You can earn betting profits with little effort on your part by following my Scottish Soccer Betting Advice.

Despite the commonly held belief that betting is only for mugs, bookmakers themselves know that certain individuals can and do make long term profits from their betting.

My aim is to help you become one of those individuals.

Someone who expects to win over the long term not through luck but through following carefully selected betting investment advice.

There are probably many reasons why your betting hasn’t turned a profit so far. Off the common betting maladies you can take your pick from: laziness in researching your selections, a lack of selectivity, erratic staking, never keeping accurate records of your bets and therefore never learning from your mistakes. Add to this list, the greed that ensures that you always add in an extra selection to your doubles, trebles and fourfolds. Perhaps you are too easily swayed in your opinions by the press or by the confident pronouncements of the local betting shop blow-hard. No wonder then that you inevitably see your best laid plans discarded as soon as you are faced with a bank of flashing terminals and booming plasmas in your local bookies.

So what sets my approach apart?

Apart from avoiding the catalogue of schoolboy errors listed above, I understand the nature of the endeavour I am involved in.

Betting is many things, but primarily it is a numbers game that can be reduced to a decision that weighs up risk, probability and potential reward. The phrase ‘playing the percentages’ is a popular term, particularly in American sports, where it describes tactically inhibited or conservative play. However, if ever there was a phrase ripe for re-appropriation by punters it is this one, because successful punting is nothing more than learning to play the percentages to your benefit.

As the website name suggests I only bet on what I know myself. My preoccupation is that select band of 42 Scottish league teams where my professional contacts, the reliability of my own personal prices and the evidence that my eyes take in over the course of each long hard season attending games, ensures I have an advantage over the ‘abroad’-based compilers with their unresponsive historical stats and computer form models.

Quite simply I am an expert in my niche. I know more about Scottish football than the majority of uk odds compilers.

I wait for them to make mistakes then tell you where they are.

The bookmakers’ broad brush-stroke approach works very well in The Premiership and the world’s richest leagues where you can be sure that the big clubs have the squad depth to make a fist of things even in the midst of a major injury crisis. However, it’s a different matter when a key player at Dumbarton or Queens Park is missing, that’s when in-depth local knowledge can literally pay dividends.

I believe there are three key components to making money from betting. They are firstly: being able to interprete form better than most whether, it’s presented in the format of stats or what you see with your own eyes watching your chosen sport. But that isn’t enough to guarantee success in itself.

You also need to be able formulate a staking strategy that makes the most of your edge and also guards against the vagaries of both the luck that will inevitably go against you from time to time and the mistakes you will surely make too.

Lastly, you need to be able to accurately form your own prices for the markets you intend to bet in.

How I Work

I don’t believe in systems, I don’t believe in shortcuts and I think that stats, though useful, are only ever as good as the interpretive spin that is placed on them. In short, I don’t think there is any substitute for hard work.

As far as the weekend selections are concerned, the week begins for me on a Sunday night (or Monday if there is a live SPL game on TV). I start with a blank page and look to compile what I think would be a competitive list of prices I’d be happy to offer on the upcoming fixtures, were I a bookmaker.

By midweek the major bookmakers have priced up the weekend’s Scottish card and it’s a simple question of looking for any differences of opinion I can exploit. This process, usually generates a shortlist of somewhere between three and ten games I want to look at in further detail.

I then send a document containing my list of my prices, the best prices available and my shortlist of possible bets to a select group of trusted colleagues, from both the football and betting fraternities, with a view to them providing the checks and balances of trusted second opinion. At this stage I’ll also take a view on prices where the bookmakers look particularly out of line and, if I think a price is likely to be gambled, I’ll send subscribers a message telling them to take advantage before the price goes.

On Friday, it’s a question of trying to glean any important early team news as possible by ringing round my various sources after training. At this late stage I also want to keep abreast of any major gambles as they happen, just in case there might be something I have missed. A lot can happen on a Friday (or in the afternoon prior to midweek fixtures). Prices that initially seemed unappealing can suddenly become extremely viable with news of an emerging injury crisis, a manager’s plan to change a team’s formation or playing style or even dressing room unrest infecting a group of players.

Finally, all the information gathered over the course of the week is distilled into the previews and bet recommendations sent out to members in time for Saturday’s 3pm kick off. Then it is off to a game with my notebook and an open-mind. Over the weekend I’ll write up my notes on the game so I can build up an ongoing picture of each league’s teams and their strengths and weaknesses. And then the process begins all over again.
