Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Another hopeless day yesterday. I'm on a terrible run.

I think I will take 15 bets in a row challenge now. If it doesn't help me win, it will at least slow down the rate at which I am losing. It's also probably the only strategy which has ever helped me win money.

Basically, I want to nail 15 bets in a row, be it singles or coupons, at minimum 1.25 per each odds. I will get to minimum 2800 PLN if that happens (starting with 100 PLN).

Bet 1 @ 1.29: Atalanta to beat Apollon Limassol.

Won

Bet 2 @ 1.49: Raptors -9.5 against Bulls

Bet 3 @ 1.57:
Thunder -9.5 against Knicks
 
Bet 4 @ 1.33: Shandong Luneng to beat Liaoning Hongyun (1.19) and Bali United to beat Persatuan Sepakbola TNI (1.12).
 
Flyers ML and Chiefs -3 @3.6

I hope you didn't put lots of money on this.

I had Chiefs Money line for $100.... and cashed out at $125 when I saw Oakland with the ball with the last possession. Knew at that point it was time to cash out and not risk it.

Flyers lost 1-0 anyway!, so I wasn't sweating it, what a crazy game though! I think it was enjoyable to watch without of the stress of having money on it for the last few plays.

You have to be happy you escaped with some profit!
 
I had the Chiefs moneyline and cashed out during the last drive. It's been crazy in the NFL this season, everyone's getting hammered this season. Only reason I've broken even there is by betting against Cleveland every week.
 
Bet 4 @ 1.33: Shandong Luneng to beat Liaoning Hongyun (1.19) and Bali United to beat Persatuan Sepakbola TNI (1.12).

Well I shouldn't have put random stuff like Bali United there. 1-0 down.

Won. Dithering between Blazers, Timberwolves and Hornets for the night...
 
So from now on Bet365 will be paying out the winnings of the full-time result bets in advance when the team you've picked to win gets a 2-0 lead.

Only applies for the major leagues though.

@Spiersey Germany women are currently 1-0 down to Iceland women at home. Seems like they are playing better, currently priced 1.83 and I know Germans are quite good in general. This is World Cup qualifier so not a meaningless game either. Worth a punt for Germany to win or Bet No Draw?

Don't they know that 2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline?
 
I got to 402 PLN already from 100 PLN. I have several games I want to play this night but cannot decide:

Portland at Indiana - Indiana are underpowered this season and Portland have started excellently, on the minus side though it's an away game. Blazers were hammering them with George last season before losing in last quarter. I feel rather comfortable about it.

Milwaukee v Cleveland, Milwaukee with handicap - Bucks are generally extremely tough at home, they had a great start at TD Garden beating Celtics and I don't think Cavs have got to their top form yet after significant roster changes. They might win but I'm thinkin Bucks +8.5 is a secure bet.

Timberwolves to beat Jazz at home - I know their results went in the opposite direction on the opening night but Jazz were at home and Wolves were playing at San Antonio which is always a nightmare. Roster wise T'wolves are better and they will be in front of their own crowd which should be straight road to victory.

76ers against Celtics at home, with handicap or even without any handi. They ran them close in their home game in preseason without Embiid or Fultz, and Sixers played very well in the opening night at Wizards. On the other hand they do have some difficulties keeping consistency and Boston need a win badly after losing their first couple of games. I'm thinkin Sixers +8.5 should be safe and sound though.

So basically I'd go for Portland SU, Minnesota SU, Philadelphia +8.5 and Bucks +8.5. I was thinking about putting Kings +13.5 or Hornets SU on but with those two you never know.
 
Ok in chronological order:

Bet 5 @ 1.62: Portland Trail Blazers to beat Indiana Pacers @ Indiana

Bet 6 @ 1.30: Philadelphia 76ers +7.5 against Boston Celtics @ home

Bet 7 @ 1.32: Milwaukee Bucks +9.5 against Cleveland Cavaliers @ home

Bet 8 @ 1.53: Minnesota Timberwolves to beat Utah Jazz

I wanted to keep small amount of bets per day but I just like too many games tonight. I'm staying up all right.

Cheers man, I'll definitely use your tips.
 
F*ck off Medvedev :mad: Won the first set and was leading 4-2 in the second and then decided to crumble by winning only one of the next 10 games. This is the second time in a row where this shite happens. Fecking cretin.
 
West Ham to draw @3.6

Can't see them bagging two, and will probably equalise in the second half, maybe worth waiting till HT and then putting it on.
 
Picked 20 random games over 1.5 goals, all of them are in except 1 which is still 0-0 with only 20 mins left :(
 
Portland look very solid, 76ers are actually ahead so likely to cover +7.5, Bucks are a bit problematic because they are down by 6 and need to lose by no more than 9 but Giannis has been good.
 
Come on Bucks, just don't lose this by more than 9. It's not difficult.

Thanks Bucks for being useless :(

Were 13 down with Cleveland's best players off the floor and missed two open threes. With Giannis off the floor they were outscored by something silly. This is the end of the road this time. Gutted.
 
Boston won by more than 7 anyway, should have stuck to SU lines.

I started over though and hit Minnesota at 2.02 last night and won incredibly lucky in the morning on under 147.5 in Japanese league (game finished 76-71!).

So 2 bets in, 2 bets for today:

Bet 3 @ 1.49: Leipzig to beat Stuttgart

Bet 4 @ 1.57:
Betis to beat Alaves

Bet 5 @ 1.26: Newcastle to win or draw against Crystal Palace

Bet 6 @ 1.54: Sampdoria to beat Crotone

Bet 7 @ 1.35: Basel to beat Thun

Bet 8 @ 1.35: Valencia to win or draw against Sevilla

Sevilla just played at CL, mate. And Valencia trend is very good. Perhaps both team to score offers more chance. Just my opinion btw...i am in a bad run...hahahahaha...

I meant to win or draw :lol: I have Valencia or draw. Same for Newcastle, was just too early in the morning for me to get this posted right on here, the night of watching NBA has taken its toll :lol:
 
Got a free £5 bet, so I went for
Chelsea -1
City 2-0 anytime score
Huddersfield-United <2.5
Swansea DC

I am not doing that great though. Two 1.30s lost last night, although I got four 1.5+ right over two days. A few games that I like this night which I will take if I win football bets.
