Soccer is very hard to bet on. It's hard to find value with the big leagues especially. Not to be presumptuous, but I wouldn't recommend tailing me or anyone else for that matter.
Just watch some matches or try and get as much info as you can. There are some decent picks on this site, but also you'll get a ton of news simply by searching Google News with the match you're interested in...
I check out
forum.bettingadvice.com - they have sections devoted to each league with some good info amongst some garbage
punterslounge.com/forums - similar to above
www.sfstats.net - stats on most leagues/competitions
www.soccerway.com - like the above
My record this year is:
2007 YTD: 205-182-30 (+19.96)
However, I've only gotten into a solid profit over the last couple of months by changing my staking plan to fixed units. If you look about 5 pages back you'll see that I was struggling. It's not to say that I reckon you're gonna blindly tail me, but to absolve me of any guilt I'd feel knowing you had - just make sure you get as much info as you can about a match before playing it! :thumbsup:
rhino i appreciate your time. getting into soccer has always been something i have been interested in having played the game extensively for 18 years and then giving it up just before university. the thing is the lines out there are crazy. these books want you to lay a ton of juice to bet the games, and then they only allow your bet to count for regulation.
I guess the worst thing is that it must be alot harder to find decent soccer books that still cater to the US market. Luckily, I can line shop and have access to alot of books which means I can get better odds. The European books along with Pinnacle have a bigger array of leagues/props/options/handicaps, and generally better odds because they'll be getting alot more action on it from the non-US markets. The government really fucked you guys over with that non-gambling bullshit.
yea i have done some hunting around and it looks like pinny really offers the best lines and most games. problem is unless you had an account on pinny prior to the no gamble days you cant get set up on there without a hassle.
im with you today on the copa final. i love argentina. really like the way those guys been playing. i know its brazil but crespo man hes due.

If you go to http://www.betbrain.com you can find odds for quite a few books for each game including those books still available to Americans. Also, I like to use http://www.tip-ex.com for another good listing of lines by book on the matches.
