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

Latest News RSS feed City aren't in division five! – Wenger calls for 'perspective' after final defeat Arsene Wenger has called on critics to show "a bit of perspective" in the wake of Arsenal's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final. The Gunners produced a meek display at Wembley last Sunday as goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva secured a first trophy in English football for Pep Guardiola. Wenger's side have come in for some stinging criticism for the performance, with former Manchester United captain Gary Neville and Arsenal great Ian Wright among those to blast the effort of the players. But the Arsenal manager believes the match was close and insists it should not be considered shameful to lose to a team with a 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League. "I felt it was a very tight game until the 2-0," he told a news conference on Wednesday. "When you look at the end, Man City had three sh

Sportsnet.ca Girona beats Leganes, continues to impress in Liga debut GIRONA, Spain — Girona continued to impress in its debut season in Spain’s first division by beating Leganes 3-0 for a fourth consecutive home win on Friday. Christian Stuani and Cristian "Portu" Portugues added to their team-leading goal tallies with strikes to decide the result before halftime. Stuani converted a penalty in the 23rd minute after Martin Mantovani used his hand to divert a cross destined for the Girona striker. Portu doubled the hosts’ advantage in the 36th after he led a solo counterattack and blasted the ball over goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar from a tight angle. Juan Ramirez claimed the last with a header at the end. Girona rose into eighth place, just two points from sixth place and the last of two Europa League spots. The goal was Stuani’s 13th, good for fourth in the league after Lionel Messi (20), Luis Suarez (16) and Celta Vigo’s Iago Aspas (15).

The Portugal star struggled badly for form in domestic competition in the first half of the season, scoring just four goals in 15 LaLiga appearances.

Ronaldo has also remained consistent in Europe, netting nine goals in Madrid's six group games this term, and Cavani does not think he will struggle to make his mark when his PSG side visit the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. 3 - Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player to score a perfect hat-trick in La Liga this season (right foot, left foot and head).

Sportsnet.ca Whitecaps sign right back Jake Nerwinski to extension VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed right back Jake Nerwinski to a contract extension through 2019, with options for 2020 and 2021. The 23-year-old from Lawrenceville, N.J., started 19 regular-season games for the Whitecaps in his rookie season. His five assists fell just one shy from matching Young-Pyo Lee’s club single-season record for a fullback and was second among rookies and third among all defenders. "Jake has worked extremely hard, done a lot of the little things right, has shown a willingness to commit to our club, and has earned this new contract," Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson said in a statement Friday. "Jake is a pleasure to work with day in, day out, and will only continue to push himself to get better." Nerwinski won the Whitecaps’ Most Promising Player Award in 2017. "This means a lot," Nerwinski said in a release. "This c

Latest News RSS feed Melbourne Victory 1 Brisbane Roar 2: Maccarone magic boosts finals hopes Massimo Maccarone scored a goal and provided an assist as Brisbane Roar boosted their A-League finals hopes with a 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park. Veteran striker Maccarone drilled home a fine seventh-minute finish and set up Brett Holman before the half-hour mark, putting last week's penalty miss in the 2-1 loss to Melbourne City behind him and lifting the Roar up to sixth. Brisbane took the lead when Leigh Broxham could only clear Fahid Ben Khalfallah's cross as far as Maccarone, who brought the ball down on his chest and picked out the bottom-right corner of Lawrence Thomas' goal. The 38-year-old turned provider in the 28th minute, holding the ball up on the break before offloading for the overlapping Holman to cut onto his left foot and double the visitors' advantage. Jamie Young produced a fine save to keep out Leroy George ahead of half-time but the

Latest News RSS feed A-League Review: Maccarone penalty miss lets victorious Melbourne City off the hook Melbourne City remain within touching distance of second-placed Newcastle Jets in the A-League thanks to a 2-1 win at Brisbane Roar, who rued Massimo Maccarone's late penalty failure. In a thoroughly entertaining encounter, Maccarone opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a bullet header which gave Dean Bouzanis no chance in the City goal. Brisbane were not ahead for long, however, as Marcin Budzinksi levelled five minutes later with a neat finish after latching onto a perfectly weighted throughball from Daniel Arzani. The visitors then spurned two excellent chances to move ahead, teenager Arzani firing just wide and seeing a header cleared off the line by Maccarone. City's persistence eventually paid off just after the hour, as Stefan Mauk headed home Budzinski's brilliant cross from close range. The hosts should have rescued a point 11 minutes from time w
