if you wanna succesfully make money in the long term select a few leagues and follow them regularly. Watch games, get to know players and learn how each team plays. With time you will get an understanding of teams and how they play against different oppositions.

If your not interested in getting that into it just bet home dogs not to lose. Teams play better at home and they are always more motivated at home not to lose. Also German,Dutch 1st&2nd division as well as English league are great for betting overs if you enjoy betting totals. French and Italian league is great for unders and betting draws with high rewards. I even started betting French 2nd division last year and its very profitable. Even though I watch very little French League soccer stats don't lie. Study previous games of teams. As far as Sides Scandinavian leagues especially the Finnish league is very consistent and their is very little surprises. Stay away from the German and Italian league in terms of side betting as they are very inconsistent.
