rocket_scientist Posted March 17, 2018 Report Posted March 17, 2018 Can't believe Juve tonight. Cost me a fortune in potential returns. I watched it too. Bastards. Ok let's go again. £10 on Roma (8/15) and Dortmund (4/9). Quote

Ok let's go again. £10 on Roma (8/15) and Dortmund (4/9). But also shows you how hard football betting can be. That's a result for the bookies as well as Napoli. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 17, 2018 Report Posted March 17, 2018 But also shows you how hard football betting can be. That's a result for the bookies as well as Napoli. True. I've done a tenner on Lazio (4/11) & Roma as well. I'll pull in this one to our spreadsheet if Dortmund suffer a hangover from their exertions in Austria Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 After 2 bets: - BB 100%, RS 50% Balance (between us) = +£4.65 I bet most days that end in y so you decide when you want your next pick. Tuesday has a reasonably big card to choose from. Off and running... Quote

Tuesday has a reasonably big card to choose from. Off and running... From Tuesday's card I'd pick Shrewsbury - good away record, and going up against Northampton who have Ash Taylor playing for them. Better than even money at the moment so a departure from my other picks but some of the "nailed on" teams in terms of prices seem a bit off to me. Quote

Better than even money at the moment so a departure from my other picks but some of the "nailed on" teams in terms of prices seem a bit off to me. The beauty of good odds picks like that - and Shrews is a great value bet at that price (5/4) - is that we can risk less for a better return. Doubled with Dunfermline away to the hapless hopeless Brechin @ 2/5. Fiver on it. Edit: Typo. Dunf 4/9. £16.25 back hopefully. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 So tempted to back Tiger Woods to win the Arnold Palmer this weekend but picking a golf tournament winner is a bit of a lottery. He's 13/2 after a good first round. Tied 5th in the end following a 2nd place the week before. Lump your money on him for the Masters at 10/1. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 I love a challenge Rocket so keen to try your system. My first £2.50 double this weekend is going on Schalke to win away to Wolfsburg and Hearts to beat Thistle at Tynecastle. Both are 23/20 shots which if successful will get me back £11.56. So tempted to back Tiger Woods to win the Arnold Palmer this weekend but picking a golf tournament winner is a bit of a lottery. He's 13/2 after a good first round. Good shooting loon, £9.06 up after one double. The home came in a lot easier than the away but great start, 2 x odds against. Keep us posted of your second double picks and your stake. Let's see who's the most in profit come May. 10/1 not enuf to tempt me. Tiger was rusty this weekend but great to have him back. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 Keep us posted of your second double picks and your stake. Let's see who's the most in profit come May. I'm going £5 double on Ayr away to Albion Rovers tonight 2/5 and Dunfermline to beat Brechin 4/9. Possible £10.11 return. Tomorrow the same on Liechtenstein 7/10 to beat Andorra and Macclesfield away at Maidstone 6/4. Possible return on that one is £21.25. Never thought I would ever find myself cheering on Liechtenstein. Quote

Coincidence, my mate picked Ayr and Dunfermline is my pick. Dunno which bookies you use or whether the prices have come in but I got 4/9 on Ayr and 9/20 on Dunf on McBookie. I tend to stick with bet365 or them as they usually are in amongst the best odds. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 After 3 bets: - BB 67%, RS 67% 33% NOD. Balance (between us) = -35p Saturday next. Quote

Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Going for Mark Selby each way for next week's Snooker Players Championship on ITV4. Won't meet O'Sullivan til Final so 1/2 odds 1-2 at (7/1) given how badly The Jester from Leicester has played all season is a risk worth taking. Selby is struggling for a bit of form Seabass. I watched a bit of the Rocket last night and he looks untouchable at the moment. He's down to just 5/2 for the World Championship. Not much money to be made from him. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 So far so good I hope you continue it tonight cos inspired by your picks, I've put Lichtenstein at evens in a double with Wigan tonight. Plus a treble on three teams I've never heard of from the Italian and German lower leagues. The reason I'm backing Lichtenstein is because 1. One of their club sides beat Sevco 2. Andorra are shite 3. Lichtenstein are at home, but most of all 4. You backed them at 7/10 so evens is better value and you're lucky so I'm having some of that Quote
RicoS321 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 The reason I'm backing Lichtenstein is because 1. One of their club sides beat Sevco Progres were Luxembourgian I think... Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Progres were Luxembourgian I think... Fuck you're right. Knew it began with L. From some wee country I've never been to, and probably couldn't locate on a map. But reason 4 will bring it home. Never betted on an international friendly before. And probably never will again after the 0-0 tonight. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 you're lucky so I'm having some of that Aye, nae giving up the day job just yet. Looked at Wigan and thought the stuffing may have been knocked out of them by the FA Cup defeat at the weekend but time will tell. International friendlies are a bloody minefield though. Nothing on the whole card that I looked at and thought that's a cert. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 After 3 bets: - BB 67%, RS 67% 33% NOD. Balance (between us) = -35p Saturday next. Apologies RS, was too bold with that call. Got a couple of free bets so have put two trebles on for the golf today: Grace to beat B Watson Cabrera Bello to beat Kodaira Aphibarnrat to beat Reavie. returns just under 30 quid Pieters to beat Final Fleetwood to beat Poulter Oosthuizen to beat Duffner. returns 27 quid. Neither likely to come in but I'm loaded with the flu so gives me more interest/something to shout at the tv about. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 No apologies required nor due. It was a good pick at a good price. I've found a couple of lovely nailed on teams for Saturday already. I got the same price for them as I got for Berliner AK 07 tonight, currently 2-0 up away from home, a team I'd never heard of and I lived in Deutschland for six years! Got KFC Uerdingen 05, another team I've never heard of, in a couple of trebles with them, 1-0 up already after 16 minutes Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 International friendlies are a bloody minefield though. Fuckin Andorra....they'd only won 5 of 147 internationals. 6 now! Quote
SeeBass Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Kiriakov, January 29th at Paddy Power I put £12.50 e/w on Ronnie O'Sullivan (7/1) 1/2 odds 1-2 to win World Championships. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Kiriakov, January 29th at Paddy Power I put £12.50 e/w on Ronnie O'Sullivan (7/1) 1/2 odds 1-2 to win World Championships. Aye, that's better value Seabass. Higgins is the only guy that disna seem to be scared of him. I would expect one of the two of those to win it but it's a pretty grueling tournament, mentally, over two weeks so who knows? Quote
SeeBass Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Kiriakov, a cheeky fiver on O'Sullivan to beat Ding 6-3 (9/2) tonight!!!!! I had him £12.50 e/w (8/1) 1/2 odds 1-2 both years he won World's in 2012 and 2013. RIDICULOUS PRICE second year after he took 12 months out out and destroyed field. Had him twice out of last three years he won Masters in 2014 and 2016 against Selby and Hawkins again both (7/2) which is still cracking value for a player of his ability. Not sure why we didn't have the guy when playing Perry 2017. Quote
