I always go for something completely safe for the qualifying bet , say over 0.5 goals or below 7.5 goals

Thinking of a 3-1 scoreline in-play. Undecided who in favour of though??? These teams are so unpredictable and results could go either way.

Both teams have goals and are suspect at the back. Not the worst 8/1, especially when using a free bet.

Now watch it be 0-0 :wenger:

Edit - landed in both games in 2016, not in either game in 2017 though.
If only Arsenal turned up first half!

Put my free bet on Firmino to score.

Bet on Real Madrid beating Barcelona;

1. Catalonia VS rest of Spain... The Government needs Real Madrid to win this match --> Government influencing the outcome of the game.
2. Real Madrid must win to keep some level of excitement for the title --> La Liga benefits from having a close title race, thus, Real Madrid will win.

Someone explain to me why odds in championship/league one are usually so high?

Like today Cardiff/Bristol/Derby/Shrewsbury/Blackburn/Bradford type of teams are valued at around 2 or a bit higher. Just looking at the table it would seem that they'd win more than 50% of the time the games would be played...
I am quite new to betting in general, so this might be a very naive observation

City are absolutely killing it this season. I've made a ton of them just betting on them most weeks. Bristol lost but I had way more money on City.

Betting big on Tampa -1.5 @2.15 and also Oilers -1.5@2.6.

Feyenoord haven't scored more than 2 goals at home this season since their 5-0 win against Willem II in August... Decided to turn up and score 2 in the first 4 minutes of the game, and it could have been 4 or 5 if they had taken all of their chances.

Got under 3.5 goals and Roda JC +2.5 but it doesn't look promising now
