Rules to stay disciplined at Soccer Betting
It is not easy to win money systematically from betting. Less than 5% of gamblers are successful at it. The number one pitfall for most punters is lack of discipline. The following rules will make your betting more profitable and help turn you into a consistent winner.
1. Choose a staking plan. Set aside a sum of money to use for your wagering, and nothing else. This should be an sum you can afford to lose. You ought risk between 1% and 5% of your bankroll on each bet, with most bets being in the 1-2% range. Poor money management can bankrupt even the most talented sports bettors.
2. Keep detailed records of all your bets. All pro gamblers do this. By recording every single one of your bets, you can identify patterns. Isolate types of bets, leagues or teams you consistently win or lose money on. You are able to then refine your strategies and become more successful. Record keeping as well keeps you disciplined and discourages you from placing frivolous "fun" bets, which unavoidably lose.
3. Never force a bet. Only bet when you have an edge over the bookmaker. Always be patient, even if that means letting several days go by without betting. Would you rather win a wager on an obscure South American league match or lose one on the Champions League final?
4. Avoid multiples and accumulators (parlays). It's fun to string five or six bets together in a combo for a juicy payout. But you will never become a successful punter betting that way. Follow singles for the big majority of your bets. As you become more comfortable, there are some occasions where it makes sense to combine 2 bets in a double, but that's the exception, not the rule.
5. Narrow in two or three leagues only. You can not be an expert in every league even if you had all the time in the world. It just isn't humanly possible. So stick with what you know, and learn that league inside out. Money is money, it doesn't matter whether you win it betting on Greek football or the Scottish 3rd division.
6. Study betting odds movements. Keep an eye on the betting market and look for big shifts in odds on a particular football match. Try and determine out why the betting odds might have changed. Is a key player injured? Is it a big-name team that's popular with punters? If you can't explain why the odds moved, you may be better off skipping a particular match.
7. Do not get emotionally involved. If you have a favourite team, don't blindly back them every weekend because you hope they will win. Use your knowledge of a particular team to your advantage and know when to bet against them.
8. Do not second guess yourself. Trust your own skills and instincts when analysing a game. Whenever you list and rank all the reasons for betting on a certain match, the first one that comes to mind is generally the most important. Do not be scared to pull the trigger on a bet if a secondary factor alters, like a slight turn in the weather or a peripheral player getting injured.
If you follow these rules tight, you are on your way to becoming a serious and successful soccer punter. Stay disciplined, don't stray from the rules and you'll find that soccer betting is more fun when you win money from it!

Transfer of the Bulgarians in the German giants were said in the spring when Berbatov was considered to be safe leaving in the summer transfer window.

Successful Soccer Betting Strategies
Bet on a team not to lose.
A good type of wager is where your team does not even have to win for you to make profit. It's called Double Chance, because you back two results: a win and a draw. If you can identify a situation where one team is remote to lose, this kind of bet could be attractive to you. But keep in mind the odds will be lower than merely backing a team to win.
There are a several situations where this could be a of value bet, but one of the basic is when one team is playing for a draw. Try and precise a game where one team's aim is just not to lose. A club employing such a negative strategy will very seldom win. Even whenever they bring home the bacon in drawing the match, your Double Chance bet against them is a winner.
Another time this bet comes is handy is when a team is missing their key striker who scores most of their goals. Some clubs rely on a single player up front, and when he's injured they become useless at scoring goals. Quite frequently the betting odds will not adjust far adequate to reflect this. So you are able to bet against those teams and be somewhat confident the best they can do is draw.
There are other types of bets which are equivalent to Double Chance. The half ball Asian Handicap (+0.5 or +1/2) lets you combine a win bet and a draw. Similarly, laying a team to lose on a betting exchange like Betfair has the same effect.
Back teams that know how to score goals.
If you are gambling hard-earned cash on a bet, at the least back a team you can count on to score. Try and avoid encounters between mediocre teams who sit in the middle of the league table. Frequently these matches are most unpredictable: a home win, away win and draw are all possible results.
An alternative is to look for powerful, high scoring teams that have no trouble finding the back of the net. These are often the elite clubs of a league: Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Barcelona etc. But this is what most amateur punters do, so the bookies will almost always offer poor odds on the best teams.
A better strategy is to bet against extremely weak teams. Every conference has one or two hopeless sides who lose every weekend. These bottom-dwellers are occasionally given too much credit by the bookmakers. Look for a situation where a decent or even below average club is playing at home against a awfully bad away team (one of those clubs that's 0-1-9 on the road for example). The bookie will often set the odds on the home side slightly below even money, say at 1.75 when it should really be much lower, like 1.50. Similarly the Asian Handicap will be -3/4 ball when it should be at least -1. If you can identify the whipping boys of a league, this is precisely the sort of situation where it is profitable to bet against them.
Believe it or not, luck can play a role in that type of strategy. Talented teams make their own luck and find a way to win (how many times have we seen Juventus or Chelsea sneak a 90th minute goal and win 1-0?). On the flip side, weak teams are often unfortunate and the bounces just seem to go against them.
Look for strange home and away form
Playing on home turf is a big advantage in most football leagues. Support from the thousands of screaming fans gives a boost to the home club and restrains the visitors. Teams perceptibly struggle in away games, and even top clubs can not copy their home form. Naturally, the bookies know this as well as anyone, which is why the odds are shorter on a team playing in their own stadium.
But there are exceptions to the rule, and these can be very profitable if you find them.
Some teams will not fit the pattern and will in reality play better away from home.
Here are a few examples from the 2005/2006 season in England, Italy and Spain:
Wigan home: 7 wins, 3 draws, 9 losses
Wigan away: 8 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses
Treviso home: 1 win, 4 draws, 13 losses
Treviso away: 1 win, 8 draws, 10 losses
Deportivo home: 6 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses
Deportivo away: 9 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses
As you can see, Wigan, Deportivo and Treviso all had better records on the road. There are different explanations for this. Occasionally a team feels too much pressure from its home fans. Other teams acquire different playing styles and tactics in away games, which are often more successful than their game strategy at home.
But how does this affect your betting? Even though we have spotted this strange pattern, the bookmakers will go forward to make their odds accepting these teams have a bigger home advantage than they actually do. That creates value betting opportunities, because the odds on Wigan, Deportivo and Treviso will be bigger than they should be in away games. Likewise, it's worth betting against these teams when they play at home, for the bookies are factoring in home advantage where there's none.
Bet on the draw
Many punters have a hard time predicting draws, so it's not surprising the draw isn't the most popular type of bet out there. It's much more fun settling for a win anyway. So why bet on a stalemate? Because it pays well! Draws should not be the commonest outcome you pick, but there are times when it makes sense to back them. Try and find a match where both teams will have a bad time breaking each other down. One way of doing this is seeking matches between an in-form mid-table side playing at home against a top-table away side. E.g., match-ups from the 2005-2006 season that fit this profile might be Bolton vs. Liverpool, Lazio vs. Juventus, or Villarreal vs. Real Madrid. The visiting team has the quality to escape the game without losing, but they as well have trouble scoring against an in-form home side. Both teams in that situation are happy to settle for a draw, and that's rather frequently the result. Another fast and easy way to identify potential draws is to study the Asian Handicap odds. Look for games where the handicap is set to (0) or level ball. This means both teams are relatively equally matched and the bookies don't want to offer a head start to either team. Games like this tend to draw more frequently than you might believe.
A good type of wager is where your team does not even have to win for you to make profit. It's called Double Chance, because you back two results: a win and a draw. If you can identify a situation where one team is remote to lose, this kind of bet could be attractive to you. But keep in mind the odds will be lower than merely backing a team to win.

Try and find a match where both teams will have a bad time breaking each other down. One way of doing this is seeking matches between an in-form mid-table side playing at home against a top-table away side. E.g., match-ups from the 2005-2006 season that fit this profile might be Bolton vs. Liverpool, Lazio vs. Juventus, or Villarreal vs. Real Madrid. The visiting team has the quality to escape the game without losing, but they as well have trouble scoring against an in-form home side. Both teams in that situation are happy to settle for a draw, and that's rather frequently the result. Another fast and easy way to identify potential draws is to study the Asian Handicap odds. Look for games where the handicap is set to (0) or level ball. This means both teams are relatively equally matched and the bookies don't want to offer a head start to either team. Games like this tend to draw more frequently than you might believe.

Soccer picks for 4.11.2010, Thursday
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR MY SOCCER BETTING PICKS THAT I PUBLISH ALMOST EVERY DAY!
In soccer betting also apply the basic rules of gambling: do not bet more than you can afford to lose and do not perceive them as a way of making money, despite several successful years in football bets publish every day. It is important to know that should be on all of my featured soccer games, and if late and is still possible to bet live. Coefficients for the soccer picks are taken from the Bulgarian bookmaker "Eurofootball" and are among the lowest which means that if you bet in popular internet bookies the profit from my free soccer betting picks profit would be 20-30% higher.
If people that can not follow betting scheme 10-20-40-80 etc. may do so in the sequence 1-2-4-8, etc. or example, 5-10-20-40, etc. Profits will be lower, but still it is better to earn less than nothing.
Doubling the stakes is the surest way to not only return your money back, but to win. Of particular importance, however, are some details in the statistics that will afford not to publish because they are my know-how.

Cassano offered to reduce his salary by half
Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano suggested his salary be halved as a gesture of apology to the club, Italian media reported.
According to "La Stampa" 28-year-old wants to make up the team of President Ricardo Garonne, after the latter asked Contracts of Cassano to be terminated because of conflict between the two.
Cassano did not attend the gathering of the club, with the excuse that his wife Caroline is pregnant and wants to spend as much time with her.
But he is willing to suffer a serious reduction in salary, to show that he wants to stay at Sampdoria.
"I would like to stay here forever. I like the president. Now he apologized," said Cassano, quoted by "La Stampa".
