Betting Strategies
The bookmakers offer odds that are slightly under what their probability models tell them is the fair value. This bookmaker margin is similar to the way casino table games and slot machines are rigged to pay out less then the gambler puts in. In other words, the house always wins, even in sports betting. But there is a weak spot for the bookmaker, and that is their market model. Their models are usually correct, but sometimes they are imperfect. We can find those imperfections by going through past football data and comparing it to past bookmaker odds. Then we can find some patterns that made profit. Some of those patterns might just be random good luck (data mining) and some of those patterns will be true value trends. It is those value trends that we want to find and follow ourselves. To do this, we need a large amount of data and software to analyze it. In the past, this took a lot of time and needed some skill with spreadsheets like Excel. Some sites charge for their historical data, but Betaminic offers their historical data for free in the Betamin Builder Tool. (They make their money if you want to get future picks of value trends emailed to you.) This is a great starting point for finding value trends or just following existing value trends that others have found and shared.
What is Betaminic?
What if you backed Man City at home in every game? Would you make a profit?
What if you backed the draw in every Premier League game last season?
What if you backed over 2.5 goals in games with teams that have a high goal-average?
The answers to those and other questions are just a few clicks away. Big Data Analysis is now freely available to the ordinary punter thanks to Betaminic and its revolutionary Betamin Builder Tool. Over 200,000 matches since March 2012 in 111 leagues.
Have you ever wondered how some professional gamblers make their strategies?
Are you tired of making your own excel databases in the search for a winning system?
Betaminic is a website that has a free online tool for analysing soccer statistics and historical bookmaker odds. By analysing past data of over 150,000 matches, winning patterns can be found. For example, there are some leagues where backing over 2.5 goals in certain conditions leads to profit long term. Betaminic’s tool, the Betamin Builder, allows you to find those value patterns. You can also have future picks from those profitable trends emailed to you for a fee so that you can bet on them. Basically, if you can find what betting system would have made profit in the past, it gives you a promising strategy to follow in the future. You can sign up for free and see for yourself.
Betaminic has been available to the public since 2017 and has grown quickly. You can create your own private strategies or follow publicly shared strategies. Currently, there are over 350 shared strategies available on the site. Some of them have been researched and created by Betaminic and their team, and some have been created and shared by ordinary users. All the strategies have been created from researching Betaminic’s large database of odds and football statistics. After signing up for free, you can click on the “public strategies” section and see all the strategies.
Big data strategies find the inefficiencies in the bookmaker models where consistent mistakes have been made. They find value bets. The Betaminic strategies can be followed as a standalone betting system. However, once we have a historically profitable betting trend, we can multiply profits with a suitable staking plan and then set up auto-betting and auto-trading bots to get even more value out of these base trends.

Strategy Details

This strategy has a low maximum drawdown and works across all 111 leagues available in the Betaminic database. This makes me confident that it has found a winning trend that works across many markets. The 54% win rate makes it an easy strategy to follow. |
My Bets and Staking 1) 5% percentage bet on the main over 2.5 goals FT pick. 2) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 0.5 goals FT market. 3) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 0.5 goals HT market. 4) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 1.5 goals FT market. 5) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 1.5 goals FT market IF the match is 0-0 at HT. (Whitaker3 Staking: If odds 1.01-1.49 then bet 2%, if odds 1.50-1.99 then bet 1.5%, if odds 2.00-2.49 then bet to win 2%, if odds 2.50-4.49 bet to win 2.5%, if odds 4.50+ bet to win 3%) |
Profit Target These strategies are long term trends and need to be followed for a period of 1,000 bets to allow the trend chance to get through positive and negative variance and have a chance to show its projected profits. If Level Stakes of £50, then after 1,000 bets we aim for +71 points profit, so £3,550 – £600 pick costs (€690), leaves £2,950 profit after 1,000 bets, which will take about 2 years. With my extra bets and custom staking plan, I aim to achieve that profit target in 6-12 months. Over 1,000 bets I aim to make nearly 10 times the level stakes profits, so about £30,000 profit after picks costs after 2 years from a starting bank of £1,000. |
Current Results (2022-10-4) +£317 after 99 picks (4 months since 2022/6/3) |

This strategy is based on a core idea that I researched myself 4 years ago in my first book “Winning Betting Strategies” as the Colossus 06 Away Scoring Overs and has been making profit long term. It has a higher maximum drawdown than the first strategy but I feel that this has also found a long term profitable trend in the markets. |
My Bets and Staking 1) 5% percentage bet on the main over 2.5 goals FT pick. 2) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 0.5 goals FT market. 3) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 0.5 goals HT market. 4) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 1.5 goals FT market. 5) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the over 1.5 goals FT market IF the match is 0-0 at HT. (Whitaker3 Staking: If odds 1.01-1.49 then bet 2%, if odds 1.50-1.99 then bet 1.5%, if odds 2.00-2.49 then bet to win 2%, if odds 2.50-4.49 bet to win 2.5%, if odds 4.50+ bet to win 3%) |
Profit Target These strategies are long term trends and need to be followed for a period of 1,000 bets to allow the trend chance to get through positive and negative variance and have a chance to show its projected profits. If Level Stakes of £50, then after 1,000 bets we aim for +49 points profit, so £2,450 – £600 pick costs (€690), so £1,850 profit after 1,000 bets, which will take about 1 year 4 months. With my extra bets and custom staking plan, I aim to achieve that profit target in 3-4 months. Over 1,000 bets I aim to make nearly 10 times the level stakes profits, so about £24,000 profit after picks costs after 1 year 4 months from a starting bank of £1,000. |
Current Results +£116 after 120 picks (4 months since 2022/6/5) |

This is my edited version of another public strategy that has done well. It works across all 111 leagues in the database and that gives me confidence that it has found a real trend in the statistics. It backs underdogs with poor recent form at home. Its average odds are higher at 3.75 and its maximum drawdown is also higher at -46.67. The win rate is also a low 30%, so you need willpower and discipline to follow it, but I really like the logic behind this strategy and the fact that it gets 7% yield across all leagues. |
My Bets and Staking 1) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the main home win pick. (If odds 1.01-1.49 then bet 2%, if odds 1.50-1.99 then bet 1.5%, if odds 2.00-2.49 then bet to win 2%, if odds 2.50-4.49 bet to win 2.5%, if odds 4.50+ bet to win 3%) |
Profit Target These strategies are long term trends and need to be followed for a period of 1,000 bets to allow the trend chance to get through positive and negative variance and have a chance to show its projected profits. If Level Stakes of £50, then after 1,000 bets we aim for +72 points profit, so £3,600 – £600 pick costs (€690), so £3,000 profit after 1,000 bets, which will take about 3 years 9 months. With my custom staking plan, I aim to achieve that profit target in 1 year. Over 1,000 bets I aim to make nearly 3 times the level stakes profits, so about £9,000 profit after picks costs after 1 year from a starting bank of £1,000. |
Current Results +£74 after 9 picks (3 weeks since 2022/9/14) |

This draw strategy is an updated version of a strategy from my first book “Winning Betting Strategies” that has also made profit long term, and its updated version works across all 111 leagues in the database. This is again part of my preference for strategies that work across all leagues. I feel that there is les chance of data mining if a strategy works across all leagues. |
My Bets and Staking 1) 0.25-2% Whitaker3 Staking bet on the main draw pick. (If odds 1.01-1.49 then bet 2%, if odds 1.50-1.99 then bet 1.5%, if odds 2.00-2.49 then bet to win 2%, if odds 2.50-4.49 bet to win 2.5%, if odds 4.50+ bet to win 3%) |

If Level Stakes of £50, then after 1,000 bets we aim for +57 points profit, so £2,850 – £600 pick costs (€690), so £2,250 profit after 1,000 bets, which will take about 2 years 8 months. With my extra bets and custom staking plan, I aim to achieve that profit target in 9-15 months. Over 1,000 bets I aim to make nearly 3 times the level stakes profits, so about £6,750 profit after picks costs after 1 year from a starting bank of £1,000. |
Current Results -£3.59 after 7 picks (3 weeks since 2022/9/14) |
5. 841 LAY the negative trend Home LGA

This lay strategy started off as just testing out a theory, but has made profit more consistently than some of my back betting strategies, so I have decided to recommend it officially. Since it is based on laying the picks, it needs a Betfair account. My referrals can email me to find out how to create this strategy in your private strategies area in the Betamin Builder. |
My Bets and Staking 1) 2% Percentage Lay bet on the main home win pick using opposite price. 2) 2% Percentage Lay bet on the main home win pick asking for 2 ticks better on Betfair using opposite price. 3) 2% Percentage Lay bet on the main home win pick asking for 4 ticks better on Betfair using opposite price. |
Profit Target These strategies are long term trends and need to be followed for a period of 1,000 bets to allow the trend chance to get through positive and negative variance and have a chance to show its projected profits. If Level Stakes of £50 lays, then after 1,000 bets we aim for +100 points profit, so £5,000 – £600 pick costs (€690), so £4,400 profit after 1,000 bets, which will take about 1 year 3 months. With my extra bets and custom staking plan, I aim to achieve that profit target in 6 months. Over 1,000 bets I aim to make nearly 4 times the level stakes profits, so about £16,000 profit after picks costs after 1 year 3 months from a starting bank of £1,000. |
Current Results £256 after 208 picks (4 months since 2022/6/10) |

You are welcome to join.
I have created Bf Bot Manager bot files (.gz) that can be used to get the best value out of the Betaminic betting strategies. There are bots that bet on the tips pre-game and bots that bet in-play depending on game score and in-play events and statistics. The bot set includes some experimental bots that are still in development and this is where sharing ideas will really help.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many users get confused with the word “strategy” since both Betaminic and the Bf Bot Manager use them. I often talk about Betaminic strategies and bot strategies. They are 2 very different things.
Betaminic strategies are betting systems created based on historical football data and bookmaker odds to find what betting patterns made profit in the past. It then allows you to pay to receive future picks from those Betaminic strategies as tips.
Bot strategies are the Bf Bot Manager strategies I attach which are betting bots that place bets according to the rules set by the user. They are not betting systems in themselves.
You can think of the Betaminic strategies as the instructions we feed into the bot strategies that are the programs that do the work of placing bets.

All 30 strategies are analysed in depth with factsheets that show the premise of each strategy, profit, yield, losing streaks, bet number, average odds, strike rate and maximum drawdown. Each four-page factsheet is an easy at-a-glance way to see a breakdown of profit by year and month. This includes information not shown on the Betaminic website: the percentage of winning months, longest winning and losing runs in months, average monthly and yearly profit, profit range per year and per month, average number of bets per year and per month. (See my website for a free example factsheet.)
If you are not using Betaminic, this book will introduce you to a new world of winning football betting strategies.
If you are already using Betaminic, this guide book will help you get the most out of it and put you on the path to even greater profits.
Betaminic is a powerful tool for finding strategies that make consistent profit over the long term. You can find them yourself by researching your ideas and gut feelings about football. This does, however, take time and that is why I present here twenty-one working strategies that you can use as they are or adapt according to your own ideas.
All of the data in the factsheets is useful to get a feel for a strategy. We want to know how profitable it is, what kind of risk we need to be prepared for and how many picks we can expect each month. Also, we want to know the bad streaks, when they happened, how bad they were, how volatile each strategy is. We can get this information by using the tools in the Betamin Builder, but with this book you can have them all in one easy to view, standardized format so that you can pick them out like a menu according to your taste and then you can refer back to them easily at a glance to compare current performance to past results and make sure you are on the right path to profit.
The key thing we will see from all of these strategies is that they all made profit over the long term and also that they all had losing months, sometimes multiple losing months in a row. We will see that some strategies have a great yield but few picks each month, while others with lower yields generate more profit faster through a higher volume of bets each month. The Colossus21, which is a combination of all the strategies, will show that by not putting all your eggs in one basket, and spreading the risk across as many strategies as possible, you could have achieved profit almost every month. 70 out of 72 months ended in profit from March 2012 to February 2018. While past results are no guarantee of future performance, we can have reasonable expectations that we have found a winning strategy.

This second book will explain a new methodology that aims to reduce the chances of creating strategies that are just based on data mining and will not lead to positive results. Eight improved strategies based on this methodology are then presented in the Proven8 that makes an average of 18 points profit per month with about 180 bets per month, a yield of 10% and 89% of months being profitable. Finally, it will be shown how these strategies can be used together with existing strategies to create my recommended Multi19 system that I currently use which makes an average of 47 points profit per month needing about 600 bets per month.
