Soccer Bettors: How did you do this year?

barcelonafc · 05-22-11, 02:06 PM

getting harder and harder mate, better sticking to stuff like basketball in my opinion, too many late goals and good sides under performing.

made a season loss on soccer but am up a few thousand on the nba.

doublej95 · 05-22-11, 03:05 PM

MLS still left to bet on.

EaglesPhan36 · 05-22-11, 03:12 PM

The big Euro leagues are done, but there is still plenty of soccer to wager on during the summer.

MLS
Russia
Argentina
Brazil
Norway

Plenty if you do your homework and love betting the sport.

Please don't forgt that the Copa America is comming also soon

alon7777777 · 05-22-11, 03:20 PM

hard to consistently make money on football got to wait for good spots but need patience for that i have more success on NBA or even Hockey

Jackson Hole · 05-22-11, 03:50 PM

lots more soccer, copa, gold cup, plenty of opportunities.

north american soccer league has great betting opportunities

flyingillini · 05-22-11, 06:24 PM

Tons of Soccer still left.

ChuckyTheGoat · 05-22-11, 06:34 PM

Honestly, very good season for me in EPL.

But, yes, Soccer = year-round. Long seasons. Euro mostly runs fall/spring. USA and others primarily a summer season.

danller · 05-22-11, 07:13 PM

soccer = all year long

jjgold · 05-22-11, 07:20 PM

unreal

Soccer never sleeps

minet123 · 05-22-11, 07:25 PM

If you figure in moving to this 4th world rat hole,plus the cost of BetFair commissions and the myriad of toothless hookers.....

wait till i get back and put Bobby in charge of the operation in North Philly than I will get it all back

If you're a descent football capper you should never be down money at the end of the season. Even if you have a horrendous run somewhere in the middle of the season, there's about a billion different games/situations you can grind yourself back from.

You still need inside info to be rich, but still you shouldn't be in the negative.

Jimmy0607 · 05-22-11, 11:05 PM

Up but not by much

RichardGeorge · 05-22-11, 11:14 PM

Downnnn

But should go up now that MLS is in full swing, along with alot of the South American leagues....

Sawyer · 05-22-11, 11:22 PM

Season is not over, it's just started!

These leagues (Scandinavian and South America leagues) are much better then Major Leagues. Hard to find value in Major Leagues..but these leagues are very soft.

Pawan · 05-22-11, 11:28 PM

Season right now is like see saw!!! you win you lose.... but very less predict..

tankman777 · 05-23-11, 01:50 AM

barely broke even

, ALL the big teams fukked up a lot this year, man utd drew a lot away, chelsea lost a good few, arsenal lost a few, man city lost a few.

in italy inter and ac lost a few.

other leagues the same.

hardest season for capping by far. wat about arsenal 4 up against newcastle. or newcastle up 3 yeasterday?

if you were up then i think you are a really good capper.

barcelonafc · 05-23-11, 01:59 AM

in my opinion the mls is a the fukkin worst league to bet on the planet.

the quality is getting better but its just like the aussie leage = id rather watch paint dry.

the german 2nd and 3rd league are the best for me, loads of goals scored.

Wade Dwayne · 05-23-11, 02:03 AM

Up a little bit. Probably take a months break now.

hitthew8room · 05-23-11, 02:14 AM

lost so much doody

ryanspeer2001 · 05-23-11, 02:18 AM

If you want to make money just bet the under in every MLS philly union game. Have been perfect or draw through the first 10 games.

Betting big favorites is NOT the way to make money in soccer.

Been a good season for me personally, made some decent coin. But it's not over yet, Scandinavian leagues just started.

barcelonafc · 05-23-11, 03:52 AM

betting big favs IS the way to make money.

worked for me for the last 10 years as ive been in profit every year except this year.

not just favs fukked up, there was some really bad results this season.

jjgold · 05-23-11, 05:31 AM

Soccer probably has most betting opportunities compared to any sport year around although so many lines its mind boggling
I think it is like anything else you must zero in on one or two leagues only to have a chance to win or have some system

I agree with Sanka, no Value in big teams and parleys is just pure luck, live betting for me works best

Agreed betting favourites in football is the wrong way to go, for the value you get, they will let you down in the long run.

rfr3sh · 05-23-11, 05:53 AM

Lol guy bets huge favs and wonders why it didn't work obviously the fav doesn't win everytime

Not necessary if you're willing to do the research, there are plenty of opportunities in lots of different leagues. Zeroing in on a few leagues only denies you those opportunites.

Obviously if you know a league well you have an advantage, but you have to realise the books and linesmakers know that league just as well. Biggest risk there is that you start to rely on your knowledge too much without doing the propper research.

Daveyboy · 05-23-11, 08:06 AM

Up, up, up from the Premier League this season

Rarely touched foreign leagues or Champions League (was definitely down in Champions League and Europa League). Of all the sites I used for tips, PremiershipTips.com was far and above the most consistent and profitable.... behind this forum of course

Thanks for a great season guys, see you again in August for some more money making

RubberKettle · 05-23-11, 08:07 AM

Up overall mainly from EPL, but down in almost every other league over the course of this season.

There is soccer in the summer too. Scandinavian leagues, Russian League, MLS and UEFA qualifiers amongst many others.

jjgold · 05-23-11, 12:22 PM

Paver but it is not top level soccer

Any sport that is top lvel you have a better shot at and more predictable
