Say What Again Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Bad news for the Marseille backers tonight. Yep, I'm on. I shouldn't jinx any other teams though as my bets are a very random mix tonight (inc handicaps, under/over, win to nil - from CL, Scotland & Poland). Anyway, reassuring to see I am not alone after PO's full mortage job which managed 0 correct. I feel your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never put it on in the end thankfully because I couldn't be arsed heading to the bookies once I heard on Sky Sports News that Napoli were unbeaten in their last 10 home European games. The Champions League groups are a bit of a minefield really, you're best doing both teams to score etc for it. Edited November 23, 2011 by Problem Officer?

I shouldn't jinx any other teams though as my bets are a very random mix tonight (inc handicaps, under/over, win to nil - from CL, Scotland & Poland). Oh FFS, I don't believe this. Tried a new tactic and didn't post the others on the thread. Under 2.5 goals Zenit game finished 0-0 Legia Warsaw (-1) won 3-0 Celtic to win to nil - currently 2-0 with 5 mins to go. The one I did post on the fecking thread has just gone 0-1 down. I'm getting sick of this. EDIT: Don't feel quite as bad now, Dunfermline have scored too. Hopefully they get another.

Problem Officer? Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Dortmund will not beat Arsenal, I'll tell you that right now. They beat Bayern away at the weekend. They have a good side and are desperate for points, even though Arsenal have picked up a lot of points recently they still seem very vulnerable to me. I'm not sure whether I'll back Dortmund or not but I definitely won't be backing Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problem Officer? Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Chelsea are definitely the team I wouldn't have been backing tonight out of the two English clubs, purely going by Arsenal's great form at the moment (or Robin van Persie's form ) and Chelsea's bad form.

I do it because it makes the fixtures more exciting when you have something riding on it, especially most weeks when Hearts are away - you can just chill and watch Gillette Soccer Saturday - and if you win some money then it's even better. I try hard to never spend more than ?10 per week in the bookies, though. Edited November 23, 2011 by Problem Officer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same, but even tighter, I deposit a tenner a month, and that's me...so even if I win nothing, I get my money's worth through the excitement I think.

Statto Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Cardiff City to beat Blackburn in the Carling Cup next mid-week in Cardiff is 8/5. Liverpool to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the same night is 17/4. (13/1 double) Manchester City to beat Liverpool this weekend has drifted to 13/8 (from 7/5), likely due to their Champions League loss midweek. I still really fancy Man City to continue their run of domestic victories, since their 2-2 draw with Fulham in September, they have won all 9 of their Premier League or Carling Cup matches. A final tip for this weekend, Cheltenham Town are 11/4 to win at Oxford (8/11 Cheltenham or draw is a good price for accumulator bets) Cheltenham are currently 3rd in League two, they have won 7 of their last 8 league fixtures. Away from home, they are currently on a 6 game winning streak in all competitions. Oxford are 9th, they have lost their last 4 matches, their last wins came at the end of October beating mid-table Port Vale 2-1 and bottom of the table Plymouth 5-1, both at home. Oxford DO have a very strong home record, but recent form suggests they could be struggling at the moment. Almost 3/1 is a big price IMO.

I still really fancy Man City to continue their run of domestic victories, since their 2-2 draw with Fulham in September, they have won all 9 of their Premier League or Carling Cup matches. I will be all over this like a rash. Liverpool mugged Chelsea on Sunday and what I saw of the game after my work, I thought they looked pretty poor. 13/8 ia a stonking bet. On a sadder note - will I ever get my goal fest bet up. All 5 games up on Saturday, Stoke v QPR, Birmingham v Peterborough, Nott'm Forest v Ipswich, Reading v Cardiff & Tranmere v Sheff Wed. Waiting on Leicester v Crystal Palace on Sunday score 3-0 Leicester. Gutted, it paid 30/1. Not the first time one team has let me down on this bet, Ahhh! To make matters worse, I only normally do 5 games; not sure why I did 6 games on Saturday before going up to Dundee, must have been in a hurry. Doh!

I live in Cheltenham and have been to about 5 of their games this season. They're a genuinely decent side for the level they play at.

naeclue Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I couldn't see any decent, stand-out bets, so I've just gone for something stupid: Stoke v Blackburn Man United v Newcastle Norwich v QPR Pays out about a billion to one, but then you'd expect it to. Am hoping that Stoke's form continues to be poor, and Blackburn get the win they've been threatening to, Man U are hungover from Euro performance, struggling for goals a little, so a sneaky 1-0 for the Geordies, and QPR on a reasonable run of form, but of course so are Norwich.... 3 doubles, one treble, bye bye 20 quid....

Problem Officer? Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I'm absolutely . At the game, going by the scores at the time when my mate checked I was sure my five-fold coupon was completely humped. Then when I checked the BBC when I got in I found out that Spurs, Cardiff, Notts County, and Swindon had all won in the end. But Gillingham drew at home to Bradford who are completely woeful. One game from five when I don't usually put more than four teams on has done me out of almost ?100 from a fiver - which would have been my third winning bet in a row and put me up about ?200 for the season. :seething: Edited November 26, 2011 by Problem Officer?

Statto Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 What do we think? I'm looking at ?1800 if Man City win, I'm thinking of backing Liverpool/draw to guarantee some sort of return if Man City fail to win. Liverpool 13/8 Draw 12/5 Liverpool/draw double chance 11/20 The double chance odds are quite short so you'd have to place a large percentage of your potential returns to guarantee a decent chunk back. I don't think City will get beaten today, backing the draw on it's own is a risk if City do lose, you also lose what you've placed on the draw. By betting an additional 62% on Liverpool, it covers the loss on the draw bet if Liverpool win. Eg. ?100 on the draw, ?62 on Liverpool. ?2.75 profit if Liverpool win. ?178 profit if it's a draw. ?1,662.16 profit if Man City win. (*profit excluding original stakes) I'm actually better placing ?105 on Liverpool/draw (returns ?162.75) and ?57 on the draw (returns ?193.80), If Liverpool win = ?0.75 If it's a draw = ?194.55 If Man City win = ?1,662.16 Couple of pounds less for Liverpool, ?16.55 more from the draw doing it this way. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a single on Man City weeks ago and I've got 2 accumulators rolling over from yesterday (one ?10 - 60/1, the other ?30 - 27/1). ?80 would cover the 2 accumulators (?44). I don't see the point in laying for the full amount because I'd effectively be betting against my original single bet. I might just do this and possibly have a bet in-play if Man City are a goal up with 20-30 minutes to go. I'd hate for a killer-goal late on. Cheers for the advice!
