Betting Secrets: The Best Football Betting Strategy & Much More Revealed

Image
How it Works So, on to how this football betting system functions in practice. There are many ways to go about this, but I’ll cover two of the most popular here. As I mentioned earlier, this works best if you can find bets that have a high value that you can capitalise on. Taking the above game as an example, let’s say you lay the draw on the exchange at odds of 4.5. If, as fully expected, West Ham take the lead in the first half, then you can simply cash out for a profit. Another option is to hedge your bet by backing the draw. After the first goal for the favourites goes in, the odds at bookies for the draw will rise. Backing these new odds with an amount that will cover your liability will result in a guaranteed profit. For example, if we place the £10 lay bet at odds of 4.00, then are able to back the draw in-play after a goal at odds of 6.00 with a £6.5 stake, we would be able to guarantee profit of £3 in the event of a draw and £3.5 if either team wins. While the profit will

Sportsnet.ca PSG reaches League Cup final after win away to Rennes Paris Saint-Germain remains on course for a fifth straight League Cup title after winning 3-2 away to Rennes on Tuesday, in a hectic semifinal where three decisions went to the Video Assistant referee and Neymar riled his opponents. PSG took its tally to 13 goals in three matches at Rennes this season — the others were in the French League and in the French Cup — but failed to properly protect its 3-0 advantage after forward Kylian Mbappe was sent off in the 63rd minute. Both sides had a goal ruled out after VAR referral, while Mbappe was sent off when the VAR showed him blatantly raking his studs on forward Ismaila Sarr’s lower leg, ripping his sock around the heel. PSG seemed in complete control approaching the hour mark, after goals from right back Thomas Meunier, centre back Marquinhos and midfielder Giovani Lo Celso. Striker Diafra Sakho pulled a goal back in the 85th with a diving hea

Latest News RSS feed Western Sydney Wanderers 0 Melbourne Victory 3: Barbarouses extends purple patch Kosta Barbarouses completed a brace in stunning fashion as Melbourne Victory cruised to a 3-0 A-League victory at Western Sydney Wanderers. The New Zealand forward has now scored four in his past three Victory matches to move on to seven from 13 this season. Victory, who edge back into third above rivals Melbourne City on goal difference, were happy to let their hosts hog possession for spells until springing forward on a clinical 36th-minute break, with Barbarouses surging in from the right and dispatching a crisp finish. Leroy George made it four assists in his past two outings by leading the Wanderers defence a merry dance and teeing up Besart Berisha in the 68th minute. Western Sydney lie sixth after a first defeat in five and Barbarouses capped their misery by rifling into the top corner from 25 yards in stoppage time. Kosta Barbarouses... WOW! What a hit.

Latest News RSS feed Mkhitaryan key to United-Sanchez deal, claims Raiola Manchester United will not sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal unless Henrikh Mkhitaryan agrees to move the other way, according to the Armenian's agent Mino Raiola. United emerged as frontrunners for Sanchez's signature last weekend with rivals Manchester City reportedly pulling out due to concerns over the finances of a move for the Chile international, whose contract at Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the season. The Red Devils are said to be willing to include Mkhitaryan – who has started just one Premier League match in the past two months and was left out of the squad for Monday's 3-0 victory over Stoke City – as part of a prospective switch. It is claimed Arsenal are requesting £35million for Sanchez, and Raiola says his client will play a pivotal role in the outcome of their negotiations with United.

Sportsnet.ca Arsenal, Chelsea in sterile stalemate in League Cup semis LONDON — Cramped into Stamford Bridge media tribune was an unfamiliar occupant leaping to his feet, bellowing disapproval and kicking seats in frustration. It’s not surprising Arsene Wenger was so exacerbated. After all, he was managing Arsenal in a League Cup semifinal. Wenger was forced a dozen rows back from the Arsenal bench at Chelsea on Wednesday while serving the second game of a three-match touchline ban for misconduct toward a referee. Wenger was more animated at times than his team on the pitch as the fatigue of strain of playing five games in around two weeks caught up on both teams as they laboured to a 0-0 draw in the first leg. The London rivals only met a week ago, although that draw was a 2-2 Premier League thriller. And they will face off again in two weeks to complete the League Cup semifinal at the Emirates Stadium when Wenger is due to be back in the dugout. Whi
