How to Choose a Soccer Handicapper

There are lots of handicappers betting on soccer, but how can you choose one that’s right for you? Here are some factors you should keep in mind. 

  • Track Record of Success – Look for handicappers who have a proven track record over time, not just short-term streaks. Consistent performance in picking winners across multiple seasons or leagues shows that their strategy is sustainable and not just luck.

  • Transparency and Accountability – The best handicappers are open about their past picks, both wins and losses. They provide detailed records and explanations of their decisions, which helps you trust that they are not hiding poor performance or cherry-picking results.

  • Expertise in Specific Leagues or Markets – Some handicappers specialize in certain leagues (like the EPL, MLS, or Serie A) or specific types of bets (spreads, totals, etc.). Choose a handicapper who focuses on the leagues or markets you’re interested in, as their deeper knowledge will likely lead to better predictions in those areas.

  • Balanced Approach to Risk and Reward – Reliable handicappers offer a balanced approach to betting, rather than chasing high-risk bets or long shots. Look for experts who consistently find value, rather than relying on risky parlays or low-probability outcomes to gain attention.

  • Reputation and User Feedback – Read reviews or testimonials from other bettors who follow the handicapper. A solid reputation within the betting community is a strong indicator that their insights and picks have been valuable over time, ensuring you’re following a trusted source.

 As you can see, we have a few handicappers that are placing hundreds of wagers, while others are a bit more conservative with their wagers. The fewer wagers placed often equates to a higher win percentage. 

Lou Diamond, for example, has a win rate of 68.75%. When you visit his profile and sort his wagers, you’ll see that he won the vast majority of his soccer bets on the moneyline wagers. 

His win rate for moneylines is higher than his average, at 69%. You can also see he bets a lot on international soccer, so he’d be a good handicapper to follow if you want simple moneyline suggestions on international games. 

When it comes to beting on spreads, Nick Borrman is your man. He’s racked up a nice bankroll with his spread betting. While his win rate is a bit lower, 58%, he’s still consistently in the green.

How Handicappers Find Soccer Value

Handicapping soccer matches, whether in Major League Soccer (MLS), the English Premier League (EPL), or top European leagues like La Liga or Serie A, involves a strategic blend of data analysis, market research, and expert intuition. 

Here’s how soccer handicappers find value:

Analyzing Advanced Team and Player Stats

Soccer handicappers dive deep into advanced statistics beyond the standard metrics like goals or possession. They consider data such as Expected Goals (xG), Expected Assists (xA), and shot quality, which provide a clearer picture of a team’s offensive and defensive efficiency. For example, a team may have fewer wins but consistently generate high xG, signaling that they’ve been unlucky and could be undervalued in the betting markets. Handicappers use this data to anticipate potential upsets or undervalued teams.

Comparing Odds Across Multiple Bookmakers

Handicappers are constantly hunting for the best odds across different sportsbooks. Since odds can vary slightly from one bookmaker to another, finding discrepancies allows for better value. If one bookmaker offers significantly higher odds for a team or outcome that the handicapper feels is underpriced, it presents a value betting opportunity. For example, if an EPL match between Manchester City and Arsenal sees Arsenal offered at higher odds than expected, despite strong recent form, handicappers would see value in backing Arsenal.

Understanding Market Movements

The odds for a soccer match can shift based on a variety of factors like player injuries, suspensions, or team news. However, sharp handicappers also track how public sentiment affects the market. If the betting public heavily backs a popular team, it can push the odds away from the true probability, creating opportunities to bet against the public. Handicappers can find value by identifying situations where the odds have moved too far in favor of one side due to public bias rather than data.

Evaluating Situational Factors

Soccer is a dynamic sport where many situational factors come into play, and sharp handicappers excel at analyzing these. Factors like weather conditions, travel fatigue, fixture congestion, and home/away performance splits can all impact a team’s likelihood of success. For example, an MLS team traveling across the country for an away match on short rest may perform worse than usual, even if they’re favored to win. Handicappers factor in these conditions to assess whether the odds appropriately reflect these influences.

Tracking Lineups and Tactical Changes

Handicappers also monitor starting lineups and tactical formations before placing bets. Changes in a team’s formation, key player absences, or even coaching decisions can significantly alter the dynamics of a game. For instance, if a typically defensive team switches to a more attacking lineup due to injuries, this could lead to more goals than expected, making the over/under market an attractive opportunity.

Assessing Motivation and Intangibles

Motivation is an intangible, yet crucial, factor in soccer betting. Teams may be more driven in certain situations—such as fighting relegation, chasing a title, or playing a heated derby match. Handicappers weigh these motivational factors when evaluating the odds. For example, a mid-table team in La Liga may have less to play for in a season-ending match, making them more vulnerable to upset by a relegation-threatened side.

Soccer Consensus Picks

Consensus data is valuable for bettors and handicappers because it provides insight into how the betting public is leaning on a particular game or event. By tracking where the majority of bets are placed, handicappers can gauge public sentiment and identify potential value opportunities. 

If the public heavily favors one side, it can cause the odds to shift, often creating more favorable lines for betting on the opposing side—especially when the public bias is not fully supported by statistical analysis. 

Understanding consensus data helps bettors make more informed decisions, allowing them to potentially bet against public overreaction and find edges where the market may be inefficient.

By partnering with sportsbooks, Scores and Stats can provide consensus data for a range of soccer games and tournaments. You’ll be able to see the amount wagered on spreads, moneylines, and totals, as well as where the sharp money is being placed.
