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

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.

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

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