Unfortunately I've only just seen this. Hope blue is still around.
See,I'm fascinated by this answer because almost everywhere else I read that making a profit from football betting* isn't easy.Or as easy as it seems to be for blue that is.
So it seems to me that the most likely explanation is that blue has a great talent for soccer betting and because of this he is unaware that it's hard for nearly everyone else.
And my interest in this subject is such that I would like to know if this is true. My position is that I believe that in fact betting on soccer isn't easy at all and that most markets are unbeatable.
But obviously blue will say that might well be because I can't beat them.
But I think there's a way to try to find out if I'm right. I would ask blue if he wouldn't mind telling us how he became so brilliant at betting. I mean if he has always been able to do it that would suggest he's a genius since most bettors lose at first. If he also has say a first class degree in maths then that would pretty much confirm it.
And so I will personally still believe that I'm right and that only a tiny gifted minority can do this. BUT if it's far easier than I believe and blue isn't in fact a betting genius ,rather he learnt how to do it,then it would be wonderful for all of us I think if he could let us know how he learned to win from football.
Id love to know also whether stats are that useful -this may seem a stupid question to most but some bettors on forums insist they don't use them . And I do believe that there are exploitable situations ,it's just that they don't happen too often.
I have other questions but this post is long enough and I don't even know if blue is still around.
As I say I have a great interest in this.
I mentioned Tony Ansell before and one of the things he has claimed,I think I'm right in saying,is that people who can do what he dies are born not made.
So the point is if blue seems to confirm this then those of us who aren't winning after say 3 or 4 years if trying can just stop wasting out time and money.
(Yes I know many are doing it for entertainment but some really think they will win eventually)
*and in fact even trading football is supposed to be harder nowadays than it was although blue has already given an explanation for this to be fair
