Just pulling your chains... I'll trying looking at this objectively here instead of constructively...
Look, we've seen this year several instances of fixed matches and such... and I'm not suggesting that these were fixed games. But these things happen in soccer, making the chalk incredibly difficult to lay unless you're extremely good at it. Just the general nature of the 0-0 and 1-1 draw in soccer are outrageous.
Markie Mark might have taught a very good lesson about these "lesser" leagues that aren't the standard La Liga, Premiership, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, etc. These are much lesser leagues that fly way under the spotlight, and in some cases, games really can be fixed quite easily and go unnoticed. Also, the talent level in these countries can't be nearly as diverse as the talent is in the Premiership, thus making these statistical upsets much more likely.
You bet a whole bunch of crap, making it physically impossible to carry a "good job" for 40 hours a week + cap all of this as effectively as possible. So from capper to capper, forget about something. Whether it be WNBA, baseball, or soccer, forget trying to scout so much stuff. It's impossible, even if all you're doing is looking up standings every day (not accusing you of it, just saying it's incredibly time consuming).
So find something and get extremely good at it before moving onto something else, and that doesn't just mean "soccer." The way you bet soccer, you're talking about hundreds of teams to scout. Pick one country or a couple leagues that information is much more available to (or any country which information is available to you) and stick with that before expanding... THAT'S how you'll get your money back in a quicker and safer way.
Not confrontational. Not trying to be. Just making a suggestion before you go off and make some half-cocked parlay with teams you know nothing about to try chasing your most recent defeats, thinking that these "chalk" teams have to start winning/covering at some point.

AFL, that's great advice for a NEW handicapper, but I've been gambling this way for some time now, so telling me to "just choose one league and stick to it", is like telling Warren Buffett to only invest in Bull markets. Now I'm not comparing myself to Mr. Buffett, but teaching old dogs new tricks is virtually impossible. We all know everything you said is the right way to gamble, but it's not the only way. I need all the action from MLB, WNBA, CFL (Now), soccer, Tennis etc....This all creates revenue for me. When I came onto the seen I started out like 36-10 and made a sh*t load of money betting high stakes like I do, then went about 55-60% for about the next 40 games or so. Now I'm struggling a bit, but still around 57% and up some pretty good units. Thanks for the advice, but It's quite clear I know what I'm doing here. BTW, you are picking winners in the CFL room at an alarming rate man! Nice job, and those threads you have seem to be alot of fun for you. Keep it up AFLGURU OR CFLGURU? Which is it?
