Basic Soccer Betting Tips

Betting on soccer is something millions of people take part in across the planet – every single day. There are always soccer matches being played, which means countless opportunities to make predictions and win big! Soccer betting can be a lucrative way to spend your free time, and you can really maximise your winning chances by doing some research before getting started. That’s why we’ve published this Bet.co.za basic soccer betting tips guide.

How do you successfully bet in soccer?

Learn everything there is to know about soccer and soccer betting, read match stats, follow along with the streaks, listen to what the biggest punters are predicting, and make calculated choices without emotion.

Have a budget

Before starting to place your soccer bets, think about how much money you can safely add to your soccer betting bankroll without landing in financial trouble. Having a sports betting budget helps you to remain in control of your bankroll – especially when the stakes are high and you are making decisions on the fly.

Bet responsibly

An overall budget is good to establish when betting on football, but the last thing you want is to blow it all on a ‘Hail Mary’ bet that leads to an instant loss of your entire bankroll. Sports betting experts suggest that, to make your bankroll last and remain responsible when betting on soccer, limit your per-bet stake to 5% of total bankroll.

Bet on what you know

Not all soccer fans are made equally. Some are passionate about their team and their team only, knowing intricate details and streaks of each player. Others take a general approach, getting to know the whole pool of teams, their strengths and their weaknesses. When betting on soccer, bet on the teams and players you know the best, and in the betting markets you fully understand.

What is the best strategy for football betting?

The most profitable football betting strategies are arbitrage betting, matched betting, and value betting.

Stay up to date

Soccer betting is so popular, especially when tournaments are being played, that to keep up with what’s going on requires constantly researching. One player injury can change the course of an entire league season, so having handy soccer news resources close by will help you keep updated. This means you can make the best, most informed soccer betting decisions, instead of having to guess.

Pay attention to stats 

It’s impossible to watch every single football match being played. What is possible, though, is keeping track of each team’s performance and any streaks they may be on. Bet.co.za offers soccer betting fans The Lab – soccer statistics portal that’s free for you to use.
