I had about $500,000,000 recently and was always trying to make more money but with travelling the money was coming in as fast as i was spending it and it was affecting my training so i decided to try my luck at the bookie. I used a formula to work out what the best safest bets where to increase my money.

There were different factors that I researched before I ever placed any bets, the first one was where the two teams where in the league table. This shows how the teams have performed over the season giving you stats on, Games Played, Wins, Draws, Losses, Points, Goals for, goals against and Goal Difference. These are all important to look at to see how prolific teams are. The best site i used for this was the BBC site where you just search on google the league that the team you want top researches league table and BBC. You should encounter a page like this:

This site is the best as it shows the form for the last ten games each team has played, this is the second factor. Form is a big factor as the more wins a team has the better atmosphere they have and they play better based off this. If you hover over each rectangle it shows the score they won, drew or loss and whether it was at home or away. That is another big thing, some teams may have an amazing home record but a bad away record so you should look at this also and see how many games they have won at home and how many away. Also if the team you want to bet on are away always check the other teams home record.
Another factor which only applies to the end of certain leagues are whether the teams are fighting for promotion or relegation as some teams will try harder at these times and want to win more.

Other things to think are that you never trust a multiplier in the bookie as even though one multiplier is x1.53 and the other is x2.4 the one with the lower multiplier will not always win, this can be shown when Celtic beat Bracelet, FC Porto beat Bayern and Burnley beat Manchester City.

Another few things that i follow is never bet money if you aren't willing to lose it and never risk too much money if the muliplier is not worth it as if you do lose it will be worse than winning.

Using this tactic I turned 500 million to 2 Billion within three bets and have given tips to friends with seven out of nine winning.

My Bets:
You have won the bet on the FRA.Lens v Monaco game! You bet $500,000,000 on Monaco and won $875,000,000! Your check will be held in the bank for up to 24 hours.

You have won the bet on the ENG Forest v Watford game! You bet $500,000,000 on Watford and won $1,100,000,000! Your check will be held in the bank for up to 24 hours.

You have won the bet on the Argentina - Argentinos Jrs v River Plate game! You bet $502,500,000 on River Plate and won $1,005,000,000! Your check will be held in the bank for up to 24 hours.

Nice post, looks like you've got most of the important stuff in there!

I'd add that it's helpful to check if either team are missing important players through injury, suspension etc. For example, I'd never bet on PSG without Zlatan playing, since he is such an important player for them, and I'm definitely not risking my money on Bayern this evening with so many players missing.
Derbies can also throw in some weird results, so if you're planning on betting on these, it can help to take into account the head-to-head record between the two clubs. For example, Newcastle have lost the last 5 to Sunderland, despite coming higher in the league in the last 2 seasons, and being higher in the league currently too (though possibly not for long considering their form....).

Anyway, hope this helps someone!

Hi, newbie player here, Not trying to discredit you or anything, but why is your networth -100m? what happened? Is that because of this? or you're just doing something old players do? :D

If you check his stats and take a look at his activity you'll see he practically stopped playing a year and a half ago, and his networth went down to 0 by that time. In fact he mentions it a bit further up.

My NW has nothing to do with this post i quit the game a while back. I was up 10b on betting football, i wasted it all on RR lost it all in 5 goes.

Also if you could kindly not necro an outdated guide, that'd be great.

Find a site which shows public percentages and use to your advantage. 

 

If a spread holds at initial offering even when 70%+ bets are for one side, there's something up. 

 

This isn't guaranteed and I don't like sports betting as a chore, but I've made good IRL $$ tracking this information and keeping my betting units consistent.
