The key to football betting is to stay away from results and concentrate on goals & corners. That is where the consistent profit is.

Only got two out of four winners yesterday but the big bet on Under 2.5 Goals at Crewe meant it was another profitable week with the low corners at Morecambe sealing it. It wasn't as big a winning set of bets as the previous three but still cleared £91 profit.

Made £330 midweek, £580 last Saturday & £614 on Easter Monday.

Here is a full list of my bets:

£600 Brentford v Nottm F - Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.74 - Result 2-2 - WON
£200 Cardiff v Bolton - Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.86 - Result 0-3 - Lost
£200 Exeter v Newport - Under 11 Corners (DNB) @ 1.85 - Result 9 Corners - WON
£200 Portsmouth v Plymouth - Under 10.5 Corners @ 2.00 - Result 9 Corners - WON
£200 Sheff Wed v Charlton - Under 10.5 Corners @2.00 - Result 9 Corners - WON
£200 Crewe v Leyton O - Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.00 - Result 1-1 - WON

That is £1615 profit since Easter.

You need to find an area where your knowledge is greater than the bookies. At this stage of the season, the bookies shorten up teams with something to play for massively so the value is elsewhere. There were clear coupon busters yesterday with Wimbledon v Wycombe and Swindon v Yeovil because Wycombe & Swindon cannot be trusted with a penny against teams with nothing to lose. Even Wednesday bust a few accumulators.

The bookies try to encourage punters into mug bets like accumulators or Goalscorer/Score bets with big odds and that is where most punters go. Thankfully, it means that I can take my money relatively unnoticed because it is a small amount to the bookies but if you do it every week, it can provide a decent second income.
