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.

You're the one who said 20 quid was a big deal to you buddy!!

 

Either way, be cool and take as much of those bookie bastards as possible!  :thumbsup:

 

My record is really shit so far. For the last couple of Derbys, grand national and world cup/euros I think I've lost a tenner on each expect 2.

The last major tournament was my poorest ever, only made about £150. There are easy ways to make money at these tournaments. Give me a shout before South Africa 2010  ;)  Unless you are seriously studying the horses, stay well away as Jager says.

If there is money to be had I may do the same....

In case any of you are considering being utterly mental and putting money on us to win the Europa Cup, we're best priced 750/1.

 

Hertz are 500/1.  They'll be even money next season to win the CL...

So whose going to win Big Brother 10 if Halfwit doesn`t? I took Siavash at (10/1) to make the final three £2 e/w at the start of the show but would rather Dogface triumph now.  The (40/1) and (25/1) I saw qouted a few weeks back appear to have been lost prices because I`m convinced she`ll be in the top two after the way her confidence has grown since Kris left.  Rodrigo and her are a pretty funny duo at the minute.

I don't touch Big Brother, but what you doing for this week's European ties? Some alright prices about, The Dons are evens and so are Celtic, not bad for two home teams, although obviously it being the first competitive matches for both teams may have something to do with it.

Put a tenner on Aberdeen Celtic double. Epic fail

That is why Andrew, I never ever ever bet on Aberdeen  :hammer: I used to do it quite a bit but I never won.

Bobby Biscuit,

                  I had a £4 treble up on the Wednesday night with FC Copenhagen (1/2), Olympiakos (5/6) and Debrecen (8/5) netting me a tidy £28.60. 

 

I also had 25p e/w on Charlie Mulgrew at (20/1) just because the lass who took the bet had a wee fancy for him, as well as a £1 e/w on Lee Miller at (6/1) and a 3-0 Dons scoreline at (12/1).

 

Picks for this week I ain`t sure yet.

  • Author

well played Seabass, post your picks up when you've made them  :thumbsup:

My two trebles for the week are;  £2 Roll Up on Champions League, Panathinaikos (3/10), FC Copenhagen (11/8) and NK Maribor (6/4), then in the Europa League, £3 Roll Up on, Steaua Bucharest (10/11) (think they`re a smashing price might go daft on them singlely), Athletic Bilbao (13/10) and sadly Sigma Olomouc (4/7)

 

I think as a separate bet for Thursday I`m going to do a small stakes Lucky 15 on Roma (5/6), Fenerbache (10/11), PSV Eindhoven (4/5) and Club Bruges (8/11).   

Gary Caldwell to score the first against Dynamo tonight. Tenner on at 33/1.  :thumbsup:

Sorry just stuck a tenner on Aberdeen at 5/1. It's to hard to resist at those odds.

Anybody on my Thursday treble?  £3 stake returned £20.70.

No, i went on your wednesday treble which left me potless....

Selections for tonight are as follows....West Bromich Albion (4/5), Colchester United (10/11), Southampton (5/6) and Preston North End (1/2).

bet big on low odds - only chance you have of making any money.

It's punters that bet low on big odds that make the bookies their cash.

 

Next time Andrew - stick £100 on a team at 1/5.

 

Obviously - only if you can afford it. Otherwise - stick to £1 or £2 'five aways' on the fitba and definitely avoid the horses!

 

p.s. hope it's nae yer big brother or he'll kick yer bawz when he finds oot ye spunked some of the cash you owe him on a horse!  ;D

 

I would tend to agree with that, if you're actually interested in making 'serious' money via gambling. I tend to go for like 20/1+ first scorer bets which (obviously) very rarely come in. Think I will stop doing that now, and maybe just stick on a couple of hundred a couple of times a month on something evens or less...

Had £20 on Arsenal, Copenhagen and Wigan tonight... Wigan currently fucking things up for me for £120  :hammer:

BobbyBiscuit,

                  I know I didn`t put them up in time but I had Arsenal (EVS), VFB Stuttgart (EVS), Olympiakos (4/5) and FC Zurich (6/5) in another small stakes Lucky 15....don`t know why I bother!

 

If Everton (1/3) and Hamburg (4/6) win tonight I have them as well as FC Copenhagen (4/7) and Atletico Madrid (17/10) in a second Lucky 15.

 

Understand I ain`t making a lot but hey it pays for the following week`s bet.

 

I might put on Villareal (5/6), Fenerbache (4/5), Basle (10/11) and Shakthar Donetsk (6/5) if I can get to the bookies in time.

Having a few quid on the Dons this weekend. 6/4 seems very fair to me.

I've got a fiver on:

Hamilton Vs ABERDEEN

DUNDEE vs ict

St Mirren vs UTD

Portsmouth vs ARSENAL

MAN CITY vs wolves

(not sure if I have all the away/home teams correct but can't be bothered to check)

 

Returns £90. I still have as felling my losing streak is going to continue.

 

 

I put my first bet on yesterday. £4 on

 

Arsenal v Portsmouth

Man City v Wolves

Wigan v Man Utd

Celtic v St Johnstone

Hearts v Rangers

St Mirren v Dundee Utd

East Strirling v Elgin

 

Get all them correct and I'll get £57.44

Four for Thursday are as follows; Club Bruges (4/5), Ajax (10/11), Litex Lovech (10/11) and Heerenveen (10/11).

 

If you fancy a bit of a risk try Austria Vienna (6/5), Dinamo Zagreb (7/5), Lazio (5/4), Genoa (13/10), Athletic Bilbao (6/5), MSK Zilina (11/8) and Benfica (10/11) together.

Had a fiver on Newcastle, Arsenal and Spurs, all minus one goal. Geordie bastards.
