Barclays Premier League Betting Saturday 17 August 2013

Can't wait for it, d--it!

Utd supporter but considering taking the 7/2 available on Swansea

Wow didn't know Van Wolfswinkel had joined .class talent he should notch up a fair few goals this year

The price on Swansea has risen to 9/2

I will wait a little to see if it rises further but considering Swansea single and mixed with Chelsea -1 against Hull when it's available.

One concern on Chelsea with the Spanish national team playing in South America a few days before, Mourinho admitted he may not start those lads for the first game. Mata of main concern, Torres not so much. They should still have more than enough to bring a handicap in against Hull at home.

I'm gonna go with swansea and villa on asian handicap!

hey dio, what book do you usually use? i'm on the hunt for the best odds, too, though i bet on asian handicap and 1x2 most of the time. i find it too risky to bet on first goal scorers.

I always use Powers or bet365 for the first goalscorers market, accumulators, specials etc. Powers anytime coupons are extremely handy too for a small flutter. Powers have started a W-D-W and BTTS coupon now too which is something that will save me a lot of time as I go for that market a lot in doubles. I have my betfair account also for more serious single bets to usually get the better price. I am going to sign up to Coral this season also as they have some great markets. I use WilliamHills sometimes also as they offer match result and match goals combo market plus a few other great markets. Some of the other lads in here with accounts in other bookies can probably advise you better to I don't have a massive collection of accounts under my wing. Just remembered I have a Boyles account too but I rarely use it. The goal assist market is there but I never bother with it. For the Asian markets you mentioned I always took them on bet365 but there are probably better sites.

I never do a first goalscorers double or treble for more than 2 or 3 euro usually, except on odd occasion if I have a really good feeling about it might stretch to a whopping 5!. I do them every week during competitive football though. I've had one in particular pay off really well but usually they're just for sheer interest in the games.

Maybe it's because it was the first bookies I signed up to but I find Powers the best interface to get around. Bet365 does my nut in, gotten used to it's navigation now but I still think it's really awkward and a beast to run as it's written in so much flash (my laptop is a bit dated )

edit: last part should have been posted in the season long outright accum thread.

Thanks! Think I'll try paddy on some goalscorer markets and accumulators one of these days...just a small stake. I have a 365 account too but I mainly use it on tennis outrights. Too many markets there in football often drive me nuts. LOL! So far I mainly use sbobet (link to site if you haven't heard of it)which was introduced to me in another thread (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056953428) . I find it pretty easy to navigate and they got some of the best football odds too on asian handicap. Satisfied so far but I'm still looking for other markets to dabble with other than 1x2 and hdp

If your team scores the equal most goals is the bet void or a loss?

Sounds like a bookies market to me if i'm honest

Fair point I'm not sure what happens in a dead heat it says 'Singles Only. Applies to Premier League Matches for weekend August 17-19. All weekend Premier League games count including Monday. Rule 4 May Apply. Dead Heat Rules Apply.'

I just took it as I fancied Chelsea to put a good few past Hull first game in and possibly City too against Newcastle.

Am I insane doing a double on Norwich/Swansea at 12/1???

Yep. Not sure why people think Swansea might beat Utd.

i don't think it's impossible for swans to beat united, given united's preseason form. also, a handicap would give them or rather you a better chance of winning. haha.

Also I would add wins for Manchester United, Tottenham and handicap win for Chelsea.

First game for Moyes and he would like to start his career in Manchester with a win. Swansea is not from the toughest opponents and is way out of the class of Manchester United.

Tottenham has new players in their squad, key ones in the face of Soldado and Paulinho. If their game is even on 60-70% of their aiblity I expect a win against Crystal Palace as their performance would be the key for the win.

For Chelsea not much should be said. Great players, great ambitions, against the modest Hull City on Stamfford Bridge.
