Never in doubt

£650 profit in the last three days, beats working

 

[bliss]

Yay! Thanks for that kcon!

PS, get that twitter account going!

 

[ChroniC]

yeah would like a quicker way of seeing these. Got lucky this time. Where did you discover that, just checking the traded graphs?

 

[Erich Kriegler]

I was just watching the market and it went crazy. Went from a few hundred matched to thousands in seconds.

 

[booyaka]

nice work.

 

[ChroniC]

There is a lot of money being moved around the AIK Falkenberg game, but I don't know how to read those graphs correctly.

 

[bliss]

From what I can tell, that kind of money can be normal for Scandinavian matches. It's not impossible that there is a fix, just extremely unlikely.

 

[ChroniC]

I took the bet and cashed out for a small profit. Not really interested in the game.

Gone for a crazy 9fold today @ 145/1

Swansea @ 1.40
Rotherham @ 1.61
Derby @ 1.66
Birmingham @ 1.80
Accrington Stanley @ 1.83
Milton Keynes Dons @ 1.90
QPR @ 1.85
Wolverhampton @ 1.72
Ipswich @ 1.90

Kcon, how much to you typically bet when you spot a fix?

 

[ChroniC]

It's generally not something people mention, including almost all betting sites, they use a points, or units system. Basically because when you lose, you don't want to admit your 1unit was £100 or a £1000 etc.

Simple answer is what you can afford to lose, I tend to do about 20% of my bankroll.

 

[bliss]

Hadn't thought of that.

 

[ChroniC]

Ahh just MK dons ruining my mega bet, by losing 3-1.

Should place your acca's on Betfair in case one loses.

I had a good day. 5 of 5 bets won. Pity I placed them all as singles though.

My betfair over 0.5 is continuing strong too. Started with £10 and betting all returns up to 50 bets in total with minimum odds of 1.1. 9/50 done, 41 to go.

 

[ChroniC]

QPR did it over in the last minute to draw anyway.

My tip for this evening is Man u, Real Madrid double. Hardly a money maker, but I think it's a fairly decent double @ 2.53

I'm eyeing up Fulham vs Simurq Zaqatala tomorrow, they are an average Azerbajan side that has apparently not finished higher than 4th in the past 5 seasons, never got past the quarter final of the cup, and lost every European game they've played. Fulham widely available at 1.33 (shorter than I normally bet but certainly acca material) and have won all 3 of their preseason games by at least 2 goals so far.

Could be worth a small handicap if the odds are worth it.

Sounds like an over 2.5 @ 1.6 then

I went for a lay on United last night at 1.68. Was a nice surprise when i woke up this morning.

Finally starting to build back up after a couple of dreadful weeks.

Lost bet #10 of my over 0.5 today. Dammit.
