    New to sport betting, where to start ?

    Hey guys,
    a mate of mine and me decided to start with sportbetting, the problem so far is, that it seems really hard to get profitable and that we dont really know where to start. We already started to create a database for soccer ( thats the sport we want to start with) tho we dont really know what our next step shoud be. How do we get started to create a profitable model, what shoud be our first step ? Is there maybe someone interested in giving us some tips how to get on the right track.

    Chears.

    Here is a link to a sticky at the top of the board. I was just asking the same question a couple weeks ago. I plan on using the fantastic information provided in this thread to start the process.

    Best of luck ... to both of us!!

    When I first started betting I used to only bet soccer as well and eventually branched out to other sports over the years. Even though I followed a variety of sports I felt that soccer was the one i knew the best. With all this in mind I suggest betting small because it is inevitable that you will start with losing money.
