Good lord…I had a bit of stake on a Braga and Lisabon parlay today. I went out for a ride when it was 1-1 HT Braga and now I check the final score 3-2 Braga but that was due to 3 consecutive penalties in the 79th and 2 in 90th minute (1 for Braga and one for Guimareas). Not sure which came first but FINALLY last minute penalty heroics go my way. Lisabon is up 2-0 so far looking so good. Hope it holds because a smaller part of the winnings here will be my ammunition for basketball tonight and the rest will be EPL tomorrow.
This weekend has potential to be tremendous, praying to Allah that it will not be tremendous losses!
Drogba only made the bench for chelsea. Just been down the battle cruiser for first half of Man U Chelsea, and it was a lively game. Did a bit of trading on Chelsea once they got hte goal (great goal it was too) and then got out before I got greedy!.
What did I say about Tottenham? And they are currently down 2-0 to Sunderland. Good thing I decided not to put heavy stakes in them. They will still cost me money but not nearly as much as I was originally going to put down. They can still come back…but I don’t think so. Yids aren’t exactly a storm from behind team.
I became wary about the Chelsea game too - ended up betting half of what I originally intended. Can’t be too greedy as you said or chasing the big score. Glad you were able to make some dollars today =)
Right now I have Man City as a close out game for a couple other decent size wagers.
lol yeah I deffo called the Man City game incorrectly.
After a good start trading ALL my bets lost! I had the Parma Fiorentina game down as unders, but for some reason didnt place the bet! So my only winning bet didnt get placed. Ho hum! Hope you guys did better than me!
I still don’t understand why you guys were all out against Man City. A fully fit squad due for a a series of revenge games (after losing to Everton 0-2) on the road (good odds) against like…3rd last in the league.
Tottenham was the only game that cost me on 2 separate bets (multiple match parlays) that were paying 700-1. Needless to say, that sucked. But that’s what happens when you place bets late at night and forget to hedge them. I had a bad feeling about Tottenham and slipped my mind I had them in both those wagers.
I still made out very, very well this weekend though. I need Santos FC to close out today’s wager but at this point it is just extra. I am pleased with the weekend’s results.
Back to Champions League. Bayern is underdog at 4.5-1 odds to win against Man U. I am …tempted.
I will also take a moment here to say “fuck you” to the Hornets. Losing to the Nets? Really?
I just really thought Burnley would be more opposition, especially at home, where they have put in some decent performances and Man C do blow hot and cold especially on the road. Ah well!
Commiserations on the Tottenham result spazzing you. Never fun when that happens.
That is a superb price for Munich, especially considering how awful Man U were against Chelsea at home. There are rumours that Rooney may play, and I can see it hapening and him being more of a hinderance due to fitness. Bayern currently 5.2 on Betfair, and the draw is at 4s! Deffo worth a punt.
Cardiff vs Forest on BBC2 right now, so a bit of afternoon trading is in order!
I took my winnings today from Barca and Inter and put it all on another wager - Boston Celtics decide to mail it in against the Knicks. Thanks >__<
Looking at international friendlies right now…Serbia is 4:1 underdog to Japan 0_o I am punting this one for sure.
I am going to put a medium stake on Bayern to win and hedge that with a larger stake on Rangers, Santos, and Flamengo.
just got buttfucked on the Man U game inrunning. Got greedy and instead of turning off my bot as usual, got silly and stung for a monkey! 2 weeks profits down the pooper. Ho hum!
just paid out 200 on my new car tax disc, so couldve down without that lol
Still FA cup this weekend, so plenty of chance to chase like a mofo!
I dont go anywhere near international friendlies these days after getting stung on Portugal v Kuwait many many moons ago. The wankers.
I was just about to back Munich to win the match at 450-1 before they got their first. Wouldve been a lovely trade, but there ya go! Good luck with your bets. How do you find hte south american leagues? From what Ive heard, there is more value, but I just dont know enough about them to get involved.
Serbia over Japan 3-0 today. Even if a friendly, the 4:1 odds as underdog made no sense at all.
Yeah…Munich took some money from me too but I am taking them for sure next week against Lyon. They owe me a winning game ;[
Yikes…2 weeks profit seems quite a bit. Hope you can recover some of that over the next couple days.
Benfica is 4.5:1 on the road against Liverpool tomorrow. I am putting a medium stake on Benfica because I hate Liverpool.
Do you mean information about the South American leagues or betting lines? Information wise there is not much…I bet by looking at rosters and whether the odds ‘make sense.’ Then lay a good size bet and pray that they don’t choke. The values on win/loss/tie are the same as the other leagues. I do not believe live betting is available on these games and I for sure would not touch it if it were.
Yeah…this week hasn’t been going very well for me betting wise. I win some games but the profit is lost on the other wagers I had and subsequently failed. I have a lot of money riding today so I might be joining you in that boat of losses by the time today is done…lol
Looks like the Benfica bet is down the shitter. I made a couple of points profit and shut down my bot and made cheesey chips. Happy days!
Yeah last nights loss was horrible. Havent lost that big in a while, and whenever I do its usually down to greed and not sticking to my system, which makes it even more disappointing. Ho hum, will stop me fucking around for a while at least, so its a good thing in the long run.
Im hoping Lyon win the whole thing as I have them in the sweepstake at work haha! Cant see anyone beating Barca tho really, especially with the final in Franco’s back yard.
Betfair do a lot of South American games in running, but I dont think there is too much liquidity.
Saturday is the start of a new betting week as always for me, so can consign this week to the bin. FA cup matches on terrestrial TV, but Im at work saturday which is annoying. You fancy anything in those? I can see the Yids doing it and the game being overs, but cant imagine there will be any value going.
Aaaaaand I have also lost what I made last weekend. Thanks to the New Jersey Devils stinking it up and Flamengo giving up a tying goal in the 90th. Not even a matter of greed - it was just both teams choking. I am betting against Brodeur all the way in the playoffs. This week was complete and utter ass rape.
I looked at the odds for FA - I intend to drop a lot of paper on this. Yids need to rebound from the stinker last week and Dafoe should be fit to start. Low value odds at home. Chelsea is at Villa with Drogba announced to start - decent odds as a road team considering how Chelsea looks on paper. Parlaying the 2 games gets 2:1 odds. There is no way I can’t take that.
Chelsea clearing Villa by a goal is netting 1:1, which is pretty good.
Scottish Cup has Celtic playing some scrub team meaning low value again - I may add it to my parlay.
We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. As of this moment, I am still hurting a bit. It’s one thing losing money but it is another thing to take repetitive gut punches all week long. Favourties blowing double digit leads in final minutes, losing to or giving up tying goals in literally the last minutes…not just one game this week but 8 times this has happened. That is not right!
Like you said, clean sheet this weekend so the plan is always to reverse the score =D
