£10 into £2000 in 365 days

Haha! Understandable. I've heard rumours that Vitoria love a good smash and grab.

On another note, bets placed, cheers reids.

 

These rumours weren't true. Vitoria 1-0 down.

 

Bad day.

 

Vitoria equalise. 1-1, 5 mins left...

 

Vitoria score in 87th min. 2-1! The bet is on!

 

GOALLLLLLLLLLL VITORIA

2-1, added time

 

FT: Vitoria 2-1 Portuguesa

Nice. Hoping tomorrow/today is a profitable day.

 

ye of little faith.

 

I was watching the seconds tick down on the in play updates.

 

for a payout of £1 something? what are you going to be like when we use bigger stakes?

 

Truly a fascinating thread. I'm not a betting man (cards aside) but if I was in the UK I would certainly be a part of this.

 

Accy, sorry!

Woke up to find Vitoria won (was ****ed from the night before so had an early one!). Looked at the goal times and laughed, one thing i've learnt, is it's never over till the final whistle! Seen some incredible things in the last few minutes of matches before, and learnt some things as well (http://www.futbol24.com/team/Lithuania/FK-Ekranas/) this team normally always score suspiciously late..check out the stats in the bottom right, 14 of their 40 goals scored this season have come in the last 14 minutes.

 

I won a 10 fold accy and got £450 due to Aguero's goal against QPR. So I really do know that it's never over till the final whistle.

 

Phew, glad Vitoria won - had it down as a sure win, kinda of made up for a bad day of gambling and put me £3.50 in profit. Be nice to hit the 200 quid mark today!

If anyone's interested here's what I've got on for today:

Angelhorn to win - £9 on
Helsinborg 0.0 -0.5 £9 on
BodyGlimt & Helsiborg Double - £8 on

 

My missus bought some of that Bodyglimt at Superdrugs this morning.

I expect we'll have a couple of cold Helsinborgs a bit later and then I'll rub some of it in for her.

 

Blinding goal from Helsinborg.

1-0 up with 22 mins gone.

"Phlurby kurty bilsungarten" according to the Swedish commentators.

 

The Slavia Prague game has just hit 4 goals in the 80th minute. The other one held at 3-0 against 10 men.

And Turku lost.

Looks like it could be down to Helsinborgs today.

EDIT: The Accy is sunk. Slavia Prague pulled it back to 3-2 in the 88th. All on Helsingborgs (Currently 1-1 at Half Time).

 

Not a good day today but I trust reids to get more good days than bad days.

 

Helsingborg 2-1 down now. Oh well.

 

Helsinborg now 2-1 down.

25 mins to go. Can there be another miracle turnaround?

 

Doubtful now, shocking day. My apologies all. Thought today would be a relatively safe day as well! But that's football..

Gutted that it's essentially wiped out a majority of our profit up until now.

 

Firstly apologies for the awful day today, should never have included the -1 for Helsingborg, as that bumped the stake up leaving us to rely too much on Helsingborg to win, that result (combined with the other losses) means we’re just on 20p profit now which i’m pretty gutted about. But still, these days WILL indeed happen, but as long as we have more profitable days than losing days then we’re still laughing at the end of the day, and i’m still confident that we can certainly do that. On the plus side I watched the entirety of the Helsingborg game, and Djurgardens played very well and created an incredible atmosphere, so I will definitely be keeping an eye out for potential bets on them to win, so this game could still benefit us in the long run!.

Day 6

Balance: 10.20

Capital One Cup Bristol Rovers v Watford
06-08-2013 19:45
Win-Draw-Win
Watford @ 5/6 (please read below before placing!)

Stake: 75p

Gonna get this out the way quickly. Watford are my team, I support them, go to most games both home and away. I normally try not to let that influence my bets and you won’t often see me posting a bet involving Watford on here, but I feel this price is too good to take. Bristol City are in league 2 and are without 9 first team players (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23499317) for the game. I think the reason the price is so high for Watford to win, is due to the fact the bookies have no idea what sort of team Watford are going to put out for the game. I think a few first teamers from Watford will be rested, but the players that will replace them are most certainly Championship quality, and should be able to win against a league 2 team with little trouble. If you’re uncertain at all, i’ll be posting as soon as the Watford team is announced tomorrow (should be around 7PM, kick off is at 7.45), to rate Watfords chances. So you can either wait until tomorrow evening or not to see whether it’s a certain bet, or take a risk and place it now at the odds of 5/6 (could change if Watford name a strong team)

Champions League Qualifiers Grasshopper Zurich v Lyon
06-08-2013 20:00
Win-Draw-Win
Lyon @ 6/4

Stake: 40p

Initially had this down as slightly bigger stake bet, but upon doing my usual research, noticed Lyon have lost a few players in the transfer window, and with the departure of Gomis imminent to Newcastle, i’m not quite as confident in this bet, hence the smaller stake. I still think Lyon have the quality to win here, they won the first leg 1-0, and I think a similar score is on the cards here.

Estonian Premier League Tammeka Tartu v Levadia Tallinn
06-08-2013 17:30
Handicap Betting
Levadia Tallinn (-2.0) @ 2/1 (please read the end of my write-up if using Bet365!)

Stake: 30p

Levadia lost us money the other day when they put 3 past Tallina Infonet, on the basis of that win i’m going to go small on the -2 handicap. I again wanted -1 (if -2 is 2/1, -1 should be 4/6 or 5/6) but as usual it’s not priced up yet (considering the game is only tomorrow, i’m pretty annoyed that these only get fully priced up just before kick-off but that’s another story!). I’d say that Tammeka are a worse team than Tallina, conceding 6 more goals than Tallinna, having played 2 games less than them. I’m not entirely convinced Levadia can make the handicap, hence the smaller stake, but I thought that and the made up, hopefully they can do it again here!
Bet365 are still yet to price this game (they always seem to be slow on this league for some reason). But i'll be keeping an eye on it tomorrow, and will post the necessary bet as soon as its price.

 

Thank you.

 

For some reason my current balance is £9.41

 

Did you miss a bet somewhere? Or get lower odds than specified?

 

cheers reids, much appreciated.

 

I must have missed a bet as I check the odds against yours each time. I've dropped you a PM.

 

Helsinborg were real let downs, thankfully some inplay bets for L*ton and West Ham saved the day for me!

 

Will benefit us in the long run though tbh, watching that performance, Djurgardens were pretty solid, should have even scored a couple more. Certainly don't deserve to be that far down the league. Already been through and made a note of a couple of games in the future where i'll be staking on them.
