Football Betting Thread 10/11

I think I'm going to bet in play tonight for a change. See how the rhythm of the game is going and go with my instincts. Made the mistake with not going with my instinct in Wigan game with United to score next goal when 1-0 up and Rooney not to score next goal when Hernandez came off 3-0 up. Also had a really good feeling that West Brom were going to nick a goal last night and didn't bet on it.
 
My only hope for this season is liverpool finishing in the top 6. How shit is that!!!

Its been one of the worst on record for favourites. Ive nearly stopped backing teams to win this season. more value betting on goals/cards etc.
 
Shite 6 months for me aswell.

Was up about 450 quid at one point, just topping 100 now.
 
Arsenal to win 7/1 Arsenal to win 1-0 28/1:eek:, for all you optimists. I'm thinking 3-1/4-1/4-2 Barcelona. Will chuck a fiver on one.
 
Not alot of value tonight i must say. Ppower have Messi at 6/1 to score a hatrick!!!

Like the look of Iniesta first goal scorer at 13/1 with betfair. Might do the usual yellow and red cards bets. Must check out the ref's stats later on. Busquets and Song spring to mind without seeing the teams
 
Managed to get 1/2 on Barca to go through about half an hour into the game on Betfair :drool:.

How much?
 
I signed up to Betfair about two years ago but made a typo in my name when I signed up so they couldn't verify my age, and I haven't got round to sorting it out.

Ah, worth a shot. If William Hill don't offer betting on cards then they're a shitter company than I had them down as. For my money Paddy Power are the best of the traditional style bookies (as opposed to exchanges).

Had fiver each on 4-1 and 4-2 :@ they could have easily got another one. So close.
 
put 3 quid on 3-1 barca at 9-1.

(unfortunately, spread another ten quid on accumulators but still came out £17 on top. can nearly afford that castle now!)
 
I had 20 quid on a two leg multi: (150-1)

Barca 3-1 Arsenal
Donetsk 3-1 Roma

ONE feckING ROMA GOAL AWAY FROM 3K!

feck. :(

:lol:
 
You were bloody lucky to get the red card decision tonight, how much did you win?

Up about €385 since monday, which according to my betfair leaves me minus €40 for entire season thus far which Im quite surprised/happy at given the the last couple of months.

Not sure if he can play tonight but Van Bommell has to be of interest booking wise. PPower often give odds of a named player to get sent off. Might be worth a few quid at whats usually around 25/1.

Another bet worth considering in the 2nd leg of these matches is the keeper of the side thats leading to get booked, you'll get about 9/1 on betfair. Keepers regularly get punished for this in the last 16, quarters and semi finals.....

I thought I had it bad with 1 more goal from barca for £85 quid. I wouldn't have the cahonas to put that much on a game though. What's the biggest you ever won?
 
I've been nibbling with a plan of betting on over 1,5 goals for a couple of months now. It's been quite a success. Yes, you have to bet big to have a bigger return, but I find it to be relativity risk free. And a win is a win in my eyes. The price in the Spurs-Milan match is very nice taking into account that Spurs have shipped in 3 in both of their last two matches and sure as hell they won't be able to keep Milan at bay for 180 minutes. Adding to that, you always see themselves scoring in any match.

:lol: Yeah, very unlucky. Most I've ever won on a football game?

It would have been about, oh god, 10 years ago? I won nearing up to 17k on an 8 leg multi, not much of a fortune was put on the actual bet.

What have I lost though, over my life time? About the same :lol:

I guess it's pretty good to say I'm square at the age of 51, having had my first bet at 14. ;)

Borreillo must not be in your good books then :D

Twat, he is. :mad:
 
I've made a resolution that I'm not just going to bet for the sake of betting any more, from now on I'm only putting money down when I've got a real hunch something is going to happen, so far it's worked out much better than the days when I'd bet just because I fancied a bit of excitement.
 
We're evens for Saturday, which wouldn't be great but Fabregas has been ruled out, and RVP looked anything but fit vs Barca the other night.

I've just put a treble of

PSV v Rangers
Bangladesh v England (CWC)
United v Arsenal
@3.76 I think it was

Going by results of the bets I've put up on here before, I'd advise avoiding anything I back!
I was tempted by City 0-0 tonight, 7/1. Left it in the end though.
 
Give me all the info on the following League 1 games:

Brighton - Tranmere
Colchester - MK Dons
Bournemouth - So'ton
Charlton - Brentford

would be appreciated.
