Football Bets

[M@ttitude]

Any good gamblers wanna share their thoughts on some good football bets??

[eirebhoy]

A bit more specific?

[M@ttitude]

I normally every weekend pick six home teams to win, you'd be amazed at how hard it is.. 5 euro would get you a nice little sum even with the biggish teams and since this forum is full of extremely knowledgable footy fans lets put our heads together to create one super weekly bet, no?

[eirebhoy]

Well its not really the right forum, general football would be more suitable. I'm a big gambler BTW (have a €55 euro Yankie on atm and all 4 teams are winning). I'd usually go to these two sites for info:
www.punterslounge.com
www.bettingadvice.com

You might want to look at this site
http://www.footballanorak.com/

You can see how a team does when a certain player starts
for instance you can see that if you back Chelsea (in the past)
when Duff starts you will make money. (24% gain).

\you would make more on Kilbane though (73%).

Even better with Carlsley (101%)

Back against Tottenham when Robbie Keane starts

Of course these are probably fairly player independant and
so my tip would be to back Everton and back against Chelsea.

However the odds my well have tightened now, but I suspect
you willl still get good value backing unfashionble Everton.
Famous last words?


Of course the sure fire way to make money betting on football,
or anything, is to become a bookmaker

If anyone cares, Luton were the only team that failed to win but I still got €51.33 back. Thats the good thing about Yankee's, if one team lets you down you only make a small loss or in some cases a small profit. I got €97 back from a €20 treble on Barca, Rennes and Gent so I'm up a bit for today.

OK.....I am going to put my money where my mouth is for a change!!

I said back Everton and they are playing Newcastle today (Sunday)
they are 3/1 to win at Ladbrokes where I will place my bet.
Everton away 5-1-1 are better than Newcastle at home 3-1-3
so I think 3/1 is a good price.

I will put £5 on it as Everton are as good as Arsenal away 5-1-1
and almost as good as Chelsea 6-1-1.

OK I have placed the bet!!

I might regret it, but at least I did the maths!! It's a close call because
Everton might settle for a draw but anyway the bet is on now and
I cannot back out of it!

I expect I will be eating humble pie later today but the way I look at it
is is that if the game was played 4 times Everton would win one of them
(enough to get my money back!!).

I am still scared though

But it will put my Ladbrokes account into credit by £5, although it is already
£60 in credit if I include my big odds on £210 1-3 on bet of Man U to beat
Millwal in the FA Cup final.

I would liked to have gone for a 1:0 win for Everton but Newcastle
play too open a game for correct scores

[tricky_colour]

1:1 thats my £5 down the pan!!
Lesson learn't.

[M@ttitude]

My mate put 100 euro on 8 teams over the weekend (stupid Fcuker), Luton only let him down, he would have won over 7000!!! Your right eireboy, he should have done a yankee!!!

[eirebhoy]

€20 on a Nancy, Perugia double tonight returns €55. Nancy have won their last 6 home games and are top of the French Ligue 2, Perugia are absolute bankers!

Love the football betting every weekend but betting on something as unpredictable as football is a mugs game. That said I'm proud to proclaim myself a mug as it adds a little fun to a saturday afternoon.

The other week I was absolutely devastated. 3 very very late goals (Hitzelsperger vs Bolton, Furlon vs Wigan, Phillips vs Pompey) separated me from winning £5,399 off a £2 bet!!!

BTW, why is this in the National Team Section?

Unpredictable? I find it one of the easiest sports to bet on. Because it is the sport I have most interest in I find it the most predictable. BTW, I spend a while researching team's form, etc before putting a bet on.

I've made over €210 on a free €50 bet I got over a week ago. I rarely lose to be perfectly honest. I never put more than €20 in my account and I just try to build that up. I've put bets of over €100 on but that is only from the money I've built up. I've never bet over €20 out of my own pocket (well, on football anyway). I never regard the amount in my account as my money until I take it out and have it in cash.

I have a folder in my favourites with about 15 sites for football tips, form guides, etc.

Well any info/tips would be gratefully received EB. I stick mainly to the English leagues as it's quite handy but they are probably the least predictable. I do my research (who is fit, injured, form, etc) but pick my bets very badly (i.e. betting on Bolton when Pompey get their first away win of the season without a manager, bet on Wigan when they lost their first game of the season, Wolves results have gone the other way every time i've bet on them this season, etc, etc). I'm not a serious better but would be nice to win slightly more often. I'm sure if bookies did a list of most predicatble sports football would come very far down the list.

www.sportinglife.com do a good betting preview of the English Premeri**** and European games.

[eirebhoy]

www.bettingadvice.com - This would be the first site I check for tips. Go to the predictions tab for tips and the forum for everything else. I just look at all the league's and anything over 7/10 (7 out of 10 ) I'd most likely bet on.

www.punterslounge.com - A betting forum where you can find useful info.

http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/formGuide.jsp? - British form guides

http://www.soccerway.com/ - worldwide football tables

http://www.bet-league.com/home.htm - tips

http://www.profitbets.com/ - tips

Thats a few good sites. Most team news you would want would be on the first two forums. European matches are great as Bettingadvice would have a seperate thread for every match. There is over 7,000 members so you'll get the info you need.

[Bowsy]

Cheers EB. Will have a good trawl through that lot when i get home. Unsurprisingly my employers don't allow us on such sites.

Seems to be a good selectiong info on the above link.

Nothing is a betting certainty though, I had £210 on Man U to win
the F A Cup against Milwall (at 1/3) , I was feeling pretty sick when it was
still 0-0 towards half time.

It made me £70 in the end though which made up for the £50
I was robbed of on the roulete machine in Ladbrokes.

Speaking of sporting certainties, am I correct that the team at the
bottom of the Prem have a habit of beating the team at the top,
sometimes when away from home!!!!

[tricky_colour]

€20 on a Nancy, Perugia double tonight returns €55. Nancy have won their last 6 home games and are top of the French Ligue 2, Perugia are absolute bankers!

Bankers? I think you can probably think of a similar sounding word for
them now!

Mind you I can talk as I lost £5 on Everton V Newcastle.

Rotherham got their first win of the season (21 games) against
Leeds too.

If it was that easy we would all be millionaires!!

Still I am gonna win my £5 back some how
