What are your bets for this weekend?

HangTime · 28 Sep 2011 at 23:46

For those doing football accumulators this may be of interest: http://www.victorchandler.com/vcbet/en-gb/pages/show/75121-don-t-hit-the-bar

Short version (read the above for the small print): Stick up to £25 on a five-fold and get your stake back as a free bet if one of yours doesn't come in. I did this for the Champions League:

Lyon W
Barca W
Arsenal W
Milan W
Shaktar W

4/5 came in so in theory I should be getting a £25 free bet, although it hasn't been added yet.

1 AC Milan v Plzen (Backing AC Milan @ 1.28)
2 BATE Borisov v Barcelona (Backing Barcelona @ 1.13)
3 Leverkusen v Genk (Backing Leverkusen @ 1.3)
4 Shakhtar v APOEL (Backing Shakhtar @ 1.6)
5 Schalke v Maccabi Haifa (Backing Schalke @ 1.29)

£5 on that lot. double money back. Nothing fantastic but will cover a couple of minor losses.............if........

I'm getting bad at betting, still got part of that lot on if schalke win tonight I could recover something!

Also went mental last night and placed this lot on for the horse racing today

Horse Racing Annes Rocket, Come On Blue Chip, El Djebena, Clouds End, Elite, Amoure Medici

Got 10p on trebles.....40 lines so hope to get something from that.

Ok thanks

I only bet on footy as i know zero about horses though people here seem to make a bit on baseball and NFL?

Looking at

Rubin Kazan
Twente
Tottenham

Win @ 1.35/1

Well Rubin messed that up !

Derek W · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:48

made some losses despite wins on the two bets above. horses were pitiful and schalke pulled some back. ah well back to business at the weekend

Not football but every morning before work i literallyh just do a 1p e/w accumulator for every meeting, just for fun...had this one today :

Steel City Boy @ 12/1 4@1/4
Zarosa N/R @ SP 3@1/5
Asifa @ 5/2 3@1/5
Khazium @ Guaranteed Price (9/1) 3@1/4
Red Anthem N/R @ Guaranteed Price (14/1) 3@1/5
Taste The Wine @ 20/1 3@1/4

Lost
Void
Won
Placed
Void
Won

...damn

If the first one had at least placed would have been £1.17 from 2p...obviously nothing, but at a quid or so it would be very nice

I reckon a draw there, but I hope you're right!

By the way chaps, something to note:

Europa League games. Last few seasons the group games have been packed full of goals after the opening games and you'll get between 5/6 and 11/8 in most games. Last year I picked 10 and got 8 right (others were 1-1 and 0-0.. grr), £15 outlay - 8 got £45 back, 9 would've been £450, 10 would've been £4,500. It's achievable for sure. 1st group games this year there were 10 over 2.5 goals, 14 under 2.5. Not a great start there, but it will pick up.

I suggest 120 x 10p 7-folds, 45 x 10p 8-folds, 10 x 20p 9-folds and a £1.50 accumulator. Totals £20, but the rewards are rich even for 8 or more, 10 would be huge

15 of the 24 games tonight were over 2.5 goals and 9 of the 10 late games were. Just have to hit right.

I missed a golden opportunity tonight. I still had £500 in my paddypower account when i noticed that Totteham had gone 1-0 down to Shamrock Rovers and i couldn't believe it when i saw 17/10 for a Spurs win with 40 minutes left!

I was very close to putting the £500 on a Tottenham win but i was persuaded not to, so i didn't(mainly because i wasn't watching the game, i was watching Stoke)

5 minutes later Tottenham were 2-1 up

I had decided to do the same but forgot that the Rubin game was starting earlier than the rest. so i was late for that and i replaced it with Schalke (lucky me).
put 10 pounds and got 20. my account was running dry because of the Manchester teams screwing me for 2weeks. so am doing a refinancing by playing it safe.

Good Luck.
But rarely do all 'big' Teams (in their home leagues) all win after playing mid week Europe games at least one draws especially those that are away.

peterattheboro · 30 Sep 2011 at 15:35

Yeah I spy Everton winning or drawing. Can't see Liverpool winning. I am however reluctant to bet on it. I'll stick one win for Everton and a draw on my accumulators.

lee32uk · 30 Sep 2011 at 17:10

over 2.5 goals

Kettering v Kidderminster
Arbroath v Cowdenbeath
Stirling v Brechin
Berwick v Annan Athletic
Coleraine v Donegal Celtic
Prestatyn Town v Llanelli

£5 @ 15.59 pays £72.97 plus stake

Brave.....as Brechin are my club, I'd never bet on them! Could be a few goals in it cos we're leaking them like nobodies business! Would like to see a city win. Risky one with Arbroath and Cowden though. cautious top of the table clash might finish in a stalemate. Good luck though

Scotland at 4/1 in the rugby isnt that daft IMO. They should lose but 4/1 for them to win is a bit much.

Similarly Italy at +13 against Ireland at 10/11 isnt bad value.

I'm going big on West Brom to win away at Sunderland @9/4. I might just add it to an accumulator, i'm not sure yet but it jumoed off the page at me.

Sycho · 1 Oct 2011 at 02:22

That's a good bet ^^ also Barnsley to beat Coventry might be worth a go at 2.25.

What do people think of Spurs vs Arsenal? goalfest?

Check my Silverpaw predictions it has ten goals in it and spurs will win though i never bet on a derby. Because it is usually full of surprises.
i have not yet made may mind for today's bets
