Total is just a gamble most of the times IMO, unless it's Blackpool home games.Comment -
yeah, im getting down trying to pick totalsComment -
Start looking into unders more. Overs are the most popular and books try their best to sell it.
In general you need to know your matches much better before you bet a total because they are generally coin flips since you can have dozens of chances in a game without any goals.Comment -
Totals in soccer are very difficult to guess, but most games go under it seemsComment -
If you make a big play on an over, hedge with a small play on the draw in case of 0-0 or 1-1Comment -
In the later stages of the leagues we're approaching now there are several things to consider when playing totals:
- Top teams will start to work on their goal balance in the leagues where it can be a deciding factor
- There will be more and more fixed draws when both teams need points desperately, usually these will go under (0-0 or 1-1)
- When both teams have nothing left to play for, expect them to try and entertain the audienceComment -
I rarely touch these... an early red card/dodgy penalty etc can really hurt an unders bet. I prefer the straightforwa 1X2 betting

I'm on the other side as you guys. I prefer to only play overs and look for the value in certain leagues. You can find a lot of good overs that are priced EV or better, which is going away from the chalk and usually against the public.
nyplayer...I was on the Crewe over too, yesterday. It happens, scoreless games just happen soccer. I love how people say "you can't win betting overs" and no one is around when the O2.5 play scores 5 goals.Comment -
it really sometimes sucks.Comment -
Just for the record the (Premier, La liga, Bundesliga, Primera, and Serie A) go over more than under.
