one up. one to go

[Broken Gnome]

Went three games too far in the over 1.5 goals mega-line.

Plucked four result+BTTS across two trebles, but Bristol Rovers' 92nd minute equaliser at Exeter cost me any money out of it, 3 quid would've returned 136.

It really isn't fair at times. Most times.

I tried this again yesterday, 2.50 on and it was up in the 91st minute until ten man Annan equalised at Stenhousemuir. Would've been 160 this time.

Folk always say cashing out is for wimps, which I've taken to heart a bit, plus tracking a bet through an afternoon and realising long before full time that it's a loser has ways felt an unnecessary downer. In hindsight, should've really paid a bit more attention.

[Squealing pig]

On that bet365 boost salah played ball through went right to goalie never counted as a shot 💩

If you had placed the bet with Bet365 they would have paid out when Killie went 2-0 up

Aberdeen 13/10 at home to Hearts this weekend. Hearts team dropping like flies tonight.

Tempting but seen in the past teams who have just lost their managers are wounded animals and play without fear so I’ll be passing on that.

Nah just a hunch. He still lives in the UK apparently and I think he will feel it's his time to move on after the World Cup. Been linked with Villa many of times in the past, we shall see.

Hopefully you're right. Good luck.

[JamesHFC]

Gabriel Jesus is a yellow card away from a suspension. Nottingham Forest at home next week so I think he takes a tactical foul today incase he gets one next week then misses the Chelsea game the week after.

9/2 with Paddy Power. £40 on it.

[Johnny_Leith]

Got £120 up on Saturday and another £125 again tonight. Feel like my lucks finally turning.

[Tyler Durden]

Montrose away to Airdrie on Saturday, available at 13/5.

They beat Dunfermline last week albeit at home. And beat Airdrie 4-2 earlier this month. Airdrie not won in 5 or 6.

Not a cert by any means but I’d imagine Montrose will be closer to maybe 7/5 by Saturday afternoon, definite value bet.

1.30 Goshen steering job today

I’m keen to lay it (again) today. If it touches odds on I think I will.

Far from dependable, first time over fences, and first time over anything since February. Good luck Billy, might well turn up and show class, but nothing about today screams steering job to me.

[BILLYHIBS]

Been working well at home been schooled over jumps I am told

If you are really brave Sky Bet doing 5 Lengths 5/1 ��

Good luck

Would expect a lot shorter than 11/8 for a "steering job" particularly as the price is drifting and it's a gambling stable.
Obviously could very well win but not convinced it's as clear cut as you are implying.

As predicted Montrose now 7/5.

Of course they need to win the game but a single on the early price would now be in a profitable cash out position, pre game.

Always get those early prices if you can

Players to wear yellow laces to support gambling advert ban - BBC Sport (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63489735)


good on them i hope it takes off, ridiculous the amount of adverts for gambling :agree:

Forest Green Rovers are supporting the wearing of yellow laces as part of a campaign to stop gambling advertising and sponsorship in football.
League One Rovers are playing an FA Cup first-round tie away at South Shields on Saturday, live on the BBC.

Club owner Dale Vince told BBC Sport gambling in football "is uncontrolled, quite frankly, it's running away"


Match fixtures - clubs taking part in bold:
Glasgow City vs Hibernian (SWPL Cup Semi Finals)

good chance of Hibs winning now :cb:greengrin

Double on Dumbarton and Raith to score 2+ at 2.6/1.

Had two half decent big winners Wednesday and Thursday but My luck ended last night with Hibs. £50 at 8/5.

FA Cup today so no doubt a few coupon busters.

[Hermit Crab]

Done a daft FA cup bet BTTS and Win, ones in bold I've got to win.

AFC Fylde v Gillingham

Ebbsfleet v Halifax

Solihull Moors v Hartlepool

Chippenham v Lincoln City

Buxton v Methyr

Small stake, big return = No chance.

[HH81]

Don't know why Halifax odds so big considering they are in a higher league.

I do a small stake on every game in the scottish championship down to league 2 to have over 1.5 goals, 2 goals off last week and about 3 weeks ago there was only one game with under 2 goals and funny enough it was Dumbarton who won 1-0 at home to Bonnyrigg.

That bet will come in a few times a season.

Hearts are 10/1 to beat Rangers tonight.

16/1 for btts and hearts win.

Not to be sniffed at given how bad rangers are.

I certainly fancy both teams to score in this game at 19/20

I also think Blackburn are generously priced at 7/1 away to West Ham tonight who will likely make changes to their starting 11.

[Tyler Durden]

I also think Blackburn are generously priced at 7/1 away to West Ham tonight who will likely make changes to their starting 11.

It's a good price but it's probably West Ham reserves vs Blackburn reserves. Blackburn have Burnley at the weekend and will be likely to rest players, albeit their game's not til Sunday.

Maybe one to wait for team lines.

Shankland? From the penalty spot maybe. Can't see them being awarded too many of them at Ibrox.

Rangers win.

[WeeRussell]

Shankland? From the penalty spot maybe. Can't see them being awarded too many of them at Ibrox.

Rangers win.

Sadly he’s more likely to score a goal in a game than Hibs right now, penalties or otherwise. You’d like to think penalties at Ibrox might be more likely with VAR also..

But I agree, Huns win tonight.

I picked 20 games from the group stages - games that should be pretty solid picks - e.g., England vs Iran, Argentina vs Saudi Arabia etc.

£10 (as an alternative to joining a workplace sweepie) with odds at 2309/1...I figure even if a couple of the early ones come in, the cash-out option could be very nice indeed :greengrin

I have a 14 team accumulator like yours on the group stage too, also putting money on the first game and will roll it over to the next game if I keep winning until it's at a value I don't want to lose, about the only thing that's exciting me for the World Cup

And the 24/7 gambling adds that you see, everywhere.

And the 24/7 gambling adds that you see, everywhere.

It's not so much the ads for me, it's the 'tipsters' that are showing off their profits over recent spells. That's winnings that you were never involved in, the temptation is there to jump on the bandwagon, yet naturally the luck is about to turn and it's going to be loss after loss after loss...

Should really just chuck Twitter. Lots of great advice on there, but it ties into those gut v logic decisions that the Guardian article hints at, and for all the will in the world you're going to get those decisions wrong the majority of the time.

In fairness i consider most of those tipsters as ads anyway. Most big ones are paid by certain companies to consistently yse their websites for these bet builders etc, i know one personally and know he gets a substantial payment from a certain Irish betting company to posy tips using their website, betting the money he recieves so its effectively no risk betting for them. Gets given money to bet with, posts his decent wins after the fact and then posts obvious bet builders that get you almost nothing in return and give it thr "any win is a win" chat.

Betting should be open to all over 18, maybe 21, but it shouldnt br advertised whether thats TV ads, billboards, football ads, internet, youtube or tipsters.

Lukaku will score a few in the group stage 👍🏼

Out of their first two games.

[Sylar]

I've picked 20 group games with odds at 2902/1 and stuck £10 on. Being honest, if I get a handful of them coming in early doors and get a decent cash-out option, I'll probably take it and Christmas is covered!

First 2 are today: England to beat Iran, Netherlands to beat Senegal. :greengrin

Jeez, watching Kane is absolutely bloody infuriating. Even just wanting him to mildly look a goal threat and he spent pretty much the whole game - bar the assist - swanning about in midfield, at left back...

1/20 so far - I actually think my pick of the Netherlands to beat Senegal could be my trickiest one of the 20! My ignorance of Senegal might bite me.

Two decent teams on show here. Not sure Holland would be one of my sure things.

Loving the big bets with many teams.

I think Denmark or Germany is my risky one's for my 11 fold 28-1 £30 bet with £896 returns.

I put the 8 group winners also this morning with a 30-1 odds and £15 pound, £5 was from my free bet so just a tenner.

England

Argentina
France
Belgium
Spain
Brazil

I take it they don’t count him booting the player as a ‘tackle’ then? He definitely had multiple fouls.

[Johnny_Leith]

Going from OPTA sports who define a tackle as someone who wins the ball and comes out the challenge with control of the ball on the other end which imo is bull. He had fouls and also a couple tackles where the ball wasn't in his or the French players control.

Bet builder was 6/1 odds, last thing I'm waiting on was this being confirmed.

Hmm, that is the standard rules for tackles though

I got stung a few years back misinterpreting what they counted as a pass aswell. Annoying but all documented in the rules so not something they’ll relent on.

[flash]

I used to like a bet as much as anyone but betting on tackles made is starting to veer towards two flies on a wall territory.

First time I've really bet in tackles. My own fault for not doing research on the terminology probably. Nonsense though as I watched the game and Jacko was getting stuck in all over the place.

365 have refunded the stake as a goodwill gesture after my complaints.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I'm with you there. I rarely bet on anything other than results.

If anyone had a Saudi Arabia/Japan double, you are a better punter than me.

Absolutely no chance anyone still has a live acca after Saudi Arabia and Japan!

What constitutes a shot on target? Had Kane to have a shot on target in the first 10 mins at 7s, his effort on goal is being listed as a block! 🤔

[Mikey_1875]

Think it either has to be a goal, saved by the goalie or cleared by the last man behind or level with the goalie.

[WeeRussell]

Yeah if it’s blocked by someone standing right in front of him (as opposed to cleared off the line) it won’t go down as an SOT, whichever direction it was heading.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of then no bookie would be giving it unfortunately.

[WeeRussell]

[hibeesjoe]

Had a bet today and part of it was the Australian player Goodwin having 1 shot. It didn't matter if it was on target or not. He hits the ball, the keeper "saves" it and the ball goes out for a corner. Bet365 must have decided it was a cross as it never counted.

These bets that are decided by 1 persons interpretation are a waste of time and must be a massive winner for the bookies.

Seen people boosting their bet builders by adding in player pass numbers of late - any decent set of stats on that from a website?

Would imagine the odd full back or centre half could easily tally up a fair number, but seems a bit random if having to choose between 50, 70 or 90.

[Tambo]

My 8 fold group winners bet is doing my head in, very rare am I able to see what the cash out is.

It was 28 pounds this morning but it should be up a little now holland is settled.

England next please then France and Argentina tomorrow, I have fears over Belgium now and really would cash out if able to ASAP.

It's saying the France and Brazil group is suspended so no bets available for them I guess at the moment to win the group.

Playerstats.football is good but it’s not free. Gives you every metric you could want plus things like live alerts for fouls (ie you can get a notification if Declan Rice commits 3 fouls in a game). Around £35 per year

Whoscored is free but the stats are limited.

Pass markets (and player props in general) have become slightly more difficult now with the 5 subs rule.

Some of the bookies are simply “at it” with the cash outs. They’ll suspend one leg of your bet for no apparent reason, stopping your cash out.

Bet 365 is probably the most fair IMO, where cash out most closely resembles the actual live value of the bet

The cash out at the moment is £42 with a potential return of £483 but like I said I really can't see Belgium winning the group now.

Do fancy France and Argentina tonight though so will see how it goes.

[Tambo]

So after tonight that's 4 out of 8 group winners in for me.

After the France game my cash out was boosted by 5p yes 5p.

Argentina have just boosted it up to £68 pounds.

I have Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Brazil still to go with a 30-1 £15 pound bet which 5 was from a free bet.

The returns is a nice £483 but after the 2 games I have no faith in Belgium and its completely out their hands and Morocco should beat Canada.

In my situation I'm in any money is good but I really can't decide just yet.

I'm in a similar position. Can't see Canada beating Morocco but a Belgium/Draw double is around 8/1. I cashed out and put a wee wager on the double to soften the blow in case it happens. Profit's profit....

Back to the domestic stuff and it’s the Challenge Cup tonight through Saturday.

Two games on Saturday catch the eye. Queens Park at 7/10 at home to Montrose looks a good price to me. They’ve been flying recently and don’t appear to have any need to rest players.

Also Linfield away to Kelty at 19/20. Linfield drew home and away with RFS, who of course gave Hearts a good game twice in Europe. Kelty have been inconsistent this season and should be a level beneath Linfield.

Bit of a funny competition when you’re never certain how serious some teams will take it but decent prices IMO
