Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Had over 9 corners in PSG - Nice. Almost cashed out at HT on 6, since the game was lacking action and the corners really coming cheaply at the end. Got greedy and waited, didn’t happen anything so I cashed out still at 6 after 70 minutes at 1/3 of my stake. Spent it all on PSG to score the 4th goal to have some excitement. Then of course corners arrive and we have 3 in the last 10 minutes, and at the very end PSG get a 100% chance to score - but Lucas finishes extremely badly and his shot goes to the 10th corner instead. Very good betting by me....
Things like this is one of the main reasons I never cash out a losing bet

Don't have much of a choice nowadays actually as bet365 Italy don't have the cashout option
 
Saw a nice bet being enhanced on skybet. 13/2 on:
City (away to west brom)
Wolves (away to QPR)
Watford (home to Stoke)

Put £15 on it for £112.50

We’ve all been there. I cashed out for my tenners stake in the 93rd minute of an 6 fold accumulator, needed just a palace goal away from home for £350 and with 30 seconds left on the clock i clicked the button, 20 seconds later they scored. :lol:
 
:lol:

Happens to all of us.

Thanks for the warm thoughts, luckily just a small stake. However, when that corner goes in, that’s the only time I as a non-believer look up to the sky and curse the big guy.

Yeah, stupid as hell. At HT I could have walked away from a bad feeling with a good profit. In the end I have nothing with a worse feeling. I imagine the guys manning the floors at Bet365 tonight opened a beer laughing at my behaviour
 
Took me hours but it's there:

Gortat over 10.5 rebounds @ 1.85 - as long as he plays against Green, he should be able to beat him to most defensive rebounds due to size difference. The two times he did not go above 11 season were against Drummond who is a monster and Jokic who was having immense game on the perimeter and inside. He got 17 against Sixers and 14 against Lakers the other night. This is B.

Kanter over 25.0 points and rebounds - again he will be the best rebounded on the floor, this time the line is not wrong though so no easy money to be made there to be fair. Still, his inside presence should IMO secure him a good number of points against Nets who don't have anybody to defend him, and he will still get a lot of rebounds. This is IMO a B+.

Kemba Walker over 28.0 points and assists @ 1.85 - he is Hornets main scoring option these days and gets 4-6 assists in most games. Rockets games have high intensity but they don't guard backcourts that well, would be different story if CP3 played but he won't. He should cover 22 points easily but I like having insurance of assists. Again, a B.

Love the Kanter bet, Brooklyn are the worst team in the paint. He should score a shit load tonight. I am on this bet!

Also betting Columbus Blue Jackets -1.5 @2.5

Best of luck!
 
Missed Kemba Walker's bet. I think this bet would be perfect considering Houston is without Ariza, Nene and Paul.

Should've bet that!!!
 
Harden is so good. Put over 27.5 points on him.

On the other side, Spurs one of the best defensive team being slaughtered by Magics.
 
Ridiculous, I wish there was some sort of insurance in case player gets less than certain amount of minutes but there isn't.
 
Kemba Walker looks solid, 19 points and 4 assists with full quarter to go.
 
Kemba easily in.

Kanter comes back for the second half and scored 4 immediately but unless he spent absolutely entire second half on the floor, there is zero chance of catching up on playing just 4 minutes in the first.

Sorry man, didn't mean to sound like a dick. We've all had those moments where the universe conspires against us. You can only really laugh about it.
 
Feck me, Kanter got 6 points and 3 rebounds in just 4 minutes of the second half so far. Again, why did that moron bench him.
 
The way he's been playing in the third quarter just pisses me off. 8 points and 4 rebounds in 6 minutes. He would crush this bet if he hadn't been benched.
 
Yeah would have walked the bet if he had played usually, still a slight chance he pulls something off though

Edit 12 points and 6 reb with still a quarter to go he could do it if he gets to play some more

He has 12 and 5 in just this quarter. If he keeps him on the floor he might cover.
 
The most frustrating bet ever, pulled out for the entire first half basically because the coach is angry, comes back to get 12 and 6 in a quarter and gets pulled from the game again. Stupid.
 
I went for Ibaka over 5.5 rebounds, George over 5.5 rebounds and Jokic (yes him) over 17.5 points too for a smaller stake. Ibaka and George because the lines are small and in Ibaka's case there will be lots to rebound from Lakers shots, George is a very good rebounder too. Jokic is silly given my history with that bastard but Hawks are rotating Collins and Dedmon. Collins is a BAD defender.

Jokic finally winning something :lol: will probably get undone by George unless he goes on a rebounding spree in the fourth.
 
George 1 rebound short from winning the other coupon for me :wenger: I was due a bad day, the total balance is what matters most now.
 
Time to go hard on the raptors... but with my luck tonight you might as well go lakers.

I went for Raptors and Wizards +15 double but just for a smaller stake to enjoy games a little more. Now I feel I am going to sleep anyway. I need to recover from this week.

Raptors have admittedly looked terrible but could still beat Lakers.

Dude I did the same parlay except Wizards +16

Raptors look like ass. This looks like another loss for me (us).

Yeah Raptors have no chance. Thankfully I am disillusioned with score markets otherwise I might have gone heavy for it. Wizards plus handicap seems like a great bet for both of us though. I don't get why I didn't look at Lakers plus market.

Cash out is at evens now - are you going to do it?

Apologies, I went to sleep for an hour and woke up for the finish. Hope you didn't cash out, Raptors look solid to win now. Lakers lack of experience shows.
