this is one of the more interesting and enjoyable threads i have read on big footy.keep it going gang , and good luck.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

OK sweet. I put 20 on Arsenal, and the other 20 on Cleveland to beat Detroit in the NBA. Cavs were at 1.20, Arsenal at 1.45.

Got up on both.

But not sure what to put my $24 and $29 on......any ideas?

 

[nobbyiscool]

arsenal to beat middlesborough at $1.45 (i'm not actually too confident on this one)
milan to beat palermo at $1.44
inter to beat napoli with draw no bet at $1.33 (odds shortened from $1.40 as i was making the bet )
juve to beat regina with draw no bet at $1.28

and chucked the remaining $3 into a multi with all those 4 teams to win straight out, as well as real madrid to beat sevilla - risk, to be sure... but any game where real are paying $2.50 - get on it! multi is paying $18.11

i've put 20 on real madrid at "half ball" (team can win or draw) at $1.48... i can't understand why real's odds are so poor. yeah, they've been a bit crap this season (particularly in champions league)... but in la liga, they've won their last 3 and sevilla have lost their last thre...

ok, mixed results overnight... in short

arsenal beat 'borough, turning $17 into $24.65
juve and reggina drew, which returned my $17 to me
milan beat palermo, turning $17 into $24.48

inter went down to napoli, costing me $17.

then when the arsenal money was reinvested, the half ball bet on real came good, turning $20 into $29.60

and obviously the multi failed.

so bottom line - i was on $71.97 last night. now i'm on $76.70.

now i've gotta find something to punt on

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

D4E, I've actually built my account with one lot of bets to $40, but lost the other ones like you.

What do you think of splitting up the $40 into seperate $20 bets again?

Yeah I think that's a good idea. I'll do the same and split the bet in half, gives me room to breath if I lose one bet.

As we go deeper into the AFL season it will become easier and easier to pick the sure bets.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

If I get to a combined total of $60 i might split it into 3 seperate bets once again as well, but I probably won't split it anymore after that.

 

[PHX]

Good to see some success happening here now. Keep it up.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

I'm tempted to put some of my money on the Netball haha.

Adelaide T'Birds vs some New Zealand side, it is live on OneHD as well at 5pm so tempting to bet and then watch.

Thunderbirds are faves at 1.42

The game is in New Zealand though, not sure if the away difference means much in netball but I would be wary of that.

There is another game of netball with the Swifts massive unders against some team I have never heard of. They are $1.12 against the Northern Mystics who have the same amount of wins and losses as them.

I am wary of trusting horses with my money, let alone women .

hahahaha too true.

Might stay away from the netball....impatience probably doesn't go well with betting, I want to find something to bet on!

 

[tazlgnd]

deecan chargers will win tonight
massive overs at 1.87
undefeated team who have beaten better teams than this so far.

 

[Ron]

Ok going for something pretty short here, but they should win.

USA to beat Austria in the Ice Hockey.

$74.66 @ $1.09

$1.09 is pretty good considering it is $1.01 on tab.

 

[Ron]

Yeah i did see that.

Thats why i love betfair, way better odds.

Now all i need is those damn yanks to win, game is about to start

won with 3 balls to spare.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Fell in a hole last night, lost $24 betting on some Danish team who were supposedly hot favourites. They got pumped so thats the last time I consider betting on some weird soccer eague.

Got my last $28 on Miami to beat Atlanta in Miami in the NBA today.

Odds at 1.48, they should win, Atlanta have not won a playoff game away from home since 1997.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Ok, so I'm splitting my $35 into 2.

Bet1: $17
ManU to beat Middlesbrough @ $1.40

Bet2: $17
Houston series win over Portland in the NBA @$1.15

1st vs 2nd last. ManU should cruise, and great odds courtesy of ManU being away.
Houston lead series 3-1, with 2 away wins. Should be too strong at home to clinch it.

lol Looks like I'm redepositing.

Ok going to go the Ice Hockey route again tonight.

Russia to beat Switzerland

$81.38 @ $1.23

 

[musha_13]

Decided to start this -

Bet 1
Ice Hockey - Russia to beat Switzerland
$20 @ $1.22

 

[Kahuna]

Good luck guys, I would of put my money of Canada against Slovakia but probably would of been lower odd's.

 

[Ron]

I did look at that one, but Slovakia and Switzerland are pretty similar in terms of ability, but Russia is a better team than Canada.

But anyway atm Russia are $1.22 and Canada are $1.21 so pretty much the same.

Guess we'll find out in a couple of hours anyway.

 

[2121]

15 on barcelona into a draw between northhampton and mk kileny odds off 5.20 or something returning 79.20

 

[Dingster]

Bet1: $17
ManU to beat Middlesbrough @ $1.40

1st vs 2nd last. ManU should cruise, and great odds courtesy of ManU being away.

I hope you're right, but this is a danger game for us. Boro haven't lost at home since December. Their overall record is played 20 won 8 drew 8 lost 4. I agree that we should win, but we will probably rest players with crucial games against Arsenal midweek.

 

[Ron]

I think my money on the Ice Hockey is gone. Switzerland are all over Russia atm, they have had at least 3 times as many shots, and the damn ruskies pretty much live in the sin bin.

oh well.
