rossi_1983 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 What's the betting for tomorrow? I had a 5-fold (Palace, Falkirk, Motherwell, Arsenal, Boro) but it was bust by Palace earlier, so needed a new bet to cover my Man City handicap bet Have gone for Middlesbro Arsenal Fulham The first 2 is the cover, and I added Fulham for some value, as they are the form team and Portsmouth will hopefully have 1 eye on the cup final. My worry is that Portsmouth winning (and City losing) will bust my handicap and my treble, but I am struggling to see a better bet than Fulham If Arsenal win, and Boro only draw, then my handicap is also bust (today's coupon was supposed to roll over to tomorrow, so I could then do a bet on Arsenal win, Boro draw, but that plab failed) A Blackburn win and City failing to win would also bust it My cover is pretty skimpy! I had considered just laying Man City on Betfair, but at 3/1 it was gonna decimate any profits pretty quickly Ah, **** it, it wouldn't be gambling without a little risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've decided that i'm rubbish at betting and i'm going for a 2000/1 ?1 accumulator only. For now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing it safe...I like it Betfair have given me a free ?5 (No idea why, since I ain't used my account for ages), what should I put it on? I think I will use it to get a bit more cover, but I can't decide on wether it should be on Blackburn to win, or the Arsenal win, Boro draw double. I think the second is probably more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Macaroons Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 your free ?5 is because you havent used them for a while....a hook to start using them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Bearing in mind that i'm rubbish at betting these days, i quite like Watford at home for 2.4 (live on TV as well so you get to watch the game) and Arsenal away at Sunderland for 1.9.

cosanostra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Final tip, because it's the last day of the season and there are a fair few meaningless games, i think there may be some pre season friendly type, played at walking pace games that end in draws.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I honestly fancy Derby. I was talking about it last night with my mates, sure derby are 9/2 and Portsmouth are 5/2 at home! That may be my double today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think those two could be draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think those two could be draws. i've done them to draw along with Boro and Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be my double today! I was tempted by Derby too. Reading just can't score I fancy Fulham though. They are on good form, and Portsmouth just don't look interested since they reached the FA cup final. Their players are too scared they will get injured, so haven't been making any challenges! I think Redknapp will also make wholesale changes, as his first 11 for next week is basically set in stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Just did a ten bet accumulator predicting the result of every game in the premiership today. I've got quite a few draws and would get ?6k if it comes in. Have got another bet that a bit more realistic but every time I post them on JKB that are always naff so I'll hold off for now. If I'm back on here at some point tonight you'll know whether I won or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the last few results they are still absolute gash (not you Niemi ) Derby will win I think. It's sods law for Reading that the worst team in the Premiership history will relegate them!
