RJ's Premier League Mug's Game weekend punting

Compared to the horse racing my football betting is woreful, in fairness though I don't do much of it This log will be with real money not a virtual bank like my Home and Hosed racing log. I'll be using cash in betting offices as opposed to Betfair money as I don't want to be messing about with my Betfair bank.

€20/week will be the limit Although if I have a run of good luck I may risk more, €20/week of my own money will be all it will cost me though, worst case scenario.

My own views on football betting, it's a bit of fun with little to no value as the bookies can be trusted to price up a three horse race fairly spot on in my view.

First bet is

€20
Liverpool to beat Sunderland @ 1/2
doubled with
Newcastle to draw with Arsenal @ 5/2

RJ my advice would be try and stick to singles only. Yes the bookies lure in punters with temptations of higher odds but its not worth it.

For every match their are 3 possible outcomes: home win, draw and away win. When you start doing doubles and upwards the numbers of outcomes increases and becomes harder to win your bet.

goodluck with log

I agree entirely, I apply those thoughts to my horse racing punting, the €20/week football bet is simply a bit of crack away from horse betting for me.

i see you do a few draws RJ,trebles on these are hard to get up but doubles are the way to go,a 1 point double at say 10/3 and 16/5 wud return over 18 points.
29% of all games in prem last season were draws so just under 1/3,im sure wit a little homework there could be something there

Indeed, the accums I do are meaty pricewise, I don't expect to get more than 3 of them over the season I expect to get between 0 and 3 of them up

This week's docket....

Arsenal v Swansea
Arsenal win 2-0 5/1

Bolton v Man Utd
Utd win 1.0 11/2

2 €5 singles and a €10 double

Would be nice to get something back if one of them comes in, there's plenty off the double anyway.

Arsenal v Swansea
Arsenal win 2-0 5/1

Arsenal won 1-0

Bolton v Man Utd
Utd win 1.0 11/2

Utd won by quite a bit.

-€80

Arsenal win 10/11 double with Everton draw 14/5
€20

-€100 Arsenal are gone so woefully sh1t.

Wolves + I goal at 2/1
Arsenal (Yes, I know) -1 goal at 1/1
€20 double

I'm working tomorrow and even though there's plenty of time to between now and then to have a ponder about the weekend's matches I have no enthusiasm to do so.

I won't be sticking this out ;till the end of the season, log terminated.

RJ is sticking to the horses
