The top screen was from Bet Angel and the bottom one from my Betfair account. Any idea why those two unmatched bets with ridiculous odds showed up when I placed my bets?

how do you find bet Angel? I've been reading/review for ages and tempted to give it a go.

It's good but try Betting Assistant by Gruss. Just as good and cheaper if you go on to buy it.

I bet all of those who backed Suarez for the golden boot are livid, they're probably praying RvP gets injured.

I've never even thought about betting on number of corners etc. is it something you do often? What factors do you consider beforehand?

I wussed out tonight. Stuck £2000 on Bayern at 2.14 before the game. 5 minutes in I decided it wasn't wise betting so much against Barca even in their good form and cashed out at no loss/profit. Regretting that choice now!

wooft - that's a stack of cash!

Corners bet was just something that I do every once in a while. Look at the wingers - robben and ribery for Bayern - Gomez in the middle. It was always going to be played down the wings etc so the corners looked good

Barca+Real both to qualify is around 125/1 or so apparently, go on you know you want to put a fiver on it.

nah - no chance. Can't see Bayern and Dortmund NOT scoring over in Spain which leaves Barca needing at least 5 goals and Real need at least 4 for ET and 5 to win.

1000-1 maybe but 125-1 is rubbish.

Good old Estonian footy..

FC Infonet II @ EVS Match Handicap -1 Live

JK Tallinna Kalev II @ 13/10 Match Handicap +1 Live

Stake: £15.00 Potential Returns: £69.00

3-0 and 0-10 at half time

4-0 and 1-18. Yes, that's the score, not the odds!

Martynt74 · 26 Apr 2013 at 09:26

I've never noticed the Estonian cup on Betfair, although to be fair thats all i use.

On a side note, i could bloody kiss David Luiz for that last minute winner!

el_dazza · 26 Apr 2013 at 12:10

Those were league games! Keskeraskond were promoted from tier 5 last year but are dreadful. To lose by that many to Kalev's reserve team at home is shocking. Bet365 and Hills pulled the game off their sites when it went 0-7.

Russinating · 27 Apr 2013 at 19:35

Dutched every score up to 2-2 in the Newcastle/Liverpool game and they go and score 6 without Suarez. Just my luck.

AndrewNR · 28 Apr 2013 at 16:37

Got a free £5 match deposit from Sky Vegas.

Turned the free £5 + my £5 deposit into £13 on Monopoly Plus... spent a bit more then put:

£6.20 on Arsenal v Man U to be < 3.5 goals @ 1/2
£5.00 on Arsenal v Man U to be < 4.5 goals @ 1/7

Currently 1-0 after 36 mins, no doubt it will end 1-4.

This time next year Rodney...

I've been doing a lot of in play betting of late, something I don't usually touch but if you have bit to play with you can rack up quite a lot in a short amount of time. I tend to look at teams that are in the second half and are 2-0 up, I asses the current stats and what their current league position is and recent form and then wack £50 on them to win. I usually make between £5 and £10 return, obviously you need to be speedy as the odds get worse as the time ticks but it seems quite beneficial for small winnings that add up.

I've had a few squeaky bum moments but haven't lost any money yet

Maccy · 29 Apr 2013 at 17:26

I just find random inplays that have recently started, check recent form, and then lump on over 0.5 first half goals. Made a few quid from that recently.

Got both teams to score for Villa-Sunderland tonight, lumped that!

Pighardia · 29 Apr 2013 at 17:30

Well, I bet small to win big, so I do the opposite....look for a team 1-0 down and weigh up their chances of turning it around.

Don't really bet the stakes needed for in-play to be really worthwhile tbh.

I had a tenner on Spurs to beat City the other week when they were 1-0 down.
