It is important to note that for a betting lover, when making a decision on betting, the most important thing is to have correct and reliable information about the state of the playing teams. The more of this information, the better. During and at the end of the season, there is plenty of this data, because the teams played a lot of matches, everyone understands what the strength of this or that roster is, what tactics and schemes the teams use, who is the leader in it. At the beginning of the football season, the foundation on which this knowledge is based is blurred and unstable – the client of the bookmaker has nothing to rely on when making a bet.

What should you pay attention to before the start of the season?

The main parameters and criteria that the better should follow:

Has the coaching staff of the football squad changed?

Sometimes the loss of one or even several players is less significant for the club than the arrival of a new coach, because each coach has his own philosophy and view of the game, tactics, and relations with the players. Arriving at the club, each specialist seeks to adjust the team mechanism to his requirements, to select and train players to meet his own requirements, if possible. Not always grinding in a new place is painless for the team. Clubs often stall at the start of the season while players get used to the new requirements.

Departure and arrival of new players

Everyone is looking for a better place, where you can make good money, grow as a football player, and better than both. These processes also cause game perturbations that change the system of coordinates of the bettor in relation to the strength of the team he evaluates.

Financial questions

Nowadays, this is also an important factor. Clubs find and lose sponsors, owners, founders – all this greatly affects the processes taking place in the team and its gaming component.

How does the team spend the offseason?

Suppose one immediately decided on a new coach or continues to work with the old one, and is systematically preparing for the new season in a calm and working environment. The other one is the opposite – the whole off-season is still not decided on these issues, and everything is decided at the last moment, just before the start of the new season. Of course, this does not affect the performance of the team in the best way, especially at the start of the championship due to the big loss of time.

Friendly meetings

Many people are skeptical about control games, as they try out new schemes and game options, clubs often release second lineups, and leaders later join the training camp. But as the start of tournaments gets closer, rosters become more mainstream, game connections improve, and these meetings should be paid more and more close attention.

All changes confuse the established opinion about the level of the team, which makes it difficult for a fan to assess the strength of its new composition, and the more changes, the more time it takes to adjust and get used to new circumstances. Of course, if the changes in the roster are minimal, the team made a point strengthening and in a calm atmosphere holds training camps under the guidance of the old coach, then its strength can be conditionally considered at least equal to last year’s, which simplifies the better’s task.

Minus and plus bets on matches of the first rounds

Based on the arguments presented above, the biggest negative factor when betting on the first rounds of championships in football is the great unpredictability of the outcome due to the impossibility of a real assessment of the strength of the teams, because one can only guess how all the changes will affect the game of the team in an official meeting, but in In any case, even superclubs, which seem to be stocked with stars during the off-season, often have problems with scoring points at the start of the season. What then can be said about all the others …

But, curiously, in the same negative factor there is also a grain positive for the better. After all, unpredictability and lack of information similarly affect the bookmaker, who can make a mistake when forming the line and adding coefficients, being guided by the data of the last season by inertia. This can be used by the bookmaker’s client, who has closely followed the off-season upheavals of opponents and, based on his information, finds these erroneous bets. “Knowledge is power”, as the famous saying goes, and in our case, knowledge is also money that the user can win.

Of course, any gambling fan wants to actively roll into the season and start winning good money from the bookmaker, but often giving in to excitement is not the best solution.
