Football Betting

Are you just making this up.. ? No seriously... I'm calling bullshit on your bet.

I mean what odds did you get on the 3 teams.. because when I looked, arsenal were around 4/6, Chelsea were around 4/7 and city were around 1/6.  So a £5.20 treble on that would of returned a profit of less than £11.  Doesn't matter how you split your £5.20 with trixies and patents, the best possible return on those matches is from a treble.  You are lowering your odds using doubles, trixies and patents.. so your profit would be even worse.

The only thing I can think of is that somehow you got promotional type odds on the matches which you never mentioned, either that or you risked more than £5.20.. or you just made it all up 

[harv]

Whoops, had a look at my account and didn't have as much cash as I thought I had. Turns out that I only had one result out of the 3 because I put the money on Spurs instead of Chelski lmfao.

Normally with these bets I end up getting twice my money back if all 3 results come in and my money back through the doubles and trixie if just 2 come in.

Was still up thanks to Wigan winning luckily lol

City to beat arse is good value at 23/20 today I reckon

I'm not gonna moan if they don't win, but I've put a score on it

[jman]

Gonna be betting on every game at the world cup.. will only be small stakes and will only be doing W-D-W bets.. be interesting to see how much I can make/lose.  Anyone got any fancies for the WC (except Brazil of course) - Uruguay at 25-1 is quite tempting 


Separately I put a fiver on the Blackhawks to win the NHL playoffs at the start of it at 8/1 - They reached the semi's the other night.. and will be playing either the Ducks or LA Kings - I'm quietly confident since Boston and Penguins both got knocked off last night and they were the bookies favourites 

[jman]

Oooh just seen Paddy Power have got a special on top goalscorer on the World Cup -

Bet £20 on top goalscorer and get a free £5 bet everytime he scores    Starting at 7/1 (Messi) - that would be a pretty decent bet in itself considering the Argies have got a fairly easy group

[jman]

Well I've gone and put 20 big ones on Aguero as top goalscorer at the World Cup @ 14/1

£5 Free bet every time he scores..


Coral have got money back (as a free bet) on outright markets if Brazil or Argentina win it - not bad if you fancy sticking a large amount down on someone else.

England 6/5 not to qualify from the group on PP.. might have to give that a go! 

South American team to win it - 10/11 - rather tasty I think!!

___________________________________________________________________________________

NHL Playoffs - Blackhawks got knocked out in the semi's by LA Kings - utter shit.. how they lost that series I'll never know.

[ancelotti]

I stuck a tenner on Neymar last week at @ 14/1 and a couple of quid on Dzeko @ 80/1. 

[jman]

I've now stuck a fiver on Diego Costa as well.. well seeing as I have a bit of bias in him now - why not

I make it I'm just over £5.00 up on my daily £2 bets so far..  well worth doing!!!

Although I've been a bit unlucky with the Swiss result, they won it in the last 30 seconds of injury time.. and the Uruguay result pissed me off no end!  Quite happy to say that I got the others fairly wrong without it being too big a shock or a last minute decider

Wont be betting on MOM again.. MvB said they were doing a twitter campaign to sway the results.. and after Mikel got MOM in the Nigeria game at 7/1 (he played shit) - I kinda bought into it.. and went with Andre Ayew in the Ghana game.. I thought the odds were really shit at the time.. looks like the bookies cottoned on - Paddy Power didn't even list Ayew because of it

Anyway it didn't matter one bit because Dempsey was awarded MOM lol.. I think most of the bookies are stopping with the MOM market now after getting completely hammered for the past couple of days.

Done alright in Europe this week, along with a good few bets coming in on the CL this week.. I reinvested some of the profit across tonight's european games.

Had Fiorentina to beat spurs at evens and an accumulator - Fiorentina, Besiktas, Inter & Everton that looks like it's coming in at 14s  .

Got citeh and chelsea to win and west brom to draw at the weekend

[jman]

Well the banker bet was Chelsea to win - so the lost bets were cancelled out.

Right before the match I put £2.50 on Hazard to score first which obviously failed.. but £2.50 on 2-0 scoreline at 8/1 came in for another £20 profit...

Done well this week, up about £80

Getting in on Cheltenham action early.. Coral emailed me a Bet £10, Get £10 Free Bet at Cheltenham offer..

Although to be honest, the premier league matches are tough to choose from this week.  I went with a Chelsea win in the end.. I think the cup win on Sunday and the fact Citeh lost will really drive them on to win again...

Had a sneaky punt on Norwich to beat Wigan aswell.. Norwich 6 wins on the trot and Wigan second from bottom.. thought 4/7 was pretty good considering Norwich are at home too.

[jman]

Shouldn't of bloody bothered with Norwich.. lost a couple of quid overall, but gained a £10 free bet, so that's not bad.

I'm waiting until Monday until I put my bets on for Chelts, you always seem to get super special bets from some of the bookies on the morning of the races although I am tempted to get my money on Un De Sceaux now in the Arkle as he's a dead cert!

Arsenal to beat United at 19/10 has to be bet of the weekend on the footy though!
