The all-new betting thread!

As Euro 2012 and the football season are now done and dusted, I think it's time to get a new one underway!

Remember this isn't just for football, share your wisdom and tips and hopefully between us we can mug the bookies for a nice sum as several of us did with the Estonian cup games a few weeks ago

The first game I have to point out is FC Twente vs UE Santa Coloma in the Europa League qualifiers tomorrow. UE Santa Coloma were the ANDORRAN league runners-up, and for some kind of reference of their skill level, the league winners lost 8-0 away at Valletta, the Maltese league winners yesterday. This could be a right mauling. Ladbrokes are offering 33/1 for 9-0, 66/1 for 10-0, 150/1 for 11-0 and 225/1 for 12-0, I'm having £2 on each.

Santa Coloma's record in Europa: 10/11 Lost 0-2 and 0-3 to FK Mogren from Montenegro, 11/12 lost 0-1 and 0-4 to Paksi from Hungary.

Hmm, interesting! Though they seem to have removed 12-0 now. Might play it safe(r):

el_dazza · 4 Jul 2012 at 16:16

I've done £4 on 8,9,10 and 11-0, and £2 on 12 and 13-0. Because 12&13 weren't listed i only got 100/1 :/

I'll be amazed if santa coloma score, in 4 attempts in europe they've failed and twente are way stronger.

opted for 9, 10, 11, 12 - 0. Didn't think i had any cash in my bet365 account but 2 quid mysteriously appeared so thought I'd punt 50p on each for the hell of it. c'mon 12 - 0 at 121/1

pingwing · 4 Jul 2012 at 19:38

Thought I'd join in with 8,9,10,11 and 12 -0 with silly out sides on 6-1 and 10-1 (just in case)

All fingers crossed for 10-1 at 150/1

(that's what happen with the 365 100% deposit bonus)

Russinating · 4 Jul 2012 at 19:43

Joined in as well with £1 on 7 to 12-0.

This better come up or I'm gonna look silly

I think we should get a decent run for our money against a bunch of goat herders. Twente are the kinda side that would expect last 16 at minimum, the other team just have a story to tell their kids/goats.

*shakes fist at pc screen* it better come up!

Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox over 10 tonight at midnight.(doing normal stake on this as i consider it a good bet not great.)

el_dazza · 4 Jul 2012 at 22:34

Another Euro game to watch out for: Renova are 9/5 to beat AC Libertas by 4 or more, Libertas got in by winning the San Marino cup.. says it all tbh

I do not even know how that didn't even end up as a refund, terrible terrible luck.

Greavesy · 5 Jul 2012 at 12:12

I was watching the baseball last night

Such a promising start

Im annoyed that theres only an over 2.5 goals for the Twente game.
Stuck £3 on a 12 game accumulator

I also have a feeling Twente willy only score 5 or 6

Looked up the score when i woke up, thats what i hate about baseball. 4-4 after 2 innings and still 4-4 after 9, its silly.

Looks like we got the odds on the Twente game at the right time, all the odds have shortened like crazy. 7-0 was 12/1, now 7/1. 8-0 was 20/1, now 12/1. 9-0 was 33/1, now 20/1. 10-0 was 66/1, now 33/1. 11-0 was 150/1, now 66/1. Almost half the odds on that lot.

they must have read this topic or theres been some alarming betting going on that have got them scared

if i had a chance i would have put a stupid bet for 1-0 because Twente is on my list of disappointing teams when it comes to goals! They either score 1 or 2 goals or make a ridiculous high score. I hate them for always being in extremes

33/1 for 1-0. Renova are 2-0 up after 14 mins

If anyone's interested Bet365 have handicaps up for the Twente game. -4.5,-5 on the Asian H/Cap is 7/10. I fancy Newi Cefn Druids to get stuffed at home to MyPa as well (1/3), Sportingbet very generous offering 21/10 for -2 there.

pingwing · 5 Jul 2012 at 17:25

Well the Elfsborg Floriana game looks to be high scoring with Elfsborg to be 4-0 up after 20 mins and Floriana down to 10 men, should have gone for better than 7-1 last night

el_dazza · 5 Jul 2012 at 17:31

11-0 Fc Twente is now just 28/1 :cool:

So glad I didn't wait til today to do it! 5-0 Elfsborg. If you guys want a MEGA value bet then here's one but be quick. Ladbrokes are offering 66/1 for the second half in the elfsborg game to have more goals than the first. It's 5-0 HT, so you need 6 in the second half. Away side are weak and down to 10, it's very very VERY good value that.
