Im Lost

[robstars7]

Iv been betting more strategically on football for around a year now. After several deposits and not much return im feeling lost. Iv tried many different systems and different markets, using money management (usually 2-3% of my bank) but I dont seem to be getting anywhere. Im mainly betting on the o2.5 markets and home team win markets now.

I used soccerstats mainly as the site i study things from and iv got systems for both these markets. 

I feel like im kidding myself lately and I need some advice on what I could do differently to get better results.

I bet mostly in doubles and never go above trebles. 

I will only bet on things usually 2.0 or higher. sometimes I go a bit lower.

Had anyone been in this spot and come through it?! thanks.

Feel your pain! I've spent the last few years examining stats and potential systems to get that 'edge'. I found I was getting bogged down in the stats. Personally I was more successful going off my own knowledge of the game and keeping the stats fairly simple. I also like the horses but I have less knowledge in this area than football so I did some research on decent paid and non paying tipsters ( the free ones in here are generally good ) and used them. I also realised that even though I had a good football knowledge other people have better in lots of other areas. Again the football tipster here is good and the insight in some of the forums is very good. I particularly like the non league and lower scottish league guys. 

The other thing I've found for me is that my bank management and staking system is probably more important than my particular bets! Personally I don't mind slightly increasing stakes ( up to a point! ) but I imagine most other people on here would say that's a big no no. Some people can find that ' edge ', I couldn't so I've gone back to a much simpler betting style which suits me but I understand it wouldn't suit others. 

I've waffled on here, but what I'm trying to say is we've all probably been where you are. Don't give up ( but also don't lose money you don't have in the meantime!).
