Turnarounds (HT/FT 1/2 and 2/1) - An easy step by step guide

Turnarounds are the sweetest bets that are offered in the match markets. Rarely valued less than @ coefficient 25 or 26 (except teams like Basel, Arsenal, prob. soon Real M at certain bookies), they offer you the chance to win big with small stakes.

The main question is - what teams do often turnarounds?

1. On the first place, it is good to have a team with leaky defense. A perfect sample is Real M, but any top team in Spain apart from Barcelona will do.

2. You need a team that has the winning mentality. This is easy - all the famous clubs that are usually fighting for the title has this type of mentality. For example, this is Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal in Premiership (this year Pool s*ck)

3. You need a team with scoring strikers. Once again Real M fits very well in this category. For example you would not like to bet a turnaround with Pool the ending winner, as this year they clearly does not have a fit scorer (I will be having second thoughts once Torres does 3-4 matches in a row and scores in each of them)

4. If the match is a derby, or follows/precedes an important encounter for the stronger team - this is a good sign. The players could be having second thoughts and be less motivated, at least in the first half. Then the coach could give them "a talking" and eventually the stronger team will turn the match around.

The good thing at such bets - there is always value. You cannot lose that big - you could only win big.

I personally have always played 2-3 low coefficient matches in a coupon, but turnarounds give you the necessary diversity. Betting is a fun, but betting on turnarounds is big fun. Today's match Bayern M - Man United was big fun.

Cheers,

The Art of Betting

To win from betting you have to be lucky, haven't you?

The most important step you should make when entering the world of football betting is to gather as much important information as possible. Be informed! Yes, it is simple as that. Many sites, also known as betting guides (infobettor.com, goal.com and soccernet-assets.espn.go.com), provide useful information in the form of match previews, expected formations, live comments, video highlights and team news and so on and so no.

It is not rocket science, but you do need to be persistent and willing to dedicate some of your time to examine the various aspects of the football game. It is vital to be familiar with each team’s strengths and weaknesses, to have clear expectations of what a certain player could bring to a game and most importantly - to keep up with teams form, players stats and injuries, and teams formation at all times. Unfortunately, the importance of these features has often been neglected and not all betting guides offer such variety of information at two clicks. From all the betting guides, only a few are providing the most detailed and user friendly formations and players stats. Choosing a betting guide that suits your needs best is the first move to being able to place a winning bet.

Remember - getting the bookies’ money is a game you can learn how to win!
