I play a round of mean soccer with my MALE soccer friends every Wednesday night. I am the only rose among the thorns. During every game, I just forget that they are guys. I only focus on the eleven player versus eleven player game.

You may be curious as to what position this rose covers. As I am extremely nibbler, agile and have excellent reflexes, I ‘man’ the goalposts. Yes, I’m the goalie.

Of course, the goalkeeper job can be the most difficult job on the soccer field because the actions can be very fast.

The goalkeeper needs to have the ability to be very focused at any time, even if he doesn’t have much to do in the last 89 minutes.

Now why do these thorns trust their goalie Rosie… simply because I made a bad goalie? My defenders have absolute confidence in this “last woman standing.”

The great Brian Clough once said that a good goalie could be worth 15 points a season. It’s been 360 minutes without conceding a goal and I’m proud of this humble record.

I realized that playing a soccer game and placing a soccer bet have many similarities. There are ups and downs and sometimes there are changes in the game or the bet.

However, I found that in live soccer betting, most of the “hits” in the game can be figured out.

The odds provided by the bookmakers are a reflection of the performance of the teams on the field from the point of view of the bookmakers. So when we follow the bookies reading of the game as reflected in the odds, we can’t be far off.

This makes live football betting quite literally a gold mine IF we can possess the ability to “figure out the odds” and place our winning bets. With so many live bets on offer on every match day, there are plenty of profitable actions to take.

(Live betting is also popularly known as in-play, in-race, in-play, and ball-in-the-race betting.)

I was looking for a live soccer betting book that can teach me the techniques to decode the odds, which is the integral part of profitable live betting. I found what I was looking for in this 108 page live football betting system and let me show you what I found.

1) Match-fixing at this end of the football season

The football season in Europe has come to an end. Games have been played and games have been won and lost.

It is at this point in the season that rumors of match fixing will rear their ugly head.

How could we ignore gossip when completely unexpected results happen… especially when this is the turning point of the season when teams fight for coveted places to play in European competition, or to avoid relegation?

Of course, in soccer, like in any sport, there are always strange results. A single error in judgment by a referee or linesman can make the difference between winning and losing.

For normal betting, unless the bettor has access to the match-fixing syndicate, it can be difficult for him to ‘sniff out’ suspicious matches. He has to watch out for any abnormal changes in odds or too-good-to-be-true prices. The onus is on himself to be vigilant before placing his bets.

For live betting, as the odds are adjusted according to the match movement, if a union has fixed a game, say the home team loses the match, their poor play would have been reflected in the odds movements. So you can say that this is an advantage live betting has over normal betting, as long as you can figure out the odds.

2) The main thing that this system has taught me

This book opened my eyes to look at the odds from a different angle: the angle that the strike brought. I didn’t know that the secret is hidden in the probabilities. Once you find out, you will realize how easy it is to make money with live football betting.

I love the chapter on “Timing Of The Bets”. The author has meticulously explained the rationale for determining the best “profitable” times to place bets. The screenshots made it very easy to understand.

3) The number 1 tip I’ve learned

For me, the number 1 tip that I have learned is the discipline to follow the criteria of each of the 10 strategies.

I realized that the criteria form the basis of the strategy and by strictly following them, I will not be tempted to deviate due to any emotion.

I will only place my bets when the selection meets the criteria 100%. This discipline makes me place each bet with the utmost confidence.

4) Tip number 2 I’ve learned

I realized that a good betting system must be complemented by a sensible knowledge of money management.

This book has detailed coverage of money management rules, especially betting plan and stop win/stop loss limit.

I once followed a system that recommended doubling the next bet amount to cover the last loss. In one weekend, I lost 90% of my bank.

So knowing how to manage my gambling money is tip number 2.

5) Why is this system the complete system?

I love to describe things in terms of hardware and software.

In this system book, the 10 strategies are the hardware. But for the system to move towards the profitable mode, it is necessary to install efficient software to ensure constant profits.

In this book, the author took pains to expose the virtues of maintaining a winning mentality and dealing with the emotions of fear and greed, the worst enemies of every bettor.

The chapter on fear and greed is very valuable as the author painted some gambling scenarios to illustrate the point that the distinction between successful and unsuccessful gamblers is how they handle these two emotions.

6) What strategy should each bettor know

Out of the 10 strategies, I believe that all live bettors should be well versed in “stop loss strategy” to limit any financial damage when necessary.

A lot can happen in 90 minutes on the soccer field. I find it very comforting to know that there is a “Plan B” strategy when the original strategy is not working. This is my favorite strategy because I love back doors.

7) How does this system benefit you?

With the 10 strategies, you’ll know exactly what to do when betting opportunities present themselves.

You will not be carried away by emotion, nor will you rely on luck, or “estimates” to place your bets.

The odds, which are a reflection of the performance of the two teams on the field, will tell you what to do.

8) Can you really make $1200 in 3 hours?

Yes, you definitely can. There are so many live games on offer on every match day. With all 10 strategies, you can easily make regular profits.

Of course, your winning figure will depend on the amount of your bet. Always bet within your comfort zone.

9) What if you don’t have live football betting experience?

Do not freight. The system can be used even by an absolute beginner. Each strategy is clearly described. There are snapshots that explain each step of the strategy. So there’s no guesswork. Each step is backed by the movement of probabilities.

Conclusion

This system is not based on injuries, previous match previews, weather conditions, etc. It does not require hours of analysis on all match days.

You only need to acquire the necessary knowledge to read the movements of the quotas.

Having the ability to “figure out the odds” takes the excitement out of the live betting equation. You bet based on what happens on the field, not on whether Team A is your beloved team or Team X is your most hated club. This is the beauty of making money from live football betting.
