Q: Why are you guys betting on obscure matches/women’s teams/youth teams?
A1: The less info about the teams the bigger chance the bookies misprice the game
A2: Women’s teams are often mismatched and a lot of money can be earned from blowouts
A3: Youth teams often change entire squads between games, therefore previous results might be irrelevant and a team might be mispriced

Q: Why did my bet lose? It should have won?
A: Chances are you’re missing something; bookies don’t let bets lose for no reason. Check if the market you selected was 90 minutes only for example. If you had an in-play Asian Handicap bet, remember the score is reset to 0-0 for your bet.

>Asian handicaps
More difficult than ‘regular’ handicaps, using half bets. Examples:
>Team A +0 over Team B
Bet wins if A wins. Stake returned in case of a draw. Bet loses in case of a B win
>Team A -0.25 over Team B
Bet wins if A wins. Half the stake is lost in case of a draw. Full stake lost if B wins.
>Team A -0.5 over Team B
Bet wins if A wins. Bet loses in case of a draw or B wins.
>Team A -0.75 over Team B
Bet wins if A wins by 2 goals. Half the bet wins if A wins by 1 goal. Bet lost if draw or B win.
>Team A -1 over Team B
Bet wins if A wins by 2 goals. Stake refunded if A wins by 1 goal. Bet lost if draw or B win.

Works the other way around if the sign is positive. Check the Wikipedia page for detailed info.
