Which leagues do you bet on?

[acw]

Personally I only bet on a match when I like it of course, but looking back effectively there are certain leagues on which I bet much more than others.

On an average weekend I have about:
- 3 Premier League
- 2 Division One
- 2 German League
- 3 Dutch League
- 2 Belgian League
- 2 Scottish League
- 1 French League
- 1 Serie A or (not and!) B
- 1 Premiera or Segunda Liga
- 1 Portuguese League

Main thing is that I have far fewer bets on the Latin Leagues than on the bit more northern European ones. Would this be pure coincidence or could there be any explanation for it?

I bet on
-all the german leagues
- serie a
- la liga
- rarely on EPL
and in several small leagues on the reliable top tems to add them in a parlay like:
Belgium: Brügge, anderlecht
Scotland: Celtic, rangers
Austria
swiss
holland: PSV, Ajax, Fey.

i never bet on
French, turkish, south america or foreign lower leagues as i simply see no advantage for me in betting those. i dont know enough about these and it seems to me they are very hard to bet because of many upsets and strange results.

Main thing in betting (and that's for all sports) is: stick to what you know.
That's why i'm posting only my german weekend. i can give you inside info with write ups on these, but you guys can give it for greek, epl or danish league.

CU all for the next GERMAN WEEKEND

Is this because you need them since you can only bet on 3-teamers on certain Leagues with certain books?

- CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
- EUFA CUP
- EPL
- SPANISH
- ITALIAN
- BRAZILIAN

ACW, it is part of my money management to make plays at around even in every sport (as you can see also in my German hockey picks).
Therefore i like to combine two or three fav as ONE pick. F.e two favs at 1.5 and 1.3 for a combined 1.95.
This way of "small parlays" worked ot very profitable for me so far.

Reliable favs means for me that i think teams like ajax, glasgow or in swiss Basel have a much bigger chance at bets like 1.2 to win than in the major leagues like Ger, EPL spain or italy where upsets are more likely.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Mostly England,
with a mix of Scottish and German
rarely other leagues, Italian, Spanish, French, Belgian, etc.

I like to watch lots of the games and see the teams, so that is where my concentration lies.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

Mostly the EPL and the Champions league. Every so often a Game from Serie a or La Liga. But I really only watch the EPL here in NJ so that is what i bet most on and have more success at. My la Liga picks are brutally bad.

 

[matahari]

2 - England Div. One
2 - Belgium
2 - France
2 - Serie A
1 - Primera
1 - EPL
1 - Bundesliga
1 - Dutch
1 - Portugal
1 - Serie B/Scotland/Segunda

On the spring-autumn leagues I favour Veikkausliiga over Norway's Tippe and would very rarely bet on any other Scandinavian league.

 

[acw]

1 - Serie B/Scotland/Segunda
Only one of those three?
Celtic every match gives a 2+ handicap, that should have given you one Scottish PL bet every weekend at least already?!
Or have you discovered by now that it is not such a good thing to bet against these?

 

[matahari]

acw,

What percentage of your Scottish games involve Celtic/Rangers ?

 

[mr-x]

[JackDee]

Greek

"French, turkish, south america or foreign lower leagues as i simply see no advantage for me in betting those. i dont know enough about these and it seems to me they are very hard to bet because of many upsets and strange results."

i second that.

 

[matahari]

What I mentioned are the bets on an average weekend only. Besides that I love (actually much more than any of before mentioned leagues) : CL, UEFA Cup, Intertoto, Friendlies, Cups (Carling and FA Cup - 90% of my cup plays).
