Soft book price betting

These sheets are usually derived from the same readily-available statistical sources and, as such, will already be factored into the bookie’s price. I struggle with the concept of reliance on head-to-head and last 5-10 match outcomes to calculate probabilities that are displayed in coloured tables and sold as alerts or tips. What sites or sources do you use to follow them? What are your favourite websites for research? More recently, I noticed that ice hockey was presenting some nicely-priced value picks in the 3-way 1×2 markets so have been tipping these until my recent enforced break due to family circumstances (DOI: I know nothing about ice hockey apart from the value prices available!). It is definitely getting much more challenging finding an edge in football betting despite what you see on gambling Twitter! This last year, I have found that value on the 1×2 markets has become more elusive to find, which makes me wonder whether even the soft bookmakers are becoming more efficient in their pricing (or just duplicating sharp books). I don’t really limit myself to any particular leagues or countries as my primary aim is to find value odds which can present themselves anywhere. As an ardent football fan, I have predominantly concentrated on football betting, in particular the 1×2 and Asian Handicap markets.
