Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

They call me Neverlearn for some reason.

Watford to score 5th at 6.50.

Kids, betting sucks. Rather stay in school or something.

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

Leipzig got a hard fought 1-0 win, Newcastle actually won, Betis win comfortably, Sampdoria scored in the first 10 minutes so hopefully they are not going to bottle it. Would leave me with Valencia and Basel.
 
Sampdoria 3-0 up and Valencia have been better side so far. Hopefully Basel can get a nice win to confirm my biggest win of season so far (2500 PLN from 100 PLAN invested last night).
 
Valencia are 1-0 ahead so quite confident they won't lose. Likewise Sampdoria who are 3-0 up and cruising. Just Basel left on my coupon, don't let me down...
 
Come on Basel, don't be this way. Win this. It's just Thun at home.
 
Did two bets today. A 9 team 65/1 acca that United let me down on and a Win BTTS of Chelsea, Bournemouth and Swansea. So close yet so far. Could be sat on £1200 very easily now from £15 haha
 
Ah it's shocking Bayern didn't get the 2nd goal. They missed a gazillion chances, sad stuff!
 
In-play: Vitoria Setubal to score @ 21/20, small stake.

Winner. Currently eyeing up BTTS at Napoli - Inter. Game is quite open, Inter will definitely get a few decent chances, and with Icardi you'd fancy them to take one. Napoli look stronger so fully expect them to score. Price is currently evens, I'll probably take it at 6/4.

Edit - Got on at 5/2, no luck. Very good game though. On this in-play treble in Peru Segunda at about 2/1. Over 1.5 goals at Sport Boys, Union Huaral to score, Deportivo Hualgayoc to score in 1st half.

Nice i stuck a fiver on your first tip. Missed your second luckily haha.
 
I won that coupon but do not have the guts to play any further. I got to 8 but it included one bet over 2.00 and four bets above 1.50 so it's basically almost as good as the 15 bet challenge I was going to complete.

2000 PLN withdrawn, almost 500 stuck on:

Nikola Jokic over 17.0 points @ 1.85 - he only got 9 against Jazz which is why the line is 17 points but he will likely be playing most of the game against tired Cauley-Stein, in front of his own fans tonight.

Houston Rockets -9.5 against Dallas Mavericks @ 1.58 - these teams are worlds apart right now and Rockets will be well rested and in front of their own fans compared to Mavericks who are on back to back and third game in 4 days. The spread us significant but Houston should cover it.

San Antonio Spurs -7.5 against Chicago Bulls @ 1.65 - both teams have injury crisis but that has never stopped Spurs from winning games. Aldridge and Gasol will cause plenty of trouble and the team looked very comfortable against strong Timberwolves at home in the opening game. Bulls on the other hand with field a team whose best hope is a rookie playing his second ever game, and could start Jerian Grant at point guard - this lad was never more than third choice anywhere. Spurs are a well oiled machine so should win this one comfortably.

Giannis Antetokounmpo over 26.5 points @ 1.85 - the line is quite high but for a reason. They are literally running every play through him now and he usually has a good game against Blazers. He should get to the line a few times too.

Andre Drummond over 13.0 points @ 1.85 - line is quite low, he only scored 9 last night but most of the game he had to play against Gortat who is an underrated and strong defender. He scored 8 in their first game but again, Dwight Howard was on him so they did not go to AD much. He could be playing against Kanter tonight and Kanter cannot defend so I hope they will exploit that.

I would go mental if I woke up to a sight of 6000 PLN and change tomorrow but I am aware I will probably lose it. The profit from the football coupon has me sorted so I can risk the one above for a stake I wouldn't normally risk.
 
Rockets, Cavs, Nuggets and Clippers moneyline parlay for tonight. PSV, Pizen, Sporting and Real for tomorrow.
 
How do the magic lose to the freaking Nets without Lin one night then come back to smoke the Cavs on the road the next. I hate basketball.
 
Crap, Jokic didn't get any points because they used him as playmaker. The rest went in easily. Obviously a bit disappointed but still an excellent day. Should have just gone for Denver handicap though, or Gasol over 19 as I was also looking. Shame because the other 5 bets were incredibly comfortable, especially the points ones (Drummond scored 21 while Giannis got 44) so they kind of went to waste. I should be over the moon with winning 2000 PLN net in a day but feel a bit underwhelmed because of the nights bet.

For today I have gone with:

PSV
Brugge
Viktoria Plzen
Steaua
Lazio

I am keeping it at 5-6 games now after the excellent one yesterday.

This has been a good weekend so far. Hopefully the above can make it even better.

Following @Sarni, but add Persija and Sporting for more odds. It is a bad week in overall.

Will play a singel backing up Ajax against Feyeenord.

Finger crossed
 
Went for Barcelona inplay(basketball), Muguruza and Tsonga(both tennis)
 
NBA tonight will be useless. Three games and all are tough to call. I like New Orleans at Lakers though and might go for it if my bet above wins.

Tottenham v Liverpool

So is this a strategy you go for quite often (with any success) or is it just more of a random guy feel??
 
Today is just random accumulator with a piss change as a stake, but I do often play those as singles or doubles. Success, so so. Maybe should've kept some notes about how often there are wins and losses.

Ok right thanks. I quite like the sound of it, the one reservation I would have is that the bet could effectively be over within ten mins & I like to feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of my inevitable losses:) (that's why I enjoy btts, at least you're still in it to the bitter end).
 
Indeed, that's a good approach. But what if the game is really really boring? :D

Then again, doubtful it can get boring when we have money on them. ;)

And my accu is already over. Dammit, Koln, you too Bremen. I did win a double earlier of Villareal and Chievo though.
 
Crap start to the day, hopefully can turn it around. At the minute I'm looking at FK Jelgava to win (8/13) and Sivasspor to score (1/2). Also Denmark 1st Divison kicks off at 13:30, should be able to make a bit there but nothing stands out pre-game.
 
I know people that go for corners and bet on the same teams with pacy wingers week in week out, I've seen good winnings from it. Makes sense. And likewise, unders on corners for teams with high possession and slow tempo play through the middle.

Today I've just done an acca for interest. No insightful picks, just teams you'd expect to win and hoping all 9 do!
