Mastering the art of beating the bookie

[paddzer]

I have been betting for a long time and I know there are many theories as to how to pick football teams to win money, but call me thick many I just cant get my head around so I have been trying to find a simple formula which all can understand and hopefully beat our mutual friend the bookie. My method has been running now for approx 6 weeks and I have had healthy returns for four of those. ( lost my standard stake for two of those. ) My Principles : I only back Home wins I never back a team if they have lost their last game I never back against a team who won their last game If a team sacks their manager and re-instates a new one I will not back against them. I always try and back in Form against bad form Team news is essential You might say well that really narrows down the search, well take last saturday for example there were no less than 5 teams that fitted that criteria. This is particularly high, personally I am happy if I can find 3. Sats examples were Stirling, Queens Park, Chelsea, M K Dons (4 draws in a row but last 2 they really should have won ) Rochdale I ususally do a few doubles, and maybe a treble generally with one banker in all bets, for example last week Queens Park were in all my lines. This has to be water tight and well thankfully it turned out that way. In order to successfully keep picking winners it is essential to have up-to-date team news, I have found this really beneficial espicially in Scotland which I have my greatest success. I search for the info myself but it would be so much easier if there was a thread within the footie section allocated just for team news with an emphasis on whos important thats out, we all know the premership players so we can work that out for ourselves but 3rd Division scotland I'm lost. If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them , like I said this theory does work but many hands make light work and I believe with the right work this could yield serious dividends. :ok await your comments

Re: Mastering the art of beating the bookie not sure it's on topic for sports banter Paddzer I'll move it to Systems and Strategy. Seems sensible enough though :ok
