Summing up the Season in Betting

As in any kind of activity, it is necessary to sum up bets. Only in other spheres it is customary to evaluate the successes at the end of the year, and the specificity of the bets forces it to do at the end of the sports season. Only after you have summed up the season, you will be able to fully realize your mistakes and successes in bets, eliminate non-working strategies and trends, and also compare goals and results of the year. Putting a fat point at the end of the sports season, you will clear a springboard for future bets and arm only with the most necessary knowledge in the upcoming season.

When summarizing the results, you need to do the following:

1. To designate the financial results of the season. If you keep a record of bets, then at the end of the season it will be easy to make a table in which you will see the results of bets in various shops, as well as on different sports and tournaments. So you can understand in which directions you should move next season.
2. Calculate the results of strategies. During the season even professional bettors test several game strategies. At the end of the season, you need to evaluate the results by strategies, provided that there is a large sample of matches.
3. Sort trends. Individual trends cease to work at the end of the season, while others only manifest themselves at this time. You need to reject those trends that stopped working and identify trends that can be based on in the following season. 
4. Make a list of resources that provide the most timely information. During the season during the analysis you will constantly search for information on various sites. Over time, you can understand where the information appears first. This is very valuable information that will help to make a bet at the right time. Make the list of sites that you will use next year.

No advice from other handicappers can replace your own experience, which is of great importance to the player. Summing up allows the bettor to weed out unnecessary information and glean only the most important of the outgoing season. The findings will help you enter the new season as successfully as possible.

Motivation of teams

The closer May, the more cautious begin to play football teams. If the defeat at the start of the season, the team brings only displeasure, then at the end of the season, each loss of points becomes critical. Some clubs until the last round are fighting for the championship and the European Cups, others are fighting for the salvation place in the league, the third motivates the money of the contenders for medals, which in this way try to suspend their competitors.

Bets at the start of the season and at its finish stage are two big differences. Many strategies that work well in the first half of the season, in its final part, may fail. In this regard, the question arises: how to bet at the end of the season and whether they need to take into account the motivation?

To understand how much motivation affects the teams, examine and compare the results of the teams in the last five seasons. First, calculate how many teams collect points in the first five rounds, and then make the same calculations for the last five rounds.

If you take in general for the leading leagues, then in the last rounds it is scored by 5-7% of goals more than in the first five rounds. Interestingly, the average number of fouls in May, on the contrary, falls by as much as 10%.

Comparing the last 10 seasons of the Russian Premier League, we found that in only three cases the gap between the first and the second places was more than two points. As you can see, even the question with the championship of the team is often postponed to the last round, not to mention other, more local tasks.

In the last 3 seasons, the teams of the top three in the final rounds lost only 5 times, and in general they played 45 games. 11% of the defeats from the leaders in the last rounds, but if you take the seasons as a whole, then the first three teams have almost 20% defeats. This suggests that in the final meetings the leaders play significantly better. The same cut in outsiders showed that at the end of the season the teams lose about the same as in other segments of the year.

It is worth noting yet another feature of the last rounds, which is very striking. Teams often play in a draw than before. Often this happens because clubs “paint” glasses. For some teams, a guaranteed 1 point is better than non-guaranteed 3.

Even though the odds for draws in May become lower, it makes sense to play in these markets. Almost always at the end of the season no-one’s results are more than bookmakers plan.

Conclusion

At the end of the season, you need to revise your approach to bets. Those trends that worked two or three months ago, at once, can stop generating revenue. Your task is not to miss the moment when the team will play extremely carefully.
