The full-back tells you where the danger lives

Watch where the full-back stands when his team has the ball. If he is high and wide, the space behind him is exposed. The opposing winger knows it. The centre-back knows it. The only question is whether the pass arrives.

That space is not a risk. It is an invitation. A good team will try to exploit it. A disciplined bettor notices which full-back is caught forward and whether the covering midfielder is actually covering.

One visible detail changes the read. If the full-back is too high and the winger stays deep, that side is vulnerable to a switch. If the full-back tucks in narrow, the cross comes from outside. Both are patterns you can price.

Keep the stake small until you see the full-back position twice.
