Marcus Campbell

I'm Marcus Campbell, and for the past two years I've been writing about football betting with goal markets as my main focus. My route in wasn't unusual. I watched a lot of football, kept a notebook of my own bets, and after a while noticed I was drawn to certain patterns more than others. Goals kept pulling me back, particularly the question of how often both teams end up on the scoresheet. BTTS is where most of my writing lives, mainly because it tends to reward people who do the homework rather than chase a hunch. I look at things like defensive shape, what full-backs are doing in build-up, how a side reacts when they're behind, who's between the sticks and how sharp they've been, and whether a team is running on fumes from a packed schedule. I'm not pretending I've cracked it. There are weekends when everything I expected goes out the window in the first twenty minutes, and that comes with the territory. What I try to do is show my working, so readers can weigh it up on their own terms. I write for Fixed Matches Free, and the idea is simple: give honest, thought-through takes on BTTS without overselling them. They're opinions, not certainties. Use them as a place to start, not a shortcut.
