As for my strategy, I think it is best to say I try to play safe bets, meaning I go through upcoming events and pick only these where I feel I know 100% who the winner will be. This is the preliminary stage where I get 20-25 matches. Then I go through these selections and make additional insights: standings, home / away streaks, league position, hot/cold streaks, team selection for the match, suspensions, gossip and other details. For example, a team which is under-performing and is lower in the table might be there because of bad luck (they are playing well but the results are different), or they have played more reputable teams at the beginning of the season, or maybe their best striker has been out injured or is considering a transfer. And we can never forget about the odds - it makes no sense to put a bet on the winner when the bookmakers already know there is a high possibility your favorite will win. So I try to find bargains. This is how I get my final selection of a few matches that I share. There is nothing particularly sophisticated in this method but I have learned that sometimes the bookmakers make bad assumptions from the facts and statistics they have in hand, and you can make use of this for your own profit.
