for success cycles. Soccer teams often go through long cycles
of winning and losing, so if you concentrate on those teams
that are experiencing a winning cycle (meaning those that
have won 80% or more of their last six games) and bet on
them whenever they play a team experiencing a losing cycle
(meaning those that have lost 80% of more of their last
six games) you are likely to do much better than you would
by relying purely on chance.
Use
a reliable prediction formula. In 1993, author and betting
systems expert Ian Bruce invented a mathematical formula
which predicts the most probable score of any given soccer
match.
Here
is a simplified version of that formula: For the home team,
divide the number of goals scored by the home team at home
by the number of games played at home (e.g. 30/15 = 2).
The result of this calculation (2) is the number of goals
the home team are most likely to score in their next match.
For the away team, divide the number of goals scored by
the away team whilst playing away by the number of games
played away (e.g. 15/15 = 1). The result of this calculation
(1) is the number of goals the away team are most likely
to score in their next match. In this example, the most
probable score for the upcoming match is 2-1 to the home
team.
