    I look over the stats, trends, recent games, and news/injuries for each game.

    With the major American sports I fade a select few that post on this and similar forums, very successfully. It is a lot more profitable to fade a 45 % bettor than try to hit 55% yourself.

    With soccer I enjoy it though so I spend all week watching preview shows, reading up on team websites and watching injury reports (hitting about 63%).

    I have no idea if my method is successful since I am quite new to handicapping and only began tracking at the end of Feb so sample size is small.

    Model that does everything for me.

    4 seasons of backtesting and 3 seasons of actual performance.
