It can be said that since there were sports there were also sports betting, which could have been in a more formal way or just between friends, family and so on. One of the beauties of the sports is that they are able to attract so many people, who are really able to feel the game and that makes them want to bet even more.

Since the popularization of the media, some sports have become even more popular as they could reach more people, and therefore is not longer surprising to be leaving in a country and following the current sport competitions in many other places. Maybe the clearest example is with football that, without any doubt, is the sport more commonly broadcasted. Maybe that is the reason why football betting is also the most popular sports betting and that is a fact in both high street bookmakers and online betting sites.

At least you are able see the future and predict the match results; there is nothing you can do to ensure that you are placing the right bet. However, following some simple tips can help you to place more accurate bets.

Therefore, before betting online or in your high street bookmaker, don’t forget to take the following rules into consideration:

The first one is checking the home and away records of the teams playing. That can look pointless, but you will be surprised to see how many teams are influenced by that fact and get always good results when they play at home but they are not that successful when they play in a foreign field.

The second thing you should check is how both team have been playing in the last matches, as there may be a possibility that a very good team is having a bad time and vice versa, so that should be taken into account.

The third fact to take on board is to check if the team is affected by some extra factor. Imaging that one of the teams heavily relies on one of its player and this player is injured! Of course that may affect the outcome of the match!

In fourth place, you should also check previous matches’ results which were played by both teams to see if there is any clear tendency, as for instance team A has always win team B.

Lastly is also important to take into consideration how motivated is the team. Obviously both teams want to win always, but sometimes one of them need it so madly, that they are going to put all their effort on it.

So remember to think about that when you are betting next time, and for sure these betting tips will help you to obtain better results.
