Sanguine That kitty seems remarkably robust to the various tenners on the 0-0 challenge.


My Bet365 has dropped from £113 pre the £10, 0 - 0 challenge.

My Betfair rose because I got lucky with a £50 free bet token which I used to back New York City against LA Galaxy.


don't see how you can use a £50 free bet against one of your kitty's. deduct it please and keep a true tally running, not a false one.

Winston Smith Currently I think a Luton & Fulham double is looking quite good value at 4.4/1 on Skybet considering they are playing Cambridge & Blackburn respectively.


I have just gone with this for the weekend. now out to 4.76/1 on Skybet.

£5 returns £28.80

Does look a decent bet and Fulham are unbeaten this season in all competitions. Price probably driven though by their dogshit away record, just 4 wins last season.

I read that Blackburn have a few players out injured, new signings not available yet and Shane Duffy just left them (maybe not such bad news!).

Have done:-
Saints 8/13 (battle of the stripes)
Doncaster 4/6 (battle of the hoops)
Barnsley 10/11 (battle of Yorkshire reds)

A £25 win treble gives a return of £128.50 or.....nothing

double d Good old PT bets. Won a great won few weeks back (wasn't French Ligue 2 so not sure if it counts or not).

Top Flight, what are your weekend selections and how is the bankroll?


I've actually had a very quiet week on the betting front. My bankroll remains the same. Betfair is £167.59 and Bet365 is £73.80

This weekend the only bet I have placed so far is to lay Peterborough 'United in their match away to the MK Dons. I fancy the MK Dons to win or draw that game. If the Dons win or draw I win £10. If Peterborough win away, I lose £21.

I want to try and find a good bet that I can place on bet365 so that I can build that account back towards £100. But I have to be careful on that one. I don't want that account to slip further as it will get difficult to bring it back.

I earned that £50 free bet token thank you very much. Betfair offered to match my bet up to the value of £50 by providing a free bet token if i bet on the Man U/Saints game in play. I decided to risk £50 betting that Man U would beat the Saints. I placed the bet in-play in order to qualify for a free bet token. Fortunately United did beat Southampton so I won the qualifying bet. Then I had a free £50 token to bet with. Again, I correctly backed NYCFC to beat Galaxy. So, there is nothing wrong with my free bet token and it does count towards my target. It was good betting by me, using bonuses to boost my winnings. I had to take the risk in order to qualify so of course it counts.

My 2nd bet of the weekend is a draw no bet selection backing Wealdstone in their match against Hampton and Richmond. £13.60 returns £22.66 if Wealdstone win. If it's a draw I don't lose my stake. If Wealdstone lose, I lose my stake.

So just 2 bets this weekend. MK Dons and Wealdstone.

he started with 200 quid so needs to make about 12% a month to hit a grand.

always seems do-able when you put it like that

I'm trying to lay Hampton and Richmond for 2.7 on the Betfair exchange but nobody has been stupid enough yet to match my bet. Also there is little interest on that betting market anyway. Only £6 matched so far. Bet365 are offering Hampton at 3/1.

No. I laid Peterborough off at 3.1. So if MK Dons win or draw, I win £10. If the Dons lose, I lose £21.
