rocket_scientist Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Selections were 1. Wolsfburg win+BTTS, 2. BTTS in Man City v Spurs, 3. BTTS in the Villa game, 4. Everton to win and then 5. metz to win The odds for those bets wouldn't have been far from 1. 11/4 2. 8/13 3. 8/11 4. 8/11 5. fuck knows If those were the exact odds, £500 would've turned into £9036.47 for the quad. What were the odds? And what was the cash out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 cash out is never value, an easy way for bookies to save some money. Do you still stand by this minijc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I've learned through experience that football is a gamble in August/September, in December/January and April/May. In the other months, either side of the deep winter fixtures pile and not the start and end of the season, predictability is much heightened. This should the best weekend of the season so far I reckon for profiting at their expense so I've staked the most amount. I've made 15 picks (including an evens + 2 x odds against) for this Saturday and Sunday and expect that 12 minimum will come in. I'll greet if Cottbus, Coleraine and Lausanne fail to win. Greuther Furth II would be nice too. If all four of them fail, I'll lose more money than the current value of our third car, my favourite driving machine I've ever had. Edit: Actually 17 picks. Stuck Liverpool and Chelsea on in a bet credit even though I wouldn't back them at them odds with my own money, so that was sloppy on my part.

Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hearts at 10/1 against the zombie club must be worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You would be as well wiping your arse with a fiver and flushing it down the crapper as sticking it on Hertz to beat sevco. A far better bet is a double on both Celtic and sevco to score 4 or more goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Agreed at 10/1 but if it was 33/1, I would stick on a bet. It's ALL about the value. I got PSG HT FT @ 4/6 tonight. I think that's brilliant value, as are some of my odds on aways this weekend and we know what they say about them. Although it took less than 10 minutes for Celtic to land last Sunday, bet365 paying out (in certain leagues) when your pick goes 2 up. Edit: But when bottom team Dijon get an equaliser in the 51st minute of the first half, 500/1 wouldn't have worked! It was 19-0 the last 4 meetings so they were due one. The first and last time this season I pick PSG. It swings in roundabouts. Cristiano made and converted a 96th min pen on Weds to land a treble after Lazio and Real Madrid got early pay outs.

Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Pochettino to be next Man Utd manager at 6/4 looks like a cert to me. Now he is available, Utd will boot Ole before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlogie_Granite Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It's ALL about the value. I got PSG HT FT @ 4/6 tonight. I think that's brilliant value Bookies don't make mistakes on the major teams because it's where most of their betting comes in, they'll usually be too short, the value is in the small teams where they've done little research. As you've just found. (this advice is free, next time I'll charge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you've just found. (this advice is free, next time I'll charge) It's not as simple as that. They make mistakes in the big games too. Example, 4/9 + 4/7 for HT/FT on Italy + Spain on Monday was giving money away, so me and my mate made a nice killing. Also, I jumped on Wycombe last night (for tonight's match) at 4/5, which was 8/13 first thing this morning, then 4/7, now 3/5. Even at 3/5 that's 25% less return that I got. I did notice that it was on the betfred coupon at 4/5 if you fancy? I was in a bookies shop for 5 minutes at lunchtime and realised it's the first time I'd seen the inside of one for 2 or 3 years. Must go more often. Bookies do make mistakes, every week but even though I pick up what I think is great value every week in the Germany regional leagues and lower Swiss/Austrian/Dutch leagues, it doesn't always work that way. Form gets thrown out of the window often. Look at Norwich before and after they beat Man C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
