Angles & Simple Systems for Beginners
Angles are repeatable patterns that help identify good bets. Here are simple ones for beginners:
1. Home Underdogs With Strong Defence
Teams that rarely concede at home are often overpriced.
Look for:
- Clean sheet frequency
- Low xGA (expected goals against)
These are good Double Chance or + handicap targets.
2. High-Tempo Derbies
Derby matches are:
- Emotional
- Fast
- Often unpredictable
Common angles:
- Over cards
- Both teams to score
- Unders when tension is high
3. Late Goals in High-Press Teams
Teams that press aggressively can either:
- Break opponents late
- Get caught on the counter
Live betting angle:
Strong pressing teams often score after 75 minutes.
4. Fading Fatigued Teams
Back against teams:
- Playing their 3rd match in 7 days
- Flying back from Europe
- Missing several starters
These are often mispriced early in the week.
5. The “Too Good to Be True” Price
If a price feels suspiciously generous, it often means:
- Missing team news
- Hidden motivation factors
- Tactical mismatch
Research before assuming it’s an easy win.
