Football Doubles

Gillington

Righto,I've €20 left in the account and I've been mostly doing doubles over the last few weeks so gonna just try it on a blog(after I gave up the last one!).So hopefully I stick with it.No system only thing is if I'm placing 2 or more seperate doubles,which I often tend to do,Ill make sure they're over evens so if one loses then the winner covers it.I also nearly always choose home teams and any leagues.No staking plan either.All feedback welcome!

Gillington

First off...

Bradford @ 4/7
Bradford v Darlington
Match Betting
Swansea @ 4/9
Swansea v Peterborough
Match Betting
Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 11.35

Going for Bradford,new manager,an away win against the league leaders last time out and a couple of decent new loan signing should be positive factors for the win against a side 9 points adrift at the bottom and with only 4 away points all season.

Swansea have the meanest defence in the Championship with 18 clean sheets and only 22 goals against.Peterborough havent won from home all season and have only scored 9 league goals away.Swansea unbeaten in 8 altogether and 5 at home.

Gillington

Millwall @ 1/2
Millwall v Hartlepool
Match Betting
Monchengladbach @ 8/11
Monchengladbach v Freiburg
Match Betting
Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 12.95

Millwall have gone on a decent run lately,since Stephens Day they have W7 D1 L1 in the league and held Championship side Derby to 2 1-1's.Theyre unbeaten at home in 9 winning 7 drawing 2.Hartlepool have played 4 of their last 5 at home gaining 4 points their away form is woeful though,losing their last 7.

Gladbach have pulled away form the drop zone with 8 points from their last 15.theyve won 2 out of 3 at home since the season break and are facing Freiburg who havent won a game in 9 and have lost their last 4 on their travels

Gillington

Gladbach drew 1-1,so 1 win and 1 loss so far.

New balance €21.35

Double for tomorrow includes a very generous 4/5 on United imo.

Man United @ 4/5
Aston Villa v Man United

Bayern Munich @ 4/9
Bayern Munich v Hamburg
Match Betting
Lille @ 6/10
Lille v Auxerre
Match Betting
Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 11.56

I was looking at Overs in both these games but decided against it.Lille are awesome at home and even though Auxerre arent far off them in the league I think Lille are the better side.Bayern are a bit short against a good Hamburg team but they have the players and the the want to move back to the top of the table and they'll wanna capitalise on Leverkusen's slip-up today.

Bank €10
In Play €11.35

Gillington

United Liverpool double came in,Lille let me down in the other so still a 50% strike rate.

The balance was up to €25.35,gone for a double of Juventus tonight and Metz tomorrow.I'll fix up the thread in a bit

Bank €20

Good luck with it,

Juventus lost so the Metz game doest matter,had alook towads tomorrows to try and get better earlier prices

Bristol Rovers @ 4/7
Bristol Rovers v Stockport
Match Betting
Notts County @ 2/5
Notts County v Macclesfield
Match Betting

Bristol and Stockport have similar form recently W2 D1 L2 in their last 5 but Bristol have an outside chance of reaching the playoffs and they need to win games like this,they've won their last 2 at home(against promotion chasers Charlton and Colchester) while Stockport have only won one away from home in 10 and that was against fellow strugglers Exeter.Stckport are missing 2 regular defenders aswell.

Notts County got over their 3 game mini slump in tyle with a 5-0 win on the weekend and its that home form that has them in 7th,only 2 losses at home from 15.Macclesfield havent won in 9 games andthey have only 2 away league wins all season,both against teams in the bottom 3.

Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 11.00

6 Bets so far looks like WLWLWW

with a bank of €32.88.Not too sure about tomorrow's International's I'll have a look in morning.

7)

I know International friendlies can be a minefield but picked a double none the less

Portugal @ 40/85 -1
Portugal v China
Match Handicap -1
Holland @ 1/2
Holland v U.S.A.
Match Betting
Total stake € 5.88
Estimated return € 12.97

Portugal had to qualify for the World Cup the hard way through the playoff's which hasn't eased the fans worries.Should be a few fringe players involved but they should have the quality for a couple of goals.

Both teams have qualified for the WC so this could be a bit strategic or boring but after two 0-0's in their last friendlies the Dutch will want to get themselves sorted up front.Hopefully Sneijder,Huntelaar,Robben etc can bang a couple in.Fair enough US beat Spain in the Confederations but they have lost their last 2 friendlies against weaker European opposition then Holland

West Ham @ 4/5
West Ham v Bolton
Match Betting
Yes @ 8/11
Q.P.R. v West Brom
Both Teams To Score - Yes/No
Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 15.55

Two good bets on their own in my opinion.West Ham have quietly gone about their business since new owners came in and are pushing away from the drop zone thanks to their home league form.Since losing 4-0 to United they have gone 5 unbeaten at home(W3 D2)and conceded only 1 and that was to Chelsea.4 home clean sheets in a row.Bolton too have their home form to thank for not being in the bottom 3 but their away form is horrible at the minute.Including a 4-0 FA Cup loss to Spurs they havent scored an away goal in 5 games(fair enough hard teams,City,Liverpool,Wigan,Blackburn and Spurs FA).Still no away win since October.

I'm hoping new manager syndrome kicks in for QPR(although I'm not Colin's:D biggest fan).They find themselves at the wrong end of the table,i'm sure most football fans wouldnt have seen that given all the money they have.1 win in 11 games makes for sorry reading but at home they have scored in every game bar one in all comps this season.They still have good attacking players,Simpson,Buszaky,Taarabt so i'll take a goal from any of them!
West Brom may have been slightly side-tracked with the FA Cup but thats gone now so they'll concentrate on catching Newcastle.They've scored the most away goals in the league with 32.Theyve scored in their last 17 games in all comps and on their travels have scored in their last 12.

New Bank €25
In Play €9.97

I'm heading away next weekend so expect a few more bets this weekend to try help pay for it!

11.

Second bet for tonight

Go Ahead Eagles @ 4/7
Go Ahead Eagles v Dordrecht 90
Match Betting
Fortuna Dusseldorf @ EVS
Fortuna Dusseldorf v Greuther Furth
Match Betting
Total stake € 5.00
Estimated return € 15.71

Dordrecht seem to be just a mid-table side,no hopes for promotion but safe enough from relegation and they have only 1 point from the last available 18.Go Ahead have let slip in the last few weeks with 3 draws against teams they should be beating.They have won 6 out of their last 8 home games with F20 A9 so I reckon this could be an exciting home win.

Furth aren't a bad side and sit in 8th but Dusseldorf's home form is awesome,W10 D2 L0.They've won their last 8 at home and they've only conceded 5 at home all season.

Bank €20
In Play €14.97

Gillington

WLWLWWWLW?L I'll stick to bets placed rather then when they happen hence the ?

Was considering the double chance on Dusseldorf but I don't usually do them so I wasnt gonna start now,even though neither sides came through in that double,more disappointed in the Go Ahead result.

Anyways them's the blows and and at least I'd one winner tonight which sorta points out the reasoning for my thinking,1 double came in,1 didnt but I made a couple of Euro.In fairness this mightnt seem alot to punters but to online punters it can mean alot if you get me.I usually stick to €5 doubles so if a few come in then I'll go to €6/€7 etc .I'm in it for the long-term(although I do like the excitement of a €1 900/1 accumalator as much as the next fella!) and Ill happily as take out €20 a week then €100 every 5 weeks but I suppose each to their own.

Right back to business,I'll edit this post tomorrow but for now

Bit of a Derby in the german one,I usually like backing over 2.5 in derbies but Ill stick to home win,Dortmund beat Gladbach away from home earlier in season.Theyre in a bit of a bad run 1 win in 5 but they are scoring and at home they've won 6 from their last 8.I liked the look of Zidan the other night for Egypt.

Not a fan of backing against Peterborough for some reason they always seem to screw up my bets! But Forest are awesome at home and have won their last 10 in a row league games.Peterborough have won 2 from their last 3 but have only 7 points from 54 on the road and should find Forest too much

Auxerre can go top with a win this evening,if just for one night as they are the only top 6 side playing.Le Mans have only managed 1 win from 10 and away from home,okay they have 4 points in their last 2 games but that was aganst the 2 sides below them,before that they lost 12 away games on the bounce.

Could be a tricky this double this one Wolfsburg could be tired after their 120 mins against Rubin Kazan but Grafite might be back and Hertha have only won 3 games all season and areacertainty to go down.AC have been dodgy all season and I'm sure I'm not the only one to lose cash on them but they can go top with a win after Inter's draw.Despite getting thrashed by United,their league form ain't too bad with 16 points from their last 18 available put that against Napoli who have 4 from 21 and look to have lost out their Champions league hopes.They are also struggling with a good few injuries especially at the back

Southampton 4/9
Southampton v Hartlepool
League 1
Over 2.5 Goals 1/2
Werder Bremen v Augsburg
DFB Pokal
Total stake €5
Estimated returns €10.83

Need a win to keep me going so hopefully picked the right double.I like Werder and was contemplating the handicap -1 but Augsburg are a decent first div side with a good chance of going up and they have already beaten 2 Bundesliga teams to get here.Augsburg keep it tight on the road but you'd be getting good valuefor money if you were a Werder season ticket holder,10 out of their last 11 home games in all comps have finished Overs plus so have all their 4 DFB cup games this season (5-0,2-1,3-0 and 2-1).Goals please.

Southampton are another team I like and have won a few people some cash this season I'd say.I'm gonna try forget their 1-0 home loss to swindon and concentrate more on their 7 straight home league wins before that.with Rickie Lambert they have the leagues top scorer>hartlepool have only 2 points from their last 33 on the road and have only scored 1 away goal in their last 5.

As I say nothing spectacular here,just need to get back on track
