Football Betting Thread 2017/2018

Glad I didn't go through with this. Cavs starting to look the part now.



Bro, you have more luck in NFL than NHL lol.

:lol::lol: The game was ridiculous. Rangers dominated through out but Florida managed to take a 3 goal lead in the first period on 6 shots. Just the way it goes sometimes in hockey!
 
Chelsea to nil tonight. Swansea are utterly useless up front (and generally). Might do city to Nil as well but not sure on that one atm, they're still liable to concede.
 
Last acca went horribly wrong; trying my luck again:

Draw or Burnley
Everton-West Ham over 2.5 goals
Swansea +1.5
Southampton +1.5
Stoke +1.5
 
Over 0.5 FHG at Spartak Subotica @ 7/4.

No dice. Going to stay in Serbia though, Vojvodina currently 1-0 down at home to Borac Cacak. 16 of Vojvodina's 21 goals this season have come in the last half hour of matches. Borac Cacak not kept a clean sheet away all season, and only two at home. Will take Vojvodina to score at around 65th minute mark probably, provided they're still losing.

Wank. Going to leave Serbia now.
 
Leganes - Villareal halftime-fulltime: Villareal/Villareal @ 4.50

- Villareal has really hit form in attack, and dominated Sevilla and then lost 3-2 due to a goalie-drop. Leganes has lost the last 4.

Went with your tip, adding Arsenal and City to win me £50 :) Home win and ‘BTTS No’ has served me well recently.
 
KD and Curry back, Kuzma out. Took Warriors on the spread but its gone up a little now.

Edit - managed to cover myself inplay, shambolic from curry though.

Almost a big win from my midweek acca! Gonna go for a treble now:

Draw or Juventus
SPAL +1.5
Freiburg v HSV under 2.5 goals
 
Roma over 4.5 goals @ 7/4. Look like they're going to maul poor SPAL here, could be 6 or 7 to be honest.
 
Wasteful. Gerson just put it over from about 3 yards.

So frustrating, got on Roma over 3.5 instead as well, can't believe they didn't get another in the last 35+ mins. And that miss was a joke.
 
Won some good bets recently. Tonight won £45 off £12 on a double of Sporting win to nil and Cardiff. Got my balance up to £170 now after starting with a fiver last month.
 
Tempted by this at the weekend. £20 returns £73.

Wish I’d put more on now obviously. Seems quite obvious now really. :(

Nothing obvious about that to be honest, you were right to be cautious with your stake, although I know what you mean, it is a bittersweet feeling when you land a win at a nice price but didn't put much on.
 
BTTS @ San Jose v Bolivar at evens. San Jose have made a good start, definitely look capable of scoring here. Bolivar nearly always score, league leaders, so with San Jose looking sharp then worth a small bet.
 
So, I plotted my guesses into a World Cup sheet and Neymar seems a good shout at odds 11 to be topscorer of the tournament:

Pros:
- Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia could be around 7-8 goals for Brazil. The knockout stages could be around 9 goals if they reach the semis.
- Previous winners have played all games during the tournament
- Easy and attacking opponents: Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia, Mexico/Sweden, Portugal, France
- "Easy" path to the semis, where they'd be guaranteed a 3rd place match also
- "When nervous/in doubt, pass it to Neymar"
- The topscorers of previous World Cups have all been players who played full minutes every match (Griezmann could be subbed for France)

Other mentions:
- France have a high goal probability and have a VERY strong team.
- Argentina has had a bad patch in the qualification - Messi might not shine so bright.

To take the safe road one could also play each way 1/4 - 4 places

haha got that early research in. You're going to have to remind me when the tourney starts.

Just put the profit from my BTTS bet in Bolivia on these two not to lose. First time I've backed one of your tips from memory so no doubt I've jinxed it, my apologies in advance ;)

Haha, I'm pretty confident we will win. 3-0 in one game and 1-1 in the other. Hopefully we can get it done!
 
Had a nice winner yesterday with Cardiff, KFC Uerdingen 05, 1860 Munich, Slavia Prague, NEC Nijmegen, FC Twente Women, Ajax Women, Sporting Lisbon, Mosta FC, CFR Cluj and Osasuna. The Osasuna game was suspended so closing odds finished @17.75.

Napoli/Juventus screwed up another 11-fold though. All other results came in. Went BTTS in that game.
