The 2013-14 betting thread! **Spoilers**

[Suarez7]

Yeah, a player so injury prone that he's made 67 appearances in the League for Arsenal in the last 2 seasons. A player who scored 14 in 32 for Arsenal last season finishing 11th in the top scorers list. A player who is only just reaching his peak.

Yes, he will need to score around 18 to give me a run for my money this season. That is why he's a 40-1 poke!

You should go on Betfair laying 40-1 shots. You're obviously wasted on here.

Just pointing it out man, don't like seeing people waste money.

Villa to beat Arsenal tomorrow at 15/2. I've got a £20 free bet to use up on Skybet, and thinking of that

Need to find some stats on 1st and last goalscorers before the Premier League starts. Anyone know of any good websites for stats?

I think I'll be doing a 1st scorer AND last scorer Lucky 15 every weekend. I'll follow the same 4 players every week.

Decided on Lukaku (4-1), Walcott (9-2), Soldado (9-2) and Kagawa (8-1). Have done a 1st and last scorer Lucky 15 on all 4 and will do every week. I'll have to perm them when their teams play each other.

Surely you want players who're likely to play every game if you're backing the same people every week?

I'm not too bothered really as the players that will always play are too short in the betting.

Just need a bit of luck now. I don't mind if they play or not as they get classed as non runners.

I've done Anelka (9/2), Walcott (4/1), Hernandez (6/1), Carroll (5/1). 50p e-w trebles and a quid e-w acca.

As for teams:

Liverpool 4/9
West Brom 13/10
Crawley 5/4
Swindon 7/5
Exeter EVS
Bristol Rovers 11/5

Usual 50p 4, 5 and 6 folds.

Please tell me you did

 

[Pighardia]

I did. Long way to go yet though....

If you can get evens on Arsenal/Draw on the double chance then I'd be running for cover by taking that. We always concede late, and Arsenal will kick the door in now.

 

[fozzybear]

As ever, the 17-2 shot in my accumulator is winning and my other 3 at 5-2 are less aren't. Always the same.

150 quid coming your way mate, well done

I didn't just do Villa, I got greedy and put it in a double

I didn't do Villa separately...the reason I went quite towards the end, was that I got greedy and instead of just doing Villa, I put Soton in as well, so I was sweating on them!

I really don't get decimal odds yet...need to work it out some time.


Btw, it was £492, as they don't let you keep the stake with a free bet

 

[el_dazza]

You can change to fractions on Skybet

Oh THAT was your free bet! Got quite lucky there with Southampton then

 

[Pighardia]

With 5 minutes to go, I was shouting at myself "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DO VILLA?!!"

Walsall screwed me out of a fair bit today

Good day for me today. Lost £240 and every bet I put on at the bookies, however £120 of that was free bets and all bets were matched at betfair for a £99.41 profit.
