Agree. Unfortunately, my brain is just as big a mug as my heart is!

I'm guessing this is aimed at me so I'll go into it a bit more;

I bet to win, not for fun.

I've never once bet with my heart.

I have no problem betting against Hibs if I think we'll lose. Let's face it, we will often have a better idea than the odds makers of form, injuries, mood in the camp etc. I remember when we played Elfsburg in Europe many years ago. The bookies clearly had the game priced incorrectly. A few of us piled on Elfsburg and it paid for us all to go to the away leg.

As much as it pains me I'll be rooting for Celtic tonight, £50 @ 23/10

Hope you win, but they do have a few injuries, Maeda and Vickers are out and with no chance of any kind of Europe even with a win, I wonder who he will rest?

I'm not sure that 23/10 is good enough value for me.:greengrin

Jolly Roger’s talking about going out with a win to end the campaign, but surely they’ll change the team up a fair bit with nothing to play for and a busy festive period including old firm game approaching.

Yeah I think they'll win.

Feyenoord playing for nothing tonight. They're coming 3rd regardless. I imagine they'll rest players.

Celtc playing for pride more than anything else. Shocking Champions League record, but a chance for a win tonight.

There could be a few goals in the Celtic game I reckon, 2 teams with nothing to play for, just go out and play football. I'd be looking at the goals or scorers markets if I was having a bet.

👍🏻

Fulham at 3/1 against a Newcastle team who are going to be depleted again and knackered on Saturday.

I'll give you a laugh, I went to put a bet on for tonight and noticed the bet still in my bet slip, I hadn't put it on. I remember I got a phone call just before I put it on and it went right out my mind.
I was cheering they *******s on too :faf:, It'll be a lesson learned I won't do that again.

Liverpool are fielding a weakened team but I still think 2/1 is big, £50 on for me.

Yeah I agree it seems too big. Even a weakened side is going to have Jota or Diaz, the likes of Jones, Gravenberch, Elliott etc in midfield.

I've gone Liverpool and Betis to avoid defeat plus Eintracht Frankfurt to win at Pittodrie. 2.2/1

0/3 for me there! Should really know better than backing teams that don't need to win - schoolboy stuff

Will go again tonight - Juventus again looking a good price away from home at Genoa.

Yeah Juve look a decent bet tonight, I'm on already at 2.00.

Raith are 5/1 to win at Tannadice.

For the 5th weekend in a row, i've backed Hibs again, odds of 2.40 (Ladbrokes with boost) are tasty.

I hope you backed them, I only got 4/1 but thanks for the heads up :aok:

He's on a fine run of scoring.

Betbuilder on Lundstrum &shinnie booked and Tavinnier anytime at 30-1👍

10ew Martinez for Inter, happy days.

Sitting in the pub with a couple of guys whose auntie went for a walk yesterday and fell down dead, puts things into perspective a tad. 😩

£50 single on Everton 11/10 £20 double Everton/ Newcastle @7.6/1

I have £25 on West Ham to win at Anfield tonight at 11/2. Why not, it’s a cup tie and both teams have made changes. They have a decent chance.

Cockney bawbags. However, the compulsory Rangers penalty came good for me.

93rd minute Bilbao goal brings up a nine team acca. £25 on wins £143.81. Hardly life changing, but it’s very satisfying when you win it so late. Conversely, I’ve had a few bets killed by very late goals recently.
