Football – or soccer as our US friends call it – is one of the most popular sports for betting. Betfair opens up a huge range offootball betting systems with the many markets available. As well as the obvious match winner we can bet on everything from the number of corners in a match to who will score the first goal.

Football betting systems can be hugely complex taking account of recent form, average goals scored and conceded each match and league position. The rewards of these systems can pay off and I have seen superb results and profits. There are also some very simple but equally effective football betting systems available and which are ideal for beginners or those with little time to spare.

Betfair also offers us the opportunity to trade on football matches. One of the best strategies is to lay the draw before the match and trade out when one side scores. At this point the odds swing and you can lock in a profit whatever the outcome of the match. To make consistent football trading profits this way you need to select the right matches and to understand how odds shift during a game.

I personally use a number of football betting systems which have delivered me profits over the years but I am constantly testing and reviewing new ideas, systems and strategies. If you have any you would like me to test please contact me.
