    The Championship IMO, crazy prices frequently, although it's tough to call (like all I suppose) it's a very good league to bet on.

    i will look into the championship, i dont mind things being tough to call as long as teams are overpriced and hopefully it will pay off in the long run

    I bet every week on the Eircom premier league. I only bet on overs though as it can be a hard league to call results wise but for overs well over 50% of the matches end up in overs which suits me great.

    La Liga for me. Good markets ont he handicaps for the big two and a lot of bookies retain the 'name' odds which distort the market in favour of those who follow the league.

    The more obscure the league the more value you will find if you put in the effort.

    I don't know about division 1 but in the premiership this season it's 46.27% of matches that go over 2.5 gls.

    The league which you feel you have the 'edge' over the bookie.

    Well recently anyways there has been a huge amount of goals. Out of the last 40 games played there has been 22 games which has had overs, this adds up to 55%. But I find it to be relatively easy to read which games are going to be overs.

    What are overs?

    Over 2.5 goals (3 goals or more) in a match :)

    South America can be very lucrative, especially the intercontinental competitions (Libertadores, Sudamericano) and some of the minor leagues (ie not Brazil or Argentina.)
    Also Estonian Meistraliga, the Allsvenskan, the Finnish 2nd division, Irish League (up North) and the Blue Square regionals.
    They're all leagues I like.

    Overs seem to be common enough these days especially in La Liga when the likes of Atletico Madrid play as they cant defend for sh1t and love to attack.

    Odds compilers are generally terrible at pricing up La Liga. Stay away from win draw win in the prem for the most part.
