Football & Sports Betting Thread 2023/2024

Odds have crashed in favour of Porto. Very rarely see such drastic change in odds pre game in any of the top 5 leagues or European football. From 3.0 (2/1) on Tuesday to 2.38 (11/8) now. Must be a load of money going on Porto over night

I read the above during my lunch break yesterday, and was tempted to bet for a Man Utd win. In the end, I came across information that the game would be more challenging that I anticipated, and went with double chance instead

I'm hoping Flick learnt his lesson from Osasuna by not rotating heavily. Confident with Bayern. I feel the greatest risk is Kovacic playing as the defensive anchor, and O.Dembele not starting due to disciplinary reasons.
 
Quite fancy BTTS in the Napoli v Como game this afternoon @ 1.90

BTTS + Over 2.5 @ 2.30 too.

Expect Napoli to win like 2-1/3-2 or something.

Looks on for a winner that. I went for a United win but luckily went for the 2 up option. Was very good odds aswell and luckily we went 2 up so got it out as a winner.
 
looking to ditch my national bet so looking a good site to join....only looking to bet on football, would be cool if they had goalscorers(+ games ideally), players shoots on target and similar crap.
Anyone can help? :D
 
Torino v Como - BTTS & Over 2.5 @ 2.50

Fully expect BTTS to go in here. Comp are 6/8 this season both teams scoring. I think it should be closer to evs so is a little bit of value in my opinion.

I backed this out of boredom. Not looking good at HT. 0-0 with only 1 SOT.
 





Not a bad Sunday’s work, £2400 from £20, but should have definitely been more. I cashed out the £1.4k before the Napoli game kicked off and let the other one run which would have been worth £6.5k. If I swapped them round, the bet I cashed out actually won and would have got me £3.3k while the 1-0 Napoli win was of course a goal short for the £6.5k.

Is that your podcast? Not bad!

Yea it is. Still trying to grow it and very basic production at the moment but some good footy and betting talk I think. But thank you kindly.
That's awesome, would love to give you a follow on X but don't have it, out of interest how do you decide what picks to put in your acca?

No worries mate, we also do a podcast (nit often enough tbh!) so you can catch us on YouTube too.

As far as deciding games, just knowledge and experience really, bit of form guide etc. Ultimately, if you are confident a team will win a game, there’s probably a good chance that they will win it by more than one goal. If you don’t back a team to win by more than one then you’re probably unsure of the result at all, can go either way.
 
Let down big time by Ludogorets at the weekend. Prior to the game, they’d played 14 in the league and only conceded 2 goals. I back them and they concede 2 in the same game, 1 of them in 91 minutes to do me over. That’s the last time I go over to Bulgaria in the hunt for value.

They are regular friends of mine, although if I recall correctly, I did have some concerns over their weekend game as their opponent was somewhat respectable.
 
I've not had a bet for months now. I looked at my profit and loss on SkyBet and it spun my head. I'd wagered almost £5k in 12 months, luckily I'd somewhat broken even over that period, but I realised how much I was wasting on it and the fun stopped, so I stopped.
 
Skybet gubbed me for no reason, probably because i took up some of the offers they offered me !!

Horrible site.

My favourite bet at the moment is Haaland multiple SOT's, the guy always seems to get at least 3 per game and the odds are not that bad to be fair.

I do shot bets too, although I see Haaland as pointless money personally. Semenyo, Garnacho are amongst the better value in the shots game I think. Even Casemiro at times.
 
Southampton fouls committed is a market to keep an eye on although I think they'll probably have started to realise already. Juric's Torino side were quite high in Serie A's foul rankings. They made 15 in his first game and 19 yesterday where I had 16+ at 5/1 so it'll be interesting to see how they price their next game.
 
Celtic priced at EVS against a Rangers team whose manager is on the brink of being sacked, missing their 1st choice GK & two best defenders.

Free money

Not sure, must win for Rangers, Celtic aren't even arsed if they only get a draw they're that far out infront

9/1 to make 17+ fouls with Skybet, looks very tempting after last weekend. Had a small stake on that and gone bigger on 12+ at evens. 15+ at 7/2 also available.
 
Was waiting on Real Madrid and Sporting tonight. Sporting winning, Real Madrid losing and down to 10 men. Real Madrid make it 2-1 and then of course Sporting conceded at the same moment so couldn’t even cash out. When the fun stops…
 
Ugarte to be carded at just over evens

It's a put the house on it bet with Oliver being allowed to ref us again
 
Looking forward for the line ups to be revealed for tonight's staggering 18 Champions League games . I think I'll be doing 2-3 ACCA's at least.

Thinking aloud ...one ACCA I'm considering is a Five Way featuring PSG ML, Real Madrid ML, City Match Result and over 1.5 Goals ML, A.Madrid ML, and the fifth maybe something related to Barca/Atalanta probably not ML, as WhoScored have predicted neither Lewandowski nor Yamal will start. And even if they did start, it will be challenging regardless.

Without Barcelona/Atalanta it equates to 5.88/1. I'm now trying to figure out best course of action for PSG Match Up. PSG 17/10 to win, or maybe the safer option of Over 2.5 goals 10/11 as I rate Stuttgart highly. . Decisions decisions.

Real Madrid ML, City Match Result and over 1.5 Goals, A.Madrid ML and I'm torn with PSG/Stuttgart.

I might do a hedge and do Stuttgart Over 2.5 goals, Real Madrid ML, City Match Result and over 1.5 Goal, A.Madrid ML. The other being PSGML, Real Madrid ML, City Match Result and over 1.5 Goals, A.Madrid ML.


Also considering Ac Milan Over 2.5 Goals, Atalanta Over 2.5 Goals, Inter ML, Combined Over 1.5 Goals between PSG and Brest and Mbappe 1 Shot On Target.

Won £170, not too shabby to close January. It's not £1330, but I'll gladly take it

A win is a win. It’s the feeling as much as the money. I had an identical parallel bet worth £6.5k but with Leverkusen at -2 instead of -1. They won 2-0, but had it been 3-0, that bet would have won too. Happy with my win, but still a bit annoyed at that because they had 10 shots on target and another 10 off target!
