"How to win betting on football."

Read the advice from Betfair forumite's - then do the exact opposite.

A couple of points to add in to the discussion:

1/ Specialisation - I've often found in the past, pick a market and study it to death, stay with it, is the best strategy. Ignore all other markets. Only drawback with this is largely psychological, hard not to get very bored (even when winning!), and be tempted by other markets (especially when it looks like value).

2/ A lot of heavily backed selections in horse racing get beaten - I know because I used to use this market as a guide for other activity. Not sure whether that's changed more recently, but I gave up using heavy gambles as a good measure. Too many stuffed after getting backed off the boards.

An interesting question for you footy analysts:

Which is more crucial in determining results on football markets

a) The average previous results across a large sample of different teams.
b) The averages that relate solely to that team/manager.

A tricky, but crucial, question. I think a lot assume a) but is it true?
