Dribbling is the act of getting past an opponent by any means<\/strong>. Be it blistering pace or an elaborate routine; most football fans truly fall in love with the sport when they watch wizards on the ball.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n Betting on Dribbles\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n You may be thinking: what's the point of researching a statistic I can't bet on? And that's a fair question. As yet, there are no markets for betting on dribbles<\/strong>, but dribbling stats can provide useful additional information that leads to a better-informed bet.<\/p>\n\n
\n This is certainly the case when using football statistics<\/a> to predict a number of different possible outcomes, including tackles, free kicks, assists, and goals<\/strong> that you can actually bet on. We'll go into more detail about the best ways to use dribbling stats later on in this article.<\/p>\n\n
Useful Ways To Use Player Dribble Stats<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Dribbling stats are a good indicator of a number of things \u2014 if you know what to look for. Below are the best ways to use the stats table to give yourself an extra edge in your betting.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Betting on Tackles<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Betting on tackles is a rather niche player market and is only offered in the top leagues and competitions, such as the Premier League and Champions League<\/strong>. Defensive players usually make the most tackles, and if they\u2019re up against a tricky dribbler, they may be forced to make even more. We recommend live betting as it gives you a better idea of who a dribbler is targeting. Our fouls stats page<\/strong><\/a> will also help you here.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n
\n
Betting on Freekicks<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n A good free kick can be the difference between a win and a draw, and some teams take advantage of it much more than others. Teams like Southampton will look to get tackled near the penalty area to give Ward-Prowse the chance to swing home a winner. Teams with strong dribblers are more likely to be tackled, which means teams and players will make more tackles \u2014 leading to more freekicks.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Betting on Cards<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Following the same thought process for tackles and freekicks, if a defender is constantly caught off guard by a pacey winger, he's forced to commit more tackles and fouls, possibly resulting in a card.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Betting on Assists<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Most of the best dribblers are among their team\u2019s most important offensive forces, in many cases also providing an assist and occasionally scoring a goal. Teams that have an outstanding dribbler are likely to rely on that player to produce the goods, thus leading to more assists. Assist stats<\/strong><\/a> are key to betting on assists, but dribbling stats will definitely benefit you.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n
\n
Betting on Goals<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Probably the most difficult thing to predict just from dribbling statistics. This follows the same principle that dribbling is an important part of a team\u2019s attacking phase and, hopefully, grabbing a goal every now and then. You have a much better chance of making more accurate predictions if you look at our goalscorer stats page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Dribbling Records<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Dribbling as a statistic is a fairly modern phenomenon, and Opta was the first company to start officially tracking the stat in 2006. Since then, dribbling statistics have been an added string to a punter's betting bow.<\/p>\n\n

\n Winning fouls\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n An important but often underrated part of dribbling is the ability to win fouls in dangerous areas that may lead to a goal. If you look at the most fouled players in history, it is clear that all of these are among the best dribblers of their time.<\/p>\n\n

\n The History of Dribbling\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Dribbling has been a part of sports even before the creation of football. The expressive nature of the sport has allowed players to move freely across the pitch, occasionally creating a piece of magic.<\/p>\n\n
\n Over the decades, there have been some amazing formations and teams that have produced amazing dribblers and dribbling styles. Let's take a look at the most notable teams that have brought dribbling to the fore.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
The Austrian Wunderteam – 1930s<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n One of the greatest sides to have never won a World Cup, the Austrians are considered to be the fathers of total football<\/strong> with some excellent dribblers. Matthias Sindelar, known as Der Papierene (The Papery Man)<\/strong>, was slim but quick, frequently drifting past opponents with ease.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
The Magical Magyars – 1950s<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Another one of the greatest sides ever assembled, the Hungarian national team was one to be feared. It's considered the first team to successfully implement a form of total football, with players like Ferenc Pusk\u00e1s and N\u00e1ndor Hidegkuti<\/strong> at the helm. Between 1950 and 1956, the majestic group dribbling machines played 69 matches, losing only once. The 1954 World Cup final turned out to be their most important game, which became known as the Miracle of Burn.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Total Football – Netherlands, Ajax and Barcelona 1970s, 80s and 90s<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Perhaps the greatest sporting revolution in history, total football was perfected in the Netherlands by star player Johan Cruyff and Dutch coach Rinus Michels<\/strong>. Considered the ultimate, free form of football, many players were proficient dribblers, and became the dominant force in Europe. Ajax and Barcelona won several Champions Leagues at club level, and the Netherlands lost two World Cup finals in a row. The influence of the style is still felt to this day, with Tiki Taka being a modern form of total football.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Ginga Football, Samba Soccer – Brazil 1960s onwards<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n The greatest football nation in history \u2014 Brazil<\/strong> \u2014 is an absolute machine for producing players who are designed to be ball artists. Thanks to names like Pel\u00e9, Garrincha, Nilton Santos and many others, Brazil has won five World Cups, three of which came in four attempts.Other notable inclusions for Brazil include S\u00f3crates and Zico in the 1980s and Ronaldinho and Ronaldo in the 1990s and 2000s.More recently, Neymar has kept the Ginga style alive, while many other managers have adopted a more structured style of football.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
