[TheBoss]

I cant understand it, since I made the thread, my bets seem to be losing, but I will come back from this, just wait and see.

[drinkfeckarse]

I await your predictions from the English weekend games. At this early stage I see value in Cardiff (Ev) away to Hereford, Bristol City (8/11) at home to Blackpool, Rotherham 7/5 away to Chester.

Possibly Aberdeen 10/11 at home to Hearts and Dundee 8/13 at home to Queen of the South too but I'll wait until I can get a preview of the games before I decide.

Wait for them then dont do them

Now, now, remarks like that are (somewhat) against the betting rules here.
It hasn't gone so well for him but there's no need to take the mick_ey.


But if possible, could you add a bit of reasoning to your bets TheBoss?

I agree Cardiff @ Evs is great price, Bristol City @ 8/11 is decent value, but 8/11 is just outside my range, I prefer 5/6 or 10/11 as max odds-on. I never like betting on League 2 games, they can be very unpredictable despite what the league table says.

Aberdeen looks a decent shout for a punt but after Hearts finally won last week after 2 months, they might get back to normal, A draw maybe likely. Dundee v QoS @ 8/13 again is just outside my range but Dundee should win.

EDIT: Just having a look at your choices in depth way, Rotherham do appear to be over valued, I have to add to my list

I'm only teasing a little after his remark about my bets being just lucky guesses ( even though ive put an extrodinary amount of research into them) and his are really good choices. I think its funny when my lucky guess comes off and the good choices dont !!!

But as i say its just a bit of messing.they arent ment as snide remarks.

[TheBoss]

I know you only messing anto, thats I am laughing when you write them

Too many bets for my liking. There can't be that many "value" bets everyday. I much prefer waiting for something that I think is way over priced and then put more money on it. Premiership games are never priced wrong and there is rarely any value in them. They are priced by god knows how many different companies and there is very little variation in price between the firms. You also have to take into account that they are adding about 3% to every selection in premier league games and 4% in other leagues.

[anto1208]

You have to double or trebbile up most prem games to make any money. I normally will do 5 games with 5 or 10 euro on it.

Won a lot this weekend 270 in small bets i used the criket one above put a tenner on got back 18. had a 5 game prem put on a fiver got back 45. had 4 teams in spain 5 on back 68 . HAd a few more but all small bets / wins in total bet around 50 on 8 different bets got back the 270. So it was a good weekend

Only one that didnt come off was one of the Boss's

[drinkfeckarse]

I did a 4 team roll up on Rotherham, Bristol City, Cardiff and Dundee but Dundee let me down. Funnily enough I thought if there was one to do it, it would be them but that's always the way isn't it...

[swano]

Doing accums is a bit of fun if yoy're only sticking a few quid down as you don't miss it and if you get a decent win it's great but you won't make money off them in the long run as you're multiplying the bookies advantage with every selection you add.

Agreed, this thread is mainly about an individual's fancies for the day rather than value. Anyway fair play to the boss to giving this forum a kick up the arse and getting it back to life.

[anto1208]

By value i reckon he means bets that have good odds and a good chance of happening double your money kind of bets rather than retire if this comes off kinda bets.

Where the favourite is still 5/6 on istead of 1/6 .

I have used some but tend to stick to my own ones won 270 this weekend from about 40 on. only 130 euro more break the 2 grand win mark for the season !! not bad for starting in august with 20 euro

one 7 team accumalator won me 600
Lescott to score first has won me over 500 over the season
Scots to beat france won me over 100
The rest have been little ones 3 or 4 team accumalators 5 or 10 on winning 40 -80 .

Nice and slow is the key to making money and never chase a bet thinking if i bet 10 here ill make my money back , just let it go and bet again a different day.

[anto1208]

another win tonight roma arsenal sunderland and ivory coast 98 euro on a roll now up to 360 in the account now from the weekend / mid week games

[drinkfeckarse]

At this early stage Newcastle 5/6 at home to Middlesboro is good value. Darlington Evs away to Wrexham looks good too. Proper look tomorrow.

[TheBoss]

I have not seen any good bets during the week, so hopefully I can some spot some at the weekend. Although my tips have been failing me with many of them losing with 10-15 mins to go.

[drinkfeckarse]

MK Dons (10/11) away to Bury. Great value to get almost evens for the top team to be playing a team close to the bottom, even if they are out of form at the moment.

Darlington (Evs) away to Wrexham. Again, a top against bottom clash and Darlingtons away form is good.

Newcastle (5/6) at home to Middlesboro. I fancy King Kev to get the first win of his second reign.

7/1 for 3 teams that SHOULD win really.

[TheBoss]

Your right, should win but you can not trust Newcastle in that treble.
