mid week footy

holdemfoldem

yep its very early but im sure a few of you hadn't the best weekend.. i certainly didn't;)

anyway as i mentioned in the one of the other threads hull are 15/2 to win and 17/10 win or draw against chelsea on wednesday. could be room for a little bet there seeing as chelsea haven't exactly impressed in their last two matches and hull have been punishing mid divisions.

Any thoughts on the other matches? manu, arsenal, celtic, liverpool, ac milan, seville all seem to be safe but with what happened over the last few days i think i'll be havin a good look at each match and leavin some alone.

Was the weekend gone that bad? Have seen a few comments saying that. All the league leaders in England and Scotland won bar Chelsea (costing me a few quid I might add). Even laid Chelsea off for a draw to compound matters lol

Dr Jan Itor

I had 4 seperate acca's on the weekend - each one ruined by one team:

utd in one, reading in one, livingston in one and valencia in one yesterday to try and recoup saturdays losses!!

not a great weekend for me!

redfan

i couldnt imagine man u droping more points and at home but at 2/9 in pp . you would be talking major lumping.
somthing about mid week premiership and early kick offs on a sat always go wrong for me . even when picking the favorites lads.

alot of people had accum's go wrong this weekend, manu alone would have cost people and im sure alot of people would have taken reading as well.. also with the chelsea match alot of people went for chesea or handicapped them one way or the other so in other words if you did three well researched four match accums this weekend you probably lost each one. i also had alot of doubles go bad ie arsenal/ portsmouth.. arsenal/ bolton.. manu/ hull.. hull/ reading

anyway wednesday looks a bit better but yeah 2/9 manu aint the best. mite take to win both half's or -1 for odds sake

dsmythy

If yous think 2/9 for United is the wrong price then you should back it anyway. Even if your putting on 20 or something, if you're so sure of them winning then look at it as being nearly a pint paid for by the bookies.

Personally i think the price is about right, for the bookies, so i wouldn't be backing it myself.

Have looked at tuesdays bets so far and some fairly good prices in league 1 and 2 matches. Have 15 picked between prem, championship, league 1/2. wil mix them up with 50euro and hope will get some results

Agreed, I am ignoring the Prem this week and looking further down the coupon. Brentford away to Chester @ 5/4 for me. Chester haven't won in seven and although Brentford seem like draw merchants this season I think they can win away here for a chance to go top of the league

holdemfoldem

had a quick look myself.. birmingham 13/8 , leicester 5/4, mk dons 13/10... all looking good so far

d-gal

Have them 4 teams already, scunthorpe 19/10 and tranmere 21/10 also very generous bets

holdemfoldem

decided to keep tomorrow and wed seperate.. and have taken your suggestions on board..

MK Dons 13/10
Leicester 5/4
Scunthorpe 19/10
Birmingham 13/8
Brentford 5/4 = trebles, fourfolds and small acc.. Total 7.50

surprised by some of those odds ie scunthorpe V oldam ( who are favs but have only one win against second last in last six games )

GL lads

Trampas

Spurs 15/2 away and 9/5 double chance seems good to me.

All that goes with having a new manager.

redfan

newcastle 10/11 at home tonight good odds
must win game lads. baggies poor away forum too havnt beat magpies in donkeys years
i think newcastle in duff and martins have the makings of a home win there tonight ..

mike65

Looking at the Championship ties, they are all tricky in my view. Either similair form sides playing each other or the favourite away or the home favourite in variable form.

A very small stakles treble could be Brum, Wolves/Swansea +2.5, Sheffield Utd @13/1

League One

Peterborough, Millwall, Mk Dons, Scunthorpe @19/1

League 2

Brentford, Exeter, Wycombe, Shrewsbury @10/1

Mike

Warper

Accum

Everton to beat Bolton - 9/5, Everton are improving lately and Bolton woeful
Chelsea to beat Hull - 1/2, Cmon seriously
Villa to beat Blackburn - 4/6, saw Blackburn at home on Sat - very bad
Lyon to beat Sochux - 8/11 (you can get them at 4-5, this is top against bottom in the French Ligue 1 - unless im missing something this is a good price)

Pays 11-1 Boyles

jacool

hi all,
i pick 4 - 3 come up - you have been warned !!
last weekend it was Villarreal, your job is to pick out the 1 wrong in these 4 !

WBA +1 goal 5/6
Wycombe 8/13
Crystal Palace 8/13
Wolfsburg(Ger) 1/2

and for a five-timer add in
Lincoln 6/5

this gives a 6/1 four timer and an almost 15/1 five timer !!

Trampas

2 doubles for me

Newcastle and Shrewsbury

D/R and Wolves

Just under 2/1 each

dotsflan

just one bet for me and thats bury to bt bradford @ 5/2 PP i just think that the price is to big should be a 7/4 or 15/8 shot in my book:pac::pac:

Bubs101

Have gone for the treble of Man Utd, AC and Napoli at above evens.

Napoli look like the bet of the weekend for me. They are unbeaten at home including a win over Juve I tipped two weeks ago and 3rd in the league playing a team that have yet to pick up a point on the road who sit at the foot of the table. 1/2 widely available

jArgHA

lumped on bordeaux at around 2/5

d-gal

Lot of unlucky losses for me, hopefully 2mro more fortunate

Aidric

I'm sorry I didn't back Newcastle earlier, I fancied em to get a result tonight.

mike65

Fail

Exeter were thrashed 6-1, Brum couldn't score agsainst QPR, etc etc *shakes head*

Mike

Dave!

Man Utd, Celtic, AC Milan, and Lazio

€20 returns €109. What ye think?

Any other good accums? Reasonable ones! I'll put another €20 if there's anything good...

BTW if this bet comes in, that's about a week's wages for me I normally only put on €5 or €10, being a student an' all...

d-gal

5 bets: 25euro

1. Man city, man utd, liverpool, villa 7/1
2. add celtic 10/1
3. AC Milan, lazio, napoli 4/1
4. Add lyon 7/1
5. 9 teams together 80/1

€5 each bet

redfan

ac milan?
id be hesatant there
ronaldihno out plus a few others
goal.com reveiws read the article there

holdemfoldem

Ac have plenty of strength in depth are on great form and should be far too strong for Siena. Their midfield looks a little light but you're still talking about Emerson, Kaka and Ambrosini. All better than Siena.

redfan

true but milan are simalar to the likes of liverpool. poor against low teams and then turn it on in big games ie 1.0 v inter last month

ps dont forget the north of england hull and places like that have very bad weather . coould be a factor in the games.
overall arsenal at home tonight at 4/6 is a great price .. im lumping there

Bubs101

That was true last season but I'm not so sure about this one. It wasn't normally true of them. They also have much better players than Pool and the bad teams in italy are so much worse than the bad teams in England.

Still tipping Napoli. Great value

Dave!

How's about United, Napoli, and Juventus, €20 returns €68?

not a bad bet.. kinda wish i had that instead of mine.. one of the english three bound to F*" up

Lads, i've got a 100 euro free bet from boyles. It has to be a single football bet. Because its a free bet, i don't get the stake back, so take that into consideration.

I'm thinking either Ronaldo to score first tonight, for a bit of value.. 7/2

Or City to beat boro away 8/5 (more likely, but boro are horrible to bet against)

Any other ideas?

redfan

man city pus 1 4/11 and man u 2/9 in a 100e double is a stady bet.
man city plus 1 covers a draw.. should be grand.

Gone Drinking

Has to be a single, can't be a double or an accum. Unfortunately.

Need something with a little value aswell, as the free bets stake won't come back with the winnings (if there are any!), eg: 3/1 will pay 300, not 300 + the 100 bet.

redroar1942

Had a five team multi on betfair

ManU win
Liverpool win
Villa win
Chelsea lay
Arsenal lay

Comes in at a shade over 22/1

Fulham v Wigan => away win. Good odds

Tevez hasn't started in ages, so I would expect him to do so tonight (he bloody better!) in which case he's 4/1 for 1st goalscorer or 10/11 (same as Berb) anytime.

Wait and see the lineup though

i would always go with anytime scorer purely because anything can happen ie opposing team peno or a defender goal from a corner etc.. at least with anytime you should have 90 mins in which to win your bet

Was looking at Wigan aswell, good price alright but they've lost their last three games.. then again, they're due a win.

According to the radio tevez is starting tonight but i'll wait and see. I hate this! so many options

I know anytime is the sensible bet to make, if im going for a goalscorer but its a free bet and well no guts no glory!

I'd have to agree holdemfoldem. First goalscorer leaves too much to luck.

Go Arsenal at 4/6. Nice return and I'm convinced Spurs won't pose a threat tonight.

why did i take 4/9 on arsenal? stupid PP:rolleyes:

Bubs101

You could wait for the weekend, could be something a shade tastier like a potentially rejuvinated Spurs at home to Pool

as its a free bet pick whatever selection bet the €100 on boyles, lay it on betfair no matter what result you have guranteed yourself a profit.

I think that Arsenal will take the lead on 55 minutes or so but that Tottenham will fight back at huge odds for big shock. :eek:
