In soccer, the refereeing opportunities are almost endless thanks to global coverage of all the major leagues in the world.
OddsExchange, an odds comparison site, is very useful for finding arbitrage opportunities, not only for soccer but also for other sports. There are so many bookmakers that offer soccer results and that is a very good thing for us. It ensures many opportunities for easy profit.
It is important to note that in the UK many of the bookmakers will compile similar odds so you will not find many such opportunities between 2 UK bookmakers on an English football match.
However, different odds can be found with European bookmakers that will give you arbitrage opportunities. On your journey to search for arbitrage opportunities, you should open accounts with as many online sportsbooks around the world as possible.
One of the best soccer tips is to start looking at the lower leagues first and work your way up instead of the other way around. Remember that there are very few minor league soccer experts out there, so there are likely to be more price gaps here, and therefore more arbitrage opportunities to be found.
If possible, get news before books. Remember that with soccer you will find that the news can drastically change the odds. The good news is that some bookmakers are much less responsive than others when it comes to changing the odds and this will result in the creation of arbitrage opportunities.
Officiating opportunities can be found in other soccer markets such as corners and total goals, but these are harder to find and your main search should be focused on results after the 90-minute box. In other words, keep it simple, anything beyond 90 minutes might confuse you.
An important piece of advice that applies to any sport is that you should always secure the best price first, usually the one that is out of line with what other bookmakers are offering, because this price may not last.
