Super_Ally 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Scooter, I only use bet365 (hardcore gamblers who really no their stuff no doubt have numerous accounts for best odds) and imo the stats they offer when selecting your bets are highly informative. You get form, league tables, results against this weeks opposition, away form, home form league tables that take into account only home or away games. If you prepared to spend the time you can really research your bets. Still a mugs game, but honestly I am definitely well up (well what I consider well up) over my short gambling career. I also use BBC to look at tables, recent results, team/injury news. Basically the more info you can get the more informed your betting is. Whilst it is still luck, I do believe if you do your "homework" then football gambling has an element of skill that isn't there for my mates who regularly win and lose big at the casinos. Still comes down to luck and Beattie will quite rightly tell you it's all geared in the bookies favour. However if you're sensible you can try and turn things more in your favour. I occasionally look at bettingzone.co.uk for their tips, but over the last year or so I have put a lot less faith in their bets as they seem to go chasing the "good odds" or "value bets" where you can potentially win a lot for little out lay. I would rather win a little with "less risk" than lose a lot chasing what I consider dodgy bets. In short though, just because I tend to end up "up" I still wouldn't reccomend (sp) it. :D Edited October 23, 2008 by Super_Ally 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beattie 0 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Birmingham, Dundee Utd, St. Johnstone, Leeds and Celtic gave me a nice return today. My mate, however.. was playing on my Ladbrokes account earlier (handed me a tenner so I loaded in funds) and won a grand playing fucking Deal or no Deal. Gonna be gutting withdrawing a grand and handing it to someone else! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well in mate. Surely your mate owes you something for using your account? Even if it's just a few beers. My winnings this week paid for me and the flat mate to go to Hamilton today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Lost �£300 on Manu U Rangers. Would've returned �£600. Reading lost �£200 in a treble with Juve and barca. Can't remember what that would've returned. �£75 up for the day tho. Just playing around with the winnings of midweek so going a bit crazy with the stakes. But thought sod it, never had the money in the first place and when will I be in a position to put money like that on games again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You seem to be doing ok so far though SA, the initial win was a cracker so quite right to have a little fun. May lead to even bigger 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
