Crappy Anzhi beating Zenit even with a man down. And Maribor losing to some team I'm sure soccer 24 just made up. Can't bet with any confidence at all anymore. Let's see what Rangers do angainst newly promoted Livingston.
Not really a good start to the day really is it??

Not much to work with today. A few early accas:

1. Zenit St. Petersburg, Alashkert, Zeljeznicar, Slavia Prague or draw, Tallinna FC Flora, Maardu, Klaksvik, NSI Runavik, FC Astana, Aalesunds FK or draw, FCSB, Maribor, Olimpia Ljubljana @18.39

2. Livingston/Rangers >1.5, Dynamo Kiev, FC Copenhagen, AIK Stockholm, Krasnodar or draw, Osters or draw, Rikeka/Slaven Belupo >1.5, The New Saints, Mjallby AIF, Botev Plovdiv, @8.30

3. FC Zurich, Feyenoord, Palmeiras or draw, LASK Linz or draw, BATE Borisov 1+, Beroe or draw, Shenzhen FC, Paide, Antigua GFC, Chiangrai United, Dudelange @16.40

Will mix these around a bit for some long shot combos. You should be able to get some winners from that lot.
Where do you find time to research all these weird teams? Or do you go simply by odds (I’m guilty of that sometimes in football)?

You can't really go by the odds. Some sites offer baffling odds. Some leagues/teams are really unpredictable. Brazil, France, Japan and England are some of the worst by far. You really have to do the 'research' but it's something I enjoy doing anyway. It does take a lot of time. I love looking at NCAAB too. That being said, if picking winners was that easy, we'd all be millionaires. There's always a banker every day that screws you over.

Leverkusen-Dortmund was a great game for me yesterday. Called both Leverkusen goals (I bet on teams to score within ten minute periods e.g. 1-10 minutes and Leverkusen scored in 9th and 39th minute) and from those winnings put 30 quid on Dortmind to win when they got it back to 2-1.

Only thing I missed was them scoring a fourth when Leverkusen had that late corner and they sent the keeper up (I actually did that with Berlin on Friday when Neuer was playing striker last few minutes).

Shame these sort of games only happen 2-3 times a season (or I'm down the pub when they happen in the premier league :lol:)

Big respect for dedication. Occasionally I will have a small stake coupon where I just select random 1.20-1.50 bets and put them together. I’ve won these a few times but never anything big.

Surprise, surprise, after causing me to not win £2k on an otherwise amazing bet last week when they beat Athletic at their ground Villarreal lose to Valladolid at home.

Few bets in UEFA Youth League. I can't get on them as no bookie accounts. Prices will be gone by tomorrow (think Red Star is already)

PSV 0 Med, Red Star +2.5 Large, Benfica -1.25 med. Hamilton Academicals +2.5 med. Liverpool -0.5 small/med.

All will drop a lot. PSV will go below evens for Win. Benfica probably go to 1/6. Red star probably kick off about 6/4 for Double chance.

Had a Billy Hill £10 free bet offer to use by midnight last night so stuck it on an overnight acca with:

Racing Club, DC United/Montreal >1.5, Emelec or draw, Cerro Porteno, LA Galaxy/Vancouver >1.5, Boca Juniors @7.10
Thank you Boca. Another nice easy acca win. Let's keep that run going.

A nice 10/1 winner in the NFL last night of Packers, Pats, Jags, Chargers, Vikings (+10.5) and Raiders to win by 1-13 points. Raiders and Chargers made me sweat a little but glad they came in. It's a good job the Browns don't know how to close out games!

Was debating sticking a lump on Bournemouth, they’ve been great. Didn’t bother in the end.

Union Berlin caught my eyes. Away, 15/8 to Ingolstadt. It was something like 0 - 8 in shots and 0-4 in corners by 10th min so stuck £100 on. 0-1 after 40 mins due to a penalty. Going to keep an eye on it and might jump on goals in play for Bournemouth game if the pace continues.

Not massive in German leagues by any stretch but the table and form suggests Berlin were good value.

Hopefully someone managed on something, unlikely though.


Ajax u19 Draw no bet at 1.8+ worth a small bet for tomorrow. Think their win price will drop to around evens. Bayern sold Wintzheimer, who was the best talent. Their defence is incredibly poor and Ajax attack is very good. Price will drop about 9am tomorrow.

0-2, £287.50, took £275 cash out to be able to chill about it.

Pescara Italy Serie B should have kicked off tonight but hasn’t. They’re 2nd after 5 games playing away to Padova near bottom and are 9/4.

Good cash out, 2-1 now. Sweat would have been on

I need to pay more attention but also understand these decimal odds etc. You obviously see things I don’t in the markets. I’m going to check them out now to see what movement there has been.

Bayern opened about 19/20 to win (which was massively wrong). They’ve drifted to around 7/5 and tomorrow they should drift to 2/1ish, with Ajax going to about 1/1.

It’s hard to explain exactly why the odds are wrong as it’s just my opinion (but I know my opinion will be shared tomorrow by other gamblers when Asia prices it, hence the odds drops)

Hahaha saying that I really like Chiefs tonight, Keenum just isn't a good qb and I don't see how they keep up with the Chiefs. I might give up on NFL betting if i lose this one.

Newbies 15/16 FPL Champion.
Got first 3 teams in a 6 time acca up over weekend (Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves). Waiting on Man City, Juve and Atletico for nearly 500 dollars back from a 55 dollar stake, good shot.

Bayern 2/1
Ajax 10/11

You've officially sparked my interest.

What's the deal/arguments with Newport?

Edit: I see Macclesfield are terrible, and also have some amount of players out - Sounds like a good shout

Man City, Juventus vs Young Boys under 4.5 goals, Benfica Double chance, Roma, Lyon double chance, Man Utd/Valencia over 1.5, Aston Villa Double chance, Leeds double chance, Middlesborough double chance, Stoke.

All low odds, but a 4/5 fold brings the odds up to a reasonable level.

Should be some easy matchups today. Wonder where the feckups will be today? Think there could be another slip up with City and will avoid United. AEK/Benfica also close to call.

Should be a lot of winners tonight though.

Rather you than me :lol:

Valencia will smell blood and come at us IMO, definitely got enough quality.
It'll be one of those games where everyone expects United to lose then they'll go on to win 3-0... That's what I hope for at least :lol:
