This site definitely needs a regular betting section so here goes for a starter......

 

After last night's performance, Barcelona to win the Champions League 4/1.  They will take some stopping.

Apologies RS, was too bold with that call.

 

Got a couple of free bets so have put two trebles on for the golf today:

 

Grace to beat  B Watson

Cabrera Bello to beat Kodaira

Aphibarnrat to beat Reavie.  returns just under 30 quid

 

Pieters to beat Final

Fleetwood to beat Poulter

Oosthuizen to beat Duffner. returns 27 quid.

 

Neither likely to come in but I'm loaded with the flu so gives me more interest/something to shout at the tv about.

 

Here's a good treble for you today BB

 

Casey, Poulter and Oosthuizen to win their matches at combined odds of just over 4/1.  I'm going for one of Seabass' cheeky fivers on that. 

 

Betting on golf matchplay for a single bet even is like shooting into a barrel of fish. Anybody can beat anybody in this format, as Uihlein and others proved yesterday. My advice is NOT to bet on this format, not with any serious dough anyway.

So it's not like shooting fish in  barrel then?

I don't understand your post?

 

The only thing I am getting is that you may be trying to be a smart arse about something?

 

My apologies if I misinterpreted and that you were just going down the humour line, which also escaped me?

No apologies required nor due. It was a good pick at a good price.

 

I've found a couple of lovely nailed on teams for Saturday already. I got the same price for them as I got for Berliner AK 07 tonight, currently 2-0 up away from home, a team I'd never heard of and I lived in Deutschland for six years! Got KFC Uerdingen 05, another team I've never heard of, in a couple of trebles with them, 1-0 up already after 16 minutes 

 

My pick for Saturday will be Wigan away to Bury.

Tomorrow I'm going for a £5 double on Shrewsbury and Coventry.  Potential return for 2 home wins of £16.19.

£10 on it B.B.  Morton 1/3 & Wigan 7/10.

 

My mate picked Ayr for our double and I added Wigan and he picked Coventry for our Quad.

 

Lot of great minds thinking alike here 

£9.17 kitns

-35p us

 

2/3 picks bb & rs, 4/6 kitns, all 67%

 

kitns got lucky in that by picking two losers in the same bet, his doubles are 2/3 whereas ours are 1/3

 

Game on 

Just had a horse called 'Lower Hope Dandy' placed 3rd at Newbury!!!  Put £7.50 e/w on him priced (16/1). 

£10 on it B.B.  Morton 1/3 & Wigan 7/10.

 

My mate picked Ayr for our double and I added Wigan and he picked Coventry for our Quad.

Good day all round. Well done lads 

 

£20.36 kitns

£12.31 us

 

3/4 picks bb & rs, 6/8 kitns, all 75%

 

We are 50% doubles landed, you are 75%.

 

But it will be highly unlikely that you will finish ahead of us come May.

 

For reasons I could tell you right now, if it wasn't obvious already.

Friday and Saturday the next two for us BB.

 

Guffies Easter card gives good opportunities.

Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.

 

 

Wise words Doogie,i'm sure......just gies another hour or 4 to reflect on them

Nice one RS.

 

I shall have a look this week for Friday and Saturday.  Away this weekend in Verona so will try to get picks for both days at the same time. Shall be taking in Chievo v Sampdoria while I'm away, that's a game that's screaming out Over 2.5 given recent defensive difficulties for both but as I'll be there I'll stay away from betting on it.  Sure fire goalless draw coming up!

Got St Mirren and Raith Rovers in a double tomorrow. It returns 2.2 but only put a seventh of our balance (profit, playing with bookies money now) on it as we have already staked a good bet on a Friday double that is more nailed on, I feel so will be interested to see what you pick BB.

Giddy heights of the Vanarama National League North for me tonight. 

 

Going with a £5 double on Brackley Town to beat Boston United and Harrogate Town to win at home to Spennymoor.

 

Potential return of £13.46.

+£15.36 kitns

 

7/10 picks = 70%

 

3/5 doubles = 60%

 

Bobby, my mate and I are going Friday, Saturday and Sunday so see what you fancy.

 

Enjoy Verona. Been to Lake Garda and Milano and Torino to the west and Venezia to the east but never been to Verona so will be interested to hear your spiel. Long weekend? A part of the world you know? Love Italy.

Not much jumping out for me on Friday so I'd have to take Wigan again for me, this time at home to Oldham.

 

Saturday - Atalanta at home to Udinese. Udinese lost 5 on the spin and Atalanta should be doing better this season, have weirdly struggled at home but should still be strong enough to win this one.

 

Sunday - Like the look of Villarreal away to Malaga at better than Evens. Malaga are woeful and Villarreal are the sort of team who can grind out victories.

 

Thanks RS, never visited Verona before but been to a fair amount of Italy and loved it so looking forward to it. Just a couple of nights, heading out on Friday morning and back Sunday evening - going with old school mates, getting too hard for some of them to get more than 2 nights away from the wife and kids but will have a good laugh, and enjoy some cracking food and wine.

Lovely town.

 

Possibly my favourite in Italy.

 

 

Quote from a yank in the amphitheater about the state of the terraces

 

" Gee this wouldn't be allowed back home, why don't they fix it up?"

 

 

 

 

Just as well he never stood on the old ash terracing at Hampden.

Ha. We have a Cardiff Wigan double on ourselves and I love it. £10 on. £19.60 only back I'm afraid as both prices are now 2/5 whereas we got them both at 4/9 two or three days ago.

 

Saturday - Atalanta at home to Udinese. Udinese lost 5 on the spin and Atalanta should be doing better this season, have weirdly struggled at home but should still be strong enough to win this one.

 

Didn't see this one so will put £10 on it too, with Falkirk at home to Brechin (1/4) = £18.05 (Atalanta 4/9).

 

Sunday - Like the look of Villarreal away to Malaga at better than Evens. Malaga are woeful and Villarreal are the sort of team who can grind out victories.

 

Amazing coincidence. I put them on in a double with Atletico already. Another £10 at 2/9 and 23/20 = £26.28.

 

 

Enjoy northern Italy. Like it's possible not to 

 

And PM me your e-mail sometime. I'll show you our spreadsheet and a more comprehensive one that's been going for 3 months. It IS possible to beat the bookies ?

Just as well he never stood on the old ash terracing at Hampden.

 

If he was there in the late 70's for the Pomagne final v. the huns, I would've shoved him in the road of a fleein bottle just on principle, the principle being him being a greetin yank wank. 

Just for the record and out of interest, my mate went Schalke on Saturday and I stuck £70 on it with Falkirk so it's a big one for us. I'm already counting my Cardiff and his Wigan as a winner. He's not said re Sunday yet.

Tell ye what Bobby, if this works out between us until the rest of the season, I'm going to invite you to join us for a NOT - a Nailed On Treble - in August to start the 2018/19 season where we pick one each and make some good dough. Your picks are exactly the type of selections we go for. I knew this would work 

 

You will NEVER be asked for money as our goal is not to lose and I can afford to take the risk. It's the element of competition between us that makes it pay plus my selection of suitable partners of course! We started with nothing at the end of December but I'm suggesting we hold back £200 to start our 2018/19 NOD in August, the goal being £2.5k each at Xmas and the rest in May 2019.

Nice one RS, I'd be up for that.
