Football Bets: Top Bet Types For Football
James Dooley: Hi, today I'm joined with Joe Norris from Get Your Tips Out. And today's episode of the UK Sports Betting Tips podcast is surrounding football bets. And what type of football bets that you provide daily football tips for? And what football bets are you specifically placing usually? Let's say for a weekend it could be a weekend football aer or over two and a half goals both teams to score halftime fulltime. Obviously there's lots of different bet types that you could be doing. So what's your like favorite type of football bets Joe?
Joe Norris: Well my favorite personally is a treble on on the football. Um and I like to combine. So I won't just do three teams to win. I'll probably have one or two teams in there to win and then one game both teams to score. That tends to be how I do it. Normally a treble um for get your tips out. We often um get our aka boosted and it to be honest it follows a similar format. It will be like win win win or lo not win or lose it'll be win and then it'll be both teams to score uh mixed in normally a four or five fold aka. Um but yeah personally when I'm approaching it I'll look at the weekend's games and I'll try and find like a a treble that I think is pretty much nailed on. Um, and I'd rather go sort of a bigger stake on that than a smaller stake on a on a big aer.
James Dooley: Yeah, for sure. I mean, I used to love the football aers. Um, choosing five or six home home selections that I think are nailed on the bankers certainties, so to speak, and then kind of kind of roll them up. Um, but yeah, over the years now, I've tried to start finding value in the markets. Yeah, I do like the um if I think it's going to be an open game, especially if I think I don't know why this is, but I kind of look for where I think there's going to be an open game and lots of goals and I think the away team might win. And what I normally do is both teams to score an away team and I'll choose five selections and I'll do doubles and trebles on the five.
Joe Norris: Yeah, that's that's that's a good way. I mean, that's similar to me then really with the with the treble aspect of it. You're covering it.
James Dooley: Yeah, for sure. you only need to get like well if you get three up you get the treble up and then you're getting three doubles up as well. Um but yeah I sometimes I like doing as a bit of an outside I might do a Yankee on a few choosing where I think it's going to be a really really tight game and I might do like four draws.
Joe Norris: Yeah.
James Dooley: Just cuz sometimes at five to two you're looking at the the how many draws there are over a season and then you're looking at it going Yeah. There is normally every two and a half games if you're doing it every five games is normally two draws. On average uh the way it is. But when you start discarding when top and top are playing bottom of the league and then you start looking at it normally it's one of one of your three games is a draw which then means at five to2 this is slight value. So what where the teams are playing against each other that you think is going to be close. I do think there is some kind of mileage. The only thing is a lot of punters hate backing a draw. It's not people. It's a cop out sort of thing.
Joe Norris: Yeah. People like doing the outcome of these are going to win the game and stuff like that. So, for that reason, it can be a bit of a boring bet. Uh, but sometimes I can I can definitely see your angle with it. I mean, um, something else to mention as well is if I'm watching a game, so if it's like a Super Sunday, um, I love having inplay booking bets.
James Dooley: Yeah. Yeah.
Joe Norris: So, I was watching Chelsea Arsenal the other day. Um, someone got booked after 15 minutes. So, you just know it's going to be a floodgate of cards when there's an early booking in a in a feisty game like that. And I ended up uh I did a inplay double uh Cucarella and um Kaisedo and it came it came in in the first half, right? And it so it's like but the booking Mets, they're not easy to land, but I feel like you have to do them in play. You have to see the gist of the game, what the ref's doing. Like cuz I've learned my from my mistakes with it. Like years ago, I would do I would try and pinpoint games where I thought there was going to be bookings and put them on before the game. The game would start, you know, within 10 minutes that you've done your money.
James Dooley: Yeah.
Joe Norris: So, I I think the absolute key is watching like the first 5 10 minutes and seeing what type of game it's going to be, seeing what the ref's doing because there's definitely value to be had when it's a when it's a game where it's like you watch first 10 minutes, it's just a free-for-all. there's challenges flying in there, the the pace of the game's high, that's when you sort of can really have a go at it and uh get rewarded.
James Dooley: It's really interesting you say that because we I do exactly the same thing with play bookings and I always wait until the first card has been given. I won't I won't even if I think it's a feisty you're 15 minutes into the game and even if I think this is a feisty game, I'll wait for that first booking. And the reason why I do that is because she's s especially when it is a a big derby, the Premier League are pretty good at putting the referees on that keep control of the game and try not to give that early card out. So I feel at times I'm like that's definitely a booking. Like that was the 17th minute they'd book them because they're only 10 minutes into the game. They're like, "Oh, get away with it. Get away with it. Get away with it." The minute they give that first one out, that's it. Then like you said, the flood.
Joe Norris: Yeah. Exactly. And also you you got the aspect of um like Europe, like Champions League, different refs. I've had games where I've had a bet and then you can just tell that this ref is doing everything he can to not book anyone.
James Dooley: Yeah.
Joe Norris: And it's a nightmare when you're watching it. You're seeing the tackles flying and you think like how how can he not be booking players? But that's where by watching the first 20 minutes, you're gathering information which is allowing you to find that value. Whereas I think if you just go off the the black and white stats it can cost you definitely.
James Dooley: Ah, David's made quite a lot of money, David Douly on um bookings and he's been following specific refs and like what seems to happen I don't know the full ins and outs of this he he'd have to tell you on it where there's certain referees that are like card happy card card and they must get told and like look you're giving too many cards out it's too easy in the game for you you're averaging eight cards a game where all these others are averaging four cards it seems to be that you're the problem of that is that is definitely a thing 100%. And and then what he ends up doing is he'll wait until like he's there's been a game or two games on the bounce where they've only give like two cards out and then at that point then he's backing low cards because everyone everyone wants to bet on an outcome of something happening where he's beckoning on an outcome not happening. So he's going like under five cards or under four cards even in like a feisty game if he's like look these have been told now stop handing cards out. There's times where he's like nailed on. Even like the obstruction ones and they're pulling them back and you're like that's a booking and they're not giving it and you're like oh you've been told.
Joe Norris: I guess that's similar to like uh two teams that are free scoring and then they play each other.
James Dooley: Yeah.
Joe Norris: And they know they've got to tighten the defense cuz there there's going to be a lot of goals and then it you do you do get a lowscoring game, can't you? Like when that happens.
James Dooley: Yeah.
Joe Norris: So that's that's a really good angle for him to look at.
James Dooley: Yeah. He's always doing that and his his big one um my brother David is on uh spread betting. So what he'll do as well is especially some midweek games if there's a Champions League game on um or even at a weekend. So let's say it's Champions League on midweek, Champions League comes a uh Premier League comes in on a Saturday and they've rested two or three players and the players that have come in have got a shirt number with 40 on the back and they're playing up front and he's backing shirt numbers times bookings. Oh yeah, I remember 10 minutes. And he he's won some serious money at Spread X. Yeah. By doing the sports betting like the spread betting on football. Um especially if we can get in early before they adjust the prices. If you're one of the first to get the team news and you see there's some high shirt numbers on. Yeah, he's won he's won some serious money on on on the spread.
Joe Norris: But yeah, it's interesting you say that on the in play. Is there anything else that you do with inplay football?
James Dooley: Well, I was just going to mention as well if anyone wants to follow the inplay bookings and stuff, we've got a telegram group specifically for that.
Joe Norris: Yeah.
James Dooley: So, I'll give you the link and you can put it um below this video.
Joe Norris: Yeah, for sure. So, if anyone's watching this, what is your preferred football bets? Do you like both teams to score the over two and a half goals? I I one other one, Joel. I tell you what, we made a lot of money in over the years. Uh back in the day we used to do lucky 15s and they used to pay the treble the odds um on first goal scorers and I David used to like go in the lower league kind of clubs and find certain strikers that are like 30 40 goals a season that should be like a short price and they might have got seven eight to one from score first and you're like that is good value.
James Dooley: Yeah there's been plenty of times we've had like three and four up in a lucky 15 on that. But anyone who's watching this what's your preferred football bet? Um, is it just flat out home team to win, away the lads? Like what what is it? Leave a comment in the comment section.
