Football Bets To Avoid

To ensure you get the best value for your bets, avoid betting on football wagers that will not give you good returns. You may just be wasting your hard earned money betting on them. Smart punters will avoid them, will you do the same? Here are three of the football betting options that you must avoid if you can:

• First Or Last Goalscorer

What makes this bet a dangerous one? There is no way to predict who will be on the game, who will be on the action or who will be on the bench. We don’t know what is on the coach’s mind so how can we even predict who will he send off on and who will set the first or the last goal? Some punters use the starting line up to predict but there will be substitutions all throughout the game so there is a very slim chance that you’ll predict the first or the last goalscorer.
• Shirt Number Betting

Bookies are doing everything to get you to bet on them. The latest trap is the fixed odds shirt number. You bet on a player, and if the player is sent off, you will get equivalent cash for the number on his shirt. Then you have additional money on your betting bank. Not a bad trap, isn’t it? But this is a betting option that simply doesn’t use betting principles.

• Half Time Or Full Time Betting

If predicting the result of a football game is a challenge, how much more predicting two results? Definitely it will be a full betting battle! And bookies gain more profit in half time or full time betting compared to your potential gain as a bettor. Aside from the slim chance of winning, your predicting job is made twice difficult.

If you want to get the best returns for your football bets, avoid these betting schemes. Don’t pour out money on bookie’s traps. After all, betting is not just for entertainment, it is for getting decent money returns as well.
