1. Set your maximum budget for your bets. You must determine what are your limits. Never risk to lose all your money with high bets, but on other hand it should not be too small, because your betting will be limited.
2. After you've decided the max budget, you must decide what will be your maximum bet. As a beginner we recommend you to start with $50. You can distribute it between couple of games. In this way your chances for a profit are bigger.
3. Choose a betting category. You can start with these two categories - Full Time Result - you can choose from three possible outcomes - Home Win, Away Win or Draw Win. The second basic category is Under or Over 2.5 - here you have to choose whether the scored goals in the match would be under or over 2.5.
4. You can find many sources on Internet with different websites for betting and soccer tips. By typing in Google "Football Betting Tips" you will find a lot of betting sites, just pick one and you can start.
5."Fixed Odds" For each possible outcome from these two categories bookies define fixed odds.
For example: The odds can be Away Win 4.8, Draw Win 2.5, Home Win 1.5. If you bet $200 on Home Win and the predictions is correct, your win will be $300 ($200x1.5)
6.Choosing a bookmaker. Most of the soccer tips sites offers a list of bookies. Of course the best bookie for you will be the one with the highest odds. Once you choose your bookmaker you just need to register and start placing your bets.
7. After you've chosen a soccer tips site and bookmaker you have o choose a League that you want to bet on it. It's a good idea to evaluate the performance of your league. Compare the provided tips and the match results. If you choose leagues with big difference between the soccer tips site and the bookie tips you will increase your chances of wining.
8. Before placing any bet don't misjudge the important factors like - whether the match is friendly or not, National or International League, injured players, transfers and etc.
