think.¬† However, if you actually can‚Äôt the number of scenarios the game could end with 3 goals or less there‚Äôs 10!¬† This basically means you‚Äôd mathematically expect odds of 10-1 or greater if you thought the game would have less 3 goals.¬† This is also assuming the game can only have 3 goals or less, which of course isn‚Äôt true!¬† You can see then, that betting on the correct score commonly pay off in the long run.

 

However Correct Scores Aren’t Always Muggers Bets!

This is a little contradictory, but there are in fact qualified and intelligent times to make bet on correct scores when football betting.¬† This is usually when you‚Äôre betting on two teams unlikely to score and both have solid defenses.¬† This would definitely be true of Chelsea in the Avram Grant‚Äôs ‚Äúlet‚Äôs win the Premier League in 1-0‚Äôs‚ÄĚ side.¬† It‚Äôs also quite true of Mourinho‚Äôs Chelsea, and a few bottom Premier League teams off the top of my head.¬† In this instance, betting on a result like 0-0 or 1-0 will payoff, because of the likelihood of the result.¬† On the other hand, betting on a team capable of scoring 4+ goals against opposition is a bad bet unless you‚Äôre receiving 20-1 or better on the correct score odds.¬† Good teams tend to keep clean sheets in their wins also, so remember a 1-0 bet makes far more sense than a 2-1 bet if it‚Äôs against weak opposition.

At the end of the day, one of the best and most secure ways of earning money on Betfair is via Betfair Trading. Along with this, one of the most popular markets to look at when trading is the football markets.

 

There are hundreds of ways you can trade the football on Betfair but, here, we will discuss two of the easiest methods you can do. Yes, the profit in these methods are pretty small but that is why it is a great place for a beginner to start. There are no huge amounts involved and it is fairly simple to trade using these trading methods.

Trading is all about patience, as discussed in a previous article. No one will make money if they rush into trading. However, follow these methods for beginners and you can and SHOULD make money trading on Betfair.

 

Read the Football Betfair Trading Methods below:

There are basically two forms of trading on Betfair or any of the betting exchanges. I will explain in brief what they are below.

 

First Football Betfair Trading Method for Beginners

 

This is the first method. This will initially involve backing so the liability on this bet is what you place on the market. If you bet £10, then your liability will be £10.

1. First of all, just go to the correct score market. This is where you can bet on what the final outcome of the match will be.

2. Now, before the match, back the 0-0 for £10 (or another amount you can afford). The odds will tend to be between 8 and 15. So if this came in, you would win between £80 and £150. But this is not what we want to do.

3. Let‚Äôs say we hit odds in between those two at 11.5 ‚Äď What you now want to do is wait for those odds to drop by half a point (in this example to 11). You can even make this bet at the same time and hope that it happens at some point during the match. When laying at half a point less, I tend to just add 50p to the original bet. This will get you a whopping 50p per match. I know. Not a lot, but it is 50p more than you started with. Imagine 10 games a day over the course of a week, that‚Äôs ¬£35 and you can then increase your bets a little. Keep going and you‚Äôre finally playing with bigger amounts and bigger profits.

Why would they drop by half a point. At the beginning of the match, the score is 0-0. The longer the game remains 0-0 the lower the odds as the chances of it finishing with this score is high. You can trade out on nearly every game, provided that no goals are scored in the first few minutes.

 

Second Football Betfair Trading Method for Beginners

This is the second method. This will initially involve laying so your liability will be the stake amount multiplied your odds minus 1. So if you lay £10 on 10.5 then your liability will be £95. Quite high. That is why the first method is better for the new Betfair trader.

1. As with the previous method, go to the correct score market and this time you are going to lay on either 1-0, 2-0 or 1-1 to either team. But which one? Basically, the one with the lowest odds so that we can reduce your liability. You will be looking for one with odds between 7 and 10.

2. Now this time, you want to wait for the odds to go up. As with the previous method, the odds will increase in this case and the likelihood of it happening reduces slowly.

3. Just follow the same process as the previous method and you will be able to trade out
