How Did We Choose Our Predictions
The fundamentals of pre-match and live betting are the same, but there are also some notable differences to consider. Effectively, you want to prep your livescore predictions in the same manner as you would do with any other bet – the difference comes in the execution of your wager. Here’s how to choose your predictions.
Research
The cornerstone of all football bets, and any other sport for that matter, is research. This involves looking at the recent form of the teams/players you are thinking about betting on. You can compare the quality of opposition, venue, and many other factors as part of your research. The end goal is to develop predictions as to how the match could unfold.
Betting Markets
Good knowledge of the various betting markets for the sport you are interested in is essential. Of course, the most popular market is the match result, and this is where you’ll find most livescore predictions, but there are many other options that may be more suitable to your style of betting and your bankroll.
Odds
Every bettor wants value, so you must pay close attention to the odds. If betting in-play, the margins can be much higher than what you see on pre-match markets. While it’s simple enough to calculate implied probabilities and the vig (bookmaker’s margin), there simply isn’t time during the match as the odds are continually changing. Still, you want to get familiar with odds and the risk-reward ratio of the bets.
Picking High-Probability Live Bets
First and foremost, there are no guarantees when betting on sports. Favourites can have an off-day while the underdogs can play above expectations. However, in most instances, sports events go to form.
Therefore, one strategy is to back favourites that go behind early. For example, let’s say Manchester City are playing at home against Watford. City are huge favourites for the game, but they go behind in the 10th minute.
The bookmaker instantly recalculates its football livescores odds. Suddenly, there’s a lot more value on Man City to win. Admittedly, they have to come from behind, yet time is still on its side to achieve this.
