Disappointed with how you went with your multi bet last weekend?
Winning money on football matches is not as simple as picking a team you like and hoping for the best.
With the right research and preparation, like anything, you can excel.
There are over seven million points of data that can be collected in any 10 minutes of a football match.
Every coach prepares to the minutest detail, and knows just how each player will react to a particular situation, including how he will react to outside distractions, such as fan noise.
One area which can have a huge impact on the result of a match is the crowd.
Researching which team plays well at home or which team wins more often than not on the road is a great place to start when placing a bet on football.
The crowd can have an influence not only on the players but also on the referees.
In test conditions, referees award 15.5% fewer fouls against the home team.
This should also be taken into account when betting on football.
So remember next time you place a bet, that there are far more variables that can decide a match than you probably initially though.
It’s not just about the players and the luck of the bounce of the ball.
Many teams may already have a huge advantage before they even step out onto the pitch due to the location of the match, the referee or even the size of the crowd.
