      I look over the stats, trends, recent games, and news/injuries for each game.

            With the major American sports I fade a select few that post on this and similar forums, very successfully. It is a lot more profitable to fade a 45 % bettor than try to hit 55% yourself.

            With soccer I enjoy it though so I spend all week watching preview shows, reading up on team websites and watching injury reports (hitting about 63%).

                I have no idea if my method is successful since I am quite new to handicapping and only began tracking at the end of Feb so sample size is small.

                          Model that does everything for me.

                          4 seasons of backtesting and 3 seasons of actual performance.

                            I bribe players to throw the game then I bet on the opposite team.
