Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Warriors @-6 small odds only 1.26 or something. $200. Dallas is crap.

Ah easy win...US$52 profit...should laid US$500...hahahaha, but it was ate buy Football games on the weekend...

Start today, the lowest odds against GSW will rise again to double digit...fuiihhhhh...
 
This is fecking dreadful. When I needed him to score, he got zero points and 8 assists. When I need him to assist, he has 29 points and FIVE assists, ONE below my line. Fecker.

I HATE YOU JOKIC

And again I chose him instead of Gasol and Gasol would have comfortably won me the bet.

You gotta lay off big parlays man.

How is 4 games a big parlay? I would say it's medium at most.

It's not the size that's the problem, now that I am restricting myself to 3-6 games I actually managed to do very well for the last week, it's the odd bet here and there that prevents this from being a truly remarkable run instead of a good one. If Jokic decided to score on Saturday like he did today I would be 6000 PLN richer. I made almost 3000 in the last 5 days and it would never happen with singles or doubles considering 500 is the most I've ever played on a bet and I would only did put that much on small odds (unless it came from winnings not my own pocket). Actually the two doubles that I played during this period lost.

I know I won't put Jokic on any other bet ever. This was just 100 lost but could have been almost 1000 won which matters more now. And its third time that I put money on Jokic to do something and he doesn't do that thing. Unreliable.

@Sarni , hehehehe, you still got a great result, mate. Lucky that I laid on GSW then singles on Spurs, Bucks and Suns at least i only had a small total lost from weekend football.

NBA is beyond me. Just realize several transfers of good old players. However, I still don't have a knowledge of the young current stars. I only know some of them, Antetoukompo (pardon my spell), Kemba Walker, Rudy Gobert (pardon again).

Seems the spread is more competitive.

Wait for your NBA tips as usual, mate, specially NBA Parlays. Hehehehe.

Yeah overall my efficiency this season has been very good. That hasn't translated to big winnings yet but I have narrowly missed three huge ones, I got a feeling that with w little patience I will hit something very big in the coming weeks. No need to rush, plenty of kind games ahead.
 
Heat -4.5 (Schroder is out for Hawks expect Heat to win comfortably), Bucks -7 (Charlotte have a ton of players missing, expect Giannis to have a big game) and Rockets ML @ 3.28. Best of luck!

Ahh that's frustrating both teams cover but Rockets lose, blowing a 10 point lead and scoring only 14 in the 4th :wenger:

Sucks as I believe you got nice odds for Bucks -7 and it was really close for a long period too before Giannis ran away with it for them in the end.

Tonight will be interesting. I am waiting on players total lines before I wager something but I already feel James is going to rack up big numbers against this Bulls team as they have no one to put on him. Also liking Irving to score big against Knicks but also Porzingis to get a few against Horford. Luckily Jokic doesn't play tonight.

You had that other parlay on the weekend where you were 1 game off.. I just feel like if you played those singles you would have made more in the long term.

Parlay's are good here and there, just my 2 cents. You got some good picks in there though. Keep it up.
 
Any tips for the Allsvenskan matches later? Might go for Hammarby HT-FT

Hammarby bottled it and drew 3-3 in the end after leading 2-0 :wenger:

Placed an impulse bet on the Arsenal-Norwich game to have 4 or 5 goals. A long shot but I'm hoping a second string Arsenal will concede a goal or 2 to boost the tally
 
Mind to share the basis, mate ? Appreciate it lots. Thanks.
Just got back to find out she lost :(. Williams has been in terrible form of late, I really expected Ostapenko to blow her away especially as it went into a 3rd set. Williams is 37! Didn't see the match but I really thought this was a banker.

Yeh I always look for good match ups for the best players as well. Michael Kidd Gilchrist would have been someone who could have guarded Giannis but he was out so it was left to old man Howard.

I haven't even looked at the lines, I may just copy you as I gotta go out tonight :p
 
Gent - Eupen: Draw @4.70 (small stake); BTTS @1.71
Oostende - Charleroi: Charleroi NDB @2.00
Getafe - Alaves: Getafe @1.81
Zaragoza - Valencia: over 3 @1.85
Hibernian - Hearts: Hearts NDB@2.20;
Giroud to score first @3.00 (small stake); Giroud to score last @3.00 (small stake)
Bristol City - Crystla Palace: Bristol City NDB @1.95
Silmani to score @2.05
Swansea - Man Utd: Draw @3.70
Rashford to score @2.15
Martial to score @2.15
Man City HT HA-1 @1.80

Ventspils HA-3 @1.75
Alba Fehervar @2.45
Crvenza Zvezda @4.75 (small stake)
Crvenza Zvezda HA+12.5 @1.75
Olympiakos @2.00

Yeah I have analyzed tonight and came up with these:

Kevin Love total points, rebounds and assists over 31.5 @ 1.85 - even though he has played at center so far, I cannot help but think that Lue will try to get him to exploit Markkanen's poor defence tonight. He is always good for 10-12 rebounds and should get a couple of assists, so it basically hangs on him getting 20 or so points. IMO he will do that.

Enes Kanter over 7.5 rebounds @ 2.00 - I honestly don't get these odds and this line. I know Knicks are terrible but one thing Kanter is definitely good at is rebounding, and he is up against a team that can't rebound. I will genuinely be surprised if he doesn't get at least 10 unless I don't know something.

CJ McCollum over 24.0 points @ 1.90 - unless they go out of their way and play Allen exclusively to take care of him, he will be up against Moore who is a weak defender or Clark who is a very bad defender. Better bet than Lillard whose line is 26 and who will face Jrue.

Karl Anthony Towns sum of points,rebounds and assists over 36.0 @ 1.90 -
wouldn't touch it with a pole if Turner was playing but he won't be, so he will be up against young Sabonis. He should eat him.

Nikola Vucevic over 22.0 points @ 1.85 - Nets have no defence and he scored 41 against them just a few days ago. He's been in great form and with Nets clear defensive weaknesses he should get close to that or above.
 
This Kanter bet I really love. He got 10 against Drummond. Nobody aside from maybe Baynes can rebound for C's.
 
Been all over the women's internationals today with BTTS NO. England Wales Italy Hungary (some u19s) all smooth and just waiting on sweden who are 5 nil up with 2p to go.
Will have a dabble on some goals in the conference tonight.

England were far from smooth. I got on that at 1.68 when there were still 30 minutes to go but it left me sweating until stoppage time winner.
 
Cheers, will take Kanter and Vučević myself.

I like Vucevic with the amount of points Nets are conceding too. Towns is another one I like a lot here, really doubt Sabonis can defend him.

Love could go either way. Chicago are so awful that game could be over by fourth quarter so they could shut him and James for the last 6-7 minutes.
 
Does anyone else take a punt and hedge their bets when odds are high?

For example at HT today in the Arsenal/Norwich game... I put $50 on a draw @ 3.00 AND $50 on Arsenal win @ 2.75

The result was a guaranteed profit of $50... the alternative would've been a profit of $37.50...... unless Norwich won.

Anyone else do this kind of stuff? @Sarni @BobbyManc et all?
 
Trying another accumulator tonight, Celtics ML, Islanders ML (they are playing the worst in the league at home who are starting a terrible goalie tonight), Penguins ML (they are coming of a thrashing at the hands of Tampa, so I expect them to come out blazing at home in this game) and Tampa Bay +1.5 (one of the best teams in the NHL this year and we are getting them at a plus puck line) @4.28

Also playing Sarni's tip of Kanter over 7.5 rebounds @1.9

Best of luck!

Great call there he managed to get 8 in the first 6 minutes, cheers for the tip

Islanders trailed 0-1. Do you think they will bounce on at P2 ?

Cashed out at around 2.98 with a couple of one goal games. Still some very nice profit tonight!
 
Kanter was so easy :lol: ended up with 19 rebounds.

Vucevic I got wrong. To be fair I did not expect Aaron Gordon to suddenly fire off to 41 points and be focal point of Magic offense. Towns and Love both in although marginally.
 
I like Utah to win at Clippers. They are very equipped to nullify Clippers biggest strengths, and 3.50 in-play is generous.
