Football betting

Just thought I'd share an idea that I've had and have been using since the start of the season every week. I really don't know why I didn't do this years ago, it's earning me a few quid lol.

It works like this. Take Che£$ki, Liverpool and United. Put on the following bets:

3 x £1 singles
1 x £1 treble
£0.40 Patent (7 lines)
£0.50 Trixie (4 lines)
£0.40 Doubles (3 lines)

It'll cost you £10 in total every week. All you need is for 2 out of 3 teams to win and you'll more or less get your stake back, if all 3 win then you're looking at around a £10 profit. Over the course of a season you will lose every now and then but the wins will outweigh the losses by far.

Should any of the three play each other then I personally leave that bet and choose to bet on another 'banker' like Real Madrid or Barcelona in the Spanish league. You really can't go wrong with this bet.

Hardly a waste of money. The idea of betting is to make a profit, using the above betting system I started off with £10 and now have £58 in my account. By the end of the season I'll guarantee that I'll be over £100 in profit. I'd rather place a bet that's likely to come in rather than place money on a long shot that's unlikely to come in that'll give me a bigger return.

That's the mistake that so many people make, and why the bookies make so much cash.

Lol, my credit rating is pants...I couldn't borrow a fiver let alone £100,000 lol

And the difference between betting on Celtic every week and placing the bets I've detailed above is that the return is better and that you only have to have 2 out of 3 results come in to get your stake back give or take a pound or two.

Doing that bet means you are betting every weekend, and to make only £100 as a result over an entire season is a bit of a wasted effort, considering how much money you could be making.

Predicting 4 or 5 results isn't as hard as it sounds, people just need to look at the teams and not the odds. Granted a lot of the time it doesn't come in but one will eventually, and you get plenty of goes with £10.

I picked the £100 figure out of the air...and I did say over. Currently I'm £48 in profit and only 8 out of 38 matches have been played. If half of those 30 matches left are winners then that's an extra £150 in the kitty. It all depends on whether all 3 bankers come in at the same time.

Have a look at the wins for The top 3 sides over the last few seasons:

2007/2008

1 United 27
2 Che£$ki 25
3 Arsenal 24

2006/2007

1 United 28
2 Che£$ki 24
3 Liverpool 20

2005/2006

1 Che£$ki 29
2 United 25
3 Liverpool 25



I haven't got access to the results for those seasons but it's not a great stretch to realise that given the amount of wins during a season for the top 3 there'd be a fair few quid in the kitty at the end of each season if I'd thought about doing these bets back then.

And the beauty of it is that you can start off with just £10. I'm currently out of work at the moment but if I was working I probably would have doubled my original stake or maybe even stick £50 on the thing to start off with.

It's not going to earn you a fortune but it will earn you a decent profit.

As long as you have plenty of patience and are content with your money growing little by little then it seems a decent thing to do on the side.

It's just I don't have much patience and like to see instant results, it's why I never do accumulators over 2 days if I can help it.

Yup, I never said it was a get-rich-quick scheme but you're better off putting your money on an Evens (or one that's close to it, give or take) gamble such as the one I'm suggesting each week rather than putting it on an accumulator, odds-on favourite (such as Celtic winning every week) or a long shot.

I'm going to carry on doing it anyway, just thought I'd share my idea so that others could benefit too
