Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Groth to beat Rubin @2.20. Rubin has been absolute shite for the past month or so and his physical condition is still far from optimal.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Rubin win the first set and then completely crumble.

Groth :lol: Took the match to a deciding set and then basically threw the towel at 5-6 by making 3 double faults to hand Rubin the win. What a plonker.

Not a big deal. Only lost a tenner.
 
Lyon Women to Win to Nil (both teams to score no) can be found at 1.66 on a couple of sites. Should be 1.2.
Bayern Women -1 asian is nice too. Should win the game at least, they dominated the first game after Chelsea took the league. Decent home bias too.
 
Fun bets on over 2.5 in Ecuador game. Game is played in quito at 2800m but none of Ecuador play at Altitude anymore. All foreign based of play in Guayaquil at sea level. No one will be able to breath at the final period of the game, should be lots of space + Argentina need to win.
Also on Venezuala +1.5, in good form recently. Paraguay are too short due to needing a win. If this was mid campaign they would be 1.8. Paraguay probably win but 2 goal win is asking a lot for me.
 
Small stake on Panama to win (confident) & Honduras DC (coin flip) @ 2.25
Winner.

Not much on today; Astana should pick up a win, confident in Stjarnan and Montpellier women to get results away from home, and keeping my eye on a couple of Tercera games (Alzira vs La Nucia in particular, I'll probably do X2 but will wait nearer to kick off).

EDIT: Going for MOIK Baku DNB vs Turan.

The run I've been on :lol: Lost yesterday due to France not covering -1.5 handicap, lost on Sunday because of Denmark conceding to 10 men Romania and then Czech not being able to put mroe than 5 past hopeless San Marino, my last 5 bets were all losses. I am resigned now as I won't even be able to make any of that back in the short term and I lost some truly good wagers like Estonia -3.5 etc. because I paired them with nonsense.
 
Some funny results in the CONCACAF section.

Good call on Argentina although away from home short odds always carries some risk but with Ecuador having nowt to play for was worth it.

I am also resigned starting from today.

See you again on the Saturday-Monday GW, mate...hahahahaha. Come on @Sarni, this thread wont be the same without you.

It is the most amusing thread, Nobody attacks anybody. Win or Loose, I can keep smiling....hahahaha.

:lol: I'll probably be back on Saturday anyway but it's just shit knowing how much better off I'd be if just a couple of results did not go the way they did, five times in a row.
 
No pre-game bets today. Few bets I'm going to look at in-play.

Al Sadd v Al Rayyan - Goals (especially 1st half)
Airdreonians u20 v Morton u20 - Goals (over 2.5 max)
Bayern Women to win
Gimnastic v Granada - Corners (expect over 8)
Farnborough v Weymouth - Goals/BTTS
HB Koge v Roskilde - Over 1.5 goals/BTTS
 
Winner.

EDIT: Going for MOIK Baku DNB vs Turan.

I was looking at the match just then (over 1 Goal Line) but I think Astana are missing Kabananga and Twumasi on international duty, which is a huge miss, just in case you're looking at getting on them in-play pal.

Both won.
Now for Women's Champions League

Waiting for line ups for most of them incase some teams rest but the two I posted above still decent
 
This a good shout you reckon mate? Odds of 4/6 seem generous.
Yeah, should be 1/5, maybe even shorter. Even if Lyon rotate, they'll still dominate the game. Medyk had one shot the home game, every since Pajor left them they can't cause better teams issues.

I've just jumped on it, now they have suspended the market! Cheers for the advice, you should start charging commission!

What firm are you using for this one mate ?
 
Also on England u17 -1 asian in play from 0-0.

Cheers, got on at evens. Used my Unibet account as it wasn't on Bet365, I'd use them more often but fecking hell it's got to be the least user-friendly of all the betting websites.
 
Cheers for the tip, man.

No worries man, should be won now.

I got a couple of friends to stake on Sunbets + betfred for me. Not sure what price other sites will have it now. Not a huge fan of short prices like 1.66 but huge value for the correct price. Medyk score 1 or 2 games every 10 times they play this fixture.

Cheers. Closest i found was highest scoring half to be a tie (for Medyk) which is something i use occasionally when the win to nil market isn't available. 365 offered 1/4 this morning on that which is unbackable but it's shortened even further into 1/7 now. Will check Sunbets and Betfred. Thanks.
 
@JonDahl I put Stjarnan in my bet at 4/7, they’re now 10/11. I know absolutely nothing about women’s football - are they resting players or something?
 
Any reason why this isn't showing up on Bet365?

No idea, just presume they haven't sent anyone to the gane to cover it in-play. They seem to be getting worse for it recently, a fair few games/markets I've liked in the past few weeks haven't been offered.

It was 2-1 after 13 minutes according to twitter

Haha typical, to be fair if the goals landed that early I probably wouldn't have made anything from it then, markets would have needed a goalless 15 mins or so to become backable
 
Alright, my short break is over :lol: Looking at Houston Dynamo v Sporting KC. Houston are pretty decent at home (11 wins at half time!) but both teams will be missing key players due to internationals. Tough one to call but there should be goals in this one despite Sporting KC's measly defence. Over 2.5 goals for me, and maybe a small stake on Houston HT-FT

Always goals in USA! My fave league for betting.
 
Gone for Troicki vs Thiem at 2.25 inplay. Looks like it's going to a tie break and I can see Troicki edging it

Twumasi did go off with Ghana but he wouldn't have affected my confidence to put on a bet. Kabananga started and scored the winning penalty. Astana didn't play well but weren't really threatened either.

No mate, more or less full teams for both (couple of squad players playing as you'd expect). I can only guess people got on Rossiyanka big because they got a draw in the 1st leg.

Yeah I couldn't find team news and saw both had played recently for Ghana and Congo respectively with another game scheduled so I just presumed they weren't playing and avoided it. Well done if you got on then.

Stjarnan drifted because the first game was relatively even due to Stjarnan playing very poorly. Game today is neutral venue. Russian sides dropped in quality a fair bit but Stjarnan winning so easily a surprise still.

Thanks mate, had a double with them and over 3.5 goals in the Wolfsburg W game :)
