Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Nearly had a big lump on a red card in the Besiktas v Fenerbahce game at 13/8. Bottled it and there's been 3.
 
How are Barcelona and Lyon not winning?! They're both on separate bets as well. Bottling bastards.

They'll never win anything. They'll probably both get relegated this year.

I BELIEVE.
 
Just cannot catch a break at the minute. Watched the Guangzhou game this morning and the goals were flying in so I got on over 9.5 goals in-play at 20/1; the game finished 5-4.

Last night I was 1 goal from over £200 and the night before I was a yellow card away from over £400.
 
Gone for over 2.5 goals for these games: Grampus v Jubilo, Kashima Antlers v Gamba Osaka and Newcastle Jets v Sydney FC
 
My run continues. Had over 2.5 goals in the Tianjin game, finished 1-1 with a missed penalty.
 
I'll definitely place a bet of some sort on Chelsea tonight. Their need is far greater than City's who might use this game to rest some players and I'm sure Guardiola would be happy with a draw here. Chelsea on the other hand have been playing well without getting the results but really need one tonight. No midweek game either for them so they really have to go all out and looked overpriced at 6.00+. My own price is in the 4.75 - 5.00 region fwiw.
 
Ahh lost this one. Boston absolutely dominated but only won 2-1, quite a sad loss!.

Betting on Washington Caps ML @1.86

Got an easy winner there, Caps won 5-2.

I'm thinking of putting a smallish bet on Brighton win or draw @1.86, Arsenal have really been struggling away from home and Brighton are in decent form.

Really looking forward to both matches. Shame they overlap.

Ah this looks like a win but fecking Bet365 have just restricted my account, so fecking annoying. I preferred their software to anyone else's.
 
Winning too much although I've never had the "honour" of that happening too much even though I've had good winning runs on there.
 
Why did they do that??

You'll eventually get restricted or even banned by all the UK and European bookmakers if you don't make them any money, that's why they're utterly useless. If you're serious about betting you bet with Pinnacle, SBO and the other big Asian companies which welcome winning bettors.

Most of these sites don't allow UK players. Pinnacle banned us a few years ago but I think we're allowed back on now. I'll have to check it out.
 
I had a winning year end statement from William Hill and then they banned me. Promised me calls back to explain why I couldn’t login multiple times and they never happened. Shame!

Same thing for me (German) but I bet through Sportmarket, a broker which gives you access to 11 companies or so (including Pinnacle) through one single account.
 
Had a double today with Brighton and Marseille to win. Can anyone into Ligue 1 give me a bit of insight into how Marseille are at the moment? Will they take Nantes?

Do you just use other sites instead?

lol, Bet365 just said they will call me back in 48 hours. I'm just going to use WillHill from now on then.

These sites always look a bit dodgy, you have had no problems with them ?

Damn... is it based on the dollar amount or % win?

@Jagga7 how much is a typical unit bet for you? I remember you betting like a few grand a day at one point.

I've been using them for years and have only postive things to say. It's made such a difference to my betting as I only need one account and every bet always gets matched at the best available price.

Can’t get on pinnacle still on sbo as uk resident

It's definitely win percentage, they wouldn't give a feck if you bet big and lost. It's a bit of a scam really, they're happy as long as you're losing.
 
My strategy is a little different. I bet on times of goals e.g. either team to score before the 10th minute, 20th, 30th minute mark etc. One strategy is to usually wait until one of the teams gets a corner as obviously there's a decent chance a goal can result from that rather than when they're just passing it around on the halfway line.

Can be brilliant or desperate depending on how many goals there are in a game.

Yesterday I thought West Brom-Watford would be high scoring....first goal after 74 minutes. Was also betting on Hamburg-Mainz which of course finished 0-0.

Lost too much yesterday so the pot is dry today so what happens:

*Brighton score before 10 minutes (corner).
*Blackburn score before 10 minutes
*Koln score before 10 minutes
*Gimnastic Tarragona score before ten minutes (corner)
*Real Soceidad score before ten minutes (corner)
*Almeria score before ten minutes (corner).

All games I was either watching or keeping a check on and all played within last 7 hours.

Think I'll just stick to Sunday games in future as flow of games seems to be better than Saturday or Friday evenings for some wierd reason.

Yeah feck Marseille.
 
Went for Palace to score under 0.5 @ 1.80

Thoughts?

I don't know mate, I wouldn't say we're guaranteed a cleansheet with Lindelof at the back (although he has stepped it up, there's still general question marks around him)

I based it on their match vs Spurs last week. I expect them to fight for a 0-0 and rarely go past the halfway line. Not to mention our defense is pretty strong too.

A lot of their players will miss this match as well.
