This post is not mine I just read it recently, I like it and I want to share it with you. The post is from Ed’s betting blog. Here is the story:
One of the first rules in online betting is not to bet against a rock bottom team. This is usually taken for granted but too many times have the punters lost their money disregarding this rule. We will try to give you some insight into this matter and help you take this more seriously.
Even though many punters believe that the teams destined for relegation have nothing to play for, this is not entirely true. The players know that the only chance to stay in the league is to impress the visiting scouts and possible future employers and that is one of the reasons why they excel in the closing stages of the league campaign. This is something you should look for as the aforementioned players could be even more motivated than their opponents.
The teams that have lost all the chances to stay in the league are no longer under any pressure as their destiny is already determined, and we all know how much better a team play when the players are under no pressure. Teams in this situation are likely to risk more as they have nothing to lose and that can produce very good results.
The stronger teams also tend to underestimate these rock bottom teams and they usually do not take the game seriously, which later comes back to haunt them. Underestimating your opponent is probably the worst thing you can do in football, as it is enough for the weaker team to score an early goal and then they are very hard to break due to the very defensive approach they are likely to adopt after scoring the goal.
These are just some guidelines you should have in mind when placing your bets but ultimately, it is up to you to assess all the facts and see if it is worth betting against a rock bottom team.
