Mr. Soccer predictor – how to become like him

This article will try to explain some key skills you need to aqcuire in order to become such a soccer betting expert. We will try to keep it very short and sweet. We will only focus on six key skills in list-form. We suggest you browse our articles for deeper insight on special subjects. We have plenty awaiting you.

1. You can't allow any betting bias to sneak into your mind if you want to become a successful soccer predictor.  You got to stay sharp, and you got to see through any smokescreen or bullshit. You got to let your analytical left brain self be in charge. A betting bias is one of many separate biases that basically are short-cuts our minds allow us to take in order to reach a betting conclusion that requires a lot more analysis.  One example on such a bias is narrow framing. This bias is based on the fact that when dealing with a problem we often see things how they appear, rather than how they are. We lose out on the full picture and favor the detail that upsets us, thrills and so on and so forth. Read our pyschology articles on the subject. We think you will enjoy them. Hopefully you will also be able to use them to your advantage. If you want to dig deeper into this subject you can study cognitive psychology.
2. You got to have a fair understanding of statistics and probability. By learning this you can break down soccer betting in many different ways and analyze all aspects of it. A soccer game is in many ways is a stand alone event, but by mastering statistics and probability you at the very least can identify meaningful amounts of similar looking situations and attach a probability to those. Trust us, if you do this well enough it is enough to make money on betting still. Be sure to read our articles on these subjects. Some of them might be a little heavy at first, but don't give up, go for it. Your bankroll will be happy.
3. A true soccer predictor follows soccer day in and night out. It is indeed a tough and lonely life being a top notch soccer predictor. After many years in the industry we can testify that there is no way around it. You got to watch the games in the leagues you follow. You must read about the matches pre-start and post-game. Over time you will add more and more depth to your football understanding. You will also be better able to see how certain teams fare against classes of opposition and how different coaching styles work against other styles. Furhermore you will be able to look into small details like; what teams let the grass on the pitch grow before the league number one comes visiting, and do they benefit from it? If you add this layer of football understanding on top of statistics and probability understanding you will be better able to see when the match up you are currently analyzing is deviating from the average odds that the statistics analysis is giving you. If you do this well, simply put; you make more money as you tweak the odds even more in your favor.
4. If you want to be a soccer predictor you need to realize you can't do all the leagues. Our suggestion; focus on those you really enjoy watching. If you are a little bit more money focused; focus on the second highest division level or lower in countries where you can still get a decent sized bet on with most bookmakers. Most online sports books do not have much turnover on these events and invest less money in making sure their odds are spot on for these markets.
5. Go together with other people that are as dedicated as you are. Share some leagues between yourself and eat each others fruit. This way you can cover a lot more leagues. Being a soccer predictor is a lonely job so we suggest you look into this. It makes things so much easier. There is nothing like sharing a big win together. However, be aware that if you bet together the online bookmakers might deem you a betting syndicate and lower your bet limits. You have to go about discreetly and cleverly.
6. Learn from us and other people who have gotten dirt under their nails already. We at howtobet.net have gone through all the phases from novices to betting expert level.
