THE BETTING THREAD

[jd82]

had a little foray into Betfair for the first time since the Euros at the weekend.. One result short on a 50/1 8-fold.

Only just posting now as I completely forgot I'd put it on so have only just had the disappointment.

This is obviously a kiss of death, but Reading 23/20 to beat Barnsley looks MASSIVE. 7/2 -1.

[Winston Biscuit]

3rd place Swindon 11/8 at home to beat 18th place Rochdale on Skybet. A good one to push up the acca odds.

Hudds, 'ding, Swindon

9/1

[URZZZZ]

3rd place Swindon 11/8 at home to beat 18th place Rochdale on Skybet. A good one to push up the acca odds.

In fairness, Rochdale do have the best midfielder in the division

Leicester at 5/2 may be worth something with Maguire and Varane both out but then (A) - Leicester are in really poor form and (B) - United haven’t lost an away league game since 1st January 2020, nearly two years ago

Similarly Plymouth being 3/1 to win at Oxford doesn’t seem bad odds considering Plymouth are top of the table

[URZZZZ]

Couple of other things spotted, City’s last four home games against Burnley have been 5-0, 5-0, 5-0 and 5-0. Odds at 14/1 doesn’t seem too far fetched

Millwall and Luton are our two draw specialists in the league so odds of 23/10 may turn out a winner

I've been getting into sports betting big time in the last 12 months. I'm convinced you can make good money on it. Why do I think that. A couple of times I've started off with a tenner and managed to grow my betting account to around £900 the first time and then £2000 the second time before blowing it all up through total stupidity.

This time, I want to try and do it all again and eliminate the stupidity and actually withdraw the money before I lose it all.

This season I started with £100 in Bet365 and so far I'm up to £115. And I put £100 into Betfair and am currently down to £60.

I've had a mixed bag of results lately. I laid off Portland Timbers in their game against LA Galaxy to take £25 profit. But then I lost £16 when I laid off the New York Red Bulls who thrashed New York City last night. I also laid off Gremio against Sao Paolo but they won losing me a bit more.

I seem to have done well betting on Baseball on bet365. Which is why that account is up. I correctly backed the Orioles to beat the Indians which they did and the Giants to deal with the Yankees which they also did.

At the moment I'm betting on the MLS, the Brasilian Serie A and the Chinese Super League as they are the leagues open at the moment. The Iran Pro League starts today, so I may place a bet there. Then when the season starts I'll be betting on any leagues that I know anything about and can get some coverage on.

Anyone who can give me a few tips. I would appreciate.

I was watching a bit of Shandong Lunengs game against Shanghai Shenhua the other day. Luneng is the team that PElle has joined. I was going to back Shenhua at 4.5/1 but then their price dropped to 4s and I was waiting for the price to come back to 4.5 before placing my bet. Then Shenhua took the lead and I missed the opportunity to win some money. I'm going to try not to be such a greedy bast*rd next time around.

Today Tractor Sazi kick off their Iran Pro league campaign against the reining champions Esteghlal Khuzestan. Tractor are the favourites at 1.85 and the champions are priced out at 4.5. Surely backing the champions in their first game of the season at 4.5 looks a good idea.
I don't know what the story is over there. Maybe they sold their best striker or something during the off season. I will watch the first 15 minutes and then decide whether to make a bet.

Rangers are in action tonight but at 1.12 it's not worth the risk. Stranraer aint gonna win so that might be best to leave alone.

Anyone got any betting ideas for today's fixtures?

This was the start of it all. It all went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY downhill from there.

Do you still bet Top Flight?

Why did you back Dortmund against Bayern?

I probably shouldn't have bet against Bayern. Tell me what I did wrong here.

You bet against Bayern.

Should have followed my own advice, all three things stood true!
