Trend Betting
Posted on 20. Feb, 2010 by admin in Trend Betting
A lot of new bettors make the mistake of betting on teams experiencing a bad losing streak, hoping that the next match would be a comeback. The idea is indeed sound, but it doesn’t work most of the time. Trends are generally based on human behaviors, and you can use the theory for football betting easily. In this article, we are going to talk about trend betting, a theory used by professionals to increase profitability.
Teams such as Arsenal — with rather rollercoaster-ish performance — can’t be assessed in term of performance trend, but there are a lot of teams that you can analyze using the trend betting theory. If you are betting against a team that has been losing for several matches, you certainly have better chances of winning the bet.
Combined with your own calculation formula, trend betting can actually be a very powerful weapon. It can be used to confirm your calculation or solve a tiebreak. If you are betting a team for the upcoming match against a team with more or less similar handicap, you can simply see the past six matches and decide which team is showing a positive trend.
My personal favorite is to use trend betting to spot reversals. It is actually basic human nature; you can determine if the win is because the team is improving, and chase the team in further matches since there’s a huge chance that the morale of their players are in a good state and are pursuing more wins.
