The Betting Thread

Ante-post prices for the SPL and the English leagues have been released. Celtic are odds on to win the SPL, Man Utd are favourites for the EPL at 5/4.  QPR are favourites for the Championship at 6/1 and Leeds are ridiculously short priced for League One at 3/1.

 

Do any of you ever put anything on League Champions or Relegated teams at the start of the season?

 

Mods - any chance of getting this as a sticky, so we can see what selections people are taking throughout the season? Cheers.

I did a 50p Lucky 15 Bobby.  Knew I shouldn`t have went against Lech Poznan considering their place in our European history!  And as for Valencia they were through so a chance to lie down to somebody was there.

 

Just as well I had a tenner on Coppenhagen to win their must win match in Belgium then eh?  £4 at (11/4) with my local bookies and £6 at (11/5) over in Ladbrokes following my correct goalscorer prediction on Saturday against Falkirk.

 

Actually waiting on Benfica to complete my 20p Lucky 15 with Deportivo La Coruna, Hamburg and Portsmouth already up.  I know it`s peanuts but hey every little bit helps!

 

Unlucky Lee!

As one or two of you will know.. I was ever so slightly upset yesterday. On my coupon was aberdeen, st mirren, dunfermline, east fife and aston villa.

 

£5 would have returned £383.. and fuckin dunfermline fuck my coupon >:( >:(

I'd have paid to get a copy of the voicemail you left for dunfermline!! :thumbsup:

Mr Bass,

 

I had a treble come up this morning.

 

Lyon, Inter and Man Utd.

 

My simple tenner stake returned £40.

 

Any luck this weekend old bean?

 

Yours richer,

Dunfermline fucked mine too. Cunts.

GD,

    I had a 20p  European Lucky 15 come up for me which returned £12.88 for my £3...why do I bother!

 

  Barcelona (4/5), Fenerbache (4/6), Panathinaikos (4/7) and Atletico Madrid (11/10) were the four away sides that triumphed.

Mr Bass,

 

The best part of a tenners profit is nothing to be sniffed at. Any picks for this week?

 

GD

Not really had a look.

I've stuck £2 on:

 

Man Utd

Chelsea

Tottenham

Liverpool

Preston

Reading

Oldham

Dundee Utd

Made a prediction for the Hearts game to Dave McDermid that we`d win 1-0 and Lee Miller would score the winner and couldn`t put it on as no buses went to Berwick-upon-Tweed in time!

I had Aberdeen, St. J and East Stirling.

 

East Stirling game was called off but still got £40 back.

You should throw the book at them.

Aberdeen are at a very tempting 21/20 with Hills.  I know we've got concerns over flu victims, but we're defending well and we should still have enough to deal with Accies...shouldn't we?

  • 3 weeks later...

Coventry City (21/20), Birmingham City (10/11), Oldham Athletic (Evs) and Wycombe Wanderers (6/5) are my four for tomorrow.

 

Very unlucky with a £1 Lucky 15 last weekend with three out of four up with Atletico Madrid (6/5) letting me down.  Those that won me £26.90 were Heerenveen (Evs), Bordeaux (11/10) and Roma (Evs).

In the Birmingham v Wolves game tonight (2 top sides in the Championship) I think I might have a fiver each on the following:

 

Liam Ridgwell 1st goalscorer (40/1, Betfred)

 

Frank Queudrue 1st goalscorer (50/1, Betfred)

 

When games are tight/important like this one, I ususally have the odd fiver on a big centre back that can come forward at corners and get a header in at goal. Quedrue also takes free kicks and the odd penalty.

That's disgraceful. Everyone on this site knows that strikers should be taking the penalties ;)

It's only odd penalties he's hitting though, so that's ok...

I doubled my money at the weekend thanks to late Man U and AC Milan goals in a treble with Celtic.

Get yourselves on Marseille, PSG, Udinese and Man City all to win.  Niang, Horau, Robinho and Di Natale as anytime scorers.  Think all games will be close so opt for a 1-0 or 2-1 singles/doubles/treble/accumalator which ever score you fancy.

Aren't PSG losing 2-0 already?

3-0 now, 12 mins to go!  :o

Can't see them pulling off a shocker there then ;) Tbh, I can't see City turning this around either, as much as I would like them to for Hughes.  :-\

MANC,

        Totally forgot the PSG game was an early kick-off!

Possibly a good bet tonight in the Spanish games. Osasuna are 3/1 (Paddy Power) to beat Barca who are putting out a second string side.  Osasuna, i believe, have to win to get out the relegation zone.  May well be worth a punt, but then again...
