    Iceland, Poland, Wales and Italy all to qualify - 109.68/1 - Bet365... :naughty:

    Right, current thoughts on next season:

    Watford top 10 - 10/1 - £10
    Deeney top scorer - 66/1 - £2.50
    Deeney top scorer 66/1 - e/w - £5
    Leicester bottom 10 - 3/1 - £5
    To win outright - Manu - 7/2 - £10

    All Bet365

    Nothing out on handicaps yet from Bet365

    There's going to be no value on Watford this season, apart from perhaps the handicap betting again. I'd be looking at odds on Palace to go down as my Prem bet this season.

    What about Burnley as the surprise package for value betting? A lot of people saying they could be the Watford of 2016/17.

    I think they're more likely to be the Watford of 2006/7.

    Will be interesting to see the point on the Watford handicap, not sure how the bookies will react to last season, bookies usually tend to over react in any situation, got on palace to go down just after the end of the season, think burn key could be a good handicap bet, think hull will struggle but no value, think Bournemouth will go down (but said that last season) and may be some value.

    I hope I q wrong but think the premiership will rerun to the status quo, the big six will be the top six and and no one does a Leicster.

    Think Liverpool will be a a good bet, think Everton may be a good handicap bet.

    Watford top 10 finish 11.00 100.00
    Watford top 6 finish 51.00 25.00
    Chelsea, Newcastle, Sheffield United, Portsmouth for the title 25.00 returns just short of 20k

    Now just awaiting top goal scorers and the handicap from 365.

    Next season will be purely anytime goalscorer accumulators and btts and result accumulators. Smaller bets with mentally high odds. I'm just sick of getting shafted by the so called bankers.

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    In a reverse of this, I'm going for more accumulators of very low odds.

    Team win and BTTS proved really difficult last year to get even 1 right - perhaps that was due to the weird nature of last season. Anytime goalscorer accys must be really hard to win. Maybe done on a yankee or heinz but not outright accumulator.

    I've been trying 6-8 match accumulators on 1/8 or above odds on the tennis and getting quite a good return.

    Good luck to you. Be interesting to see who does better across the season.
    Often thought tennis was a good option but I have very limited knowledge so steer clear.
    Do you go with set stakes on the footy or do you follow some kind of plan?
    Tried the £10 to a £1000 but always bottle out.

    south korea just put 3 goals past fiji in under 2 minutes. final score 8-0. they scored twice in injury time and 2 more goals was 16/1 on 88min :/

    fiji have to play germany who took a strong team and mexico in their group (i say strong as i regard it as a youth tournament)

    doubt the odds will have much value, but should be a good tip (double check the line ups)

    Sorry Carpster, I missed this reply. I'm no professional gambler and don't take it too seriously. I just pick a handful of games over a short period and stick a few quid on them! It's just a bit of fun for me to get the blood rushing.

    I possibly bet 7 -8 times over a decent English football weekend so chuck a fair few bets on, but it's only ever in the few pounds zone and I generally end up even, slightly up or slightly down. Never lose a lot, never win a lot.

    Though it still gets my nerves tingling if I've got a £2 accumulator on and the return is £8, even though I could easily afford to chuck £20 on it! I'm basically a tight B******.

    Both the games against Mexico and Germany will end up in double figures. The entire Fiji team play in the Fijian league, which is not of a great standard.

    This is indeed quite a surprise. Mexico were 1/100 to win!

    Ah here we go. South Korea vs Fiji was only 1-0 until the 60th minute.

    Liverpool at very good odds against the Arse next week considering who's out injured for Arsenal and Liverpool's impressive win against Barca.

    I did Mexico -2 at half time. would have usually cashed out and placed it on another goal but had footy at 7

    Leicester away to Hull are fantastic odds for the Saturday lunchtime kick off at 21/20. Fancy the handicap. Throw in PSG on Friday night and City on Saturday evening against Sunderland and you've got quite a nice accy!
     
  19. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    I'm thinking a cheeky little punt on Ibrahimovic as top goalscorer at 9/1. Had a really strong start and Mourinho looking to build the team around him.

    Germany 8-0 up after 52 minutes....did I bet on it? Of course not :doom:

    watford 9/1 with bet365 to finish top half, some value there considering some bookies are offering only half those odds!
     
  22. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    I will stick £1.43 on that. No more, no less.

    So what are everyone's final season bets - Watford or otherwise?

    Is the Zlatan one total goals in all competitions or just Prem?
     
  26. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Sheff weds top 6 looks good. It's actually at 5/4 with bet365 right now even though they won their first game. I'm on that.

    Just prem.

    Hull have 13 senior players and only one fit centre back, Jake Livermore is apparently going to have to drop back into defence.
     
  31. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Yeah I'm generally in agreement with you there. Too long to reap the rewards (or cry over the losses). Also on Bet365 the bet stays on your account for ages after you know you've pretty much lost. Like on an accy, it will stay on even if one of the bets lose, so it sits 'there on your account for ages. Better delete it off your 'Current Bets' or have an option to delete on the account. maybe others do?

    Mortgage is going on Leicester this weekend. Also, Hull to be bottom at Christmas is 15/8 so worth a few quid.
     
  32. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Ok, just laid on a few cheeky ones:

    Manu top 4 - 4/11
    Sheff Weds top 6 - 5/4
    Bayern win league - 1/8
    Millwall top 6 - 4/5
    Leyton O top 7 - 10/11
    £6 on - £71.16 return

    Hull bottom at Christmas @ 15/1 - £5 returns £14.37

    Watford +40 handicap @ 15/1 - £5 returns £80

    Burnley, Hull & Sunderland relegated @ 33/1 - £2 returns £68

    Burnley, Hull & Swansea relegated @ 33/1 - £2 returns £68

    And one from earlier post:

    Watford top half finish @ 9/1 - £1.43 returns £14.30

    May have £20 on that, cracking shout.

    edit: hold on, your maths is way out. is it 15/1 or 3/1?
    edit edit: 3/1, boooooo. Not worth £20.

    Oops. Sorry. This is why I SHOULDN'T run the betting league Harrow Orn. (Although I'd probably be able to fix it so HM didn't win...)
