If, as an American, you talk about handicapping football with bettors in most places in the world, you won't receive the information on the Steelers or Dolphins that you might expect. Football wagering in the United States usually refers to the NFL. Football wagering elsewhere in the world usually refers to soccer, especially with the 2010 World Cup approaching.

When it comes to predicting mls, south american european or world cup soccer matches, you need to follow many of the same common-sense techniques you follow when handicapping the NFL, college football, college basketball, MLB, NBA, or NHL. Do your homework, understand the types of betting offered, and you'll have some success with your all your soccer picks. Follow some of the tips listed here to help you picking soccer correctly.

Soccer offers some different types of wagers than other sports, such as the Double Chance wager, which allows you to wager that one team will either win or tie. With soccer teams often finding an advantage in playing for a tie (or draw) in terms of the standings, this type of wager can be advantageous, even if the odds are not great. Other wagers allow you to predict the first player who will score a goal in the game. It's very important to know and understand each type of soccer wager that's available to you.

Be sure to know the rules your bookmaker has regarding soccer wagering before you making any bets. For example, some bookmakers may only accept wagers on matches in regulation time. Any overtime or shootout might not count in the wager.

Anyone who has watched a soccer match knows scoring goals is very difficult. When handicapping soccer, the best soccer tips we can give is to consider which team has an advantage in attacking and scoring skill. A single goal can decide a soccer match, so it makes sense to understand the individual matchups and find the team with the advantage offensively.

In North American MLS, South American and European soccer matches, home-field advantage can play a big role. Study the historical statistics, as some soccer clubs really struggle away from their home stadiums or are really dominant when at home. In addition, some clubs are more apt to try to play conservatively and work toward a draw when playing on the road. Study the history of some teams to see whether they like to play for the tie on the road.

Finally, with so many professional soccer clubs available, it may be beneficial for you to focus on a few different leagues when handicapping soccer. Rather than try to follow a dozen or more leagues, know those three or four leagues inside and outside to help your soccer predictions.
