THE BETTING THREAD

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

LWJ - £50 on Reading, away from home given how we've been playing?

I know Barnsley are dump, but that's pretty strong fella. I actually thought Barnsley were decent value @ 27/10 with Betfair!

I'm having a couple of quid on a throwaway acca:

Arsenal / Napoli draw @ 13/5 (Benitez knows how to not lose in the CL)
Celtic / Barca draw @ 4/1 (No Messi - Celtic rested a load of players in their last game - clutching at straws...)
Steaua / Chelsea draw @ 14/5 (Mourinho is looking increasingly fed up with people questioning his team selection and it's forcing him to make some odd selection choices & Steaua are a bit of an unknown).

£2 returns £136.80

[TFF]

Huddersfield @ 5/2
Burnley @ 11/8
Forest @ 5/4
Reading @ 11/10

Lucky 15

after the event but £5 on Sky Bet's "price boost" Lukaku first scorer from 7-2 to 5-1 last night. "kerching"

[LWJ]

Burnley, Forest and Watford 10/1 £10 on

Reading @ 6/5 £50 on

Literally walked through the door at home and then opened the iPad to cash out, and they scored. fcuk.

Right gonna have a few punts decided by random on football. Going to limit myself to a bank of a grand with ten pound wagers and keep betting 'til i lose it all or double my money (either way will take fcuking ages).Not quite sure how the mechanics will work but thinking

decided by random:

the amount of bets per day (1-5)
which league (English games take precedent then whatever's on)
which game
which outcome

so for tomorrow

3 bets
Europa

Din Zagreb 3.8
Kuban Krasnodar 2.65
Pandurii 3.8

Interesting. How are you deciding which fixtures to bet on? & Are those bets singles?

I think the word 'random' reveals his methodology.

Your post reveals you to be an oxf*rd idiot

[creative_username_1]

random.org to choose 'random' numbers

random number of bets between 1 and 5
english leagues prem = 1, champ = 2 random number to select one (also depends upon availability)
oddschecker lists games in alphabetical order - random number selects game
3 outcomes - 1 home win, 2 draw, 3 away win

something like that

I'll also take a side bet with anyone that for a minimum number of games my random choices will outperform
there 'considered' choices

Surprised this question hasn't been asked yet, but why are you doing this?

Had Bolton to win at 7-1 last night.

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Bournemouth (Win) @ 5/4
Q.P.R. (Win) @ 2/5
Peterborough (Win) @ evens
Portsmouth (Win) @ 7/5

4 Fold Accumulator £10 stake wins £151.20

Plus 4 insurance trebles on the same teams @£1.11 - £4.44 wins £34.83.

So that's £14.44 wins £186.03

After post betting counts for nothing, particularly with your track record.
