THE BETTING THREAD

[Bill Oddie's Beard]

Got for a treble for Saturday of:

Poland @ 23/20
Romania @ 21/20
Norway @ 13/8

I think Norway at 13/8 is a great price considering how shit South Africa are.

Romania are a lay, their form is shocking and they're up against the group leaders.

[paultheroyal]

Some good deleting of posts tonight guys - well done. I wont name and shame tee hee!!

Interesting day really - collected on this one, I then lost it all and more laying unders in the Spain match, won most of it back with an extremely unwise back of Colombia overnight.

Today - laying Pietersen to be England's top run-scorer in the 4th ODI

Romainia balsed up my accy.

Been trying to prove to my mate i can turn £10 into £100 using a betting system, took me a month to get to £40 and lost the lost this weekend. 7 losers in a row

Why are you trying to do this?

If it worked wouldn't we all be doing it?

[bobbybottler]

The Korea match-up has the whiff of a 0-0 draw about it

Plenty of history of low scoring draws in this one....so.....back the attractively priced draw or back 0-0 + 1-1 or lay overs or perhaps lay unquoted....decisions decisions....perhaps back 0-0 and green out in-running.

Made my mind up and laid overs.

It can work, its just tedious.

What's the strategy then, if you don't mind me asking?

Just the same old covering your stake thing. start out with a tenner, and just try to win 50p from every bet. Say you lose 60p or whatever the stake was in the first bet then the next bet you place needs win £1.10. When you eventually win you'll be up 50p and you start again. My theory is that if you bet on the big 4 at home, barca, madrid and inter etc everytime, you're unlikely to lose 5 or 6 times in a row. When you've got enough you can start betting to win £1 everytime and so on. Starting again this weekend

That sounds a long winded way to try to win a few quid.

Surely it would be easier to pick out teams needing something from a game against a team who are either virtually relegated or who are mid table fodder.

In fact, i will start this this week, from £10, hopefully by the end of the season i will have got to the magical £100

Yeah the trouble is the start is the hardestbut because it doesn't take many losers before you can't cover yourself. Thats the reason people don't bother because it is long winded and tedious. But i'd say i've saved at least £100 on gambling since i was doing the system, i would have defo spunked more than a tenner on normal bets in the last few months if i wasn't doing this!

and as for betting on teams that have something to play for, you'll get better odds but you will probs get more losers.

Bet 1

Hearts @ home to Kilmarnock, have £10 waiting at 1.71 on BF

[bobbybottler]

Well fair enough but it sounds like a bit of a pain in the backside to be honest.

Wouldn't it be easier to back the draw prior to kick-off and just double your stake each time you lose?

PS Avoid Hearts, they're about as reliable as Manchester City.

[Tredder]

Too Late

[bobbybottler]

Too Late

Ah well, fair play, it's just that they're on my avoid list, along with about 128 other clubs.

[Tredder]

They should be too strong for Killie, Heart beat them 2-0 at their place earlier in the season, and the killies did lose to Inverness the other week whereas Hearts drew with Rangers last week.

[bobbybottler]

Hearts drew with Rangers last week.

that's not as strong an indicator of good form as it used to be

[boy1985]

Newcastle vs Chelsea , Chelsea @ 4/7

0.88p to win 0.50p
