My Soccer Betting Tactics: Is There Anything Else I'm Missing?

[shanz]

I believe when it comes to betting on soccer, numerous strategies can be employed. Each bettor typically develops a unique approach that best suits his style. A successful strategy lies in personalizing a general method that fits your preferences and your risk tolerance. While many soccer betting tactics exist, some are more effective than others. But I will share with you some of the most popular strategies I'm personally using (based on my logic).

Let's start with the over 1.5 Goals. It's an approach based on the high-scoring nature of soccer matches. This strategy is simple: most soccer games statistically feature at least two goals. Common score lines such as 1-1, 1-2, or 2-1 support this vision. Look!!! it's not a general rule, but while some matches may end with a single goal or no goals at all, those with more than two goals are more frequent. Therefore, placing small bets on over 1.5 Goals can lead to a return (even if it's a small one). Well, I believe it's a good responsible play technique, especially for beginners or experts looking for entertainment more than profit

Effective money management is crucial. A flat bet of 2% of your bankroll is recommended, though you can adjust this based on your risk tolerance. For conservative bettors like me, 1% might be safer, while those with a higher risk appetite can go up to 5%. You know, it's up to each player!

Also, choosing the right league is important. Focus on leagues with high average goals per game, such as the PL and La Liga, where over 50% of the matches have at least 2.5 goals. For example, Real Madrid and Manchester City's matches usually have plenty of goals.

Another point is to maximize your winnings: bet on games featuring offensive teams, either against each other or against defensive teams. Avoid games with two defensive teams, as they are less likely to score many goals. Your chances of losing your bet are higher in that case, BUT exceptions happen!

Once you have your list of games, don't rush to place your bets and wait for the game to start. Odds often increase slightly just after kickoff, so placing your bet a few minutes into the game can be beneficial. And don't forget to watch the whole game. Why? Well, watching the games live is crucial for success in live betting. Apps and smartphone notifications are not enough; you need to follow the action in real time. For me, the real pleasure is when you watch games and you encourage your favorite teams. That rush of adrenaline and excitement is what makes me enjoy playing. It's not 100% about the money, it's a means of entertainment

My personal success rate in soccer betting is not good and not bad as well. My results vary when I don't do enough research, don't use stats properly (I'm not a pro ) or simply when my luck doesn't smile on me. But, I have some friends, experienced bettors, who achieve consistent results. Well, maybe they have a secret strategy (as you play a lot, your strategy becomes more and more effective)

Do you think there is anything else I should do to improve my soccer betting tactics?

[Oshosondy]

About placing the bet when the match is about to start, I also like it. You can know the players that the manager wants to use during the match. This will help you determine to go further to place the bet or not. Sometimes I also wait like 5 to 10 minutes after the match has started which increases the odd if no club has scored.

I think your soccer betting tactics are already quite solid! Consistency comes with time, experience, and constant learning. You're on the right track with your strategies and approach.

For me, the key to success is finding a method that aligns with my personal style and risk tolerance. Personally, I lean towards the conservative side too, betting around 1-2%, as it allows for a more sustainable betting experience over time.

Have you tried exploring other bet types, such as Asian handicaps or both teams to score (BTTS)? These could add some variety to your strategy.

So you are saying that your results are average, but you are confident enough to post forum threads about soccer betting tips, tricks and strategies? You know the saying "the proof is in the pudding", right?
Why not first implement your so called "strategy" and then post the results here, in order to prove that this "strategy" actually works.
I don't believe that I will achieve great results by betting "over 1.5 goals" on several matches on La Liga or Premier League.
By the way, La Liga and the Premier League aren't currently active, the old season is over and the new season hasn't started yet.
Any ideas about where to place bets right now?

Of course, you need to look at the statistics of the results of this strategy topic starter. The strategy of betting "total over 1.5" itself seems quite interesting to me. The problem may be that when some strategy becomes popular, it often stops bringing profit. You can come up with many explanations for this. Perhaps the bookmaker begins to adjust its work schemes in such a way as to eliminate this peculiar vulnerability, which allows many players to earn. Still, we should not forget that in classic betting we play against the bookmaker, and he is not interested in his loss.

I quite agree. When a particular market is continuously used, it becomes difficult to get good results from it and this option of 1.5 the op mentioned seemsike an easy enough one but it funny that some teams that are known for goal scoring will not even produce one.
 I usually go for crazy options that have not been thought of and I remember when one betting platform (Bet9ja) introduced the option of goalkeeper saves and I tried it along with number of corners in a game and those options served me well till that strategy went burst and it stopped bringing in the profits.

I think that the most important point you're missing is the fact that in sports betting, like in any other bets, chance is key, so you can rely on your tactics/strategy to a limited extent, and mostly for fun, but never as a way to earn "consistent gains".

Chances are that your friends are only telling you the bright side of their betting story, or perhaps they were lucky thanks to an uncharacteristically long streak of good luck. We all want to believe that there is a way to make sure money with sports bettings, but even the experts aren't rich thanks to their knowledge, and even if they were we can't aspire to know as much as them.

So bet for fun and not for profit.

[_act_]

I think your soccer betting tactics are already quite solid! Consistency comes with time, experience, and constant learning. You're on the right track with your strategies and approach.

But it should not be confused with consistent winning and profit. No one can have consistent profit while gambling.

The strategy of betting "total over 1.5" itself seems quite interesting to me. The problem may be that when some strategy becomes popular, it often stops bringing profit.

Sometimes I just prefer to go for over 2.5 odd. It has far higher odd than over 1.5 but the chance for a match to end with 3 goes in total is lower than having 2 goals in total. But I prefer to bet less frequently and go for over 2.5.

[swogerino]

I use to copy bets where I play and I love this period from August to May where the major leagues play.I tend to copy multi parlay tickets of 25 games as that is the maximum allowed there and most persons placing such bets do so with the over goals bet you mention.It is a good strategy to hit a big multi if you can find 25 games with a low odd for over 1.5 goals.This though I have seen being extended in many other sports like tennis,basketball and baseball to name a few.Most of the times if you play tickets with 3-4 games this over 1.5 goals they do come true as a winner but the final odd is pretty low for me and that is why I do 25 games tickets as I want to win big if I happen to win.

[un_rank]

And don't forget to watch the whole game. Why? Well, watching the games live is crucial for success in live betting. Apps and smartphone notifications are not enough; you need to follow the action in real time...

This is not possible when you are betting on multiple games which you have to do to make over1.5 odds profitable. You can only properly follow one match at a time and rely on goal rush action to get details of the other matches. This also does not matter much if you are placing the bet just a few minutes after kickoff, the action within that period will not affect the decision to make the bet.

Watching my favorite team for the adrenaline is something I will do with or without having any bets on the match.

This is wrong.

When the teams are known as offensive teams and tend to score many goals, they might score many goals, but the odds will be lower because we all know they're capable to have plenty of goals.

Avoiding two defensive teams is a wrong advice too, the odds will be higher since we all know they unlikely to have plenty of goals.

Once you have your list of games, don't rush to place your bets and wait for the game to start. Odds often increase slightly just after kickoff, so placing your bet a few minutes into the game can be beneficial.

Although this is true, remember sometimes they can make a score less than 10 minutes which could affect your bet decision.

I always tell people that, football is one of the easiest games for me to predict and win. Just as you've said OP, over 1.5 goals is one of the easiest way to get your winnings, but the unfortunate thing is that, it does go with much odds, most gamblers gamble to make money and not really for the fun of it, so they most times play down on some of these appreciable options, because it doesn't really give them the kind of high odds they are looking for.  But here is the trick for me, I can easily permutate like five games of over 1.5 goals that will come out 2 odds, with just that 2 odds, i will use a good amount to stake, which will give me a double of my stake and few added bonus.

I don't particularly select all my games only from European leagues, I follow up the statistics from Brazilian leagues, Africa leagues etc, before I do my selection, and it really works out perfect for me.

Though 1.5 goals games may be easy to predict but the problem is that it always has odd issue, which you may accumulate upto 5 to 6 Games and yet you wount be able to get up to 3.50 or 4odd and yet the chances of wining is  still unpredictable due to the nature of gambling. Though most people wins, but the return is usually Small due to low odd but it can be lucrative when you predict with huge fund. Aside all I have explained I think this strategy gives more accuracy than other prediction.

Where do we find a list of offensive teams? I wanna check them out because this is actually a good tip for me. It wouldn't come out if someone hadn't exploited these demographics. I wanna see how true this is.

I also wait for the game to start and most of the time I bet while the game is already in the 2nd half which we already have seen their score. And most probably the losing team will lose. This is often what happens but the odds are pretty low though.

[Frankolala]

Nice soccer betting strategy OP. It is good one should be able to come up with his own tactics. I accept placing bets when the match is about to start or have started that will is an advantage to the gambler because odds changes time to time.

The problem with some gamblers is that they don't like betting on 1.5 odds as they are looking for odds that will make them win good profit but if any gambler is not greedy and appreciate little profits, betting on 1.5 odds are the best. One thing that makes me enjoy gambling is when I am watching the match because that is where the thrill is.

I like to also place my bets right before the match start especially if I believe that they have the best shot at winning the match. I think there is a benefit to it because I get to be able to get the better odds before the match starts. When I am in doubt about the teams winning ability, I hesitate to place my bet. We all know how lines move and that is usually my concern. So if a know team with more experienced players are playing a lesser team who just beat a bigger team in their last match, I think about odds, the line moving and then hold back until some minutes after the match has started to get some feeling about the direction of the game and sse if the odds change. And if I am satisfied, I will then go ahead to place my bet.

One oversight I have realised most punters have is acknowledging that football isn't some equation which will give you a defined result after calculations ..which is far from it!!! If betting was this easy with some research and you find the winning team, then everyone would have been winning   which is why the same research is what makes the bookies the money

The best approach is watching more of these games and knowing the league, once you understand the teams game play and team morale then you get to have the confidence to pick your teams and get some winners too... otherwise I don't think strategy is the problem...the problem is wanting to make accumulators that give us insane returns which is selfish of us if you think about it...2 -5 teams should be the best combination imo

[bering]

Your strategies looks safe indeed bets on 1.5 goals for the particular matches which have favourite teams such as Manchester City or Real Madrid because i am sure these teams will always be playing offensive especially against weak teams so your winning chances is quite high for this strategies but do not forget about the odds because bets on 1.5 goals for the favourite teams most likely will have low odds and i have seen plenty that 1.5 goals has odds 1.1xx or sometimes below to that odds so i am not sure the odds will be equal to the risk

And i have seen you avoiding to bets on the matches between defensive teams vs defensive teams because over 1.5 goals is quite risky to used for those matches but i think rather than avoiding these kind of matches you might to try bets other options such as under 3.5 goals or probably under 2.5 goals and these method is very usefull for me several times

All you do aren't bad, because they were your own personal strategy which you adopt in playing soccer games, and since the focus on this discussion is all about football soccer, we can also see of of the common betting strategies in sport bets as part of what we may have in consideration, as long as they were able to fixed in with our demand for betting, sport betting is one of the most lucrative games we can choose to play as being dynamic by nature and we can use different playing strategies on them base on how we want.

... Avoid games with two defensive teams, as they are less likely to score many goals. Your chances of losing your bet are higher in that case, BUT exceptions happen!

You can simply make a bet on "under x goals" on those games. I wouldn't say that the chances of losing are lower or higher than making a bet on "over x goals". We had many games where the majority of people thought there would be a lot of goals, but that didn't happen... and many times the opposite thing happened, we didn't expect a lot of goals (defensive teams, injured players, bad weather, etc) but exactly that happened and both teams scored a few.

Do you think there is anything else I should do to improve my soccer betting tactics?

As you wrote "My results vary when I don't do enough research", when we rush with choosing the games we plan to bet on the chances for us to make a wrong pick are higher. We need to spend some time searching for the right games, and the time spent on that is not wasted. But sometimes it's easier to say than to do it, at least in my case. But I am sure that people who decide to improve their winning rate will think about spending more time searching for the right games and deeper researching of those games before final selection.
