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.

One of the few days I have made profit(although fairly small)

 

Put on Newcastle +2.5 goals £5

Newcastle 2-0 £1

Newcastle 3-0 £1

as I was bored but none came in.

 

Then put a fiver on Newcastle to win the 41st throw at 5/6. £9.17 returns.

 

Also put a fiver on Benfica to win -6 handicap. So far they are winning 7-0 so as long as they don't lose a late goal I am going to get £11.50 returns.

 

So overall around £3.50 profit. Happy days.

Got a tenner on

Sunderland

Liverpool

Chelsea

 

£10 returns £30 and only liverpool winning atm doesn't look that good.

 

Also got 25p on

Ajax

Man U

Sunderland

Juventus

Man City

Blackburn

Barca

 

25p returns around about £18.95

So far three that are playing now are winning.

 

EDIT: Just need Ajax to beat some diddy team and I've won a 76/1 bet. :) Wish I put more than 25p on now.

Nice one for the top bet Andrew, comes in handy for your spending, tip for you aswell, stick to your wee bets while you are away, will see you alright if you are serious and look in to certs.

 

Leyton orient and Peterhead let me down for £151, kinda gutted as a Horse lost as well.

Bottom bet is looking good as well. If Man U hold on then just need Ajax and Juve for a pretty good profit on 25p.

Check out Amarillo Slim.

Done not too badly last couple of weeks.

 

Reckon I'm about £130 up for the season, just betting on weekend football.

 

Yesterday was £51 back for a tenner on Real Madrid, Notts County, Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow.

 

Looks like a future European Cup group!

Nice one Andy with your second line, and GD good betting, i am now £80 down for the season.

Now down to £120 up, Werder Bremen winning would have scooped me £80.

gone for Chelseahunwanks, Man Utd and Bayern all minus one goal. Treble comes in at just over 10/1.  Reckon United may fuck it up though.

Tenative prediction for Thursday night are as follows....Fulham (5/4), Sporting Lisbon (23/20), Valencia (13/10) AND HAPOEL TEL AVIV (8/5)!

 

Secondly...FC Copenhagen (7/4), Panathinaikos (5/4), Toulouse (6/5) and PSV Eindhoven (6/5). 

 

Don`t know whether I`ll do seperate Lucky 15`s or two £3 accumalators yet.

 

CL teatime teaser will be...Barcelona (6/4), AC Milan (19/10), Lyon (4/5) and Wolfsburg (4/5).

Sounds good to me, I've put on the same bet but Real in for Utd, pays just over 8/1

Fucking Chelsea!

 

This evening I'm taking over 2.5 goals in the Dynamo Kiev and Arsenal games, and Sevilla minus a goal. The treble pays 5.6/1

As an interest thing I usally have a fiver on each of the Freeview televised European games...you know single correct goalscorer and scoreline sort of stuff as the independant bookie doesn`t do....."football specials, dogs nor Irish racing."

 

Last night although I was unlucky with my player picks I predicted Everton would win 4-0 (don`t ask me where I came up with that one), however I only had 50p on at (22/1)!!! 

 

Did have a £1 e/w on Dirk Kuyt to score at (5/1) on Wednesday so only really made £7-8 over the two nights.  Don`t know why I bother!

Sevilla are 5/4 to beat the huns on Tuesday. That is a brilliant price, they thumped Athletic Bilbao 4-0 last night at San Mames.

They're yet to combat the awesome defensive power of Wattenacio though.

Dandy Man`s running at Newmarket 4.20 today and Underworld Dandy at Wolverhampton 6.15ish tonight.

 

Doing a wee e/w double with winnings I collected on William Van Gogh placed at 14`s and Christopher Wren third at 40`s!

Just on a side note, had a couple of quid on 4-1 @ 40/1

 

I love being a smug bastard  ;D

Did six 20p Lucky 15`s on the twenty four Europa Ties and had one down completely, two winners in two, three wins in another two and a four timer in another!

 

For my £18 I won £17.63 alone on Fulham (8/11), Fenerbache (5/6), Lazio (EVS) and Lille (6/4).

Bad form posting up your winnings after the event Lee!

 

do you only ever bet on the UEFA Cup or do you bet on league games too?

Anyone else do the Sky Sports soccer six's? Free to enter, then you've got a chance of winning up to 100K :thumbsup:

Bobby,

        I never try and influence anybody on my selections.  Yes I only ever bet on the European stuff I can`t think of a better thing to waste some money on.  I blame Theo Snelders for this.  His spell at The Dons got me into the continental scene big style.

 

  I was a little unlucky last night because in the three winners picks Galatasaray (1-1) let me down in one and FC Twente 0-0 in the other so I nearly had three of six up.  All in all only three of my teams lost Benfica, Villarreal and Politechnica Timosoara the culprits.
