How Our Experts Make Tips

To arrive at the best tips for a team/ game, football experts analyze teams’ holistically; starting from the team’s current form, tournament history, head-to-head history against the opposing team, presence/ absence of important squad members, et cetera. However, with there being various betting categories, the criteria for arriving at the final choice may vary slightly as well. With ‘three-way’ bets, one unique factor usually considered is the rest period between games for both teams, as the better-rested teams tend to have the fitness advantage.

Also, bookies check for subtle issues that may affect a team’s in-match performance; such as player/ manager conflict and lack of squad depth in case of injuries. As for ‘score-no score’ bets, analysts lookout for offence data and compare them to the opponents’ defence statistics. For instance, a team that has scored three or more goals in at least four of their last five matches is likely to find the net against a team that has conceded in at least four of their last five fixtures.

Experts Tips Statistics

Some sites do not use expert analysts to arrive at their predictions and tips, as they use computational algorithms that gather statistical data and come up with a probability in terms of percentage. Other sites do not do the analysis for the player but provide user-friendly interfaces that allow gamblers to easily go through all the latest statistics prior to making up their minds. For ‘live betting’ aficionados, these sites also trace live statistics of matches as they happen. A prime example of this is oddspedia.com
